How to make MyBB 1.4 Plugin's work in 1.6

[iGame]

So you have upgraded to mybb 1.6, but now you are missing your favourite plugin which is not compatable with 1.6 this simple tutorial will show you how to make it work, please note that this may now work with all plugins:

Step 1) Download the 1.4 Plugin you want to use on your new forum, I will be downloading my plugins from here. I will be downloading this plugin


Step 2) Once you have downloaded the plugin extract it anywhere on to your computer, then open up the extracted folder then go to inc/plugins now you should see a PHP file open that up with your favourite file editor, I will be using NotePad++

Step 3) Hit Ctrl and F and then type in 14 now you should see something like this

"compatibility" => "14*"

Now replace the 14 with 16 and then save the file to make it like this:

"compatibility" => "16*"

Step 4) Using your favourite FTP client, I am using FileZilla, upload the contents of the extracted folder to your server

Step 5) Now go the admin control panel in MyBB and on the right hand side of home you should see a link called plugins, click that now click activate on the plugin you just uploaded now what ever the plugin's job is it should do it in mybb 1.6

Please Note: This may not work with every mod

Hope this Helped you!

Don't be retarded. All that does is bypass the version checker. You will have all kinds of problems if you try to use a 1.4 plugin that uses a feature of mybb that was either removed or modified in 1.6.
