    Having trouble finding which file to modify? Corehack will get you there quickly. Think you know whichfile to edit, yetyour changes have no effect? Maybe the file you want to change has been over ridden? Let Corehack show you the way.

    Instructions for use:
    To view the file path for components and modules withview page source,enable HTML comment mode only. HTML comments and images will display captioned images directly on your page.



    Even simpler instructions for use:

    * Enable the plugin
    * In another browser,display the page you wish to change the layout of
    * View the html source [View->Page Source in Firefox]or [View-> Source in Internet Explorer]
    * Copy the source and open it in your favorite html editor
    * Thensearch the html textfor some keyword that is contained in your module output
    * Scroll up and find the html comment begin module
    * Edit the code within the comment beginning and ending



    The Corehack system plugin modifies,yet separately maintains, the module helper and component view, when enabled. In other words, it hacks the core files, but it stores the hacked files in seperate directories. So it doesn't overwrite the files - if you uninstall the plug in you aren't left with hacked files.



    Core function is not deleted AND is rehacked on every run so that when you upgrade your Joomla installation this plugin will continue to function.



    Note: after running the first time, you can view the corehack folder in the system plugins folder and see what files are being used by corehack



    This module MUST be the first plugin run or other plugins may override its ability to override core functionality.
    Future Development Roadmap:

    * Respond to change/clarification/bugfixes
    * Figure out chrome function a bit better and determine if it can be more meaninful
    * Add component to maintain core hack settings and allow for additional core hacks to be added without plugin modification
    * Save the version of core files hacked so they aren't rehacked on every run
    * Move to using regexp rather than string replace
    * Add option use core hacks only if logged on as admin(?or specify user or maybe use keyword since we run before many things are initialized?).
