UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.1x] Jimbo's Custom Status/Ranks Hack v1.1 - public beta 2.1 compatible

I'm having problems with members showing their titles. It will only show their standard titles. Maybe something with ubb_lib.cgi?

ubb_lib_posting.cgi is probably the culprit in this case.

qasic

I rehacked ubb_lib_posting many times. I had the option set to custom titles only, when i got these errors. But when i set it too both(though i wasn't using the ranks), it worked. I don't know why though...

What sort of error did you get when you set it to Titles only?

qasic

Well, i mean that when i set it too only custom titles, it showed the standard 2 titles(junior member and member) and not the ones i set.

Is it safe to install this hack with 6.1.0 Final yet?

I did a successful autoinstall.. Once i added my ranks and pressed submit i get a fatal error:


An unexpected fatal error has occured:

Can't open : No such file or directory
Here is the backtrace:

All the files were uploaded and cmodded... Any ideas? Im using the latest version of Ubb

Either one you have not put in the correct paths or two you have not copies c*.cgi from the ZIP file to the place you want to store the custom status.

qasic

I've installed on 6.1.0 Final (curiosity got to me ) and it works just perfectly for me.

likewise, running without a hitch on 6.1 final.

Heya Quasic, sorry for that post, was my stupid error. Im here iin Japan Airport waiting for a flight and working on Update to the never version of UBB. So my mind is quite out of it. I forgot to setup the primary settings lol... again sorry..

Hi everything works fine with this hack until
the title of the mods..

My mods are not shown in every forum as mod

What can I do???

Read the FAQ. There are instructions for doing that!

qasic

thanks quasic if forgot to read it...

Is there a chance for this hack or maybe for an alternative hack to let the users upload their images by themselves ?

Muc I think you are in the wrong topic

anyway, you could alway add a simple upload.cgi script that alway write usernuber.gif/jpeg would do the trick ans you would only have to edit wordlets

Maybe qasic provides a solution for his avatar hack...

Your solution sounds fine, but are you sure nobody ever did this before and can provide it?

[ 10-27-2001: Message edited by: Muc ]

Muc, use the Avatar mod, except do not install the mod on the CP where it puts in the Avatar menu.

I have it installed on a board I use. I just removed the CP part and they enter their image. It has to be hosted on the internet somewhere, but it does work.

qasic, I send you an email that 2 files are missed from the change.

I have manually changed them and sent you a new install cgi for you to review.

let me know what you think.

Thanks for the files. I already knew how to do it but I don't think it's really necessary. You free to put a link to instructions here if you like though

qasic

Would be cool if you could post the instructions John

Sorry I was busying fixing my server problems.

Muc, you got mail.

As for the missing code, I created a .cgi program that will install it.

Unsure of the rules here for posting, but since qasic said it was OK I will once my servers come back up.

I got your email but I thought you were talking about another thing as you actually did

In your version users can provide their own image by uploading it anywhere in the internet and then filling the location into the input area, but I was seeking for a mod which allows uploading a image into a special directory on my own server...

argh, anyone knows how to ?

Just in case someone else wants it.

This will use custom field 3 to allow a user enter their image and show on their profile.

The image just has to be one the net somewhere.

**** Important notice, if the server they host the picture is slow it can impact your server response time when view that persons post.

Well here it is.

public_display_name.pl

Find


$user_profile[18]


Replace with






public_topic_page.pl

Find

sub topic_row {
if ($alt_color eq "$vars_style{AltColumnColor1}") {
$alt_color = "$vars_style{AltColumnColor2}";
} else {
$alt_color = "$vars_style{AltColumnColor1}";
}


Add after
{
if (length($user_profile[18]) < 8) {
$avatar = "
";
} else {
$avatar = "
";
}
} # Avatar Routine (Thanks to CC & Curioso)

Find

Well you could open 1 directory and allow anyone to ftp a file to it.

Of course that is a major security problem if someone uploads a virus.

Have you looked at ELys Upload hack.

It is for attaching file in a post, but could be changed to do what you ask.

Chuck is working on adapting the upload thing to the avatar mod, but it seems to be to weird

besides: thanks for your work, if I don't get the upload thing workin I'll think of implement your mod

when can you post the missing code ?

think u can make the autoinstall for this work for XHTML templates?

Please ignore!

I am working on trying to find the missing code.

I was pretty sure I had it all.

Did you install the full hack before making the changes?

I redownloaded the hack from qasic.net but the changes weren't made to the readme yet, so the profile still doesn't show custom ranks/status, even if I use your addition you posted in another thread.

It is working fine on 6.0.1.2 see my site .

And to be honest, this is my first time at using any hacks.

What problems are you getting?

Just wanted to see if anyone else has this successfully running on 6.0.1.2 before I try and install and muck everything up.

hmmmm...something is wrong with my control panel, when I go in there, it shows up internal server error...anybody know what's wrong

Hacking error. Re-hack from good backups.

qasic

An error has occured:


Label not found for "next THISPARTICULARLINEHide" at /web/sites/255/dreamcastdude/www.dcdojo.f2s.com/cgi-bin/ubb_lib_posting.cgi line 3.


Please inform the board administration of this error so that they may fix the problem. Thank you!

I get that when I go to my updated profile, do you know which file I messed up on?

Any chance of making this hack work like with Multi Templates?
As I describe here!
https://www.ubbdev.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic&f=28&t=000183

ummm...ok now I did it and I get an error on that public topic page complaining about the $custom_status you are suppose to put in

Does this Hack work on 6.1.0.2 and what known Bugs are there???
