UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V5 Mod Questions Copy this message / source code hack

Well I have wanted an easier way for my UBB users to be able to copy messages and source
code from my UBB, so I created this hack. It is basically a modified EditPost routine
that displays the message in an editor box and has a "Select All" button. This makes
it easier for users to copy stuff from your UBB that want to save.

See it in action at

First off, you'll need to save this image
and upload it to your UBB NONCGI directory, called copy.gif

Second, prepare to edit the following scripts: postings.cgi and ubb_library2.pl

In ubb_library2.pl

Find


Add BELOW the following


Next find the following


And add after it

Please note that this may be slightly different depending on what other hacks you
have installed, and how your message icons are arranged.

Next open up postings.cgi

find


and add below that


Next find the EditPost routine


Add the following BEFORE this


And your done! Just upload these changes, and remember to update your threads. Please
feel free to let me know if there are any problems with this hack, since these are the
first major UBB changes I have made by myself

Hope you like this hack!
