Mr. Clean: that line would be missing if you had removed it so that you would see Moderators as Moderators in all forums.

to the other person: please rehack from known backups. You hacked the files incorrectly.

ubb_lib_posting.cgi question for qasic again.

Here's some clarification as to what I was talking about. Your instructions say to find and add as follows:

FIND:

local($forum_number, $topic_number, $array_start, $page_number, @topic_file, @stat_line, @ordered_topic, $j, $ThisPage, $TopicPageTotal, $PostTotal, $PageName, $whole, @postinfo, $MaxPoint, $ContinueAt, $NextPage, $TotalPages, $close_transfer_wording, $ubb_friend_on, $close_option, $reply_button, $move_option, $delete_option, $reply_restrict, $topic_restrict, $reply_wording, $topic_wording, $category, $cat_name, $line, @thisline, $un_coded, $public_name, $this_user_name, $hyphen_date, $ip_number, $ip_wording, $is_reg, @datearray, @timearray, $year_check, $year, $ThisDate, $get_hour, $get_minute, $FormatTime, $post_body, $edit_link, @user_profile, $this_user_number, $user_status, @themonths, $RegDate, $RegMon, $RegDay, $RegYear, $AuthorExtra, $profile_link, $email_link, $icon_number, $this_icon, $direct_reply, $alt_color, $hop_to_options, $page_name, $show_public_name, $ip_divider, $cat_line1, $cat_line2, $user_rating, $user_type, %Rater, %User, %votes, %total, %avg, %weighted_avg, $homepage_link, @author_extra, $location_line, $regdate_line, $post_total_line, @blank, $u, $member_number, $allow_images, $overall_rating, $stars, $rating_line, $total_votes, $pm_link, %rate_list);

ADD BELOW:

local($custom_status);
____________________________

But if you look at the new ubb_lib_posting.cgi, the one that comes with 6.04e, the end of your "Find" section reads:

[beginning ommitted]
$show_public_name, $ip_divider, $cat_line1, $cat_line2, $user_rating, $user_type, %Rater, %User, %votes, %total, %avg, %weighted_avg, $homepage_link, @author_extra, $location_line, $regdate_line, $post_total_line, @blank, $u, $member_number, $allow_images, $overall_rating, $stars, $rating_line, $total_votes, $pm_link, %rate_list);
local(*FILE);
_________________________________

So, you see, my question is do I replace the *FILE that's in the parenthesis with $custom_status, or something else?

If I use the same hacked file from the 6.0 version I was using, my eusers can't post at all, they get an error.

Thanks.

remove it.

qasic, i did. and it worked. now its even better. thanks for the help. its appriciated.

and thanks again for the great mod.

Junethesis,

Please follow the instructions carefully. The instructions say to find
that long line and then add something below it. It mentions NOTHING about
local(*FILE). You're really complicating yourself

So, in summary, don't touch the local(*FILE). Just add the
local($custom_status) after the long text.

qasic

Okay - okay. Just checking. It's just that it wansn't there the last time I did the hack - so I didn't want to mess anything up.

Thanks for your replies.

SOO DO I JUST SKIP THAT STEP?

You can but you'll be missing some functionality of the full featured hack

qasic

what can i do to get the full fetured?

I do know to what extent the removal of that line will affect this hack. Sorry.

qasic

i installed the hack from the shw file , so how can it be a bad hack then?

NickJ: Then you've not uploaded some files that were supposed to be uploaded.

q

In your directions, it says to find:

****************************
cp_common.pl (template)
****************************

I can't find this template in my install. Could it be I have a "light" install? It says version 6.04e.

Thanks
Daddyo

when Iedit "ubb_lib_posting.cgi" I get a low memory error! I know That this isn't possbile beacuse I closed all the programs and I still couldn't edit it! well I made it trhough 2 new inserts in there,but the rest doesn't work! Can some some help me edit it? Some one trustworthy? e-mail me at [email protected] thanks.

Daddyo: wth is a "light install". There's no such thing in the UBB world.

Telenesis: get a better text editor.

q

Teleknesis,

i use an editor called NfoDiz. i dont know if this is the greatest one around, but i like it and it does the job.
here's the link to their homepage.

http://www.dntb.ro/users/brigada/nfodiz/index.htm

I installed it on my active board and the custom ranks are not working. They only say Member for everyone. The Custom Titles are working, though. Any ideas on why? I have it set to Both.

http://sicktracks.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

thanks

On the other hand, it might be working. I think I just have to wait for everyone to post for their ranks to show, right?

Not sure what to make of it because I see someone's rank working, but my rank (Admin) is still coming up as Member.

Nah it's not working. It's weird. It's only working for one person.

I'm using the newest version 6.04f, maybe that's the problem.

[ June 12, 2001 11:19 AM: Message edited by: The Wedge ]

I used this hack and every thing is working great!

You can cheack it out here -> http://www.shocklabz.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi

The Wedge: Any problems you want me to help you debug?

q

Yes! please help me out. Do you want me to PM my account info and stuff? I've already installed it twice on a test board on the previous version of UBB. But now it won't work right. Just let me know what you need. Thanks.

Have you tried the SHW? That's probably the best way for you. I could install it for you; but it would cost you $$$. If interested, PM me.

qasic

Are you getting ERRORS when you try to add Custom Levels/Ranks?

If so try turning OFF the Data Verification Check.

Thats what I did when it kept responding with ERRORS every time I tried to make up custom ranks etc.

how do I use this shw file?

qasic

thanks, works like a charm now.

That website doesn't appear to be working. I'm getting a 547 error when I try and access the custom titles/rank option in the control panel. I rehacked it three times now, and get the same error every time.

Any suggestions? help(!)

DaddyO: Was is a 547 error?

q

Is the error I'm receiving from cp.cgi.

[ June 14, 2001 03:43 PM: Message edited by: Daddyo ]

Daddyo's problems have been resolved. It was due to incorrect hacking (and the incorrect following of instructions).

q

[ June 14, 2001 06:55 PM: Message edited by: qasic ]

how i can make this to be show on profile too?
is there an add-on for that?

qasic, the link to the file doesn't have an extension. I can't get to it.

Cool Hack, I'll try install it later and hopefully no problems.

edit:nevermind, all problems solved

[ June 17, 2001 09:30 AM: Message edited by: Teleknesis ]

qasic!

First, Thank you for EVERYTHING you do!

Second, I'm trying to get the who's online display (where it lists the users)... each user as an active link to that user's profile..

As seen in the Authority List hack....

Any ideas / suggestions?

Tele: no problems for me!

qasic

Installed the hack but...when I go to the control panel and click on the custom title/rank thing...it gives me an "FYI - you do not have permission to access this page" I've tried logging out and back in and realoading and both my ADMIN names...any idea what I'm doing wrong? Help would appreciated...peace.

Excellent work, q. I like controlling my Members Custom Stats a lot better than letting them go crazy by allowing them their own "fun".

Will this work with 6.5?

Mizza: incorrect hacking of cp.cgi

This hack should work on UBB 6.05.
