UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.0x] Stars/Status Hack for UBB6 [ Finished ]

This hack adds 5 extra statuses, puts stars depending on a user's status and stuff you set in the CP. It also adds custom status capabilities.

A few notes:

*Make the fourth custom registration information box say "Custom Status"
*If anyone tries to make their status a higher rank than they are, i.e. a Member trying to make their status say "Administrator" it won't work - it changes their status to "Cheater!" (note - this is temporarily disabled)
*Custom status shows up in the posts, not the profile
*The information you enter for the status "Member" Only applies to the profile, NOT the posts!
*More features to be added as I make them...

Yes, I am.

ok cool thanks ill wait till then.

Whoohooo, it works perfectly on my UBB 6.02
Feel free to take a look
Thanks for the great Mod

You're welcome; glad you're enjoying it!

Is it also possible to implement the possibillity to alternate the stars or to put more filenames in the row ?
Something like this in the control panel
The 0 is just a number to indicate that there is a serie of filenames.

DT... i have 1 question...

are you really planning to make the ULTIMATE star/status hack with qasic?

Because i would like to have YOUR stars hack but HIS custom status...

or maybe let him include your stars hack in his hack?

Or maybe i can revove the part of your status hack and only keep the part of stars hack?

thanks for any help...

Booster- No, it's not possible, at least not yet.

Tyran- Yeah, I'd like to, but it's up to qasic. The way I'd like to do it is for him to finish his status part completely, then I take his coding and fully integrate my stars coding into it, leaving the best of both worlds.

nice hack, Dark Templar

is it possible to have the user name glow and change each time the status changes..?

Yea, its possible; I'll consult the creator of the glow hack to find out if he'd be willing to contribute some code (and of course, be added to the creators list for this hack) to make this hack even better!

I'm trying to remove this hack. I installed it a couple of weeks ago. I'm moving my board to a new server and something isn't working. Infopop is trying to help me, but I have to remove the hacks first.

Anyways, I removed everything. Then I went to reopen the board and and I couldn't update the misc settings, it said I had not completed the required fields and it listed all the custom status fields???

Any ideas??

thanks

You undoubtedly missed some cp_lib.cgi coding; the verification array.

i get this error when installing on 6.03. Ive tried it several times and get the same error message when trying to access cp.cgi!

Error including required files: syntax error at D:htmlubb/cp_lib.cgi line 828, near "tle", "" syntax error at D:htmlubb/cp_lib.cgi line 915, near "P>" "use" not allowed in expression at D:htmlubb/cp_lib.cgi line 915, near "not " syntax error at D:htmlubb/cp_lib.cgi line 915, near " " Compilation failed in require at D:htmlubbcp.cgi line 51. Make sure these files exist, permissions are set properly, and paths are set correctly.

Any Suggestions?

Please help

Hope this help u solve the problem!

The problem lies in this bit of coding:

#check censor words for parentheses!
if ($censorwords =~ m/(,|(|)|]|[)/) {
&StandardHTML("ERROR

We cannot process this request because you
have a censor word list that includes at least one illegal character. You may
not use any of the following characters in your censor word
list:

, ( ) [ ]");
}

Is that the fixed coding, or is that just the location of the problem?

That's where the coding is messed up...probably that coding was separated by line breaks in your file; in your text editor, remove those returns between all the lines of

&StandardHTML("ERROR

We cannot process this request because you
have a censor word list that includes at least one illegal character. You may
not use any of the following characters in your censor word
list:

, ( ) [ ]");

Ok, thnx!

Im gonna go try it out now, ill post back in 10 min!

Sh*t!

Didnt fix my problem, i get the same error!

Ahh...found it.

You had replaced it wrong somehow when you installed it.

EDIT: took off those code tags...this got too wide

Sweet!

Its all workin good now!

Thank for the help Dark Templar!

No problem, no problem at all!

Dark Templar
When i install your Star/Status Hack then it dont work
when the members post more then i have say in the Miscellaneous Settings then the status dont change by the members profile and by the topic or reply.
i work with ubb 6.02.
Please help me
P.S: And the hack when i instal it then the text off the status and stars in Miscellaneous Settings are bigger then the other txt of Miscellaneous Settings.
and what do you mean with this????
Make the fourth custom registration information box say "Custom Status"
must i also put a vink on something then when i make the fourth custom box??

When i install it, my Flag Hack ****ed and now its shows the url of the flag image.
=-My Furom-= .
user name: user
pass: user
please help!!

I installed the stars hack with no problem at all !

I tried to install the falg hack and it didn't work !

I think they are incompatible with each other . Thats the extent of my knoledge on this and most other subjects .

I'll have a look at the flag hack to tell you what the deal is with that.

Is this hack working on 6.04?

And also I have a question: I dont want to hack my board very much untill i get a version that i will keep for a time. So is 6.04 stable and good, or should I wait for 6.05/6.1 or something? Any help appriciated.

There's no reason it shouldn't work on 6.0.4 Nicolai. And it depends on how you want to do things, whether or not to hack the current one or wait for the next one. There will be quite a few versions released in the next few months, as they fix bugs. It's really up to you how you want to do it.

I added this hack to my board...I am administrator with 6.0.4 and everything worked alright except the users can't make their own custom status...the box is there in the profile...but when I test the status it still says like "Mr. President" and not my Custom status....what did I miss, or what did I do wrong..

Thanks for this gr8 hack!

Patrick

It should look like this:

Username
Status because of posts
Custom Status (if there is one)

If what you're wanting is for Custom Status to replace the post status, I'll document that addon tomorrow.

Are there any changes to the code in version 4.52 to 4.53?
Just used beyond compare and compared the old text.file from version 4.52(i use) and the new text.file to version 4.53,but i can't se any changes to the code.

So i guess there is no reason for me to upgrade to version 4.53
Anyway thanks for this great hack that works like i charme on my ubb6.03

gr8 will install right away

Mine still does not work Dark Templar...I added the hack...but the Custom Status does not show up at all....does this only effect new members? Or what.?

Are you sure you added the "Custom Status" to your Custom Registration Field # 4: in your Registration Settings?

I'm sorry, but at the end of the hack (YES! I did install and find everything properly) It says upload the stars folder, I don't have a stars folder...

Patrick: cali3d took the words right outta my mouth

cali3d: Code is unchanged, directions are modified however so people understand just what the "Member" status is.

Seven of Nine: the directions right above that line say: Unzip and upload the folder.

EDIT: Silly thing put [/quote] in the URL.
