and then started from scratch each time

anyone who has syccesfully added this to a v6.04e please tell me if anything different is needed to complete this hack please

Too many people are getting that error. I think I'm going to have to hard code a check in for that. Anyways, the easiest solution is to CHMOD your CGI-BIN to 777, run Custom Status/Rank settings, and then CHMOD the cgi-bin TO 775.

qasic

Hi,

do you also have a solution for my problem ?
Thanks
Dennis

PM me w/ the URL to your board plus an administrators l/p as well as a
FTP l/p.

qasic

thank you for the help Quasic but it didnt work the same thing happend

if it helps im on a Unix server

Hmm .. I guess you've have to upload a file with 0 bytes into that directory. I believe you have to upload 4 null files into your variables directory as stated in the Files Generated sectin of the documentation. Sorry for the inconvenience.

P.S. dbode's problem fixed. He speicifed his ranks incorrectly and that was causing a problem

qasic

i get this when i try to g into the cp.cgi. why?
Software error:
Execution of cp.cgi aborted due to compilation errors. :rolleyes:

Incorrect hacking. Re-hack from known good backups.

q

Can anybody explain how to adapt this hack for PMs and Profile Screens? I didn't find it quite so simple as qasic said it should be. ^_^

Thanks-

i re hacked te coede and i still have the same prob is this beuse i have ubb 6.03??

It works on UBB 6.03. If you're having problems installing, use SHW.

qasic

ZIP file updated with a slightly modified program to detect for writeable permissions during initial setup. No need to upgrade unless necessary.

qasic

How can I make the titles replace the rank on a user, like it was in Jimbo's Hack for v5?

Not possible w/ my version. Sorry.

q

Anything is possible.

If instead of using Custom Titles, I could put them in the Custom Ranks Override thing and make the post count 0, it would put the title in where the rank is, right?

does this hack also haves the stars with the custom status like ubb 5 had ?

radio: that won't work because this hack treates titles differently from ranks.

Matrixx: you can add in stars if you like; that's specificable inside the Control Panel.

q

[ May 30, 2001 03:32 PM: Message edited by: qasic ]

quasic, it does work. You put in mem#|!!|0|!!|Titleyouwant and it puts that title in place of the rank

Meaning you treat title as rank? Sure that'll work

q

qasic, I have a question for you:

In my cp.cgi I don't have
so what should I do?

Also, when I go to the CP and select Manage Custom Titles/Ranks I get this error:

Can't locate vars_custom_status.cgi in @INC (@INC contains: /cgi-bin/UBB /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 .) at cgi-bin/UBB/cp.cgi line 361.

You must have that line. This hack requires UBB 6.0 GOLD +

q

I've got version 6.02

Anyways I got the cp.cgi part fixed..now my main problem is that when I try to go to it in the CP it tells me that it can't find the vars_custom_status.cgi.

[ May 31, 2001 04:22 PM: Message edited by: Sufian ]

Looks as if cp.cgi was hacked incorrectly.

q

qasic, hack is working fine except for one thing. I get this space under the username. Here's a screenshot:



I guess it's a
tag in a template somewhere. I'm new to all this. If anyone can help me out thanks a lot.

I'm using version 6.04. Here's the link to my test board:

So I presume you are using Titles only? You can remove the
from the public_topic_page.pl. It should be around $custom_status.

q

Is it possible to let the user set their own custom rank? I noticed that i may have to put edit: user_profile[7] in the public_edit_profile.pl, but i couldn't find it. The hack works perfectly, i just need the let users define their own, but at the same time controling it so if a member abuses it, i can edit it.
Thanks.

Sorry, it doesn't allow that.

q

Hi,

I saw that your hack will fit perfectly into the memberlist hack - do you know what to put in there to get a special row which contains the rank of the users ?

Thanks again for your help

Dennis

Ah, something else.
I saw in Private Messages (when you get a knew message) that there is still shown the normal UBB rank, but not the Custom Status Hack under the username. Is this known already ?

Dennis

designed behaviour.

q

Hi - has the code changed for UBB 6.04e?

I was looking through the coding in my ubb_lib_posting.cgi and it has an extra bit of code in the first hack. It shows local(FILE*) now. Should I replace it? How else might the hack need to be modified?

Huh? Can you describe your problem further thx.

P.S. I've tested it on UBB 6.04e w/ no problems

see post below

these files have been modified to work if you use the megamoderator hack by al bundy
it gives you the ability to set tiles/stars/etc to the magamod

i have tested on my site and one other with no problems there is no extra hacking to be done just replace the files with these and set the status
megamod must be installed and i have not suplyed qasic's original install instructions you will need those as well if you dont have this installed

http://www.orbsworld.com/orb/images/custom%20tiles%20with%20megamod.zip

well, since this is already the longest thread in the world, i figure i'd just add my 2 cents right on top

i installed it (manually) on 6.04e. i got the space under the username, did all the business that you've perscribed in this mammoth thread, but i still got it. so i gave up

the hack works perfectly except for this little bitty problem, and i think my users and myself can live with it.

thanks for this hack, i've been looking around for something like this for a while.

thedoctor and everyone else who is using custom titles only (and not ranks).

in public_topic_page.p

find:


remove it.

qasic

Great hack! Works perfectly. Thanks!

I love this hack it rullezz! I hope you work on the layout of the CP tho I dont like it very much .. but thats me.. like intead of making the numba in a field you select the member numba in a dropdown and get rid of that ugly green and so on

[ June 06, 2001 12:23 AM: Message edited by: Tech-Ni-Kal ]

FIND:

unless ($Moderator =~ /$this_user_number/) {
$user_status = "$vars_misc{MemberTitle}";

REPLACE WITH:

unless ($Moderator =~ /$this_user_number/) {
$user_status = &FixMod;


i cant find that any were? in ubb_lib_posting.cgi

[ June 06, 2001 12:19 AM: Message edited by: Mr.Clean ]
