I am now more than a little pissed at the non-existant lines that this hack says to find:
public_forum_page.pl
$vars_wordlets{closed_topic}
that does NOT exist in either the orginal 6.3.1.1 zip file, nor in the 6.3.1 code. Where exactly is it? I have so far wasted my time because people have claimed this hack is working when in fact the instructions are incorrect.Did you happen to notice this forums description? The part that says 'V6.3x BETA Mods'? This mod is a beta, installers are the beta-testers and this is why its posted here instead of within the v6.3x Finished Mods forum.
This software works perfectly fine on ubb boards version 6.3.0 -- as the code was tested on v6.3.0 as indicated within the original mod description. Others have installed to 6.3.1 & v6.3.1.1 without many reported troubles, but im also geussing the multiple v6.3.1 and v6.3.1.1 installers knew enough perl to figure out where to place the listed code chunk. 8 Posts up, Chrimera says he/she installed to 6.3.1, and while there were 2 syntax inconsistencies in the install instructions, he/she was able to install the hack. However, Chrimera didn't state the syntax inconsistencies with v6.3.1 thus I couldn't repair them.
Anyhows, thanks for pointing out an inconsistency in the BETA VERSION installation instructions. The installation manual has been upgraded to show exactly where to put the code in v6.3.1. Re-download the software, examine the new installation text and rehack public_forum_page.pl. Note: Chimera says there were 2 inconsistencies, so you might find another somewhere -- if you do, please post it and i'll repair it as soon as possible.
Please attempt to be a bit more charismatic and not rant when reporting bugs -- thats what this forum is for. Software within this forum is prone to various inconsistencies or bugs, its the nature of these hacks. If you have additional troubles with installing or operating this mod, please post the issues here and i'll be more then happy to help you out.
