Even though you say 'Original authors: Axeone, LK', thanks for crediting me in the page. (?ubb=authority_list) :rolleyes:

I don't require being credited just if I originally made it, but if you're crediting yourself, you can also credit the original authors.

Sorry, I credited you on the page too.

I will be doing the ssi for 2.2.1 so stay tuned guys. I hope to get the ssi done on sunday.(cst)

Works great! Good job.

Good hack, working great. No problems yet found on 6.20

does this only work for 6.2 beta release 1.2 or does it work for regualr 6.2 too ?

Yep it works on All 6.2.0 versions. Has been tested on 6.2.1 too.

Still has that color bug from Axeone's versions

Find:
-----

face="$vars_style{FontFace}">

Replace with:
-------------

face="$vars_style{FontFace}">

Thanks LK. Updated to 2.2.1 with Mega Mod Instructions and Bugfixes. The Mega Mod instructions are not tested and I did it pretty quick so there might be mistakes in there. Please report them.

============
In ubb_lib.cgi Find:
============

$MainButtons = qq!
$MyProfileLink $ifmyreg $RegisterLink $ifregsearch $SearchLink $ifsearchrest $vars_wordlets{faq_link} | $vars_wordlets_mods{ML_memberlist_link} | $vars_wordlets{forum_home_link}

==============================
Add Right After (On same line)
==============================

| $vars_wordlets_mods{auth_list}

========================================

In 6.2.x this has been replaced with:

sub MainButtonOptions {
my($this_forum, @items);
if (exists $in{'f'}) {
$this_forum = ";search_forum=$in{f}";
} else {
$this_forum = "";
}

# Okay, everyone whining about the main button options being
# hard to add to can now cut it out. :-D

if ($vars_registration{DisplayRegistration} ne 'NO') {
# My Profile
push(@items, qq($vars_wordlets{profile_link}));

if($vars_registration{SuspendRegister} ne "true") {
# Register
push(@items, qq($vars_wordlets{register_link}));
} # end if
} # end if

if ($vars_search{AllowSearch} ne 'FALSE') {
# Search
push(@items, qq($vars_wordlets{search_link}));
}

# FAQ
push(@items, qq($vars_wordlets{faq_link}));
# Forum Home
push(@items, qq($vars_wordlets{forum_home_link}));

return join(" | ", @items)
} # end MainButtonOptions

So this step should be:

============
In ubb_lib.cgi Find:
============

# Forum Home
push(@items, qq($vars_wordlets{forum_home_link}));

==============================
Add Right After
==============================

#Authority list
push(@items, qq($vars_wordlets_mods{auth_list}));

========================================
In ubb_forum_summary.cgi Find:
========================================

BTW, for the CP integration, you can use 'Mod CP Addon' hack

Just installed this and I am getting the following when I try to go my UBB. I can't get to the forum summary page at all:

FYI
We are not accepting new registrations at this time.

» Please use your browser's back button to return.

And who said it's this hack's fault?! Make sure everything is fine at CP - Registration Settings

It was working fine before I installed this hack, and its fine now that I removed it.

FYI - I have registration turned off, We do not allow registrations on our site, we add people based on if they meet our requirements for roleplaying. They have to submit an application first.

Oh, I didn't see you said 'forum summary'. It's something from the 6.0 series, when I didn't know Perl almost at all

Instead of:(in both ubb_forum_summary.cgi and ubb_auth_list.cgi)

Thanks again LK, I totally forgot the 6.0 code had that problem with it. I thought it worked perfectly since I didn't see any complaints. ZIP updated with that code. Make sure you upgrade if you using 2.2.0. These are essential bugfixes.

Edit-Thanks to MrStormyNights too, ZIP updated again. Hmm I though I had updated that code. Anyway...
Also, it won't work with 6.2.0 Beta's anymore besides for 6.2.1 Beta 1.0

What would I do to only add the new page, and not the thing at the bottom of the forum home?

~Jon

Remove the code added in public_forum_summary.pl and ubb_forum_summary.cgi and just leave the link at the top of forum home.

LD you keeping ecf on the newest version???

Eep, Nope. I'll upgrade it soon for you.

Does anyone have a working link to this because www.extremechatforums.com has be down for some time thanks.

I'm sorry about that. I'll try get it up on a different server. The link will work again soon. Sorry for the Inconvienience.

Can we change the style of the page? (?ubb=authority)

edit: I know also see an error . On the mainpage under [Authority List] mods won't show up.

It says: Administrators: Lauren
Moderators: [nothing], and yes I know sure that there's somebody mod.

On ?ubb=authority the mods do show up!

Anothere problem:
I installed now also the megamod addon and I get the same problem, but the megamods doesn't show up in ?ubb=authoiry neither

url= http://gknet.twistedanime.net/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi

I hope somebody can help me! Thanks in advance

Thats a weird prob. I can't spot a mistake in the code. Are you sure you have all the code required in ubb_forum_summary.cgi?

EDIT-Looking at the forum, Sortalic (the mod) status is Junior Member, not Moderator. In ubb=authority the mods do show up, but no Super Mods. Do you have Mega Mod installed?

Yes I have, I thought Laurem (me ) was the admin, sortalic the MegaModerator (sub-admin) and voldemort (a moderator. But I could make a mistake here. I'll check everything twice now

edit: the world is full of unespected things . The moderators now work, but the megamod still won't work. I'll rehacking it soon

It could be my MegaMod addon. I rushed it and it was un-tested. But re-install the MegaMod for me, just to make sure. Thanks.

I allready planed to do that . I'm now starting with it . Or else I try the megamod addon for authority list wich comes with the megamod zip file. (if it makes any difference )

Don't use the one in the MegaMod Zip. It's for the old version.

I rehacked only the *.cgi files and now I get:

I find it most of the time when i get that error is to delete the blank line below the line:

# $Id: ubb_forum_summary.cgi,v 1.3 2002/01/31 23:34:47 cvscapps Exp $

ok, i'll try. thank you

euhm...i'm affraid there isn't any space after it

Do you edit ubb_forum_summary.cgi in the MegaMod hack? or did you re-hack the Auth List?

No (you don't edit ubb_forum_summary.cgi)
No (I didn't rehack the authority-list hack, why should I? That hack works great )

I'm glad it does. It's just that MegaMod addon that worries me.
I'm going to finalise the CP addon with LK's hack and maybe SSI and then we can finalise this hack.

OK, good luck
