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

Great hack! Worked on the first attempt...

But I have a problem... I am not allowing Custom Titles for everyone. I want each moderator to have their own custom title, and their own unique stars. Can I manually add/hack this somewhere like in UBB5.x? Can someone help me here? TIA

GREAT! because of this malfunction, I have had to delay my grand opening of my forum!
well, should be fixed within a month by my estimate!
(sorry feeling really grouchy about this problem, my final hack on the board and its the one that dont work)

When a member replies to a topic that a jr mem started and has a number over the jr member post limit, he only has a jr mem status. Is this similar to the3jams' problem?

eg. billy has 1 post and starts a topic (only 1 star showing. Good.).
jerimiah has 16 posts (1 post over the jr mem limit; therefore, should have 2 stars instead of 1 star showing. Bad.) and replies to billy's topic.

i'm using 6.03. VERSION: 4.53 of the hack.

I think I got it to work. In the CP I made Member = Member Rank 1. Meaning simply gave them the same post value and rank name.

If this is what Dark Templar was refering to, then it wasnt very clear.

I keep saying this . Member status is ONLY for profile disply, it ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT affect post displays. That's it, I'm taking Member status out of that block of entries, putting it in a separate area to enter the info for, and specially labeling it "for profile ONLY".

Dark T:
i found a little prob,
when you have the mega(super) mod installed, than it shows the super mods as "Junior Poster"

what do i have to change to fix that?

(btw nice hack)

I will be writing an addon to this hack for Mega Moderators as soon as I install mega mods on my forums. It will be a little while.

So does this mod effect member ratings option.

I ran the old star hack one on my 5 board and cant wait to use this one.

If this has already been talked about please accept my apology.


Cryptik

no, this does not affect member ratings.

Hi!

Nice Hack!!! Installed and worked fine. But 1 Question:

When a Member increases Jr. Member to Member it is not shown in the Threads but when he is reaching the next level (Sr. Member) then he is shown correctly as it.

My Ranks:
Newbie
Jr. Member 20
Member 70
Sr. Member 150
...

Any hints why that occurs?

I think the cache is the problem!!!you chould turn it off...

Grizzle gruzzle, so what im getting from reading all of the previous is that you cannot use different more than one star at once (ex. you'd see just one star duplicated 6 times)?

I saw one board doing it wtih all different admin stars...but then again it was a 5.47 board.

-hackr

Yes on 5.4* versions it looked nicer
with the stars2000hack,
maybe it will be possible with this one to in the future!

Time will tell

MZ, I have answered that question so many times in this topic. Please, read this topic for the answer!!!

just want to confirm (pls answer me....... just yes or no)

newbie rank 1
jr member 0 title (show in profile only)
member 50 rank 2
member 1 100 rank 3
etc.

am i correct??
thanks a lot!!

any 1 made a Status hack like EasyWarez have to ubb6 ???? check EW forum COOL STATUS HACK

http://easywarez.com/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi?action=intro

This hack installed fine on my testboard, so I went and tired to install it on my main board and every thing is fine, the custom status works fine, the cp works fine. Just when somebody posts the stars don't show up. They have the space for them just no stars. I looked in the public_topic_page because I figured that is where my problem would be and everything seems to be fine. I even compared it to the one on my test board. I have uploaded and re-uploaded the stars and everything. Any ideas as to what could be wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated.

hey hey

i feel a little stupid, but im having a little problem with this hack

i have the mega moderator hack installed, so i had to edit this hack a little

I found what it told me too, and i seen that mine had the "Mega Moderator" part in it...so i replaced the whole segment, but added my "Mega Moderator" part into it...im not for sure if this had any effect on the results or not...

alright, i get confused there

so i skipped that and went to miscellaneous settings, and see that theres nothing to change...

i go ahead and hit "Update Miscellaneous Settings", and i get this huge error:

alright, this may seem like a stupid and little problem to most of you, but i just started on UBB's not that long ago, yet ive installed some long hacks...i dont know why im having problems with this one

i been having problems with the "who's online" also, but ill wait till that comes out on final modifications to ask about it

Heres info about my board:

Ultimate Bulletin Board 6.04a
http://tdhdesigns.hypermart.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

help is really appreciated, if you can help

thanks

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

Troca_King - u can do that with this hack, you just use different images.

oki when this hack was in beta i asked this question, but nw i forgot how to do it again

DT. I want that Moderators stay moderators only in the forum they are moderartors off.

ps. can you include this as FAQ ? for peeps that want this feature?

Timothy: No, its:

newbie rank 1
jr member 0 rank 2
member 50 (shows in profile only)
member 1 100 rank 3
etc.
xXDaRoadie- You DO need to change things in misc. settings...perhaps you did not modify and upload cp_vars_misc.pl to your templates directory?

Compboy- yes, I will document that as soon as i can; im in the middle of a big project right now, (may or may not be for ubb ;)), but ill try to get it out soon. most people want mods to show up as mods in all forums (helps to know if you are insulting staff or just members :D) so thats the way I packaged it. its actually quite simple, you just need to change a hash slice to a certain scalar.

Nice hack, i got it to work the first time i put it up.

However, you might want to note that you need to update member stat files and, i believe, also clear the cache before you can work it. I had some troubles with rankings until i did this, now it works great!

PS. Nice hack!

yay i got it to work, thanks dude

but when i go to edit the custom registration fields in the registration section...i still get this error:

Any ideas???

also, as dumb as this may seem, how do you add different stars in the admin box...

theres 7 different Administrator stars, but i can only enter one...*continues feeling dumb*

sorry for all of the questions, but im sorta lost :-/

(im running 6.04a board, at the url: http://tdhdesigns.hypermart.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi )

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

did you make sure the custom status field was custom field #4?

as for the different admin stars; I dont have it set to allow different admin stars yet. I just realized how to do it in a sweet array, so that will be done soon. (gotta love foreach loops ;))

hey hey

yeah, its in the 4th field:



then, after i submit it, i get this FYI:



*sigh*, maybe i entered the info wrong when i modified the file...but the thing is, i forgot which file it was (it sucks being new and learning how to do stuff)

have any suggestions dude...

but dont rush on the different admin stars...i might just edit the individual stars and make a GIF blinking bar for administrators...

well, if i can think of a good solution for a temp. admin bar, ill make it and post it

but no rush and thanks again

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

Thx will be looking into it. if i can't find the "scalar" i'll let you know.

hey hey

nevermind, i found a solution...

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

xxdaroadie- allowhighbit is some other hack, or built into the UBB, none of the code in my hack messes with that file, or at least it shouldnt.

compboy- Did that addon you wanted. This addon makes mods show up as mods in ONLY the forums they moderate. I personally dont like this feature, and can't recommend this addon, but I provide it here. http://theultimagamers.hypermart.net/ubb6hacks/nomodsaddon.txt

I have also updated the normal directions to reflect this link, but not include the change. Happy coding!

I have the following problem when trying to install this hack on my UBB 6.0.

I installed the hack, then went to the control panel to modify the misc. But I forgot to add in custom to registration. However, I did that after I received the error message above. It still did no help. Please advice on what my next step should be in fixing this problem. I also have the avatar hack installed. Will that pose a problem?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Thx.
i forgot to tell you that i found it out by myself hehehe.. but Thanks again
it's a little diff. from what i did.
i only changed Userprofile[8] to user_status.

ranklists- probably an installation error; redo the cp_lib.cgi modifying is the best I can recommend without knowing more about the problem.

compboy- that will work

I'll ask again... Please Help!! Thanks!

Please help me! (maybe sand me a mail ihradu@go.ro )
thank you!

Hi,

I installed the hack, but whenever I try to change anything in the misc menue, I get the message that I don´t have the permission to do that. What did I do wrong ?

Thanks
Dennis

check the chmod for your uploaded files...
and then if it still doesn't work...check it again!

I'm using the stars hqack on my UBB6 board (the one that integrates into your CP). I'm having some kind of problem with it. I specified in the CP that anyone with 31-100 posts is called "Demon Bait." And from 101-500, your title changes to "Sunnydale High Student." For some reason, people are still keeping the demon bait title until they reach 500 posts. I'm looking at the CP, and everything appears right, but for some reason the board's not following what it says in the CP.

BTW, I reuploaded an old members directory (from a version of the board before the stars hack was added) after I added the stars hack. Could this be it?
