Cool! Glad someone made this, I am sure many people were looking for this one. I am personally not looking for it or ready to install it anytime soon, but I am pretty sure others are.

Great hack! smile

Way to go Chuck! laugh

With this hack you can modify a few lines and then it takes you on the fly to LK's Jpilot chat...or to anywhere.

#################################
#ubb_lib_posting.cgi #
#################################

$profile_link = qq(
$vars_wordlets{view_profile_for} $show_public_name
);

########
add after:
########

$chat_link = qq(
);


#################################
#public_topic_page.pl #
#################################

#########
# Find: #
#########

$profile_link $homepage_link $email_link $pm_link $edit_link $direct_reply

############
# add: #
############

$chat_link

so it looks like this:

$chat_link $profile_link $homepage_link $email_link $pm_link $edit_link $direct_reply

or put it elswhere in that line!

Can't seem to get this one to work. I followed the instructions but cannot see the recent post mod in the user's profile.

Everyone - Thank you! smile

Split - The mod icon doesn't appear in the profile, it appears in the set of buttons above a users post. smile

Variables - Would you like me to write that up in a text file for you?

Hey Chuck, maybe your readme was a little unclear:

This is for the ubb_lib_posting.cgi
###################################
# Using the same line, add after: #
###################################

$recent_posts = qq(
);

#Done, Close ubb_lib_posting.cgi

So what do I do..do I add it like so:

$profile_link = qq(
$vars_wordlets{view_profile_for} $show_public_name
);$recent_posts = qq(
);

Also do I put the gif file in the CGI-BIN directory?

Still a newbie to these scripts but I'm picking it up fast. Thanks guys..

Yes, I'll touch up on the readme a little later tonight for you. smile

And please just clear your cache once again and see if that may do it.

Sorry for the bad instrcutions. But this is how the code must look:

$profile_link = qq(  
$vars_wordlets{view_profile_for} $show_public_name
);

$recent_posts = qq(
);

That is how it's intended to look. I'll re-write the readme in a bit.

It's ok.

Things are going to get a LOT worse though as we just finished Version 2.0.0-beta (becoming public tomorrow).

Version 2.0.0-beta will include a feature to be able to change the image via a style template in your CP. smile
