I'm having the same problem fellas. The thing is with me, it made a blank space between the display name and the member number. No status is shown at all. You can see it here: http://forums.section31.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=3&t=000003 (just a random post) Help is needed... How do we correct this?

York1's problem fixed. His was twofold:
1) He entered an incorrect path for Custom Titles; he had two // in the path for some reason.
2) He forget the Backspace trick. You need to backspace on seemingly Empty Fields EVEN THOUGH they seem empty. Backspace until it's impossible. It's a quirk within the UBB software unfortunately. I may be using this server for testing purposes later on to see if I can quash this annoying bug.

The custom title works fine but I have yet to get the custom ranks to work at all. The database is there with the ranks listed in there but the default ranks are still being shown. I cleared the ubb cache and all that. So what else should I do?
Additionally if you use HTML in the Custom Rank for Admins and then save it, when it re-displays it messes up the form.

Tundra:
Check that:
1) Use Both is ON for Custom Title/Rank settings.
2) Give me a picture of how the ranks are messed up if you use HTML?
Thx.

Thanks number 1 fixed the first thing. Now for the second. When I use something like Administrator in the Custom Rank for Admins it saves the codes correctly but re-displays this only on the form line:
One thing I noticed you should probably add is when you look at the profile of new members it shows their default rank and not the hacked one. Perhaps a simple fix?

Check this:
Inside the Text Area for Custom Titles press + . I bet it shows blank space at the bottom. it away.

Hmm . . . . I'm not sure if this would work, but you could add this somewhere to the script to remove that white space: I can't guarantee it'll work, I haven't tried it myself.

Problem fixed. Entering in dummy data fixes the problem. BTW, all users should be re-uploading the new cp_custom_status.cgi *hint* *hint* qasic

Okay, I think I've found a good work around in the coding for the blank text area bug (even though its Perl's fault.) I need some testers. Go d/l my ZIP file again and re-upload cp_custom_status.cgi into the UBB cgi dir. Now do whatever you did previously to cause errors when you had blank boxes - the errors should now NOT show up qasic [ April 18, 2001 12:10 AM: Message edited by: qasic ]

I see the error in the custom override box. It has one too many blank lines in there. To fix I simply backspace over it. Here's the error. Custom Override Rank: does not have |!!| text |!!| present OR a blank line exists where there shouldn't be one

So which parts were blank - only the Override section?
Are you sure you uploaded the NEW cp_custom_status.cgi inside the zip file?
Thx.

Just wanted to say thanks to you quasic. I only started using UBB today and have managed to set this MOD up easily (with minimal help from a friend).
Thanks again! Keep up the good work.

Hey, qasic, do you plan to fix this to where the statuses show up in profiles, too? I think this could be done with only a little more modification. This is one thing that bugged me about the older version of this hack too...

Yes, looks like a very nice mod qasic.. any time frame on integration with dark templar's stars/status? I basically need to be able to add more status' (stati?) that'll use a different image as the # of posts get to certain levels. DT allows for 5 and I got someboby who wants 20... That's a lotta rewriting of dt's script...

Sounds like you either forgot to upload the file or you haven't set permissions on it yet...

AA: Already done. Just set the ranks accordingly and add the appropriate image to each rank. Sorry, but I would not be modifying the profiel to show custom title. You can do it yourself if you like. Not that hard. qasic
