Great mod smile

Just a small bug, lines 437 and 439 of modlog.cgi should have $hash->{type} instead of $_[0].

I got this error:

Can't obtain exclusive lock: No such file or directory (called
by /home3/dsstoday/HTML/cgitest/ubb_mod_log.cgi, 36) at /home3/dsstoday/HTML/cgitest/ubb_lib_files.cgi line 573.

Line 35 and 36 of ubb_mod_log.cgi are:

open FILE, ">>$vars_config{NonCGIPath}/modlog/$action.cgi";
&lock();

Are we missing file action.cgi?

I have the latest modlog.cgi and yes I have a directory modlog in NONCGI with chmod 777, still I am getting this error:

Can't use an undefined value as a symbol reference at modlog.cgi line 152.

and this is line 152 in modlog.cgi:
my $fh; open($fh, "$vars_config{NonCGIPath}/modlog/$_[0].cgi");

Please help!
Thanks

freeTV, you may be using a version of Perl that doesn't support this feature(I'm using Perl 5.6.1 which defintely supports this feature). What version of Perl are you using?

Try the following:

Open modlog.cgi

find:

Code
code:

and replace with:

qasic, I'm using perl5.
I tried your fix to the modlog.cgi and it did the trick. This is a nice hack. I strongly recommend it to everyone.

2 thumbs up!

raiyan:

ISE can be caused by two things:

1) Perl path not being correct.
2) Binary upload of files.

Check to make sure these are not the case. Furthermore, can you print here what your error log says?

It can work with UBB 6.0x with a little modfication. If you pay me, I can install on your 6.0x board for you but otherwise, you'll have to install it at your own peril.

Hi bsoke,

Did you register @ Qasic.COM by any chance? If you did, you'll need to re-register @ Qasic.NET. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Not sure if this is a problem with everyone, but when I chmod'd my modlog directory to 666 I couldn't gain access to that directory.. not even through FTP, so the ubb couldn't access it and gave this error... when I set it to chmod 777 it works just fine.. maybe the instructions should be changed to say chmod modlog to 777? just curious...

Javier: This hack only requires 666 permissions. If it requires 777 then somehow, your host has a custom UNIX that is screwing around with standard UNIX permissions.

Boske: You're not on the Qasic.NET database at all.

Q-> that's cool.. my host is also where I work and do tech support wink Can't complain too much for free hosting lol... in any case, I hadn't seen much feedback on this hack yet so i just popped the question out..

It's a GREAT feature though.. no more "who the heck closed that and why" lol

Well 666 means that everyone has read/write permissions and 777 means everyone has read/write/execute permissions. My script doesn't execute any files inside that directory so it's sufficient to only have 666.

Just weird. Anyways, I'm still glad it works smile

Yeah, I got one for UBB 6.0x. In fact, MsLedd found all the bugs I had in this hack on her UBB 6.05 smile However, as I stated above, payment is required for me in order to install it for you.

He didn't ask you to install it, he just wants the hack for v6.05, like me =). Why not release it since there's lots still using v6.0x until v6.1 is final and bug free.

Hi Click,

I re-upload the latest ZIP file with modlog.cgi updated to have the shabang line @ the top of modlog.cgi.

I assumed you've hacked ubb_topic_maint.cgi right? If so, please close a topic and then check your modlog directory (inside the UBB NonCGI directory), and see if there are files. If there are, please list them here.

Thanks!

At this moment i have this error when trying to close one topic:

Can't obtain exclusive lock: Permission denied at /hosting/gcgsm/public_html/new/cgi/ubb_lib_files.cgi line 554

-rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody nobody 31 Oct 17 03:14 index.cgi

Oh, it's a blank page? Try logging into your control panel first (to set UBB admin cookie) and then access modlog.cgi again. Please LMK how this goes.

NOTE TO SELF: If this 666 keeps on causing trouble, I think I may change it to 777.

Hi click,

Not too sure what's wrong but I can try logging in to your server to see if I can debug the bug. Please e-mail the FTP login/password and UBB login/password so I may see if I can find the problem. Thanks!

well, i've received your emails. I don't know what you have done... but i've tryed to open the View/edit moderator loggs, and it still appears blank page.

Tryed on IE5, IE5.5, IE6, Netscape6, Opera
NONE of them can open the page.

can't understand where is my mistake... blank page still remains.
