UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.3.x] [beta] DPK's SmilieMod

Gentlemen, I might a little slow, but not completely retarded!

Something doesnt work! I cant add any new graemlins even though I have like 50 in my noncgi directory, the very same folder where the other (working) graemlins are.

That list I showed to you in my previous post, was it supposed to be blank?

Thank you

Felix, no one is calling you retarded! Anyways as for your problem what version board are you running, I have installed it on my 6.3.1.1 board, id say it should be ok to work with 6.3.1.2 too.

What I can see on that screen dump you provided, see the text where it says 'Never will you have to hyper-extend your fingers to add smilies. Don't quote me on that.'
Then there is a broken link.

No that list should be populated with images found in your /ubb/gremlins directory


I think there may be something wrong with the path to your gremlins directory ? That would be the only possible reason the images are not showing where thet should.

This might be a stretch...But didn't the original hack come with extra (.cgi and .pl) files?

cgi-bin
cp_smilie.cgi
ubb_smilie.cgi

variables
vars_smilie_adv.cgi

noncgi/Templates
cp_smilieslist.pl
cp_vars_smilie_adv.pl
public_smilie_legend.pl

noncgi/graemlins
graemlins folder with "null.gif"

-------------

I could be way off-track but Felix may not have these necessary files or as BassTeQ suggested didn't upload the smilies into the "graemlins" directory in noncgi or doesn't have a "graemlins folder.

If any of you need it I hope no one minds (didn't see a working link) but I've uploaded it in which you can find here:

Yeh, the multihack generates the files for you. I just wish that more people who do modifications would do text versions, you don't know how many times I've modded a board by hand using a multihack as a guide then didn't realise that I needed to generate the new files lol...

Thanks for the text instructions Prime, as always, I'm sure a lot of people will find it handy .

Guys, HERE , this will show you my graemlins directory exists and I cant even load a face that is already existing in that folder.

I took the whole thing off, I will try PrimeTime file again, fresh.

keep you posted

In the gramlins section in your CP you will have to add them in, they won't automatically be added. You'll have to set them up as say:

:santa: santa_wave.gif

all of a sudden I get this message when trying to access mthe forum . This is very strange, last night was working, today I get this.

I removed all the custom graemlins stuff and replace the files with the back up files but I still get THIS

Please help!!!

is that the correct path to your ubbcgi directory ? If not you'll need to modify your config, if it is, then is the file ubb_lib.cgi actually there, and readable ?

Err...NM. You've mentioned that you replaced with your backup files.

Well not sure if this is the first time I get to actually help, or if I'm sticking my nose in where it doesn't belong but. I also had problems after installing hack on 6.5. Then I thought for a minute... reinstalled by first doing wordlets mod hack, then smiliemod hack. Seems to be working like a champ. Hope this helps.

BTW THANKS infopop for the stickys and PM notification!!!!!! Thanks for keeping me from having to invest in those vile scroundrels at Vbulletin!!! lol

hehe glad you were able to get it working

I wish I could hear you saying that to me Allen!

I cant get this thing to work! I have everything in place but I cant add anymore graemlins (over max 26 I had). I get the same message:

even though I have two sets of gramelins, one in /ubb and another one in /ubb/graemlins.

and the LIST is still empty!

Can anybody help me please?

By the way, PrimeTime, there is something wrong with your text, I couldnt use it. you are missing
the var_wordlets_mods.cgi code, public_edit_post.pl info is way different that the one BasTeQ provided , I couldnt find this code at all:
[code][/code]and other small things. are you sure this is for a 6.3.1.1? So hard for me as a beginner to sort these things out and find the working version.

I used your added files including vars_smilie_adv which I loaded in both CGI and Variables...still no work.

BasTeQ, if fyour file is right for a 6.3.1.1 where can I get the files that come with the hack? Maybe those are wrong? everything looks and works okay, except I cant add more happy faces.

Would anybody be so kind to tell me what is wrong?

That's the hack version I used for 6.3 - 6.4 UBB versions.


That block code (in the public_edit_post.pl and other post .pl files) should transfer to this:

[code][/code]Create a "graemlins" folder in your noncgi:

ubb/noncgi/graemlins

and see if that works.

I already did that Prime.

And I also, like I said, load up the graemlins in both directories:
1. /ubb
2./ubb/graemlins

nu work. any other suggestions?

Umm...Both of the examples above are not:

/ubb/noncgi/graemlins (note the "noncgi" folder)

lol prime, his noncgi folder is named /ubb/, example:
http://www.romanianational.com/www/ubb/

And he does in fact have a gramelins directory:
http://www.romanianational.com/www/ubb/graemlins

lol...

Yes Gizzy, that is what I have been trying to explain all along. The root on my server is simple: CGI and WWW (which is my Non CGI)

If anybody wants to check things out:

login: test
pass: test

thank you and a good weekend everybody

Hmm...Your smilies drop down and legend do appear properly. Is it only in your CP that you don't see the smilies?

Prime, dont worry about this buddy, is not important any more. Help me out with the CP access in the other thread. Thanks for trying, really.

Here I am again...brrrrrr

In the "View Smilie Legend & More Smilies' java window, when I click on a graemlin it dosnt put it in the post anymore..somehow I lost that...

It works in the Graemlin window if I enable it ( when Graemlins show in the left table) but it would not work in that java window.

what would I check? I assume is somewhere in ubb_smilie.cgi

thank you

Felix, found the problem, open up ubb_smilie.cgi and search for the phrase
opener.document.REPLIER
and replace it with
opener.document.replier

Replase all instances of that phrase and that will fix your problem

YES! it did it.
thanks alot BAssTeQ.

would you know how can I put a hand on the cursor when mouse over the Graemlins? it shouldnt be hard, I could try myself, not sure where exactly and I am so afraid not to screw things up.

felix

Yeah thats easy, but Im not on my home pc, so I cant see the saource code for that smilies mod, ill look at it tomorrow for you.

sure, I will wait

thanks again

Ok in ubb_smilie.cgi
find:
Cheers

yes, that was it. This would only show the hand cursor on the standard 11 Graemlins, I had to add
[code][/code]in the other subroutine for the other custom Graemlins, no big deal.

thanks again BassT!

No probs Felix!

Mr. Code Fixer

one more little question. I added a funny face at that table, can you look at this code
[code][/code]and let me know why do I have a border around the graemlin? do I have a mistake somewhere or missed something? I wouldnt be surprised.

this is what I mean, see the border?


Thank you
Felix

Just change this:
And that will remove the border.

Cheers

I was thinking to put "border 0" but wasnt sure why I have to, I mean by default logically it shouldnt show any borders unless you call for one, right?
Still learning, do you always have to mention "border=0" not to get a bordered image?

Yes if you use a hyperlink tag around an image then you must specify border=0 so you dont get that ugly border around the image.
