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:

(just a random post)

Help is needed... How do we correct this?

evortex's problem fixed: he didn't hack my code in correctly wink

Everything else who is experiencing the problem involving blank lines, try entering this dummy data (with membernumber 00000000):

00000000|!!|Nothing

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?

Tundra: The Regular Status on User Profile is the designed behaviour.

New Custom Title/Rank ZIP File Bugfixes:

* mod_perl compatability problem fixed (uninitializied variable)
* unfiltered " problems fixed (thx Tundra)
* blank area TEXTAREA debugged - you'll need to upgrade your Perl version
* FAQ updated

Download: http://www.qasic.com/ubbhacks.html

To Update: re-upload cp_custom_status.cgi into UBB CGI directory and CHMOD 755

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.

Mr. Clean, that's already in. No effect what so ever.

The dude with the problems, I'm going to need to look @ your board personally. E-mail the cp login and url plz ([email protected]) or AIM/ICQ me.

Problem fixed. Entering in dummy data fixes the problem.

BTW, all users should be re-uploading the new cp_custom_status.cgi *hint* *hint*

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 smile

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.

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... smile That's a lotta rewriting of dt's script... laugh

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. wink
