Thanks very much!

[Tony]

Just to note, this tutorial does not work with any of the Release Candidates.

[Xing]

I currently have RC1 (well I'm pretty sure I do... it's not really helpful since they removed the version counter from the footer and files :<)  installed with changes done to my init.php file that should fix this issue (it's working for me atm... at least).

 

Try these changes as I've published it to diffchecker:

https://www.diffchecker.com/vg8i4n2p

Let me know if this works ;3

Awesome tut, man.  Thanks.

[Decon]

Good to here that it is working. Glad someone can actually verify that it works on the latest release.

[Luke]

This works great, but is there anyways to remove the license key missing warning?

I'd assume this doesn't apply in IPB 4... After my testing, I'll likely continue to use 3.x.x until an actual nulled release is made available by one of the generous flakes here!

[Oklah]

Thx

[Erza]

Thanks for the time to write this tutorial. Sadly, I will have to replace my beta forum again now.
