Note: This is beta code, I haven't checked it yet, so expect a bug or 2. Let me know what you find and I'll update the zip.

I was 'fraid those guys from the other thread were gonna do something rash, like jump out of a building or something, if you didn't get this out. Oh well, they're safe now. Thanks for updating it, Allen. Mine are almost ready to be released too...

---Jamin

that i am looking forward to

I think we saved a few lives with the release, which is why I stayed on it until....

Thanks doctor
lets try it now.

If you give it a try, please post a link so I can see the results... would make it much easier to fix any remaining buglets

well, it works perfect!

exept the point that you have to edit all template hacking of previous hack again...

THnx for the great work

Good job!

But:
1. public_common.pl's MainButtonLine doesn't have active topics, and there is no advice to change its wording to 'active topics'.
2. the old hack had instructions to replace something in ubb_forum_summary.cgi.

and I wouldn't mind a css version
(note I see that the same css files can also be used on threads )

niiiiiice.

one question / buggie thing (in addition to the active topics and/or instructions.txt thing)

here's my page: http://robkamphausen.com/cgi-bin/test/testcgi/ultimatebb.cgi

i dont get any 'show topics from last __,__,__ days' option.

is that a problem on my end?

In public_forum_page,
Find:

quote:

my $this_html = qq~

That was something not included in the original compact headers, it was something I added a bit later. I'll update the zips for it..

We'll be releasing those as well Chuck, it's just a matter of time involved in packaging the files correctly with all final 6.3 fixes.

loooooook aaaaaat meeeeeeeeeee!!! :-D

thanks, lk, that fixed!

ok, here's a few more 'beefs':

1) still no active topics (tho i think i remember from way back that involves somethin diff'rent)

2) there're no new topic / reply buttons atop the topic pages like here (they're just at the bottom)

3) on the forum summary, the 'reg members' and 'welcome' lines appear atop one another, instead of aside one another.

thats alls i gots fer now, i think

drk,

1) read my 1) in my first post
3) read my 2) in my first post

BTW, demo with all fixes: www.lkubb.dns2go.com/?ubb=forum;f=8

zip file updated with fixes in public_forum_page and public_topic_page

Rob, if you can post a link to what you are seeing, I'll look at it

Not updated here

Anyhow, try: http://www.lkubb.dns2go.com/allen/compact.zip - just, again, use the txt instructions from the old ch.

here's my NEW page to view:
http://www.robkamphausen.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

(the old one i linked to earlier in this thread is no longer useful!!)

the issues that lk and i posted are still coming up -- but i havent tried lk's new zip, above -- ill do that later tonight and report back.

bottom line, tho, things are lookin guh-reat!!!

excellent work!!

other quick points.

on THIS page...

(and please, feel free to disregard the actual thread content... i beg of you!)

the top area of CH seems to stretch beyond the actual thread discussion (my boards are set at 85% widht, i think).

its because of that big, hankerin title:
Rob's Damn Board » .::Important::. » *off topic / offensive posts* » Super Mario Bros is a pretty bizarre concept if you think about it

is there anyway that long titles such as these could wrap (right aligned) instead of stetchin out the page?

(also at the top, you can note the lack of 'reply' or 'new topic' buttons, double a!)

additionally, scrolling down at the bottom of that same page (again, avoid the horrible, horrible content) the printer friendly/ hop to line seems to not be aligned with the rest of the page. (image is broken cuz im lazy, dont worry about that).

ok -- now im REALLY leaving

Any chance of getting regular instructions on this one? If i install this, then alot of the 40 some odd scripts that i already have on my board will have to be rehacked............ Anyone, please?

No, it's too many steps, would be easier to use beyond compare to add all hacks back (that's what I did! )

Bah, ok guess i will not be using this hack. Thanks though

DS, check out the Beyond Compare article in the last issue of the u-zine... https://ubbdev.com/ you can BC the differences into your modified files fairly easily

Thanks dude, this looks like it will help out alot.

everything lookin and workin smooth now! thanks lk and double a!

Great topic
(odd custom status )

Anyway... What was I going to say? Damn, forgot . It'll come back to me .

quick bit:

can someone post the changes needed in the ubb_forum_summary.cgi file (in order to get the reg mem total and welcome tag to appear on one line, instead of broken on to two)

thanks!

Find:
local ($file_name, $RegisteredMemberLine, @CATEGORIES, @sortedforums, @pntf_locations);
Replace with:
local ($file_name, $RegisteredMemberLine, @CATEGORIES, @sortedforums, @pntf_locations, $RegisteredMemberLine2);
Find:
if ($RegisteredMemberLine ne '') { $RegisteredMemberLine .=$vars_config{'jc'}->{'regmemlinesep'}}
$RegisteredMemberLine .= qq!$vars_wordlets{new_member_welcome} {'titlebarclass'}>$newbie[0]!;
Replace with:
$RegisteredMemberLine2 = qq!$vars_wordlets{new_member_welcome} {'titlebarclass'}>$newbie[0]!;

excellent!!

thanks LK - works perfectly.

and just so those in the future know, this is something that you'd have to do in addition to adding the compact headers, if you want the 'registered member' line atop the forum summary to be one line and not two. CH will NOT do this on its own.

Will this be updated for v6.3.0.1?

Probably not, most likey we'll wait for 6.3.1, as it will be out fairly soon. I'd check the list of files changed:
http://community.infopop.net/2/Open...313&m=8353044775&r=8883064975#8883064975

and use Beyond Compare to add the differences from the template files changed back into your files.

hi im having some trouble with this hack..
it seems that there's a missing colspan on public_topic_page because im getting a big black strip on right right side..
take a look at: http://basementman.ppnhost.ws/cgi-bin/UBB/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=000068

hmm i fixed it.. but for some reason i had to change

yep -basement- I had to do the same.

thanks for the headsup.. I'll go over the files again.

i get an error on my main page
i have no clue how to solve it

also when viewing a topic

this lines "all times are" and "printer-friendly" are mis-aligned

http://forums.balooshy.com

i used this on a fresh 6.3 install and it still has mistakes and errors in it

has anyone succesfully corrected all errors and bugs in it and can send me updated files?

Use the above modification posted by -basement-

It works then

dennis, it's not only about the part that basement fixed

there are alot of mis alignment issues in this mod

and alot of tables need fixing

thats why i was asking anyone who has this up and running and not having same issue could update us

Well I installed mine first fresh on a 6.3.0 board and after the minor column adjustment it works perfectly.

Well, I got also Problems on 6.3.0.1 with the alignment of the printer and time which is printed on each topic page.

Do I have to edit public_topic_page.pl ? I tried that (editing a new table around it with width="$vars_style{TableWidth}) but that didn´t work...
