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

I just wanted to asy that I have the same problem with the multipages ...

I'm using UBB v6.01

It's working fine for me as well. I am on 6.02

Guys DOUBLECHECK you are using the code from Allen's first post in this thread, it DOES work!

hm, Slurpee ... strange. I've installed it, i think, 5 times, and yes i took the file from Allens first post. It doesn't work for many people.

Ok guys, now we know why it doesn't show the correct pages: The script doesn't hop into this query:

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

Don't ask me why! The funny thing is, $total_pages equals sometimes more than 1, but the loop gets not executed. I checked it out with a simple print "$total_pagesn"; - it does not show any values. When I set the print-command above the if-block, it prints out the correct number of pages. It seems that anything isn't ok with the if-block. But what? I don't see any wrong things in it ...

Ok, I think I have it. In Allen's version, the if-block I writed I my last posting is out of the if ($total_posts > $vars_display{HTMLDisplayMax}) { ... }. And that's the cause of our problems. $total_pages is defined with a my-definition, so out of the if ($total_posts > $vars_display{HTMLDisplayMax}) { ... }-thing $total_pages = 0! There are 2 ways to fix the problem: 1st Delete the my out of the my $total_pages = int ($total_posts / $vars_display{HTMLDisplayMax}); or 2nd set the if ($total_pages > 1) { ... }-block into the if ($total_posts > $vars_display{HTMLDisplayMax}) { ... }-thing.

I used the 2nd way, so my code in ubb_forum.cgi is:

Can anyone else verify this?

q

it's better than that. You don't need this line at all:


because, if the number of posts is greater than the max allowed per page, there is GOING to be more than one page.

I removed it a while back and moved the page number code into the main if block. It's been working like a charm.

Amy

Ok, that exactly must i change, so it will work correct.

Thanks, amy! Can you post exactly what the new snippet of code looks like so we don't err on making the changes?

please... added back here does show the error...

I commented out all three lines, amy, (the if statement and opening and closing braces) and the behaviour does not change.

Any other ideas? Perhaps a fix to the source code, so that I can re-download it? Or even better a quick "how to upgrade" doc.

ahhh, I used roodah's change and it fixed it here... I'll document it and post here this evening when I have it uploaded again.

For those with it already installed, change this section in ubb_forum.cgi to this:

Yeah Allen, thanks for making me look bad.

OK, file linked to on front page has been updated, plus it is now using the vars_wordlets_mods.cgi most of you already have, if you don't, then check DPK's Mod for it, as we are working towards standardizing the wordlets files for modifications added.

Slurpee:

Hi, I just updated my UBB to 6.02 and went back and installed sevral of the hacks I collected including yours. I've ran into a problem; in private forums, when you click Show Topics from last 45 days, or higher, it brings up
This may not have been due to your hack, I currently have 6 hacks installed:
Anchor, last reply, News Fader, Custom Rank, and MODs Wordlets.cgi
Any Suggestions?

Hey Paul, not sure where your problem may be, but it isn't affecting us here (I just checked) - right now, we only have who's online and this one installed.

Nope just checked my forum, no private forum problem like that.

Could this be a CHMOD problem? I've tried reinstalling the hacks using a fresh upgrade zip.

I guess I'll just reinstall the whole board then try each hack one at a time.

Thank you Allen, that did the trick. Whew.

I can't get the "Latest Reply by" to display. It just displays : username

Here is a var_wordlets_mods.cgi file:
%vars_wordlets_mods = (
last_reply_by => "Last reply by",
statistic_header => "Statistic",
statistic_monthly_hits => "Monthly Hits:",
statistic_total_posts => "Total Posts:",
statistic_total_topics => "Total Topics:",
statistic_total_forums => "Total Forums:",
statistic_total_members => "Total Members:",
statistic_average_member_posts => "Average Posts of each Member:",
statistic_average_posts => "Average Posts Per Forum:",
statistic_average_topic => "Average Topics Per Forum:",
statistic_newest_member => "Last member to register is",
statistic_featured_member => "Featured member is",
);
1;

All the statistic stuff works!

UBB 6.02+statistics+latestreply+hypercells+viewcounter107e

hmmm.. can you set the wordlets in the cp? And do you have a link to the problem? What version are you running? need the info... you are the first to report this...

OK, I figured out my own problem...Since I wasn't using the file vars_wordlets_mods.cgi before, I had to add this statement to ultimatebb.cgi

require "$vars_config{VariablesPath}/vars_wordlets_mods.cgi";

I'm no programmer, but I don't understand why the statistic hack was working....

Any one try this in 6.03 yet? geez.. I just upgraded to 6.02 the other day too..lol.. can't win sometimes.

6.03 is fine for me on a board I hacked it on.

q

working with 6.03 here too

Argh. I've read through the previous posts and tried what a few suggested but to no avail. Any help?

Thanks! And I used the link from Allen's posts up front.

[Edit: 6.03 almost-fresh install]

[ April 10, 2001: Message edited by: NSA ]

It works for me...

Ahah I fixed it. Found the problem.

Okay in the CP, under General Display Settings, and under the "Max # of Posts displayed per page" there are all the settings and the bottom setting is "Posts Maximum Per Page". Thats what I chose, because I did not want multiple pages on my Bored.. however, I suppose this is a Bug? An error? Because I dont think it works the same as the "no maximum per page" that existed on 5.xx. Now I'm pretty dumb, but I changed it and that fixed my problem.

Any ideas? Three cheers to being bored and futzing around with options

Thanks. yes for people upgrading you should ut this into the install file too.
after adding this i was able to see last reply by. Thx jdearing

??????????????????????
how can i do:


after reply [and edit] go to the last post, and not to the first.


[add in ubb_lib_posting.cgi near line 830 ?]
????????????????????????

I think their was a mod about this. but it never got finished. i supose.

Just so everyone knows, this hack works perfectly on 6.04.

I agree.. tested ok on my 6.04 board.

i got this error

No member profile found for member number:

and no member number. i got some 0 bytes member files a couple of days ago, low on server space.

solved the problem. i changed the last post routine in ubb_forums.cgi to this

# begin last post hack
if ($last_post[1] eq "000000"){
$last_post_username = "";
}
else { $last_post_num = &GetUserNumber($last_post[2]);
if ($last_post_num ne '') {
# get latest public name for latest post replier!
my @user_profile = '';
if (-e "$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_mods{last_reply_by}: $last_post_username!;
} else {
$last_post_username = '';
}
}
# end last post hack

if anyone else gets this

edit: i think its a problem with the old "change username" hack i used, and with unregistered post
edit2: just making it easier to understand, i enclosed the code that opens the profile with an if that checks if the $last_post_num variable is not empty. when i entered the forum, there were some guests posts in the last posts (which not appeared in the topic listing).

SHW of this hack now available on my website: http://www.qasic.com/ubbhacks.html

I just apply the hack to my board and seems to work fine.
I don't get any "last reply by" or "by" i just get the username.....like in the picture.
how can i change it to "by:username"
i'm using ubb6.04c and i installed using lastreplyby202.shw

Newman try this

thanks i did installed the mods_wordlet and now is working fine !
Cheers !
