UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.2x] UBB™ Thinking Clock

Don't change *anything*, I want to see what's the problem.

nevermind

anybody knows how to change it so it'll appear like in www.netwerkin.org/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi ?

You mean in an input box? The best way to do it is instead of %%STUFF%% in the Wordlets, add . That's not so efficient, but changing the code might cause problems.

Yeah i want it in an input box, if i'll change that in the wordlet it'll do it like on netwerkin?
or i need to change stuff in the code too?

It should look the same (except the background color, but you can add 'style="background-color: #color"' or something like that into the tag), however Netwerkin uses a better code because they modified templates... But with Wordlets you can change it back/to something else from the CP, so I suggest you to change it there...

I dont have the file fadr.js
where can i get it????

It's only if you have News Fader, if you don't, ignore that step.

Hm...got it! but where can i find this hack? i saw your ubb and i really liked it

It's still not working on my page. When I view the html source, what's happening is that the script for the clock is in the body section, rather than the head. How can I put it in the right place?

Hm...got it! But where can i find this hack anyway? i saw your forum and i really liked it!

I'm having a odd problem. Installed the hack and it seems to display and work fine. (6.2.1 beta 1) However, the display shows 'My time' and 'Board time' to be exactly 12 hours apart (AM vs. PM) The time on both the workstation and the server are set correctly to the current time, but still the AM/PM switcheroo.

I went to the server and changed the system time to AM from PM and cleared cache but the problem persists. I'm thinking I hacked it wrong, now.

Any help is appreciated. This one's a real noodle scratcher for me...

You set GMT offset to 6... Shouldn't it be -6?

LK, this is a great hack. I want the output right under the login/logout but it's now in it's own table.

www.cyberty.nl

How can i do this?

The GMT offset on our board isn't correct i guess.

You set GMT offset to 6... Shouldn't it be -6?

Yes, it should. I read the post about not needing the '+' sign in front of positive offsets and naturally assumed that you wouldn't need a '-' sign for negative ones either.

Some days I think I should get checked by a doctor....

Thanks for the help,

Dirk

Anyway I can add more than 2 times? I.E try to make my own modification for private use? Do I just have to add the (for example:)

CP_VARS_TIME:

&RegField("Australian Time Zone Offset", "AUSOffset", "", "3", "4", "Same as above, but the offset from AUS. Used in UBB Thinking Clock.", "$vars_time{AusOffset}");

CP_LIB:

my $AUSOffset = &SmallClean($in{AUSOffset});

and

'AUSOffset' => $AUSOffset,

VARS_WORDLET_MODS:

'time_localboard' => "Your Time: %%USERTIME%%. Board's Time: %%SERVERTIME%%. Australian Time: %%AUSTIME%%",

But I have no idea what to do with Public Topic Page, if infacxt, the above is correct....

Any help? Or is that so far right? I'm a newbie, help appreciated....

No need for it.

I don't understand..... do you mean YOU think there is no need for it? Or there actually isn;t any use for it?

Because regardless of YOUR choice, I don't wish to be cheeky, its great hack, but I'd wish for a few more times on it...... so everyone know what time it is in a certain place, being the topic of my test forums, its pretty essential I have this, if you can;t help me, fine, just say.

Thanks for any further help, C.

I mean there is no need to hack cp_vars_time.pl and cp_lib.cgi. Australian Time == always +10, regardless of the server time.

So how do I add it as well as the other times? You see LK, what I mean by my private addon, is try to replicate kind of World time hack, so there is various times. Not just the ones included/can be shown. I.E. the third world countries etc.

Sorry if I sounded a bit stressed over last post....kinda had a bad day, sorry mate

Like instead of:Or something like that...

where do i get news fader?

LK, I'm having a problem with the multhack version. I'm trying to install it on a 6.2.1 board, but when I analyze it, it gives an error for the file cp_vars_time.pl. Do you know whats wrong?

Oops, updated

Heh, mine didn't show up..
I was getting a little error on the HTML page (page showed, though) and I installed via TXT and Multihack. I have installed News Fader..

Any ideas?

I redownloaded it, but I still get the same error.

I have the same problem, and I've isolated it to the fact that the "onload" portion isn't showing up in the html code. Could you please check this portion of the modification:

ubb_forum_summary.cgi - the modifications to that file

Because that's where I believe there is an error.

URLs?

I removed it from my board cause it was a big ugly table, but the "onload" portion did not appear in the html source after the background color, font color, etc. as it was supposed to. The javascript portion was fine, but it did not load.

Ellen did you go into the cp to Date & Time Settings and set the GMT Time Zone Offset?

installed without a hitch.

I would also like to know how to modify the layout so that i can display each time within different cells of a table.

If thats not clear take a look at my home page. I want to left align "Your Time" and Right Align "PTCO Time"

Ive attempted to insert the necessary html directly into the mod wordlet but it generates the errors with the lightbulb javascript so many people seem to have trouble with.

Although I do have News Fader installed, I would like to use the ubb_forum_summary.cgi approach, rather than the fader.js approach.

Now, I did try it.. But, it didn't work. And that's probably the very reason why you give the 2 different approaches. Unfortunately, my understanding of why.. is zero. Thus, the silly question.

Why do I want something so silly? Quiet a few of our users use Netscape or Opera. And fader.js does not load/run in either of those browsers and, of course, the clock doesn't load either.

Thanks..

I think newsfader works in Opera/Netscape, and if it doesn't, so you can either make your whole site work with Opera - remove newsfader, or make it not work with Opera - leave newsfader/ubb thinking clock alone.

Thanks LK.. (I think).

Fader does work? May I PM you on this?

News Fader works -> fader.js works -> this hack works

No trouble, you should post if you got a problem

I'm only saying that it should work if you'll install with fader.js, and if it doesn't, gimme the URL with both newsfader and ubbthinkingclcok and I'll try to use Mozilla on it.

OK, thanks..

Here's the URL http://www.morelerbe.com/cgi-bin/ubb-cgi/ultimatebb.cgi

Users using almost any browser, except MSIE, have reported actual errors with fader.js.

Got your first MSIE report Your fader.js doesn't seem to be hacked
