Well, i got it working.... finally.....

I have a suggestion.... is there any way you could make it so that if you have headlines view enabled, and there are NO active topics, a message shows that there are no active topics? As of now, it just shows a blank screen..

thanks again! great hack!

JM,

"hey
yea the reason for this is i mean theres no ue if having ppl view a white bg list of topics you know
well thats whayt i though
its meant for ssi!
"

You're not making any sense lad =)

Most use the SSI output as a 'brief' summary of what's new on the forums and in no way as a replacement for 'Active Topics' itself.

Believe it or not you want the full active topics display in the forum and the brief summary list via SSI.

At least with the old UBB5 version you could keep the normal Active Topics and just add the file so you could output any number of SSI streams and formats (more Active.cgi file copies) and not affect the main Active Topics display. This is why so few people have used it, I found my readers complained because you could only have one or the other – not both.

Hello,

I installed the Active Topics Hack Today and now i have something very strange going on ...

I get some empty posts in it and i have no idea where they come from ...

I can't find an empty message either ... anyone a clue ?

Even if the message was deleted (i doubt it because only mod's may delete) it shouldn't show up i guess ...

I cleared the cache and rebuild the index but to no avail ....

Basically there needs to be a version where you just print the active topics to an HTML file and then use SSI to call that file. Then you can use it on your site somewhere. Obviously you should be able to set that limit to whatever you want, like 5 topics, I doubt you want EVERY active topic printed on your page somewhere. This should be pretty easy to implement I would think.

Yeah that'd be good and don't forget those of us wanting to have an active topics external output, but also wanting the usual 'forum active topics' output on the main forum page as well.

How do you make the active topic to display active topics of a specific forum?

the mod is great when it comes to modifing the look/feel of the Todays Active Topics page but Has anyone gotten one that will allow me to pull the page via ssi type calls for display outside of the forums? I know that when I turn on in the control panel it throws everything out of whack. Could this code be modified (by someone that knows the coding good) to simply add a seperate .cgi file that does this?

Anyone?

If you enable headlines (see the docs with the file) then that lets you output by SSI, sadly it stupidly turns off the Active Topics for the forum itself.

Been asking JM to give the script more flexibility in this area for weeks and weeks, no change =(.

i encountered a minor bug.

first soory for my ignorance, re-read the whole thread very quick, so if this is mentioned before delete my post or whatever and forgive me...

if a topic has only one (1) reply so far, and you click on the "view last reply of this thread" link, it shows you the last reply of the next newer topic, the topic above...

JM,

I know that much like myself you detest the idea of having to continually upgrade the forum and thus re-install all the hacks etc. However, will you be updating AT to work with 6.04a since I've now found so many bugs with 6.01 that I've got no choice but to upgrade.

6.04a doesn't seem to work with AT =(, or at the very least that's what everybody says.

Webdaddie,
The error that you described it a know error for that release and has a patch. Active Topic 1.8d will work on 6.04 and above after the path is applied. Don't go with 6.04 for 6.04d is really 6.04.

Okay, thanks. I will keep my eye open for the patch. Question, I'm having trouble with the colors on the index.html If you or anyone wishes to look at it go here INDEX

I need help changing the link colors etc. Is this done using my HTML editor or Style Settings in control panel?

"Error processing SSI file '/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=active_topics'"
can someone help me out here ? ? ?

1. how the h. do i include it if the url is on another server / virtualpath?

2. why isn't it showing on the forum? (yes i did a cache clear) (maybe news-fader comatibility problem?)

Thank you.

Damn, I also see that when you install this mod and modify ultimatebb.cgi you can't use the whos online mod because the topics mod.
Has anyone tried using the mod with whos online?

I have to mess around with it to see what's what here with the different ubb builds. I have not tried it with 6.04b yet. I tired it with 6.04 and it didn't work. It will indeed work with 6.0 sofar. I'm going to upgrade to 6.04a or b to see if it will also work.

This hack doesn't seem to work for 6.04c. I just upgraded the board with no hacks once so ever and tried to add the hack and the part where it's supposed to say:
>Today's Active Topics< didn't come up so I just re-uploaded my backups for now unltill you figure out what the problem is. If anyone is getting this to work for 6.04c please post because maybe I just did somthing wrong.
