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

Well done Terminator_X, it works perfectly now !

Ah, now I get it. In UBB 6.1.0.3 they threw in some extra code in the middle of the first block we had to find in ubb_lib_posting.cgi! Thanks a lot M_E_W and Terminator_X. It works perfectly at my board now.

Thanks guys. Hack works fine now. But I have another stupid question. Is it possible to get rid of "Member #xx" line while using Custom Ranks and Titles?
Well, as far as I understand it's possible with simple commenting out
[code][/code]
But I'm not a hacker so I'm wondering is it safe?

Just remove $member_number from public_topic_page.pl

You will probably want to remove the BR tag under it as well to eliminate the extra gap.

is there a hack to allow users to change their custom title in profile?

I am NOT using 6.1.0.3

But the ranks for Admins and Mods don't get displayed.
Normal users do get the correct rank.

I don't have any settings listed for the Custom Admin/Mod Rank Database or the Override Rank Database.
Only for the Custom Rank Database.

So something keeping the ranks away from me and my mods )

I didn't think I could use te updated code for 6.1.0.3 cause it looks so different.

Any idea's? (or perhaps a modified update like the one for 6.1.0.3?)

btw I am using 6.1.0.1 pb 1.4 (can't update yet)

Did you delete the part in ubb_lib_posting.cgi that only lists the Status as a Mod if they are a mod in that forum?

No I didn't.

Does that affect the rankings?
I thought that part would only control the status of the mod.

But the mod isn't the only one, admins don't get ranked either.
Perhaps the code only allows rankings for those in the corresponding fields.
That would mean that the selection between the "standard" and "Custom Admin/Mod Rank Database" isn't configured properly.

So even when the Custom Admin/Mod Rank Database fields are empty it still uses those for the ranks for admins and mods.

or the validation for those fields is not good and it thinks they are configured.

Sup Fellas.. Running an offline board on my comp.. (Version Ultimate Bulletin BoardTM 6.1.0.2)

Installed the hack twice...keep getting this error now after I post...


Any Takers?

Before that line you should have a &RequireCode("$vars_config{CGIPath}/ubb_custom_status.cgi");

[code][/code]

You need that code, it's not part of the mod check. It goes under where the mod check code used to be...

Thankz For the Reply... but no I have it in there already... Here's several lines...

This:[code][/code]

Is what I have in ubb_lib_posting.cgi

And then?

Hagar,

1) This hack requires UBB 6.1.0.3 release to work.
2) I've upped a new ZIP file to my site which should be compatible with 6.1.0.3 without MEW's modificaitons.

LMK if you have problems.

qasic

I got this working on 6.1.0.2 as well at 6.1.0.3...

Okay .. maybe .. but it defintely won't work on a UBB 6.1 beta release

qasic

Ok, too bad

Ahh OK.
And Hagar, are you sure you added the code I posted where the mod check code used to be? I'm sure it matters where it's placed. (Not that sure..)

Any thoughts aboout my last post in here?

nice

DJSpellBound,

Have you tried re-hacking ubb_lib_posting.cgi with the new readme.txt instructions?

qasic

If you are implying about the new text file on page 8..yes just tried that after your suggestion. ( Or if you are talking about another one, Please point me into the right direction..

No I'm not talking about MEW's instrunctions; I'm talkin about my own inside the new Jimbo ZIP file on http://www.qasic.net.

qasic

umm, I have a different problem. Custom Status/Rank Variable Settings wont save the settings. I've reuploaded the file several times and CHMOD it right, but it wont save! Thus it wont show up the titles for users when they post.

Sweet...........works now with no problems...

DjSpellBound - glad you got it working!

v0id - do you get any error messages? have you checked your server's error log?

qasic

I get no errors in my server error log.

So if I'm guessing correctly .. you go to manage your custom status, you enter in some titles, and then you press save. No errors occur when you save. When you go back to manage them, the titles you had saved previously don't appear. Is this correct? If so, give me the full server path to cstatus.cgi and crank.cgi.

qasic

I go to Primary Settings >> Custom Rank/Title Settings. There I set up the file paths and all the other fields and click Save Variables. Then I go back to see if it saved but it doesnt save.

When I go to Manage Ranks/Titles, I set the ranks and it saves, but they dont show up when people post.

URL: http://forum.invoid.net/cgi-bin/crank.cgi and the other one is in the same dir

v0id,

Can I get FTP access to your UBB? I'll like to perform some tests. Please PM/e-mail me the required details. Thx.

qasic

Hi v0id,

I've fixed up Jimbo on your site. There were two problems:

1) Your cp_custom_status.cgi was v0.0004. UBB 6.1.0.3 requires a cp_custom_status.cgi which is v1.1.

2) You had the star hack installed. I've commented it out inside public_topic_page.pl since that functionality can be incorporated directly into Jimbo's hack.

With the upcoming release of WOL into 6.2, I'm gradually dropping my support for WOL. Sorry for the inconvenience.

qasic

Thanks for fixing it.

Now anyone else can help me with WOL? I just dont know why wont it show on each forum but it does on forum summary.

Also, please check my post on the New members forum please, I really need help

Well the hack I did myself for ubb_lib_posting.cgi works fine for me. I never had any problems all this time. I do use v6.1.0.3. I doubt it works for older 6.1x versions.

Hi all,

Has anyone successfully got stars running with Jimbos? I have Jimbos up and running and its awsome (Thanks!) but I really want to get stars of some form incorporated so as ppl get to new levels they also increase their stars.

If anyone has had success, please let me know maybe how?

Thanks for any input

Rainner

Rainner,

You an incoporate stars DIRECTLY into your ranks. Just put the tags required.

qasic

Hi Qasic,

Thanks for the response. I'm sorry but I'm just learning and do not understand how to do this.

Rainner

Sure no problem. Let me give you a sample example.

Let's say your current rank set is the following:

0|!!|Newbie
10|!!|Level 1
20|!!|Level 2
30|!!|Level 3

For newbies, let's give them 0 stars, level 1 - 1 start, level 2 - 2 stars, etc.

Since we can use HTML inside the rank names (Newbie, Level 1, Level 2, Level 3), let's just put somg tags

0|!!|Newbie
10|!!|Level 1

20|!!|Level 2

30|!!|Level 3


(of course Level 2 could have a rank statement like this: 20|!!|Level 2
as well)

With the above rank set, you've achieved what the stars hack as done!

Questions?
