UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 Mod Questions Hello, Username [Logout]

Ive made a small hack that will add the -->
Hello, username [logout]
* same as on the version 6 ubb

If you like have a look at it on my site , click on any forum and it will be on the top left side of teh screen.

If anyone wants to know how to do it, let me know and ill post the code.

Few people have been interested. Post it in the V5 Mods forum.

Sure I''l swipe it
I got one running now but I dunno if I did it right..

Thanks

I tried getting to your site Metal but it seems to be down.

yeah I know, its been down since Friday night.
I have no clue why..
I guess, all of us clients are a little pissed right now.

Have any idea when it will be back up?

Dunno , the office is closed for the weekend and the last time this happened the site was wiped out

Lets hope that doesn't happen.
I just wanna see the version you have of this on your forum.

Well my hosting called me today and told me what was up...
Their currently changing servers and should be back up any day.
All will be restored

Well thats great!

Hi I am trying to install this LOGOUT hack on 5.47e ubb. However, it does not seem to work with the PM hack. That is, say if a user logs in and then checks out his messages (PM), then I want a URL that'll say "LOGOUT" in the PM window, and that should clear the cookies etc. so that nobody else is able to view the messages (should the user leave the pc online).

Which hack are you talking about BassTEQ ? I'd really like this logout hack to work with the PM hack. Any tips would be appreciated a lot.

Thanks in adv!

Ok, have a look on my site, link in the first post. See in the top right corner where all the options are it says either Login or Logout.
If you're new then it will say login, Click it and you'll see what the hack does.
Then what I have done is create something similar to UBB v6 Series, and when u click a forum you'll see your username with an option to logout.

I know what it does. Can you please post the code?

Yeah post the code in the v.5 mods Bassteq
Thanks.

Also, what versions will it work on?

This is what I did:

First I installed, Dave Downin login hack.
http://www.arlo.net/ubb/hacks/login-install.txt

in forumdisplay.cgi

find:
--------------------------------------------------
sub TopicTopHTML {
--------------------------------------------------
Step #1
add under:
--------------------------------------------------
&get_cookie;
if ($cookie{UserName}) {
$LoginText = qq($cookie{'UserName'} [ logout ]

I only added it to the forumdisplay, and active.cgi right now.
But all you have to do is add step #1 somewhere in your code, adding step #2 is easy

oh yeah do the same in ultimate.cgi

Do we need the login hack installed for this to work?

Yes if you want the [login] to work.
If you just want the menubar remove the Step #1 and $logintext from step #2

I already installed the hack from ARLO.net previously but it does not work with PM hack. That is, if you are logged in and checked your PM, and then press LOGOUT using the hack, then one can still log in upon returning to the board w/o entering password.... so I don't even know if the hack from ARLO.net is working correctly or not.

Any suggestions?

Ok thanks for the code. I'll test it now.

svr, if people are cookied it will not log 'em out. I use this hack for design
But, when I delete my cookies the login and out works great.

Yes I know of that problem with the Login/Logout hack. It's a pitty it doesn't work unless cookies are disabled.

thats ok, it works great for peepers and non-cookied members.
Plus it adds some spice to your site
Ya think I sure write it up, so people can add the hack to their sites ?

Yeah thats a great idea. I reccomend you do it. Just doc the code.

Done http://www.Metallifukinca.com/HelloUsername.txt
Enjoy
