UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.2x] Chat Mod 1.0

My first mod, ported to 6.2

Here we go:

Name: Chat Mod

Description: Lets you chat with jIRC. It has full CP support, it's 100% wordletized, it automatically gets the nick of the user/GuestXXXXX (5 random digits) if it's a guest, replaces smilies with real smilies, shows how many people are currently chatting and even invites people to the chatroom (by Recent Visitors, thanks to Olson).

Demo: http://www.lkubb.dns2go.com

Link: ZIP File or MultiHack File

Requirements: UBB™ 6.2.0 Beta Release 1.0 , Mod Wordlets , jPilot License (unless you want to see an "unregistered" line after every line)

Special thanks to: Ryan Olson for Invitation Script, dj_rava for the Admin Command Buttons idea and Troy for MultiHack, hosting and supporting me all the way .

Screenshots: Forum Summary , Chat Window , CP

your quick

hell im not upgrading t'll 6.2 is full and final

I agree Mr. Ace!
But I ain't going anywhere without LK's chat mod! So it's nice to know it's ready for us.
Thanks LK!!
Bandit

ZIP file updated, there was some problem with WOL.

Rehack ubb_forum_summary.cgi.

is anyone else having a problem with the multihacked version installed into 6.2 beta 1.0?
install apparenttly goes perfect, but it produces an error with the ultimatebb.cgi file after?

MHK file updated, it used some WOL (not PNTF) code in ultimatebb.cgi

there's still a problem LK

have you fixed it now? what was it?
I fixed mod wordlets and that works fine, but I still have the same problem as before

No, there isn't because it worked in my test board

Just installed this, cleared cache and get an error when trying to access my board:
Execution of ultimatebb.cgi aborted due to compilation errors.

UBB Test Board: http://www.barox2.f2s.com/ultimatebb.cgi

Did you install Mod Wordlets?

missed that - trying it now.

ok just downloaded and installed your mod_wordlets 1.5
Still getting same error on main UBB page as above.
Installing the mods_wordlets, I already had the file vars_wordlets_mods.cgi so all I did was edit it so it included _ => q~~,
Is this right? or am I supposed to substitute names for !hackname! or something.

No, you don't need this line Do you have AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, MSN, etc etc?

call me thick again, but what do you mean ?

Enter http://messenger.microsoft.com , download the program and use your Hotmail/real mail account. Then PM me/post your ID.

I PM'd you.

Done, he didn't install Mod Wordlets

thanks LK, seems to be working fine now, a few questions:

1. If I register and pay for this jirc can I then use the same registration number when I impliment this hack on my main board as well as my test board? ie would I have to pay for it twice?

2. You say I didn't have wordlet mod installed, I thought I did, can you tell me EXACTLY what you had to do to get my board running as I want to put this on my main board now.

1. If it's from the same domain.

2. You didn't install it at all, only added that line to vars_wordlets_mods.cgi I've added it to cp.cgi, cp_common.pl, cp_wordlets.cgi and ultimatebb.cgi.

in the install file for mods_wordlets it first asks if you have a file vars_wordlets_mods which I did, then proceed to step 3, add that one line then proceed to step 5 and that's all you have to do ?!??

Even though you had the file, you should've chose you don't

ah. so to be clear before I screw up my main board , all I do is step 4 and nothing else ?

'ignores LK'

About to purchase the jirc chat. Just incase I make a boob here what's the domain I should enter at registration, is it the exact location of where the chat thing will be, eg:
http://www.campbellwebdesign.co.uk/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=chat
or is it above without ?ubb=chat, or is it my cp address or what?
Please be clear as I don't want to have to pay for it twice!
thanks

You won't pay twice anyway

Make it: campbellwebdesign.co.uk

LK help, just installed modwordlets and chat on my live board and getting compilation errors. Will PM you details.

Tried to sort this out with LK but we couldn't figure it out. Everything works fine except Send Invitation feature, says its sent invitation but no invitation pops up for person you've sent it to. Anybod else having this problem or know how to fix it let us know.

Will this hack work with 6.2.0 final ?

Greetings.
I installed this mod in my site, but the chat applet never loads, so far that is the only thing that doesn't work (yes I know it's also the most impotant one ). When i run the mouse over the window, it says "load:class not found"
Any Ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Any help is appreciated.

Rabriar

Make sure you uploaded the jirc_* files to NonCGI directory.

I did.
I think the problem might be with the configuration in the CP board.
My parameters might be wrong.
I left the ones that came with it, but still not good.
and the configuration that jIRC gives you does not match the parameters in the CP board.

I'll keep trying, in the mean time, any suggestions will be appreciated.

Rabriar

Nevermind, I got tired of trying
So I modified script to work with my chat program.
Great Hack!

After installing this hack TWICE and it still giving the aborted due to compilation error I am posting here.

Now there are differences in the mod_wordlets_install instructions.

It says to find in ultimatebb.cgi:

display misc email time search pm registration template_match wordlets wordlets_err wordlets_img wordlets_date

That line does NOT exist as it is there.

The line that does exist is:

display misc email time search pm registration pntf template_match wordlets wordlets_err wordlets_img wordlets_date wordlets_pntf

To which I am having to guess as there are no clear instructions, that you add wordlets_mods chat to the end of that line.

Even doing that and following EVERYTHING in the hack it simply DOES NOT WORK on 6.2 final. Also the instructions throughout the hack itself are some what confuseing. When you say that mod_wordlets haven't been installed, would they come up in the control panel under modifications wordlets if not installed? I had to make a slight correction through the control panel as the connecting message was blank. I have cleared my cache. What exactly in clear instructions do I have to do to get it to actually work?

This is the only hack that I haven't been able to install. It seems to me that the mod kit 1.5 is only designed for ubb 6.1 as that is what it states beside it on the download page, yet its a requirement for a 6.2 board, why is this??

Please help clear this up.

Christopher.

Welcome to UBBDev Christopher, do you have ICQ/AIM/Yahoo/MSN?

Hello LK,

Yes my icq number is: 15359024

I have even now tried the multi-hack to do the hacking of the files and it resulted in the same problem.

Regards

Christopher.

hi

i have installed this, cleared cache and get an error when trying to access my board:
Execution of ultimatebb.cgi aborted due to compilation errors.

i have installed vars_wordlet_mods correctly..

Please help me

thx

You get that error when you add this below i don't know why because i get it too.

(if ($ubb eq 'chat') {
&RequireCode("$vars_config{CGIPath}/ubb_chat.cgi");
&chat;
exit(0);
}

if ($vars_chat{Invite}) {
if ($ubb eq 'newinvite') {
&RequireCode("$vars_config{CGIPath}/ubb_chat.cgi");
&invite_form("$vars_wordlets_mods{invite_message}");
exit(0);
}

if ($ubb eq 'invite') {
&GetOrPost("POST");
&RequireCode("$vars_config{CGIPath}/ubb_chat.cgi");
&invite;
exit(0);
}
})

Something here causes the compilation error everything else works when i take this out. But ofcourse the hack doesn't if i take this out!
