UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.0x] Latest Threads v1.2.1 (updated 10/10/01)

I just upgraded my forum to UBB 6.1.0 and of course my Latest Threads didn't work.

After a couple of hours learning the new UBB 6.1.0 code I'ved quickly figured out how to run Latest_Threads standalone once again. (Filehandlers are no fun but I understand why they put them)

All those of you who have emailed me requesting a Latest Threads version for 6.1.0 don't have to wait too long.

I should have a running version by the middle of next week.

This also means the end of any new development for UBB 6.x LT code, most of the bugs are fixed and I have 1 final release for UBB 6.x waiting but only adds Iframe support and minor bug fixes.

I'll still check back here and then for support. However a new forum will be opened later next week under '6.1.0 Beta Mods'.

I also encourage everyone to upgrade to 6.1.0, I've already noticed a huge increase in speed.

Thanks

djcasual,

Well the main thing that was occuring was that whenever I make a new post, YES indeed it would edit lt.cgi and it would update just fine and dandy on the SSI execution.

HOWEVER as soon as a reply is made, when I reload the SSI, or even the lt.cgi script itself, it would not reset the cache to display the new current statistics of the thread (as in adding in 1 more new thread to the post).

In order to bypass this, I had to edit lt_reset.cgi to NOT display text, and had to run it side by side (through SSI execution) on the same page as lt.cgi. This resetted the cache on the load of the page, and it would then show the most current statistics on the posts.

I dunno if i'm doing more work than intended here but I didn't know what else to do.

Again here are my beta pages:

Location of the SSI

UBB Board
http://forumcenter.animebb.org/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

Once again note that this is a beta page, so if you incur any errors please feel free to let me know. Thanks.

RussellK,

Are you still having problems? I've been monitoring your websites Latest_threads.

All the topics seem to be updating correctly.

Your problem sound like you didn't modify/hack your ubb_postings.cgi if you do not modify this file your cache will not update.

Otherwise you Please let me know the status.

Thanks

It's working fine because i editted lt_reset.cgi and now it runs alongside with lt.cgi

I hacked all the files but the cache would not update so i had to go ahead and resort to editting the lt_reset.cgi to not display text... i execute it right above lt.cgi and it now works fine.

Simple question: Does this script work with 5.47e?

Is the version for 6.1 out yet. Thanks for all your hard work djcasual!

Yes, Latest_threads will work on 5.47e!

I'm glad you asked!! Yes, I'm releasing it tomorrow (Friday). This code was completely re-done so it took me a little longer than expected.

Thanks

Casual

forgive me if someone has already mentioned this i havent noticed. i did this hack with no probs at all excellent hack but have just noticed that it is displaying the login name of members and not the display name

How do I have to change the code in order to have the last page displayed when clicking the link to a specific topic??
I also have the Anchor Hack installed. Is it even possible to jump to the right anchor?

Ok, you found something I never noticed, good eye. I'll look into it.

Thanks


Yes, this is something I'm trying to figure out myself. So far I have not been able to accomplish this, but it is on my list of things to do. If anyone has any code ideas please let me know.

Thanks

Thanks

lt_reset.cgi was missing from the archive, otherwise everything works great!

Hi I have a question.

I installed the v1.2.1 on my forum and it's working fine, but I want something special I guess.

Instead of seeing every last post, I only want to display the body of the first post. So basically I need the Variable "$first_post" instead of the "$last_post". Except that "$first_post" doesn't exsist. Can anybody help me with the correct var????

Thanks, otto

What do you mean body of first post? Like show the first post on the page?

Is there a 6.2.1 version? or is this one compatable with it?

Thanks,

Travis

Yes there is a 6.2 version. Go into the 6.2 Beta forum and you'll find it there.
