i can't reply and got the wrong message, please help me...

the wrong message is:
syntax error at /home/sites/site121/web/cgi-bin/ubb4fe/ubb_new_reply.cgi line 65, near ") &"

and i type the ubb_new_reply.cgi line near to you ,hope can help some...
:
# check to make sure user has access/permission to post!
if (($post_permiss eq 'private') || ($reply_restrict eq 'restrict')||($post_permiss eq 'hidden'))
&check_private_access($in{f}, $this_forum[12]);
}

eq 'hidden')) = eq 'hidden')) {

Thanks a lot.... ..

I'm getting the following error when I try to open the forum...

When I click on the topic inside the hidden forum is works fine...

This is the error that comes up in the forum itself:
Error: UBB cannot find this directory: : Forum5/private-S8VCLR6/private-S8VCLR6

From where you want to open the forum? First you cannot and than you are in and can read ?

You can click on the "latest post by: xxx" and it brings you to that topic... thats the only way I can get it, but I can't get INTO the forum, just the topic.

is there a shw for this??

would love it

I think you make someting wrong in the ubb_forum_sumary.cgi

here
Please control it.
It must be look and you make this

Hi, I´ve got the same problem! But i can´t find a second text, to replace! "find: yes a second one"

Okay my error.There is only one.

Error: UBB kann das Verzeichniss finden: Forum30/private-7APCH46/private-7APCH46
No such file or directory

I think it should only be: Forum30/private-7APCH46

Installed without a hitch. Good hack, thanks e@sy! There are a few spelling errors though... sorry, I forgot to write them down. I'll have another look and let you know.

Again, great hack!

That doesn't work easy... it makes it worse...

here's my assessment...
The directory is fine, the problem is:
its trying to open it twice!

The directory is this:
Forum5/private-S8VCLR6/

The error is this:
UBB cannot find this directory: : Forum5/private-S8VCLR6/private-S8VCLR6

Its trying to open the private part twice! Why?! I'm running 604e

hey hey

well, my boards not quite open yet and i dont want many people knowing about it, so i wanna ask a question about this hack so i can go ahead and know..

lets say you have 5 members that can see this forum..

if one of those 5 links the forum or topic inside the forum to someone w/o access, could the person w/o access get into the forum or topic??

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

No they can't... its private AND hidden... therefor only people with access can see AND access it

How can my problem be fixed?

You have a PM

have you got an answer yet e@sy?... I'm not rushing...

#########
#find : #
#########
} ## end hop_to_list
##################
# add this lines #
% What does this mean? Add above, Below or replace? Do I keep the ##End hop_to_list? It's also at the end of the new text.
##################

I get this error:

Error: UBB cannot find this directory:: Forum6/private-AP2K28/private-AP2K28
No such file or directory

» Please use your browser's back button to return.

The correct path for the forum is Forum6/private-AP2K28/

What did I miss? I installed twice with the same error.

OK Easy thanks.. but that created another problem...

I can now get into the forum...but I can't see any of the topics inside it when its hidden...

Dragon what was your problem, it seems mine is identical.

He said something in UBB_Forums.cgi was wrong.. and fixed it.. not sure what tho


he fixed it himself

@Dragon
I had the same problem. I fixed it in ubb_forum_summary.cgi
Look for
if ($thisforuminfo[6] eq 'private') { $exact_path .= "/private-$thisforuminfo[7]"; }
this line is 2x in ubb_forum_summary.cgi
After each I added this line:
if ($thisforuminfo[6] eq 'hidden') { $exact_path .= "/private-$thisforuminfo[7]"; }

now it works

I only have one instance...
There are almost 2 identical ones... but not the same

one is this:
if ($thisforuminfo[6] eq 'private') { $exact_path .= "/private-$thisforuminfo[7]"; }

the other is this:
if ($thisforuminfo[6] eq 'private') {

When I tried adding
if ($thisforuminfo[6] eq 'hidden') { $exact_path .= "/private-$thisforuminfo[7]"; }
to the second one...it has no effect

If I add if ($thisforuminfo[6] eq 'hidden') {
to the second one... it has a syntax error


wth is going on?

I want to be able to see the topics when its hidden!

ubb_forum.cgi
find
replace with
find
replace with
find
replace with
That's the 3 changes in ubb_forum.cgi (6.04f)

easy... why doesn't my forum show the topics once its hidden?

the Forum or the forumsummary ?

the forum...

when i go INTO the forum in hidden mode(thanks for fixing that part) it doesn't show any topics in there...and when you make one it doesn't show up

Look at the webspace where the new thread is written.It must be in this folder

noncgi/forumXX/private-xxxxxxx/000001.cgi

is it ?

If not - control the ubb_new_topic.cgi if all changes are correct.

Yes the topics are in the correct directory

Hi Easy,

is it possible to hide the new topics and replies from Active Topics ?

Dennis

I implemented the changes exactly as the text file said (version 1.1 for 6.04a-e) and double checked them for accuracy.

I can post in the forum (it is private and is checked as Hidden) but unless it is set as "On" in the control panel I still cannot move any topics to it. When the forum is "On", it is visible, but not able to be entered by anybody except those who have access.

The board this is at is http://www.xibase.com/UBB6/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi and my username there is fury.

I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance
