UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.1x] Who's Online 4.1.0 PB2 -- now for public beta 2.1

PHP :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Tried applying the changes said in the differences text and copied the new ubb_whos_online.cgi file and the following error comes up

Sorry, UBB has encountered an unexpected, fatal error. This error is extremely abnormal. Please contact the board administration. The error text is:

Can't open /www/reeftalk/test/ubb/cache-ZW24RJRW/ubb_files/wol/phpbits.cgi: No such file or directory

I believe I found the reason wordlets mod comes up blank in the control panel. The instructions say this

################
cp.cgi
################

# find:

wordlets_cp wordlets_err

# replace with:

wordlets_cp wordlets_err wordlets_mod

#######################################

and, It should be:

################
cp.cgi
################

# find:

wordlets_cp wordlets_err

# replace with:

wordlets_cp wordlets_err wordlets_mods

#######################################

The "S" was left off the wordlets_mods, once I fixed this it worked fine!

Bingo you got it.. now if only WOL would be updated to v6.1 Final =).

Sometimes a cup of coffee helps wake ya up

Solved the problem with the new additions allen left. After you do your hacking make sure under your cache directory under ubb files directory you make a directory called {wol}


As I am no programmer I need a little insight here. I want who's online a category just like it is here but the whos online code is always table format?

##### Who's online? Code Block by Elliott "Borg" Brady
my ($doing, $Online_Wording, $Online_Details, @nullit) = &GetOnlineUsers($username);

my $replace = qq~

$Online_Wording $Online_Details

~;

my $xpath = $vars_config{NonCGIPath} . "/cache-" . $vars_config{cache_pw} . "/ubb_files/wol";
&WriteFileAsString("$xpath/wol-$doing.cgi", "$replace");

Ok I got WOL installed and am having one problem When I go thru the setting for WOL in the Cp and finish I get the following error
You did not complete: link_profile

I cant find that in the WOL setting?

It is in there. It is the last thing under text display settings.

Is that a no, it only has proms with the accelerator, or just a :rolleyes: at php in general..

Never mind it was a problem uploading a template

im getting a 500 internal server error when i got to use the auto install... ive tried chmoding to 777 and it still wont work. Why wont it work?

If it dont work at 777 try change moding it to 755. It will only install on my server at 755 not 777. Contrary to directions

But then I beleive Qasic has in there to try it at 755 if it dont work at 777.

wait...it seems to be working now n/m

[ 10-21-2001: Message edited by: raiyan ]

oops

It is there... sorry. I didn't know charles had added that

It won't show up on my pages.

Perhaps



need semicolons like this?



or do you not need them?

Did you give it a shot?

Just did. Same result - nothing.

NOTE: allen you need to update public_common.pl and change all of those 'document.REPLIER.message' to 'document.replier.message' since you went to xhtml documents, because the ubb codes don't work now.

thanks for the reminder.. still sorting everything out

Well with all the hard work from charles and allen and et all we might actually be getting somewhere. I have yet to see any double names like they do here with the additions I made from allen here. [b]I see now here there are no double names HMM maybe we are that much closer to seeing who's online done. Maybe soon I can start hacking my test board the way I want it.

there aren't any double names here right now because we have the accelerator turned off right now pending finding the bugs with blank pages/php/xhtml templates

and I thought you all got the problem licked.

Oh Well.

anyone no when this hack will go final?

Not that I am anti-social or anything like that -- I like the "Who's Online" hack, but I also like being invisible online--especially on the board I manage (I'd be bombarded if people knew I was online).

I thought there was a place in My Profile to indicate that you want to be invisible.

Is this not available anymore? Is this part of the bug process? Thanks.

You select that option when you log in

Is WOL compatible with the accelerator yet?

No (at least not yet).

I guess there is a lot of Dufuses out there!


Sorry.

Couldn't resist.

Yep good catch, that is definitely the problem. Might want to update the directions qasic.

Thx Slurpee ... hmm .. I plan to release a new beta soon for the new UBB 6.1 ... Stay tuned for that

qasic

got any clue when the final will be out? or for your other hacks aswell? like jimbos custom rank, avatars, and the mod log? those are must have for my boards...lol

Strange, I found that calling the wol_ssi file directly under v6.0x created next to no load on the site, however the same call for WOL under v6.1 can cause the site to slow to a crawl.

This doesn't make much sense since there's no real different between 60x WOL4 and 610 WOL4.

mark99, yes there's a MAJOR difference and this difference is due to the new Charles Capps hacking requirement that all external files must establish a global lock which slows the SSI significantly down.

Other beta releases for UBB 6.1 final are in the works; there are no set dates because university takes priority.

Allen sez: there aren't any double names here right now because we have the accelerator turned off right now pending finding the bugs with blank pages/php/xhtml templates

So, is it safe to install Who's Online w/o worrying about the "double names" bug if you don't have the accelerator turned on?

Yes.

I have installed the who's online hack and the accelerator is turned off but I only get to see myself as logged in. I talked to a few members and they also only see themselves logged in. And the invisibility is disabled in the cp. Any ideas on how to solve this??

In the CP:

Display Type (Forum Summary)
Display a summary message, or list the users who are online on the Forum Summary page. :Summary or List
Display Type (Forums)
Display a summary message, or list the users who are online in each of your forums. :Summary or List
Display Type (SSI)
Display a summary message, or list the users who are online when you call Who's Online via SSI (Server Side Includes). :Summary or List
--------------------------------------------

If set to Summary, then only you will show on the forum pages. If set to list, it will list all the members online (on the main page) and all the members in a specific forum (on the forum pages).

Right now Admins and Mod are set in bold, is there anyway of changing the colors so they differ from members and guest?

Who's online is set to show as a list in the cp but still you can only see yourself logged in even when there are others on the board.

Besides the Accelerator/PHP problems, is this version compatible with the new release, 6.1.0.1?

No Fix Yet. Darn Must be something than it tough as I figured Charles would have it done by now

Between the serious bug here and in Allens XTML templates I think no one is going to run PHP accelerator
