UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.2x] StickyThreads 1.6

Oh, I should note this is from the:

########################################
##=======================================
the following is for those people who do not already have the mods wordlet kit installed. (ie: you do not have the vars_wordlets_mods.cgi file). do the following and return to above:
##=======================================
########################################

section...this line is actually refferenced twice, the first time earlier in the instructions, and is correct. I found all those sections sucessfully...going through the manual wordlet mod thing install according to the text instructions...

...and here's the second error, and the explanation for missing functions such as polls and recent visitors:

# find:

foreach my $file (qw(display misc email time search pm registration template_match wordlets wordlets_err wordlets_img wordlets_date)) {

# replace with:

foreach my $file (qw(display misc email time search pm registration template_match wordlets wordlets_err wordlets_img wordlets_date wordlets_mods)) {

...this is also not found. It is:

foreach my $file (qw(display misc email time search pm registration pntf poll template_match wordlets wordlets_err wordlets_img wordlets_date wordlets_pntf wordlets_poll)) {

...so your new code is based on old code.

Still say I installed it incorrectly?

Continuing...

...and the next step is wrong too:

################
cp.cgi
################

# find:

wordlets_date)

# and replace with:

wordlets_date wordlets_mods)

also not found. It is:

wordlets_date wordlets_pntf wordlets_poll wordlets_email)

This is going to come off as harsh, so please understand I don't mean it harshly.

Use your brain!

You've found the right lines. Now look what changed between the old and the new ones according to the hack, then make similar changes to the updated lines in the UBB.

If it doesn't look right, or you aren't sure if what you think you're doing is the right thing, then ask.

i didnt think i could be any clearer than putting this warning in a few versions ago:

[code][/code]but i guess i was wrong.

...and now it works!

Jordo: please provide a link to where this hack can be downloaded for 6.2.1 as I cannot find it. dont just say qasic or here, because I've looked.

I'll talk to qasic tonight about porting it. Shouldn't be too hard.

Look man, I didn't mean to rag on you, but the fact is is unclear documentation. Just fix it, and it would be great! For someone with a stock 6.2.1 install, it just doesn't work by the book.

It would really help if you specified what the hack is called, since it's not called what you term it in the instructions and there are two available with very similar names however only one works...and that there isn't a 6.2.1 version out, but that's ok because the 6.1 file still works.

Since the manual instructions aren't updated in the ST instructions for the mod, you might include the version they are based on and a note to watch for additional commands when performing the Replace functions in the instructions.

I wouldn't have any problems with the way it is, if you didn't specifically call this version compatible with 6.2.1

Why can't someone just update the wordlets mod hack? I mean it ain't that hard to do. As for me I don't know what to change I'm still learning this crap.

Also if your gonna release a hack, you should put the VALID and WORKING instructions not old crap that needs to be modified ALONG with everything else your modifing.

I'm not lazy or anything (I've been modding my forums by hand cus I don't like multihack) I just don't know exactly what to change and what to look for just yet.

If someone could update the wordlets mods hack that would be real nice to alot of us n00b "hackers"

FYI - http://www.qasic.net/main.cgi?action=details;file=mod62

thats great. I finaly got it installed my self, but that helps anyone else that doesn't know what to do.

Nice. Easy to set up manually. And works perfect

Im wondering if someone can help me with one thing tho, when you make a topic sticky. You get the sticky as "Sticky:" would be nice if someone could tell me where this is changed. Cause I want to change it so it will be "post name (Sticky)"

Any help would be most appreciated
Thanks

public_forum_page.pl ($sticky), vars_wordlets_mods.cgi

Thanks LK
I got one more question how do you remove the ":" that appears after sticky ? Im sure this is a stupid question but I can't (edited a "t" to can't) seem to find out where it is located so I can remove it.

Oops, I thought it's in the Wordlet...

ubb_forum.cgi, "$sticky = "$vars_wordlets_mods{sticky_threads_title}:";".

Thanks again LK

Might it be possible that the multihack file isn`t compatible with Ultimate Bulletin BoardTM 6.2.0 Beta Release 1.0?

When I am analyzing the MultiHack file it tells me that step 14 cannot be completed due to some lines which cannot be found.

Is this common knowledge or might it be an error on my site?

Thanks in advance!

Sounds like an error with your code, as I just analyzed it and it tests fine.

might want to upgrade from beta 1 to the final though... or 6.2.1...

Tnx for replying.
I am unable to manualy find the lines mentioned in line 14 as well. I will upgrade the board and try again, most likly that is the issue.

Everything Hacked Smoothly. but when I try to "Sticky" something it says this:

FYI
I can't find template 'public_top_topic'.

I realy need this hack up becuase I am going to install the Application Forum next and it needs this so please help ASAP thanks!

~Speedy~

did you upload public_top_topic.pl in your Templates folder?
did you upload it in ASCII mode?

FYI
Invalid input! One or more items submitted in the form are not in the proper format.

Does this hack still render the option to create a new template unviable or is that fixed now?

Ubb 6.0 series

I have the Sticky working now but i tried to Edit an template style and i got this msg:

"You did not complete all required fields.

But.. i dont have those fields to complete! And the weird thing is that when i am creating a new Style they are showed but at Edit Mode they just disapear

I need help please. Maybe some error at my update? I dont have the backup anymore

Thorin - if you recently upgraded to 6.2.1 make sure you uploaded the newest cp_ templates...

I did

And.. all the fields appear when im creating a New Style.... but when i try to edit (even this new one) they doesnt appear

there must have been some error in upgrading to 6.2.1. as it uses one file to generate the new style and edit style templates, it doesnt make sense that they would be different. try starting over with a stock vars_style_core.cgi and carefully redoing the hack additions, it is possible if something was put in the wrong place some parts might not show, though i would think it would affect the new style form as well...

Thanx Jordo but didnt work

But... i fixed it!!!

I openned cp_vars_style_core.pl and cp_vars_style.pl and made a comparation btwn the 2 files searching for the lines that was missing at vars_style.pl copying from style_core and pasting into style_pl and now it is working perfectly!!!

Thanx everyone

Thanks for this hack, Jordo. It worked flawlessly on my 6.2.1 board.

Works great on UBB 6.2.1!

Thanks!

when I try to stick a topic this is what it says:

quote:

---

Invalid input! One or more items submitted in the form are not in the proper format.

---

HybridPWF - that happens when you click the top topic button, or when you submit your choice on the top topic page?

hmm method="POST" is in the default template, so if it hasnt been modified it shouldnt be the culprit. though to check, when you submit the choice, on the page with the error - is there anything after ultimatebb.cgi (like ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=...) or is it just ultimatebb.cgi?
have you modified public_top_topic.pl?

also, does bumping the topic work? i assume this is a 6.2.1 right?

sorry, post at the wrong topic.
