Nice hack, Is it final?

hi ely,

can we see a demo ? couldn´t find a ubb at perl.com ...

code looks well - but unfortunality that´s no evidence

marvin

Yes a ... Demo i want!

it's a mostly control panel modification, would be difficult for a demo, I am gonna try it out tonight and see how we do, if it works well, we'll add it to our database.

Thanks Ely...

works really well, nice work ELY!

a couple of minor suggestions:

- change the instructions to this:

that way the text for the link won't some ugly mess

- use the vars_wordlets_mods file instead of the vars_wordlets file so we won't have to update so much when we do minor ubb upgrade patches...

demo:
https://www.ubbdev.com/db/cgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=newtopic&f=20

- you prolly won't be able to see this since you have to be authorized to post new in there, but it installs in ~20 min and works.

Hmmmm, I'm trying to incorporate this hack, but I can't find this in cp_lib.cgi:

print FILE qq!stringLengthLimit => q~$stringLengthLimit~,n!;

or this in cp_vars_misc.pl:

$vars_misc{stringLengthLimit} = 180 unless $vars_misc{stringLengthLimit};

I'm using UBB 6.04... was this part of another hack? Or am I just missing it after about four tries?

That's in the latest version(s) .04b/.04c

Can you make a new description for the UBB Version 6.0? Please Please? but I can't find this:
etc. etc....

Thx

SkipperII

yes....i'm using 6.03 and don't have those lines....can you issue an update?

This is the update...;) You guys are the ones using old software...:)

Well okay, even without the help, I got it to work on UBB 6.04, but there is a bug on this script:

1.) The way this script works is that it gives a jscript pop-up window with a set height and width that is not resizable (much like the upload hack for UBB5). The problem here is that this pop-up window uses the UBB header and footer information - which means you get scrollbars galore if you have a header that uses a long titlebar and a left menubar.

Click here to see what it looks like

I looked at the upload.cgi file and there are several instances of $Header and $Footer info being included. Why can't it be like the UBB5 upload hack that just uses a simple pop-up window with the pertinent upload information? Might wanna look into that.

And since this hack is obviously documented ONLY for 6.04b and 6.04c, I'd update the documentation to reflect that fact, unless you'd wanna make the extra effort to include updated documentation that will benefit those of us who are not willing to rehack their boards everytime Infopop issues an update (which is every week).

I'd love to use the hack, and I can probably modify it to suit my needs, but as it stands right now, it won't do me any good out of the box. Anyway, that's my two cents.

Good job anywayz...

which attributes for upload_form.cgi?
always when i want to upload a savegame error 500 appears.

i dont know what to do

Thanks to the guy with open tech forums.

I have an idea.

I will make another CP hack for user to choose if they want to have header and footer included in a window or exclude them.

try to chmmod it to 777.

Can anyone make a new description for the UBB Version 6.0? Please Please? Need Help!

i am running 6.04 and i coudn't find 3 of the files and most of the lines the instutions talk about !!!! i have installed 4 mods in my board now but i carnt make heads or tails out of this one!!!

i have tried but all i get is problems

any ideas????

Hey Mikey...

I guess we need to wait for ELY_M to do some updates the hack, and maybe add some "possible" documentation for 6.04 and lower...

The coding you are looking for is not in the older versions of ubb, but if you look, you will see where it needs to go, the coding is very similar, it just needs to go in the group. The code you are trying to find is additional coding added to .04b and .04c...

If you use a file compare program like beyond compare, to compare the files in .04c to your present code, you'll see exactly where this code needs to go... be resourceful, don't have ELY stop developing new stuff to find your code for you...

That's what I did, which is why I got it to work on 6.04. What I really meant was to update ELY's documentation to say that the actual instructions are only good for 6.04b/6.04c and above, not 6.0 as was written in the present documentation (which is wrong and misleading).

This will save the code hacker a lot of headaches, as well as provide an instant diclaimer. Being resourceful is one thing - being misleading is another.

Besides, I'm eagerly awaiting ELY's update on the hack to have the option of not including headers and footers...

And a moderator may wanna move this topic to the V6 Beta Mods forum...

I think we'll start a new one there to give it a proper start... description, link, etc... it'll include the proper caveats like you mention CL... I'll post back here this evening when I open it and point from here to there....

done
