50 bucks isn't that expensive, I think...

[ June 02, 2001 01:16 AM: Message edited by: LK ]

-- hey -- i am very very cheap .. nearly didnt buy a UBB but they were cheap back then a one year license for 90$ now they are like 250$ something .. 50$ isnt to bad but thats ok i dont really need a chat on my website at the moment maybe if i get some more money then..

Oops, I uploaded the wrong .MHP
Redownload it.

wow ... great hack! now about that $50.00 registrant fee ...

Okay, perhaps it's because I'm exhausted because I was up forever last night installing multiple hacks (one of which I created), but how the heck do you modify the title bar color of chat on the main forum summary page at http://www.seibertron.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi ? I thought the control panel would do it, but it doesn't seem to. I want it to match the color of the rest of the title bars. Thanks in advance!

Seibertron, every parameter that exists is configurable from the CP.

Try Title Background Color and TitleForegroundColor

I know I most likely don't have all my facts right and such but I have an IRC channel and I would like it so instead of using that jpilot stuff you could find another way of joining into that channel AND not having that annoying unregistered stuff. I want something where you just click the link that says chat here and it brings you to the page and instead of jpilot it opens some other program or window that has the IRC channel that the Administrator specified. The people who connect to the channel uses mIRC and the people who used the UBB Chat should be able to interact and if they have server op powers or such should be able to use them. In summary I just want a way to talk in the IRC channel without opening up IRC. And none of this made sense and i'm just babbling on and on an...

Ok, next question: the main forum summary page says that no one is in the chat room, but there's three of us in there currently. I refreshed the page and played around with it some, but it won't display. Suggestions? Help?

Seiberton, it doesn't take the information from the applet, it takes it from Who's Online.
Open Who's Online page and the main page at the same time. Is it different?

My chat is trying to smile, it accepts the filterkeys string but it doesn't seem to be finding the assigned filtervals. It's just ignoring the smiley input and printing nothing to the screen. Is it just not finding those .gif files? If so, where is that defined?

This is a awesome hack, it's hard to believe this is your first. I sometimes go into the chat just to hang around, but it's getting kinda' boring with no smilies.

Steel String, URL?
It works by (noncgi dir's URL), so put all smilies there, like https://www.ubbdev.com/ubb/smile.gif.

Oddly enough, I was only having problems with the first 3. ( ) Turns out it was browser cache, I rebooted and there they were. This is a spectacular mod, many many thanks! Now, about that user ping...

Do any of you guys know how to change your username's passwords in the chat? I know you don't offer support for the jpilot software, I was just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks!!! I'll be in chat most of the day at http://www.seibertron.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=chat

ZIP File updated with instructions for Who's Online 3.9qa.

Rehack: ultimatebb.cgi, ubb_whos_online.cgi

how do you make it so that everytime an admin enters he becomes a chatroom operator?.. kuz for me its whoever enters the room first becomes the operator.. then if the admin enters he's just a regular member.. the person whoever enterd first can kick even the admins out. that kinda sux... i want power!!

ruph, if you're still using DALnet:

Type: /nickserv register password email (password = a password you WON'T forget, Email = the REAL one),
Then type /chanserv register #channel password description (#channel = your channel's name, like #LK, password = a password you WON'T forget, may be another one than your nick's, description = what is your forums about).

Then tell an Admin/Moderator to register the nick aswell, /nickserv register password real-email, and you'll type /chanserv aop #channel add admin-or-mod's-nick

Example:

[*]/nickserv register LKRulesEarth [email protected]

[*]/chanserv register #LK LKForumsRule LK's Forum's Chatroom

[*](Other Admins/Mods should do:) /nickserv register AnOtherPassword [email protected]

[*]/chanserv aop #LK add Bah (Bah = other mod's nick in this case)

Now the admins should type /nickserv identify password, like /nickserv identify AnOtherPassword in this case, and /chanserv op #channel theirnick, like /chanserv op #LK Bah in this case.

If it's not clear enough, Gimme your chat's details and I'll meet you there.

Just an observation dont know if there is anything to help. I have done the hack many times. It works great but the who's online does not work. It says no one is in the chat. i can leave chat with people and reload who's online and it never says anyone is there. I did the 3.9a upgrade chat whos online etc.

after upgrading whos online to 3.9 redownload the zip again and rehack ultimatebb.cgi and ubb_whos_online.cgi in the chat doc..

I have done that. It works when you start chatting. However after someone is in chat for a while it drops them alltogether off the who's online. This is more of a bug than anything else.

omegatron, Who's Online drops inactive users after some time you choose. The info in the first page isn't taken from the applet, it's taken from Who's Online, and Who's Online can't know when a person leaves the UBB, so if he doesn't reload the page/change it in some time you choose in the CP, he's been removed from the list.
You can't see yourself there, because when you check the Main Page/Who's Online you'll be "Viewing: Main Page" or "Checking: Who's Online".

I hope you got what I mean. If anybody has any idea how to improve it, I'll appreciate your help.


LK.

after I upgraded to whosonline 3.9 I get this error as soon as I press the link of the chat
Software error:
Undefined subroutine &main::WriteUserSession called at /home/virtual/mydomain.ru/html/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi line 368.

the script there is
#print header(-cookie=>[$cookie1, $cookie2, $cookie3]);
print header(
-cookie=>[$cookie1, $cookie2, $cookie3],
-charset => "$masterCharset");

} else {
#line 368
unless (($ubb eq 'submit_registration') || ($ubb eq 'edit_profile')) {

any ideas

Dreamer, I go the exact same problem. But I was installing a fesh copy of this chat and whos online. (I am making whos online invisible on my board, because I don't want it to show up, but I want the # of people in the chat to show up correctly.

Are you sure thant is line 368 in your script?

This is what you are supposed to add to part of your ultimatebb.cgi script. (This is what I added and I got the same error message as you. So I commented out 368 and the chat ran fine, but the info about the user being in the chat didn't show up in whos online.)


Commenting it out is lame because I want the person to appear in the whos online script so the # of people in the chat is correct.

So I tried this...


That allowed the chat to show up just fine. But for some reason no one is appearing in the whos online for the chat area. (Although, whos online is working great for the other parts of my board.) I am aware that if I go to the whos online page it will take my name from the chat section. So I have tried it with two seperate browsers (ie vs. netscape) with two seperate usernames. But this seems to also cause some weird things.

Any idea why whos online is not picking up on the chat area? Maybe there was a change in the coding for whos online since this chat scripts was made?

You're supposed to do this:

If you want the numbers to appear, open ubb_whos_online.cgi and do this:

All these instructions are in the latest version of chat mod (06-05-01).

so LK if I do this will my problem be solved ?

Yep

Question. I already have a chat on MIRC so would there be a way to have this hack created with the chat I have already or would I just have to use this one?

The channels/servers here are just like in mIRC, so just type in the CP the servers and channel.

fixed
Thanks LK & armond

How would I go about uploading the zip files and the audio files to another server instead of having it on the one my board runs on and still do this hack?

If I get you right, you mean you want the chat to be outside the UBB.

The easiest solution is to download jPilot jIRC pack from www.jpilot.com

Hope it helped

I looked at the directions and noticed this part

chat => "Chat",
FieldNameNick => "Nick Name:",
FieldNameNickPassword => "NickName Password:",
FieldNameChannel => "Channel:",
FieldNameChannelPassword => "Channel Password:",
FieldNameReal => "Real Name:",
FieldNameServer => "Server Name:",
FieldNameServerPassword => "Server Password:",
FieldNamePort => "Server Port:",
FieldNameURL => "Display URL",
FieldNameIdentd => "Enable Identd",
FieldNameConnectNow => "Connect Now!",
FieldNameCancel => "Cancel",
FieldNameAbout => "About",
FieldNameConfig => "Config",
FieldNameConnect => "Connect",
FieldNameDisconnect => "Disconnect",
FieldNameTitlePeople => "people",
FieldNameTitleTopic => "TOPIC",
FieldNameAudio => "Play Audio",
FieldNamePrivateClose => "Close",
FieldNamePrivateChatTitle => "Chat with: ",
FieldNameConnecting => "",
FieldNameConnected => "Connected, please wait....",
FieldNameConnectionClose => "Connection close.",
FieldNameQuitMsg => "Leaving",
whos_online_chatting => "Chatting",

Ok if I just do the hack and have the stuff above set to my current mirc chat will people be able to get inside to the chat?

Jus check out http://www.soldierfamily.com/chat.htm
thats the java chat that leads into the mirc chat. Thats what Im worried about because I use my chat with mirc. I hope you understand.

Oh, that's what you mean... Ignore my other message

This mod is using IRC just like your applet does. Just set it up in the CP (Server Name, Channel Name).

Sorry for bugging you but I'm having a few problems.

1. The chatis not loading.
2. I dont want to have



Pointing to http://soldierfamily.com but instead to http://chat.hosting4u.net/ where the jirc scripts etc.. are.

Can you assist me please them are the only problems that I am having.

---

I need all the help I can get!

So you have to change ubb_chat.cgi manually

I am also having the same problem with the chat saying 0 users. Was in there last night with 8 people for a half hour and it said 0-1 users. Having it show no one in the chat room is a dterrent for others to join. If it does not work, perhaps I should remove that part of the hack. That is something that should not be there if it does not work.

If the problem has been solved, let me know!

Thanks.

Your board shows the counter correctly, but it only shows if Who's Online shows it (less than 10 minutes, if no page was visited afterwards) because I don't think there is any way to take the information from the applet.

You can change "There is no one in the chatroom. Click here to join it." in ubb_forum_summary.cgi to "Click here to join the chatroom."

Understood, thanks for the fast reply.
