The graemlins aren't working for me. http://www.ivegeta.com/ I only modified the output of public_ubbnews.pl and that's it.

Most everything works great. Exept when I attempted to post a numbered list.
It removed the numbers and replaced them with regular bullets.

Ok, I've never worked with SSI calls before. I've installed the news hack and the control panel portion is working. Now, how do I get it to call the file up when the board loads??
Never mind, I figured it out. Only, I had to change the ssi call to this:
The install docs had it as follows:
Without the slash in front of the 'cgi-bin' portion it would not run...????

Zip file has been updated. This fixed its inability to use strict, and some fixes for problems when updating the ubb, the main page goes blank sometimes. This may fix that. I want template submissions! If you can make some email me, [email protected]. You'll get credit. Thanks!

I have it up and running, however, it's not updating the messages when you reload the page. It hasn't put up any new messages since Friday, the 1st. I even recreated the news file and it still will not grab any messages newer than 2/1/02...?????

Maybe this ISN'T production code if this is real bugs.
Trucker: Make sure you created a ubbnews directory in your cgi directory and set permissions properly (777, all read/write/execute)
dbode: Permissions problem I wager.
Narcoleptic: Surely not this hack that did that. Reset permissions on your noncgi directory.

Zip file updated. Now adds the header insert, fixed some minor quirks and stuff. Upload both ubbnews and public_ubbnews.pl to the proper directories.

I completely redid the hack and now it's working just fine. I must have missed something originally when I installed it. Oh well, it's working just as I had hoped. If you wish to see it: Truckers Road

I need to know what is the proper way to post the Forums in this section
(News Forums:
Specify the forums you want to grab topics from. ( separate them with spaces ) )
Whenever i do it it says i didn't specify the correct forum. Eventhough i used the exact forum name case sensitive.

Hi,

Thanks

Hi Greg,
I know we have to call that <-#exec --> command but I don't know where to put it. I know that these SSI call only works in .shtml file. We don't have any .shtml file in the UBB at all. Should we create one and put this command inside? I mean how does it all work together? Can you explain alittle more.
Sorry, I am new to this SSI, please patient with me.
Thanks Greg

And is this what gets added into the template: "...cp.cgi?ubb=view_newssessions&r=$ran"

Hello Greg, thanks for this hack, ive used it on 4 ubb versions now. I am posting for a request. The date format on a standard install displays the date in a number only format (ie: 02-10-2002). I wanted to request a date which displays the month in its full-name form. (ie: February 10th, 2002). Ive done this hack on all the prior ubbnews releases. And, its getting old Here is an example of a hacked ubbnews hack, displaying a full-name date (as well as a divider): http://www.altereddestiny.net Also, if possible, the addition of an option to add a page divider would be fantastic. Thank you again, --Corona

Bug found:
Install text doesn't mention what to do with the included vars_wordlets_mods.cgi file included. Theres also a field inside the included vars_wordlets_mod.cgi which doesn't need to exist -- key is named: mod_wordlets.
Also, minor spelling error exist in cp_ubbnews_add_newssession.pl and cp_ubbnews_edit_newssession.pl. Status is misspelled as Satus.
I'll ship ya my ubbnews files after i hack the full-name date into them.

Heres my quick and dirty way to get the month to display with a full-name. in ubbnews.cgi: ## find: # strip off images - DONT. # $name_space{topic_body} =~ s/ ]+?>//ig;
##Add below:
($name_space{GetMonth}, $name_space{GetDate}, $name_space{GetYear}) = split(/-/, $name_space{topic_date});
my @UbbnewsMonths = ("January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December");
$name_space{topic_date} = $UbbnewsMonths[($name_space{GetMonth} -1)] . " " . $name_space{GetDate} . ", " . $name_space{GetYear};

In: "use vars qw(%vars_ubbnews %vars_ubbnews_sessions);"
should this be:
"use vars qw(%vars_ubb_news %vars_ubbnews_sessions);"
When I made that change, I got in the control panel! Yeay!

bug -- when using ssi to call the news, the body text color within the news appears black, regardless of style settings. Also, body text does not follow style template text size setting.
To fix:
## in public_ubbnews.pl
## find:
$name_space->{topic_body}
## replace with:
$name_space->{topic_body}

Me too...
Also, does this automatically create a sidebar or do I have to install the sidebar first? ... Can I decide where I want this to appear?... right, left, top, bottom? ... is it on the front page only or can i have it in every forum?

This hack puts news posted in a single forum YOU set on the main page of your site... There SHOULDN'T be any indication this exists if you dont add the code to your index page.

I DID add the code to my page... and there is NO table or news or anything... I set it up to pull from forums... headlines only... yes, I put only the forum numbers seperated by spaces... I followed your installation instructions word for word... did not add anything or subtract anything... I did exactly as I was told... and I have NOTHING!... please do not patronize... I thought this place was for assistance... and learning... I didn't know that a pre-requisite was to be an expert... if I were an expert, I wouldn't need your assistance, now would I? ...

No Kel.
Try this:

Remove the spaces if UBB added them in the above code.

behold my news: http://gknet.twistedanime.net/dump/news.shtml twice I get an: [an error occurred while processing this directive] In the .shtml file I added: [code][/code]Ofcourse the first one doesn't work, that one is for .cgi files only, right? But the second one?? I thought I chmod everything OK. Also creating an news session worked perfect. Does anybody know what the problem is? thanks in advance

This hack works as directed. If you don't know how to use SSI, that's honestly not my problem. Ask your systems admin how to use SSI properly, because it varries.

{sigh}... I did everything exactly as instructed... called up the ssi exactly as you posted above... tried both ways "just in case"... checked with my server to make sure I did it right according to their instructions... everything went smooth as silk... EXCEPT!... I got the same error as Lauren... [an error occurred while processing this directive] When I checked my error log to see why I got this message, I saw various different errors (listed above) depending on what I tried in order to fix it... As I am not the only one having this same exact problem, I don't think it's me... I'm frustrated beyond belief with this because it all seems so simple and should be... and despite my efforts to figure it all out and get some assistance, it is still not working for me... I sincerely apologize for passing my frustrations on to those of you who have tried to help... I DO appreciate your time and efforts...

This might help . . . I was having the same problems as Kel, Lauren etc., but I got out of jail - not sure if what I went through will help but for what it’s worth, here it is: I was editing my html in frontpage (I know, I know) and when I pasted the "exec cgi="cgi-bin/ubb/ubbnews.cgi?ns_id=1" command, I kept getting wild characters. So I cleaned it up using dreamweaver (trial) and then logged on to my host server suspecting that front page extensions might be an issue. I had never turned them on but I guessed that given the popularity of the prog. – they might be ‘on’ by default – they were so off they came. I then read about html parsing problems and a little hack to the .htaccess file when using the subdir – htdocs. (mine’s at the same level as cgi-bin) So I modified the .htaccess as per the text below Quote Because it is very resource intensive to have the server parse all HTML files it serves, it is common not to parse .html files for SSI's. You can make it parse all files on your site however by adding the following line to your .htaccess file in your htdocs directory. AddHandler server-parsed .html This will make all subdirectories (i.e., your entire site) parse *.html files. End quoteThere was a bit more info about ssi here ‘http://powweb.com/support/ssi.html’ including a simple (time) script which worked for me, demonstrating that I could ssi to html docs on my server. But I still kept getting - [an error occurred while processing this directive] – during the ubb call. Finally I checked this link “http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/ssi.html#includingtheresultsofacgiprogram” which referred to outputting the results of a cgi script, and I noticed the (#include virtual="/cgi-bin/etc.etc) variation as detailed by Greg. So I changed mine and “VOILA” Now I’m not sure which of these steps cured the problem, I had tried the (#include virtual="/cgi-bin/) earlier without success so I suspect it might have been a combination of crap html in F/Page, F/P extensions and the .htaccess – I’m not skilled at all when it comes to understanding how servers work so I may be way off base – but anyhow – it worked in the end. Now – can anybody advise on how best to format the output – it’s taking up a lot of room (even with headers only) especially with the date in there. I’ve tried to change the style template and reduce the font but I’ll still struggle to match my page I guess it’ll have to wait until tomorrow - it’s 3:45am in Sydney and I’m going blind  – g’night all PS - I just had to re-type ALL this again - I lost the lot because I'd included html parentheses in the post - not happy

Call the latest posts...
If it generated a .inc file or something you definitelt could... Does it generate a file which gets updated, or not?

You can print the generated cgi file in a .php page, use something like we do on our front page:

Is there some way to remove the: : Before the posts? I've removed the 'forum text' since it doesn't look right on our site, however it still has the : and I can't figure out how to remove it... (see http://www.aagames.co.uk to see what I mean...)

OK - all works well - BUT - I cannot find a way for the output to conform to the nominated style template settings. It will pick up any changes to font colour – but not face or size??
I can adjust the font face (only) by embedding font info into the receiving page before uploading. When I “view source” on the output page, every UBBnews entry shows
I’ve tried Corona’s (public_ubbnews.pl) variation but no luck - HELP – as it stands it’s about as much use as an ashtray on a harley given that my output page is all size 1 arial

Right, the code MUST be inserted MANUALLY into your HTML file. You can NOT insert it using dreamweaver or frontpage, and uploading it via frontpage extensions is really a bad idea in general.

Use the url to the script, not the path

Thanks Greg - but no good news I'm afraid. Went through the whole routine again - no change - situation as detailed before In my case I simply cannot get it to pick up font face or size settings/changes from the style template. I'm running 6.2.1 - anything there? Any chance you could have a look at my setup?? Thanks for everything so far. IGNORE - see next post . . .

Hi Greg – ALL is well I found the little “culprit” Line 91 of public_ubbnews.pl shows: quote:
return qq~
$name_space->{forum_title}: $name_space->{topic_subject} ( $name_space->{topic_date} $name_space->{topic_time} )
~;
}
I amended this as follows:
quote:
return qq~
$name_space->{forum_title}: $name_space->{topic_subject} ( $name_space->{topic_date} $name_space->{topic_time} )
~;
}
and the problem went away!! – yeeeaahh – happy puppy
Thanks for your help . . .

For Allen Ayers: Thanks for your help. UBB News works perfectly at http://www.karass.nu/cgi-bin/ubb/ubbnews.cgi?ns_id=1 I needed to add a .htaccess file to the directory, though to permit me to run ssi from the cgi-bin. My hosting company did not provide that by default. I also had to make a .htaccess file to let me run cgi programs from a non-cgi directory. Those of you having problems might have to look into this. Finally, I could not use the "execute" command, but needed to make it into an "include" like this: However, when I tried to call it from a php page, this is what I got: http://www.karass.nu/ubbphptest.php I'm so close, that it's frustrating, and would appreciate any assistance! Thanks!

You have to put the URI to the file, rather than the path, if that helps... I got it running fine on PHP.

hello umm not sure if this would be a problem or not but. i hacked the 2 files it says to hack, uploaed them + the other varios files to the directories and such, chmodded them but there is nothing in my cp to set up anything?? so i can't do anything further. i get no errors anywhere but there is nothing there. also in your instructions u have: [/code]this is what my cp has in it not sure if it should or not .
[code] well that is about all there was only the 2 files too hack so not much code to mess up on my part. i did update the vars wordlet mods files but that did'nt do anything. i'll wait for a answer or mabye a point in the right direction. oh 1 more thing. in your instructions u have this. - Upload files: cp_ubbnews.cgi ( cgi-bin ) chmod 0755 ubbnews.cgi ( cgi-bin ) chmod 0755 vars_ubbnews_sessions.cgi ( vars dir ) chmod 0777 cp.cgi ( cgi-bin ) chmod 0755 cp_common.pl ( templates ) cp_ubbnews_sessions.pl ( templates ) cp_ubbnews_add_newssession.pl ( templates ) cp_ubbnews_edit_newssession.pl ( templates ) public_ubbnews.pl ( templates ) but in your zip file there is a extra file vars_ubb_news.cgi i did upload this and chmodded it to 777 would this be wrong.

I install the last beta script (29.March) on a fresh installed V6.2.1.1
Seems to work but I notice the folling:
One setting made in control panel seems to be ignored. My generated news-config files looks like:
[code][/code]Settings for Charlimit seems to be ignored. I enter for a test '500' but it will not be saved. Know issue ?

It's at the bottom of the 'Primary Serttings' list box. If you don't have it, make sure you hacked cp_common.pl

I'm using UBB 6.2.1.1 and i'm having trouble with this hack. I've reinstalled it a few times and i've followed the directions EXACTLY but I keep getting the same error message whenever I try and load ubbnews.cgi. Here it is:
Content-type: text/html
Software error:
Can't obtain exclusive lock: Bad file number at /usr/local/www/virtual/******/***/******/ubb_lib_files.cgi line 566.
Someone please help because I really could use this hack on my website. Thanks.

Now I set up a testboard with UBB V6.2.1.2 and modification wordlets. Nothing else. Cache and accelerator is enabled. I install last beta script and it look like this: Test Homepage with UBB News On my production Board with UBB V6.1.0.3 and the script V 2.0.0b1.3 it work perfect and look like: Production Homepage I like to switch to V6.2. the V6.1 dosn't work well with ubbnews and cache turned on. Any suggestion how I can fix the display output of the new script ?

I install only a fresh copy of the board, then mod_wordlets_v1_6_ubb62.zip (AUTHORS: DPK & Leshrac WEBSITE: www.qasic.com/ubbhacks.html) Nothing else. Then I apply the UBBnewsbeta and it work. I can create newssessions. But only the output of the ssi is my problem. The borders and colours will be supressed. Can It be that i must use a .css to display the output in the right format ? Is there somwhere a doc who describe this ?

Same here, it don't use the style vars. But if works, if I set the used style in the CGI. I've replaced But I don't know why, this should be both the same.

Please don't ask for it anymore - it's not allowed to distribute the UBB files.

Ok... if you're going to rewrite this... can you make it so that it lists the posts in the order that they are made (most recent first) and NOT in order of the forum numbers? ... If I set it up to grab 20 posts from 10 forums, it grabs two from 1, two from 2, two from 3... and so on... in that order... so it's NOT the latest posts... it's just the last two posts in each forum... is there a way to change that?
*edit*... actually, it's only grabbing the name of the thread in the forum... not the actual post itself in the thread... and it lists that thread with the date and time that it was originally posted... NOT the date and time of the last post in the thread... any way to fix this? Any way to make this more on the idea of "Today's Active Topics"?... know what I mean?
