UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6.4 - 6.7 Modifications Forum Design Integration Compact Headers 2.0.0 Final!!!

yes it has onload in one of the included java pages that it uses.

K, I updated the zip Allen. I wasn't really paying attention to most of that conversation, but, um, yeah... Muchas gracias.

---Skorpion

Allen do you know what is cuasing my problem???

probably the onload for the menu's are conflicting with the onload for the transition pages. That would be in sub transition in public_common.pl

well it is messed up on all the pages tho.

Will you help me fix this problem???

Allen i found the problem i was using beyond compare to see the differences between the original and this version and was doing line converts back to the original so that i could fint he problem and it worked. The problem was the following line.
i deleted it and my menu started working perfectly so i am happy about that.

Now i get to run ch200

Another bug in this hack. This hack gets rid of UBBFreind on the topic page if you have it on.

Hangs on transitions becuase of the body onload in the transition so i reverted the transition timing methodway back to the original way so now it refreshes correctly

Is everybody dead???

public_register_page.pl and public_register_page_kid.pl need to be updated they have not been updated to with the new header so you have a messed up page with 2 login things. I made a fix that uses the standard_table_title but it says Login or register after you are not logged in but that doesn't look that bad on the register page.

Thanks for the bug reports, Tim. I'll be getting these fixed shortly. I expect my computer to arrive within days (thank God) and will get to them as soon as I have it back.

Oh, btw, the UBBFriend exclusion is intentional, partly because I don't use/like it myself, and mostly because I couldn't find any good place to put it inside the table. $MainButtons was considered, but it stretched that line out to insane lengths, especially when combined with other hacks like calendar/memberlist. And leaving it floating outside the table would go against the principle of CH. Feel free to hack it in yourself, but I have no plans of putting it back into the "official" code.

---Skorpion

yes i made some mods to it already and have added that.

a question:

im currently runnin 6.1.0.2 (im assumin its close enuf to '.3' to work). but, i have who's online installed -- which appears, uneditted, above my forums right now, in its own table just below the "login" box area.

i know on your boards, skorp, you moved the who's online bit to the bottom, in the compact footers area (a seperate, individual hack i wish y'had ) ....

but... whut'll happen with my who's online, after i pump in CH 2.0? will i lose it?

what would be a quick(est) way to add it as the bottom row in the CH table?

Once you put CH on, WoL will no longer show on your boards with the stock CH templates, but it's really easy to add back in. Just follow the WoL install directions for public_forum_summary.pl and public_forum_page.pl to add the line back in wherever you want it.

---Skorpion

so, just rehack those two files, as stated in the WOL thing?

...sweeeet...

hmm... im now realizin it'll be a lot more than just altering my who's online. ... this's really meant to attach to a completely hack-free board, eh?

do you happen to have a retroactive way to hack this? (just telling you what to change or add in your current files, instead of proactive replacement files). at least for the "popular" files, like public summary and page (?)

Sorry, I don't. Since Infopop is allowing full template distribution, I had no plans at all of even having an "instructions only" version, so there isn't a changelog of any sort. The best thing I can tell you to do, if you really do require something like that, is get Beyond Compare, and compare Allen's normal XHTML templates to my CH2 templates and find the changes yourself. That would be the best, if not only way to use instruction-based hacking instead of the whole template files.

Yes, these were really meant to use as a starting point on a clean board.

---Skorpion

Why do you have to login in to download it? It is not fair for the free version not to try and use it on their sites.

There's no such thing as a "free version" of UBB. There's a "demo" that destroys itself after a thousand page views, so you can't use it on a live site. And altering the demo is illegal anyway. And if you obtained a free copy of the full version, that's illegal too.

And if that's the case, yes, it is fair for me to require login. I paid $200 just to get my copy of UBB, dumped another $100 into membership extensions, and have put many many hours of work into my hack. What's unfair is for some ****eating warez retard to get a pirated copy of a program that most of us paid good money for, as well as get access to good hacks that we developers are really proud of.

Now, if you don't mind, I'd prefer this thread not get polluted by anymore mention of warez and turn into a flamefest, so here's advance notice that any further replies about warez or complaints about my required login will be deleted on sight.

---Skorpion

heheheheh... thanks for the laugh, I can start my day now

hmm...

ok, few probs:

1) as stated before, the long post name extends the header table, instead of holding a pre-determined width and wrapping. (fixed, perhaps, with a set TD width, removing, if possible, the "nowrap," and aligning that side "right" ??)

2) on the topic page, the "moderated by:" and "show topics from" sections are appearing in the top table, between the "new topic" and "forum home >>," instead of appearing below them, in the top line of the post table, like here at ubbdev

3) on the forum summary, my "Registered Members" appears on top of (instead of left of) the "newest member" bit.

imma try to reinstall this... mebbe i did something wrong (tho i did do it from a clean 6.1.0.3)

ok, i fixed prob #3 (i forgot to upload the hacked forum summary.cgi).

the other two remain.

i also dont get the "show all topics, 10 days, etc" option at all, im realizing, rather, the "page 1,2,3, etc" option

and there appears to be a purdy large gap between the CH table and the posting table.

we have long topic titles here too, so I had to adapt it here and there... I can post a couple of templates we have if you want.. it's just moving stuff around Post what you need to see we have..

i guess i was pretty much looking for the version of compact headers that appears here, at ubbdev (which i'd then tweak further, of course, but this'd be a great starting point).

so, if you have the templates or whatever for these CH, give, GIVE!

doesnt havta be php accelerated, or suited for xhtml, or aided with kung-fu grip, or even sidelined with pneumonia. just needs to look purdy.

what id like to do is upload all the CH template files, except forum summary and topic page, and manually add the CH code to that myself (if possible... which it prolly isnt, but, damnit, ill try!), because of the other various hacks and modifications i already have on me' forums.

Skorpion, I never said I had a "warez" version. I had the demo version to try it and see if I liked it. I never knew you couldn't edit the demo.

It says that in nice shiny letters before you're allowed to download it. It may behoove you to actually read licensing agreements on occasion. Did you know you're not allowed to create porn sites or trash-talk Microsoft with Frontpage 2002?

So anyway, sorry for jumping down your throat. As far as seeing it in action, just take a look here for a slightly customized version or at Se7enet for the normal one.

---Skorpion

Hey Skorp, I have a question.

I'd LOVE to have compaxt headers on my board, but after upgrading to UBB 6.1.0 I installed a LOT of hacks. Many of these updated or modified templates. If I install CH, I will lost them all. Is there a way I add CH without overwriting my templates? Could I use Beyond Compare? Or would it be possible for you to document a way of doing it so that I could manually make the change on four or five commonly viewed templates.

---Skorpion

already asked, already answered, my friend. (pgs 2-3 in heeyah).

Yeah, I'm sorry, I shoulda read everything before asking.

Many apologies.

I recently installed CH200 on a 6.1.0.3 board with many hacks already installed (chat, memberlist, whos online, hypercells, polls, anchor, avatar, upload, etc.)

I did the beyond compare method, and just changed my existing templates, but I think I've screwed myself.

The polls dont seem to be working, just a blank page shows up now after submitting a new poll. the url has "&"s instead of ";"s in it. If I hit refresh, the poll shows up, but just the question, "view results" doesnt display graphs anymore.

Right now, Im not sure what to do. I am thinking of starting all over again from a fresh 6.1.0.3 board and installing ch200 first. But this obviously would be a HUGE step backwards. I've put in countless hours installing all these hacks.

I guess this is what I get for not backing up

As I have said several times, this is best used on a clean board.

---Jamin

Okay just a couple questions. One thing where did the daily threads link go to?

also if you add any categoryies like chat statistics etc they are automatically centered instead of being placed left. I know some HTML so I got everything on my test board working for the most part except one half of the statistics column. Is there an easier way to make this compatable to adding hacks?

First question: There's a certain acronym I could use here, but I won't. Suffice it to say, if you'd followed the directions in the readme, the active topics link would still be there.

Second question: What you do with other hacks is your business. CH2 and it's XHTML base make major changes to every public template file, and as such it is not particularly friendly with the point-and-click, instant gratification hacking style most people use. If you want it to cooperate with your other hacks, it's up to you to make it work.

---Jamin

Can someone repost this mod.....seems the links are dead!

yes please

Read the about post in this forum. I am hosting this on my server till his stuff is all fixed.
