UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.0x] Glowing Names - Status Based, CP Controls, Style Based

Webdaddie, I downloaded and installed 6.04c last night and mine looks normal, just like Freakscene's. You might have gotten a corrupt download or something.

You say you're getting the same error. Same error as whom? What error specifically are you getting?

At first, I got this error.

But as of still now I'm getting this error

Missing right bracket at /data1/va/repomann/cgi-bin/ubb/Templates/cp_common.pl line 698, at end of line syntax error at /data1/va/repomann/cgi-bin/ubb/Templates/cp_common.pl line 698, at EOF

Please help! in cp i get this error

Content-type: text/html
Software error:
Undefined subroutine &main::StrengthRow called at /home/clean/clean-www/ubb/Templates/cp_vars_style.pl line 38.
For help, please send mail to the webmaster giving this error message and the time and date of the error.


when i try to goto styles then into the style

Webdaddie, I downloaded your file and will take a look at it. But I suggest you edit your post and remove the link, you can get in trouble for posting UBB code, just FYI

Mr. Clean. I'm working on that exact same error with someone else, but have yet to find the problem. I'm waiting for a reply from him on a couple of things right now.

For the people getting the error where it says that there's a missing bracket, I just looked through the documentation and think I found the error. The error was in the instructions if you did not have Hypercells by Freakscene installed. I'm fixing the doc right now.

# In cp_common.pl find:

sub StrengthRow {

# Above that add:
}

#So it will look like:
}
}
sub StrengthRow {


### Updated to clarify thanks to Webdaddie

Okay I'm looking at the orignal doc now for cp_common.pl the right bracket is in there already. Even before you updated your doc. Should it be maybe 2 right brackets?

Update your doc file again
Okay!, that was the ticket!
It works fine now once you install that 2nd right bracket

I got a slightly different error this morning. Then I saw the new posts here, but it was a different error, but I tried it anyway. Then it told me I had too many brackets. So that didn't work. Anyway, this is my error:

I've been looking around using the "bugging template" you've provided with the other error, but to no avail. I'll continue to look though. Let me know if any of you come up with a solution sooner. Better chance of that since I'm still learning.


Thanks.

Tard here.

I added the part that is says to add if you already have HyperCells. Well, I do, but I guess I don't have the latest version or something. I noticed I was missing the radiofieldhyp subroutine, so I went searching for it in the install instructions. Well, it was under the "copy if you don't have hypercells" part. Go figure. Another crisis diverted. Okay, I'm done talking to myself now.

Update your doc file again
Okay!, that was the ticket!
It works fine now once you install that 2nd right bracket

Webdaddie, sorry I wasn't clear. That's what I meant, to add a 2nd right curly bracket. I should have said that after you add the curly bracket you should have two If you look at the doc, I did update it to have two curly brackets already. Thanks for helping me find that everyone

I did update my "fix" post though so it makes more sense. Thanks Webdaddie.

"GLAD I COULD HELP!"

I made all the changes did it all perfect changed it in style settings to make mod and admins glow red at No5 strength..

Cleared the cache AND......

No Glowing Names!!

Do you have any Idea what could be wrong???

what browser you using?

Was Using Netscape Communicator Then noticed you had to use Internet Explorer so I have been using Internet Explorer Now and It wasnt working still....

I need a link to your site if possible. After that, I will need to look at your files to see what's wrong. The first two to look at are the style variable file for the style that has this on it, and the public_topic_page.pl file.

Um ok site here .....

I'm seeing Blue glowing names on your test message. What version of IE are you using? Maybe it only works on certain versions. I posted with the member name you gave me and didn't see a glow on it, but admin names are glowing.

Bahh!!

Im using IE 5.0 Mac version....

Um not sure if it doesnt work for mac but it should......

Well thats sweet this is my first hack install to

Glad I went well ......

Thanks for verifying it then mate

Do you reckon it will help If i get the newest version of IE or go back to an older version ?

I'll see if I can find a macintosh around here to test on. A newer version could always help, but I'm pretty sure other people have gotten glow effects on IE 5, and I doubt they changed their html compatibility between platforms, but it's Microsoft, who knows

Thanks Mate Your a champ

Yeah, this is really cool!

Just a bit of help, if you would.

With Al Bundy's MegaMod hack, how do I make it so that MegaMod's get their own glow just like Admins, Mods and Members do ?? I could try to hack it so that they can, but would probably ruin it.

Also, can I use this hack as well as Jimbo's Member Titles hack ?

I haven't used either hack, so I'll have to take a look at them and get back to you. This is finals week for me, so it could take a while. If you don't hear anything in a few days, post again and it will hit me with an email as a reminder

This tag works only with IE ramirez, netscape display the glowing effekt not. that´s normal. For your testfile hehe..

iS THERE A *.shw FOR THIS YET

No, I've never done any .shw stuff. If someone wants to make one they are more than welcome

I used to have a hack on UBB v5 where instead of an icon for a user's profile, you could just click on their name for their profile (and the icon shown in the icon row is not shown, since the way to get a user's profile is to click on their name).

I was thinking of using this hack, but it also seems the perfect place to implement this. How hard would it be to add code to this so that in addition to glowing or not (no matter what status a user name is), you can also click on the PDN to see their profile?

It actually shouldn't be that hard. I need to see the code for creating the profile link, and just add it to the code that creates the name HTML code. I'm not at home, so I can't look through the code to say for certain. I'll try to remember to look at it when I get home later this week.

Is there anyway making this like the one for 5x. It would be real nice if you can make the font and glow option and the strenght options available individually in each members profile.. That'd be nice.. Is it possible?

Well, I made this pretty much the way I wanted to use it on our boards. I wanted to be able to control the colors to make it fit the color scheme, and also keep the glows from being too big. Also, with 7000 members, managing people that pick really obnoxious colors is a pain. It might be possible to do what you want, but it would be a completely different hack. This hack stores the settings in the style variables file, whereas what you want would have to use each individual member file. I might look at this in the future, but I don't have the time to do it right now, sorry

Anyone is welcome to use the code to develop a different version though.

Well, this hasn't had any problems in a while, so I guess I'll declare it finished. I've got shw and mhk files, but I need to go back over them since the shw was missing one step.

sigh.... Fixed my own idiocy.... forget about this post...
