UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.3.x] [beta] Chat Mod 1.2

My first mod, ported to 6.3

Here we go:

Name: Chat Mod

Description: Lets you chat with jIRC. It has full CP support, it's 100% wordletized, it automatically gets the nick of the user/GuestXXXXX (5 random digits) if it's a guest, replaces smilies with real smilies, shows how many people are currently chatting and even invites people to the chatroom (by Recent Visitors, thanks to Olson).

Demo: http://www.lkworld.com

Link: ZIP File or MultiHack File

Requirements: UBB™ 6.3.0 Beta Release 1.0 , Mod Wordlets , jPilot License (unless you want to see an "unregistered" line after every line)

Number of downloads: [img]https://ubbdev.com/lk/num.php?s=chat.zip,chat.mhp[/img]

Special thanks to: Ryan Olson for Invitation Script, Brett (raiyan) for JavaScript idea, dj_rava for the Admin Command Buttons idea and Troy for MultiHack, hosting and supporting me all the way .

Screenshots: Forum Summary , Chat Window , CP

Great work LK, installed and working!
But the invite is not working, it gives errors.
I checked the readme again but all was put in the right place.

It has something to do with templatenumber(s) ???

Fixed

Can't find this in my ultimatebb.cgi:

Find:
=====

} elsif ($in{ubb} =~ m/^(pntf|pntf_js|pntf_admin|preview_post)$/) {
$templatefile = $template_match{summary_page};

Ignore that part, I forgot to upload the ZIP without it

ZIP/MHK files updated - I forgot about a Wordlet - "FieldNameSignoff" - please add it

Modified files: ubb_chat and vars_wordlets_mods

Error:

LoadStyleTemplate no longer takes a number.

(Backtrace: : ubb_lib.cgi:1830 -> sub main::Tracer)

(Backtrace: : ubb_chat.cgi:15 -> sub main::LoadStyleTemplate)

(Backtrace: : ultimatebb.cgi:526 -> sub main::chat)

Call me an idiot. I forgot to upload the 3 cgi-and-pl-files in chat.zip :rolleyes:

Just one question: in this new version, the chat reloads continuesly - isn't that to much serverload?

The page or the applet?

*ahem*
Forget that too. I wasn't at 100% yesterday. Had to run the config in CP once... It loads cont., if you don't give any time for how often the userlist refreshes :rolleyes:

Just ignore all my text in here

Where it says to look for this...

quote:

---

sub OpenFileAsVar {
push (@openedfiles, $_[0]);
local (*FILE);
local ($str);

if (-e "$_[0]") {
my $handle = $filehandle->open('file', 'readonly', $_[0]);
$str = $handle->readfile();
$filehandle->close($handle);
} else {
&CheckCachedFile($_[0]);
}
chomp($str);

---

It is actually:

quote:

---

push (@openedfiles, $_[0]);
local (*FILE);
local ($str);

if (&FileExists($_[0])) {
my $handle = $filehandle->open('file', 'readonly', $_[0]);
$str = $handle->readfile();
$filehandle->close($handle);
} else {
&CheckCachedFile($_[0]);
}
chomp($str);

---

The part that is different:

In your code you have

quote:

---

if (-e "$_[0]") {

---

In the ubb 6.3X file it is:

quote:

---

if (&FileExists($_[0])) {

---

At least it was that way for me.

Yup, sorry, thanks

Your welcome!!!

I'm glad I could put my 1 cent in and help out a little.

LK, I haven't looked at the code in a while. Is it possible to shorten the random digits for guests to like 3 or 4? I know a place where they would never get over 999 Guests using Guest### (actually the chatserver would probably crash)

5 digits == world standard.

But:

$nick = "Guest$digit[rand(10)]$digit[rand(10)]$digit[rand(10)]$digit[rand(10)]$digit[rand(10)]";

Delete the last two $digit[]

Fixed a problem: most admin commandbuttons didn't work. Please upload the new ubb_chat.cgi

I have a probelm, i see the little logo chat and no the text for connect to the chat :
My URL

Reinstall Mod Wordlets - www.qasic.net and rehack vars_wordlets_mods.cgi part of chat mod.

ZIP/MHK files updated - added HTML feature to CP.

Please re-upload cp_vars_chat.pl, ubb_chat.cgi and rehack cp_lib.cgi.

Fixed a bug in the counter - please re-upload ubb_chat.cgi

Now i have this message when i run my forum :

Software error:
Execution of /home/sites/site1/users/jano/web/cgi/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi aborted due to compilation errors.
For help, please send mail to the webmaster (admin), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.

What can i do ?

Thanks.

It doesn't really help, rehack everything If it still doesn't work, please leave your ICQ/AIM/MSN/Yaho! ID

I send you PM for ICQ.

If i re-hack ultimatebb.cgi i have the same problem, in manual mode or with multihack. I use 6.3 beta 2.

Thanks.

I tried it on 6.3 Beta 2... no luck. Any major changes to get it to work here. Love to have this one on my board.

Thx

Using multihack I also get

Software error:
Execution of /home/sites/site4/web/cgi/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi aborted due to compilation errors.
For help, please send mail to the webmaster (admin), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.

Ive rehacked it 3 different times. Ive tryed it live on the web and incase I did permissions wrong or something strange, I also hacked it on my PC local board and still same error.

Blame Qasic

Open ultimatebb.cgi.
Find:
wordlet_mods
Replace with:
wordlets_mods

Open vars_wordlets_mods.cgi.
Try to find:
wordlet_mods
Replace with:
wordlets_mods

If even 1 of them is there, it should work after fixing it. If not, do you have AIM/ICQ/MSN?

Yup, the spelling error was the problem. Works now, Thanks!

Fixed a minor bug in ubb_chat.cgi, please re-upload from the updated ZIP/MHP.

hi i'm getting htat complication error too and i checked if the spelling was correct and they are

any help would be nice thnx in a advanced

Hi LK,

Mod works great, now that I figured out the spelling error for wordlets_mod etc. Mind you the chat message in category view is showing up twice, and twice in the CP as well - weird, will have to edit those out.

Question - how does the invite work, as although no errors happen, no invite is ever received. Is there anything else I need to add.

Ian

1) so you hacked it twice

2) it should work, try to rehack public_common.pl?

a) probably correct

b) public_common.pl fine - just the one line added - but still no joy

Re-checked each file, just in case

Ian

Invite feature doesn't work on my board either. Sometimes you get a delayed invite message and other times it doesn't work at all.

Canvey, I visited your site and can say for sure that you didn't hack JCTemplates/public_common.pl correctly

Eagle, I need a demo user/pass for eaglecrew.com.

LK sent the login nfo to your dkldkl2@ email address.

Thanks!

Okay, the problem is in ultimatebb.php - doesn't chop.

Try the following and tell me if it works before I update the ZIP:
Open ultimatebb.cgi.
Find:

I think you meant to say Open ultimate.php not ultimate.cgi?

Edited the php file and still doesn't seem to work right and now I show up twice in the chatroom?

Worked when I tried (notice: it only works in forum summary, forum page, topic page, faq, ubbcode page)
