UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.0x] Chat Mod 1.0.23

Multicity also has language translation for all those Foreign members who could never join in before.

To get it to work with Multicity is there anything else that needs to be changed besides whats in xyz in the ubb_chat.cgi
Thanks Lewi and LK.

Hi, LK, great hack. My Chat was working for about 2 weeks when all of sudden after I installed UBB News 2, I received the following error similar to what some of the other users have gotten:

Software error:
/home/sites/site47/web/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ubb_chat.cgi did not return a true value at /home/sites/site47/web/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi line 374.

I've only looked around and have not yet touched anything so I'm sure the script has not been touched ever since I installed it.

me to

Dj, it's legal, they bought a very expensive license/whatever and now they're allowed to remove it.

All others, it doesn't happen in my board. Take a look at http://lkubb.dns2go.com and then http://lkubb.dns2go.com/cgi-bin/ubbnews.cgi?ns_id=1


[edit]I removed it now, but it *did* work[/edit]

BTW, some of you have to change cp_common.pl:
If you won't do it, you won't be able to see "Date & Time Settings" in the CP.

hmm...i upgraded to ubb 6.05 and was installing all the hacks using Multihack 1.5 all of them worked except when i installed the chat hack...it doesnt show the line "There are XX people in chat Join here." on the main page...any ideas LK?
Thanks alot for all the help

MrQ, did you clean your cache?
Does ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=chat work?
Does it show anything in the forum summary?
Does public_forum_summary.pl include the code?
Does MultiHack give any error?

Or just give me a link


BTW, don't forget that you have to install Who's Online before.

I get that...I uploaded all the files...still doesn't work...

TaPaH, hack ultimatebb.cgi's part of "if ($ubb eq 'chat') {" again

anyone tried the Chat Mod with the new Whos Online 4.0? i cant friggin get it cause my uncle has the license not me.. this is fuggin retarted

THIS IS ****ING AMAZING MAN!!! THX SOOOOOO MUCH!

Updated to support Who's Online 4.0.

It's important to download the new MHP's if you use it, but in the regular text files you can understand what to do also in the old instructions.

But I suggest you to redownload (and not rehack) JIC...

ok. i've installed this hack and evrything seems to wokr great. but i have noticed a bug that noone has seemed to come across yet. i have reinstalled it 3 times and the same thing is happening.

when i change the style template for the chatroom it changes for the whole board, why is this? i would like to make my chatroom in a separate smaller window, which means a differnt template than the one i'm using but i have to keep the templates the same.

am i missing something or is this something that has been overlooked?

here's my board if you need to see anything - Tribliss Forums

Thanks in advance for any help on this matter.

You're right... It's really weird...

Temporary fix:

Thankz that worked perfectly...

Now your comment was a temp fix... Can i leave that like that or will i need to change something else later?

And one more thing.. For the iframe=on page.. Where can I change the variable for vars_whos_online{inactive_time} in ubb_chat.cgi? I don't see it in the cp file avywhere... I would just like to time this as close as possible to my current who'is settings....

Thanks Again!!
Rava

It's in vars_whos_online.cgi.

It takes the info of after how much time the name is removed from the list, and refreshes then.

It's called "Time until logged out" in the Who's Online Settings page.


About that temp fix, if it works, it can stay.

I called it temp because I may find an idea that looks more like the other ifs there...

duh on my part... i didn't even realize that the variable "vars_whos_online" was a who's online tag.... now i feel stupid.... rotf...

ok, well the patch for the templates worked great and this hack was very easy to install on my 6.04e (minus the headache of the template prob)... thankz for this one!!

and btw... can i use the earth time javascript you have on your test page? I didnt see any credits in it but i have been to the earth time website and didn't see anything there as well. so i would feel better asking than just taking...

thank again for everything!
rava

I ported it myself...

good hack

but me where can find the hack who show :

New Earth Time .... with time ...

thx

Look at my last post.

What directory of my UBB should I upload the jIRC files?
How can I point to the chat page in my UBB cp?
Thank you.

1. NonCGI
2. What do you mean? If you mean how to change the Chat Mod's settings, take a look at Primary Settings - Chat Settings.

Will it work with 6.04d?

It's tested on 6.05, but it should work anywhere that Who's Online 4.0 does.

WOW!
THis was a VERY quick replay! Thank you.
1. I can't find the line ($ci,$name,$usrnum,$ip,$loc) = split(/|^|/,$online[$i]); in ubb_lib.cgi
I thought it was because of the version of my UBB I'm using (6.04d).
2. Because of that (I think) I don't have the word "Chat" on my "front page" of the Board, so I tried to point at it with /cgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=chat but it just gave me
Undefined subroutine &main::WriteUserSession called at /home/sites/site89/web/secure/cgi/ultimatebb.cgi line 370.
3. I do have Who's On hack 3.9a working on my ubb.

kesha,

It's because of your proxy/cache.

These were the instructions of the old version, the new one is totally different.

I hope http://members.nbci.com/lkubb/chat2.zip (a temp zip I put for you) is any better.

Hey LK,
It is working now,
But somehow it completely messed up the look ow the Who's online page. Now Who's Online look WHITE, the way it originally was, even though cp shows that the "Black" template is still assigned to it.
Same about the way chat page looks.
Can I do smtn about it?

I found it.
Somehow the settings for Who's Online and the Chat are controled by the chat settings
I don't mind.
Now I don't have the buttons icons, but I gues I'll find it around.
Another question:
How come I can see some other participants there, who don't belong to my UBB?
Can I do anything about it?
Thank you.

If you can put a bot in the channel, you can make it locked with a key (+k key), and put it in the Channel Name Password of the CP.

The problem is, that everybody can see the password if they look at the source.

The fix to the Who's Online problem is to put:
after

Hey LK,
I guess I'm kinda slow, but could you please write step by step instructions on how to make my chat un accessable to the members of my board ONLY.
I didn't really understand the stuff about a key.
Thank you.

And how come you have your own LK channel?
I want to have 1 like that , too.

One more thing:
As soon as I choose in cp NOT to have the command bar in my chat, the cha wont start, it shows an error in line 375.

(1) I think (2) is a better solution
(2) Change Channel Name to another channel name, starting with # (like #hello), and register it your nick: /nickserv register password email , then you'll get an email from DALnet. Follow its instructions, and then register your channel: /chanserv register #channel password description (description = what is your UBB about).

(3) You're right... It worked before. Lookin' at it now.

(3) Fixed.

Download the new zip and upload ubb_chat.cgi

hey LK.. how do u put a bot in my channel? have him like stay there the whole time or something? :rolleyes:
