Hi,

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

..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 smile .

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: $!";

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

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! frown

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???

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. frown

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?

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 frown

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 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 wink .

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 wink

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
