UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.0x] Jimbo's Custom Status/Rank v0.0004 [Finished]

Yes. The cursor always starts on the second line.

Yep. Checked the filedate and it was the new one.

FileDate is probably not a good check. Open up cp_custom_status.cgi and see if you have the following three lines:

Thanks in advance!

Hey q, I got the same error message and I downloaded the files this afternoon... I didn't set any status except for the Custom Ranks and left the rest blank, which coulda been my mistake...

I know when clicking inside any of the text boxes, the cursor automatically goes to the second line.

Darn Pearl acting up again. It's a bug in Pearl that was only fixed in latter versions of Perl. If you can, please upgrade the Perl otherwise use the old backspace trick or fake data.

And a thought I found a workaround ....

qasic

This is the best hack man..Easy installation..as for me no mistake at all...Great job man

I installed the hack, edited, uploaded and chmodded everything, but when trying to access my Control Panel to input custom statuses and ranks, I got this error message:

Editing cp.cgi, and looking for this line 395...

if (($ubb eq 'get_profile_for_admin') && ($status eq 'Administrator')) {
require "$vars_config{CGIPath}/cp_users.cgi";
&get_profile_for_admin; exit;
} #end get_profile_for_admin

...the line in bold is line 395. Weirdly enough, it wasn't changed by the hack. What happened?

Re-hack cp.cgi and tell me what happens.

q

I've installed everything fine (I quess), I did the .SHW, and I also did it manually. When I want to Update the Custom Status/Rank Variables to create my vars_custom_status.cgi file, I get this error:


Unable to open vars_custom_status.cgi file for writing.
» Use your browser's back button to return.


What did I do wrong? I'm using UBB 6.04b
Please email help to renslohmann@hotmail.com . Thx!

You never pressed "Submit Variables" in the configuration area of Custom Status/Rank to generate that file. Do that and the file will be generated.

q

Well, I get that error when I press that button! I haven't created the vars_custom_status.cgi, when I try to (by pressing that button) I get this error I mentioned in my previous post!

That means you have a permissions problem.

qasic

New Version Release (0.0004).

See Release Notes on the first page to see what's new. To upgrade, upload the new, indicated files in the Install Doc. Then resubmit your Custom Status/Rank settings.

qasic

No complaints at all. Great hack. Thanks a lot!

Ultra newbie alert. What do I do with SHW??
Is it an easy way to install the mods?

Sorta. http://shw.coders-net.com/ for more details.

q

SHW made a world of difference! In fact it is a no-brainer. It works fine now, except for having to backspace before saving the ranks each time.

This hack has a conflict with that Star/Status hack I think.

I am a beginner at this, but both are named custom_status throughout. So i don't think both of these hacks can coexist unless someone goes through every line of code and changes it.

Please correct if i'm wrong, and i hope i'm wrong.

Virdus, my hack is NOT compatible with Dark Templar's hack.

q

dang

this custom status is so cool also.

Oh well, good work anyways quasic.


-viridus

Just so you know this hack does not work on UBB6.04c. It will not create the vars_whatever file when you first go into the Custom Rank settings.

Newest version creates it in Variables directly so it should otherwise 1) you hacked it incorrectly or 2) you have a permissions problem.

q

P.S. I AM running it on v6.04c with no problems

Add me to the problem issues!

qasic- I LOVE AND USE ALL YOUR HACKS!
I am on 6.04c (infopop PLEASE STOP THE UPGRADING ALREADY) I cannot seem to get it to work. I am going to try the backspace trick again, but I am not confident.

My e-mail is [email protected] if you would like to take a look at the board.

Thanks!

Qasic!

YOU ARE THE MAN. Never mind! Mine work fine now! Thank you very much!

This is great I love it, my members love it but I have one tiny request

With Custom Ranks Override it would be really good if you could do a complete set of custom ranks for certain members, as an examble custom ranks set at

1|!!|Visitor
10|!!|stranger
100|!!|Vet

And then the custom rank override
00000022|!!|10|!!|Good Friend
00000022|!!|100|!!|Superstar poster

At the moment the hack will only recognise the first one and no matter how many posts the member has will still call them good friend.

What I had hoped to impliment was a good/evil system, my board is based on a role playing game and having titles that keeps everyone happy is a nightmare. My plan was to have a standard set of ranks up to 100 posts and then have 2 alternative paths leading to good and evil ranks.

Maybe something to think about for a future upgrade?

I'm getting a bunch of errors saying that vars_custom_status.cgi doesn't exist. It isn't there and it didnt come with the zip! what should i do about that...

PokeDigi, it's obviously you have not read the documentation. Read the install document carefully and you'll find the solution (hint, hint ... submit variables first )

q

hey i just used the SHW file to install this hack, it works fine for me.

i think its brilliant, saves editing files all the time

so is it impossible for both the stars system and the custom rank to work together?

Yes that is possible.

q

that's great!
could u teach me how to do that?
pls send the instructions to
timothy_sin@hotmail.com
thanks a lot!!

RTM (Read the Manual).

qasic

Is it possible to have this work with the megamoderator hack?

can you make a feature for this hack which will allow to configure custom titles based on number of posts?

I use the other custom rank hack, just because it allows custom titles. If 8 ranks are enough for you, you can use the other hack from Dark Templar.

XuDux: you'll have to code that in yourself.

q

New to hacking...didn't know what a shw file was so I did it all manually. Everything works great except the custom rank overide

If I have my custom admin set as "League Admin"

And then at the bottom I have

00000001|!!|0|!!|Pseudo-Admin

The Custom Rank overide will not show.

The Custom Titles
Custom Ranks
And Custom Admin/Moderators all work flawlessly.

Any suggestions?

hi all

Before I apply the hack, I should ask if it works for v6.04d

Or if it's been tested by anyone...i'm too lazy to backup and try it unless no one else has..

Thanks guys

LWC: I bet you missed the following instruction.

Inside ubb_lib_posting.cgi,

find:

add below:

PhilC: yes, it's compatible.

qasic

hey hey

this hack is truely one of my favorites here...it adds so much customizable things to your UBB

but now, i got the Mega Mod hack installed and was wondering if there was a way to add a default Mega Moderator section to this code, just like Administrator and Moderator is in

it could be another version of this code...optional if you have it in

i really wanna know how to do this :-/, and it would be helpful to ppl in the future who have this mod

..::|-Peace-|::..

Hi again

I have installed the hack no problems. Thanks quasic, jimbo for the hack.

Job well done!

Thanx
