Hello - I have been trying to get some mods working, I have got the Avatar on up and running, however when I get done with the install/configeration in the CP for Whos Online, I get this message when I enter the forum:

An error has occured:

Error .. Who's Online Variables must be updated.

Please inform the board administration of this error so that they may fix the problem. Thank you!

The vars_whos_online.cgi only has a 1; in it. Which is what I read to do here - any ideas?

Thanks in advance

I did that actually. Infact - I went to check the "vars_whos_online.cgi" file - and it is STILL empty - however when I do click the button it says "Who's Online Settings Saved"

But - it doesnt smile

I also noticed that the Wordlet Mod page in the CP wordlet edit area is blank... Any thoughts?

Actually could someone post the contents of there vars_whos_online.cgi with data in it so I could just edit by hand for now?

Thanks!

Ok, after playing with it for a while - it did actually write to the file (BTW - It is a win2k box)

However - that turned out not to be the problem.

Here is where its getting stuck: (ubb_whos_online.cgi)

# version check for WOL
if ($vars_whos_online{version} ne $wolversion) {
&StandardHTML2("Error .. Who's Online Variables must be updated.");
exit(0);
}

Infact - playing with it a little - $vars_whos_online{version} turns out to be an empty variable - hence why I get the error - but why would that be emtpy?

Here is a snipet from the ultimatebb.cgi where I believe it grabs the vars:

use strict;
use Fcntl ':flock';
use UBBCGI qw(:cgi); # CGIPath/Modules/UBBCGI.pm
use UBBCGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser set_message); # CGIPath/Modules/UBBCGI/Carp.pm
use vars qw(%vars_wordlets_mods);
use vars qw(%vars_whos_online @Ell_cookie $invisible_pref @people);
use vars qw($ULTIMATEBB $filehandle %vars_style_reference $trademark $trade
$InfopopCopyright
%weights
$version
$version_number
$masterCharset
$release_j
%GotTime
$template
$vars_graemlins
%template
... etc

I have tried puting it all in one "use var" statment, but I get the same results (I am not to familiar with perl smile

Go to your control panel and update your Who's Online Settings. If it still doesn't work, then you have a old version of cp_whos_online.cgi and must re-upload *_whos_online.cgi from the ZIP file.

Hello and thanks for the reply, I did grab the right file, and Looking at the config for whos online, the version number does match, its just not reading it from the list.. Do you have any Ideas?

Do you think it has something to do with the Wordlet Mod not working either?
