UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.3.x] [beta] Random Quotes

Doh!

I just gave the text instructions yet another try on a fresh install of UBB v6.3,
and it seems to work just fine.

Try downloading the text instructions again, I just updated it now.
I may have missed something the last time.

I am having the same problem with my board as well. No quotes, yet Syntax table is showing up. I installed using the newest text directions in the link in this thread and I imported the instructions to Multi hack. Still a no go. http://snow.prohosting.com/dms78363/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

Hmm... could you open vars_idle.cgi (variables/cgi directory) and post the contents here?

You can also try the following to see if UBB is actually reading the quotes properly:

[code][/code]Then look for "rq_debug.txt" in your NonCGI directory, open it and see if there has any quote been written to it.

Nope no text file in either cgi nor non cgi directories. Also the vars_idle.cgi coding is here:
[code][/code]

I had a look at the instructions again, and added a couple of steps... re-tested everything as well.

Download the updated instructions.

You'll need to overwrite cp_quotes.cgi, do the two steps added for ultimatebb.cgi and the two ones added for cp.cgi.

Oh, I also updated the code for modifying your public_forum_summary.pl (both normal and JCTemplates).

Give it a try and see if that works.

Nope. Same thing. I started from scratch on the same hacked board. I made a mhp file out of the updated instructions as well. I also noticed that one step in cp.cgi was repeated twice. Or at least there is not two lines with :
[code][/code]The MHP file I made with Multi Hack v2.0 can be downloaded here:
http://snow.prohosting.com/dms78363/hacks/rqs_63xx.mhp

I don't think I messed anything up. And I am not using JCTemplates at all.

Oops... I updated the text instructions, for some reason I had pasted the cp.cgi code twice.

Oh, and added the "missing" step for ultimatebb.cgi as well.

If you still don't have any luck with that,
you can PM me your test board's stuff and I'll have a look and modify the thing for you.

Ok, again I updated the multihack file I made and nothing, so I just did it by hand and bam now I got quotes. For some reason it dont like the multi hack. I mopdified the instructions a little where you have to put the variables in. Maybe I was supposed to use insert instead of add after. anyway I got mine working. Was hoping to update a Multi hack for you but oh well. Now all we need is that little cache bug fixed to get the quotes to refresh. Without having to clear the cache on every page load. good hack though.

Finally!

I'm new to this MultiHack stuff... don't like it at all, but then again that's just my not so humble opinion.

Yeah, as for the cache "bug", I'm still trying to figure something out for that one.
But doesn't it change when someone posts on your board?
It should do (it does for me) since the forum summary cache is cleared after each new post made.

Good point. I will keep an eye out for that.

Yay, mine does update after someone posts. Which is not that bad, does get people to post afterall.

Yeah.
In my opinion it's alright.
After all, the quotes aren't supposed to attract your visitors, constantly refreshing just to see the next one.
