UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.1x] UBBNews 2.1.0

Hi,

Yeah I just got exactly the same error from v6.1B2, note that UBBNews was the first hack I installed.:

I notice nobody has bothered to fix it or even read the last complaint of this kind. PLEASE DO.

Sorry - GOD I'm lame =).

Yeah I see... data needs to propagate =)

..I added some features, and bugfixed this (the previous 6.0x version), but I never got a chance to release it, due to time constraints. If JB007 or MM would be interested in adding these things into the formal release, you know how to reach me .

Anyone have problems SSI'ng it through Front Page in a frame?

Hey Allen,

Have you seen this before:

Unable to create a new configuration file: No such file or directory at /home/virtual/future/home/httpd/cgi-bin/cp_ubbnews.cgi line 110.


This is when trying to create a new news session. Everything was hacked accordingly. When I looked at line 110 in CP_UBBNews.cgi as given in the zip file this is what it shows:

open(FILE, ">$vars_config{CGIPath}/ubbnews/vars_ubbnews_$lastnumber.cgi") || die "Unable to create a new configuration file: $!";

Still stuck... aaaaaaargh

Is this thread dead? Still looking for some help.

would it be possible to make a php version of this hack, since ssi/cgi do not load on *.php files? thanks/

I rehacked it and still get:

Unable to create a new configuration file: No such file or directory at /home/virtual/future/home/httpd/cgi-bin/cp_ubbnews.cgi line 110.

Help?! Running on a Unix Server now and can't seem to create a news thread in the CP.

Try chmoding (or re-chmoding) your files again. Should work.

Of course..

In Front Page 2000 I am trying to do an include page to bring in the news through a frame. I renamed the news file to .shtm and pull it through to the page... doesn't work

Any help?

Try .shtml .. SSI is configured differently for many different servers.

qasic

Not sure if it works on all servers (we're using IIS5) amd I provide no support for that, but it works nicely here...

Please reduce your signature image to 50x150 or less... thanks for understanding.

I modified my news file so it included:



Then saved the file as an .shtml file.
I then went into Front Page and tried to include the page in a news frame and it won't pull anything!

also my forum is on a unix server whilst my site itself is on NT. So what would the SSI call look like if I am trying to pull from one server to another?

you are trying to ssi an shtml page into another... why not just put the ssi on your news page?

Need to find a work around Allen. Qasic mentioned to me that you cannot SSI from one server to another. We went onto Unix for our forums for stablity but our site (the rest of it) is on NT. Is there no work arounds to be able to pull this information in???

If you can use php you can try the thing I posted for the other guy.

How do I utlize it for PHP then?

I tried applying that into the news.htm file and it still won't pull anything in.

Here is the link to the test news:

http://forums.futurelooks.com/cgi-bin/ubbnews.cgi?ns_id=1

but remember the forums are on Unix and the rest of the site is on NT.

I'm trying to include that snippet of code into a news.htm page and then trying to use the news page as an include page into the news frame...

any thoughts? How do I set it to PHP? saw the ultimatebb turn to php once.

ok, one more time from the top...

the php snippet will not work unless you are using it on a page that's written to use php. but first you have got to have php installed on the server you want it to show up on... is it?

hmmm, i see lots of open(FILE) commands in the hack files...

/me runs and hides before CC notices.

Hi lots of questions here, lots of errors, etc, etc.

Is there a final version of this mod that is working for 6.05. If you got it to work could anyone you please post it ?

It may be obvious for the "experts" but for rooky here... the txt doesn't have instructions and can't really figured it out... please help !
Pat

Very nice. Looking forward to a 6.1 final version ;-)

I have a Unix Server where I have my UBB and then the rest of my site is on a shared NT server with Front Page extensions. Is there any way in which to get UBBNews threads to show up on our news page which of course is on NT. Hellllpppp!

I've tried everything, rehacking the files, making sure chmods were set right.. Unix server, ubb address here: http://www.edbis.com/hosted/4x4c/forum/cgi/ultimatebb.cgi
Not sure what could be causing it

Here's what I got on the page:


tried with #exec cgi at first but that didn't work either.

Well, I liked the idea and I think this hack has potential. However, I can't get this to work for UBB 6.1 final release at all. I've spent hours and I keep getting a cgi software error.

A lot of the code isn't even compliant with the Charlese Capps 'subroutines and Filehandlers':

https://www.ubbdev.com/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=29&t=000123

I don't mean any disrespect or to put down any of the authors, but this code looks like it was made for 6.05 and then slightly tweaked to try and make it work with 6.1.0. I also haven't seen any of the authors post any responses since 7/31/01.

Has anyone been success installing this on UBB 6.1 final release (not beta)?

Thanks

Casual

I installed it on 6.1 Final with no complications.

I installed it successfully, but can't get it too show up on ssi. I tried that include virtual and exec cgi and even php that allen suggested and nothing.

[an error occurred while processing this directive]

Everything works great in cp, though.

Hehe you don't even need to hack the files if you've upgraded from v6.0x, so long as you don't plan on making any changes.

Just make sure you re-add the mods_worldlets and it'll use your previous settings to keep calling the data from the forums.

I wanted to bump this up and find out what the status of it was. This is probably the one mod that's holding me back from putting the new version live on my site .

Ok, I've installed it, and it seems to be working just fine.

My BIG problem though, is that it no longer seems to show HTML/UBB codes in the news. I use my news to announce happenings with my guild (board is for an online game) and include screenshots in every single news post. It now longer spits out the pictures!

Bleh ok, I just looked at the code and removed the line that strips the images. I feel stupid for not have doing that in the first place

nm, was an error on my part. SSI call works now.

[ 10-30-2001: Message edited by: GTSDurango ]

Anyone know what this error message might mean?

This is constantly happening, though all the news shows up correctly. I am at a loss here Any help would be appreciated!

If you go to this web page you will see that I have two news sessions called in by SSI's. The headlines only session is on the left and the complete article is on the right.

Now, if you click on any of the headlines it takes you to the article as viewed in the web boards. I would rather have the article show up just as the current article does.

Know what I mean? If anybody can help me with this I'd appreciate it.

Thank You,
-Eric

Hi,

The SSI is starting things off printing this little tidbit:

Any idea why or how to get rid of it? (Running on UBB 6.0.1.2.)

Thanks,
jlb

Can you fix the download?
The server gives 403-forbidden

I also get a 403 error . Please fix it quickly

Really is there another solution for implement ubb to a news script like corando?

Any alternative url or if anyone can send it to my e-mail pleeease ??

Will anyone be kind enough to send the file in my e-mail address ?

Thanks

Temp. d/l until his server is fixed:
