Thats why i hate to do file edit mods. All my mods are run through the standard component or module implementation that ipb has. The only thing that the users do is just edit the settings via admincp and that is it.
The problem with this is that the hack is limited to do certain things

Security over functionality *any* day. I’d rather not have a Spam Factory running on any server I administer, which is the problem with most out-of-date Forum software … in this case, the customer’s version was more than a year old — and, to my knowledge, unmodified.

Well the problem with users trying to update their ipb forum is that they have quite a lot of addons which have edits in quite a lot of pages. Some people take days to implement those to the new version. And sometimes there are big errors that pops up because the author of the mod screwed up.
