The best place to ask this is at the hacking site: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/Steve Machol, former vBulletin Customer Support Manager (and NOT retired!)
Change CKEditor Colors to Match Style (for 4.1.4 and above)

Originally posted by Crater SeraphSteve, not that I'm one to question your answers, but intergration may not always be 'hacking'. Using an outside script with your database, like portaling, is actual a basic idea and use among vBulletin's database setup.
gab1982 >> This also depends on how much integration you are looking for. If you want to integrate it into the template system then you have alot of work to do. Also keep in mind that just by adding the basic elements e.g include("./forumdirectory/global.php"); you may run into other problems as well. The coding and sql calls could put you at a disadvantage if not properly written by the author of the other code and by this I mean you would have to make changes to it to be compatible with vb.

Any integration with non-vB scripts falls under the 'hacking' category. I'm not sure why anyone would think otherwise, but this has always been the case.
Besides, the people with the most knowledge and extertise on doing this are at vbulletin.org. Which is why I said the 'best place' to ask is there.Steve Machol, former vBulletin Customer Support Manager (and NOT retired!)

Modifying vBulletin source or db structure == hacking.
Adding new files and making no change to existing files or db !== hacking.
If this was hacking then uploading avatars would be hacking.

All I said was that was that vbulletin.org was the 'best place' to ask this question. Why did this turn into a controversy?
Nonetheless support for the writing of non-vB scripts is outside the purview of vB support and falls into the category of 'hacks' for the purpose of support on these forums.Steve Machol, former vBulletin Customer Support Manager (and NOT retired!)
