UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.0x] Last User Name to Reply in Forum [ Finished ]

I'll have this updated on the website tonight.

PsxBasement, the quick and dirty way would be to save the HTML. Open up in your favorite HTML editor. Copy and paste from there (it always works for me ) for proper formatting.

q

the easiest way to get his code from off this page is to click on the "edit" button in his post... just copy and paste from the text box....

File updated with bug fixes and to version 6.01 (Link on first page).

I updated the format of the instructions too, if you guys don't mind following it pretty closely in the future, consistency in formatting will help the newbies..

Allen: Seems to be a problem with this bit of code, causing a software error:

# begin last post hack
if ($last_post[1] eq "000000"){
$last_post_username = "";
}
else { $last_post_num = &GetUserNumber($last_post[2]);
# get latest public name for latest post replier!
my @user_profile = '';
if (-e "$vars_config{MembersPath}/$last_post_num.cgi") {
@user_profile = &OpenProfile($last_post_num);
chomp($user_profile[15]); chomp($user_profile[0]);
$last_post_username = $user_profile[15];
if ($user_profile[15] eq '') { $last_post_username = $user_profile[0]; }
}
else {
$last_post_username = $last_post[2];
}
my $total_posts = $total_replies + 1;
my $page_num = '';
if ($total_posts > $vars_display{HTMLDisplayMax}) {
my $total_pages = int ($total_posts / $vars_display{HTMLDisplayMax});
if ($total_posts % $vars_display{HTMLDisplayMax}) { $total_pages++; }
if ($total_pages > 1) {
$page_num = "&p=$total_pages";
}
$last_post_username = qq!
$vars_wordlets{last_reply_by}: $last_post_username!;
}
# end last post hack

Inserting the old code (even though there is a bug) makes it go away. All code was inserted properly.

More specifically, that posted fix by Slurp isn't functioning...

This one might belong in beta instead of finished. I am also getting errors with ubb 6.01

Amy

I just attempted to install this hack on my UBB 6.01 and I keep getting this error:

Place it in the Primary Wordlets under Pages.

Error confirmed and fixed.

in ubb_forum.cgi find:

if ($total_pages > 1) { $page_num = "&p=$total_pages"; }
}

add below
}

That's it! Updated docs will be available on qasic.com later tonight!

Thanks qasic, text file updated as well...

Hey Allen,

Did you add the fix here? Because the bug is occurring here ... it chose page 3, and topic #49 which obviously didn't exist since t was on page 2!

qasic

We are waiting on borg to finish the who's online before we upgrade, so we haven't upgraded or done anything yet. I didn't want my fiddlin with it to mess with his work. He has been uplodaing and downloading pretty fast and furious the last few days...

worked great and was easy to install. thanx

hm, i installed the mod for ubb 6.01. if a thread is more that 2 pages long and i click one the latest reply, i come to the first post of the thread. any suggestions? i downloaded the newest version ...

I have the fix but I can't document it because my code is different now than what is being used currently.

Is this mod safe to install right now on UBB 6.01?

Or do some fixes still need to be made?

Slurpee, why don't you test out on the Beta forum then? It may good to get it into the public for some testing!

Yes, the newest version on my site is v6.01 compatible!

q

no, it doesn't work with multiple pages.

It seems to work with multiple pages on this thread quite well, I haven't actually seen the problem you're all complaining of. The 'who's online' hack is a good example of it working.

ok,,my two cents. I have UBB6Gold and found the following
That was it for now unless i find anymore with it.

[edit; sorry had to shorten this because it screwed the thread with the long statement.

[ March 27, 2001: Message edited by: Subzero ]

any one got a fix yet for the multiple page problem.. clicking on the user name in the forum brings me to first post in that thread. hmm hmm. ? Otherwise it works fine.

Guys, look at Allen's first post in this thread, he has a link to the hack in the database. I just checked and that file does contain my fix in it, so follow those directions and see if that does it.

True, the link in the first post is the latest... We still have the minor glitches here, and will have until we upgrade to 6.02 this weekend...

My bad.. I tested it again and it does work..

is all i can find in ubb_forum.cgi - i have ubb 6.0, and nothing shows up, i have installed it all correctly. but it doesnt work, my url to board is:
http://cncrev.virtualgn.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi

please take a look, and help me out. i really need this hack, thanks.



[edited to help my vision - sorry]

CNCR you have to clear your cache for it to work.

Amy

well..duh! i've did that like 50 million times...

like i said, the code above is all i could find close to what is stated in the Readme.

i have 6.0. not 6.1!

How can I add this hack to the main forum view also? Like it was possible in previous UBB versions.

if im not mistaken, its already displayed on the main page...

[just wanted to mention, that this hack worked fine. just installed and upgraded together with my other webmaster a 5.44 board to 6.01, installed the icon-hack as well as the who is online-script and everything works like a .. well, you say.. charme? i'm absolutely happy - thanks for doing a great job here @ ubbdev.com!]
chris

Yes but I don't want those topics to be displayed. Only the person who has done the last post.

Works great in my 6.02 update done just now. Thank you for the great hack, which is one of my favorites!

hm, try it with multiple pages, then tell us, if it works or not.

Yah, just found the error. Oops! Is there a fix for this yet?

nope! allen said that he will check it as soon as possible.

Yea clicking on for example the last post by users username when the topic is 3 pages long it just takes ya to the 1st page.

v6.02

Confirmed.

This does not function properly in 6.02.

Could someone tell me how to add this to the front page. I removed the topic links that came with the UBB6 but I would like to add the text that shows who has posted last.

~polite bump~

Sorry not having this problem. You guys can go to this forum on my board, there are a couple 3 page topics and they go to the right place, and yes this is Version 6.02.
