Hi, I just developed a plugin but I had to modify 3 files because they didn’t have the hooks I needed.
I am using MyBB 1.6.8 but the info of the files reads only “1.6”

I am writing the instructions for installation, so my question is, is it right to tell clients that it’s safe to replace this files in any MyBB 1.6.x version? or just in 1.6.8?

The files I modify are: search.php, forumdisplay.php and functions_search.php

Thanks

Matt

No, you can't just use a file from any version because if changes have been made since things may break. The solution is just to make your edits to the current file.

Or you could use PluginLibrary to write the changes to the files within your actual plugin: http://community.mybb.com/thread-87399.html
