Update!
12th June 2002 1:20AM Board Time - If you have installed this hack before this date re-upload ubb_auth_list.cgi, public_auth_list.pl and re-hack public_forum_summary.pl. Fixes are the MegaMod activation and copyrights in public_auth_list.pl
13th June 2002 - If you have installed this hack before this date re-hack ubb_forum_summary.cgi and vars_wordlet_mods.cgi. MegaMod activation I hope is now fixed and : has been added to the MegaMod variable. (Thanks to Oblivion for that fix)
5th July 2002 - Fix in public_auth_list.pl. Pleae re-upload this to upgrade.
6th July 2002 - Fixed a bug in PNTF tracking. Now uses new PNTF code number. Re-hack ubb_lib_pntf.cgi, public_display_profile.pl and new step in public_pntf_admin.pl.

Please report ant bugs in code. Thank you.

LD,

I think your demo link is mistyped. It's .net right now and directs to a registrar site.

Just FYI.

I found the correct link using the one in your sig. (which is .com) Nice work!

I don't think you got it

public_forum_summary.pl instructions already have $megamod, but it's invisible unless there are some megamods. So MegaModAddon's public_forum_summary.pl modification isn't necessary anymore.
My other suggestion of ubb_auth_list.cgi:
Then you don't need megamodaddon.txt at all, and it shows the megamod line only if there is atleast 1 MegaModerator.

LK, the thing is it leaves a blank line if the hack ins't installed and it doesn't look too good so thats why I had to take it out. Sorry. Actually, a better idea is to add the
in the megamod variable code and then that line goes kapoof!

And I will make those changes soon.

Zackary - Thank you, fixed link.

Does the hack still use a lot of server resource or has that been fixed up now?

Thanks,
Oblivion Knight

I mentioned in the first post it's fixed.

Ahem, where did I tell you TO ADD
TO PUBLIC_AUTH_LIST?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I installed it today, after modding it a little. It runs really well and I love the rebuild staff function. I think it's a great hack for people like me that don't always remember who all of the moderators are...hahaha, I know that sounds terrible but it gets busy there sometimes.

LD, my 6.3.0 was different to the instructions..

In ubb_lib_ptnf.cgi Find:

Thanks Oblivion. Readme updated.

A couple of other things..
The code needs changing a little if using the MegaMods part of the hack..

I understand that if you used this hack and not the MegaMods hack, that the 'Mega Moderators:' part of the hack at the bottom of the forum summary would still show, so I don't know how you'd want to go about this..

In public_forum_summary.pl:

Also, how would I go about adding the team icon next to a MegaMods name in a topic?

Oh JEEZ, LD, if I give you good code, you have to break it?!
The code straight from my text file: [code][/code]Why did you remove the first part? :rolleyes:

But my way of doing it is still satisfactory i hope?

No, because yours says "Mega Moderators:" also if you haven't installed that hack... It's fine for YOUR board, but not for the instructions

Sorry LK, I had changed it for my board but not the instructions and OK if you had looked at the $megamod variable code it already includes the wordlet info. Zip updated. Sorry for my forgetfulness.

I downloaded this hack but.
when it says

[code][/code]Well I dont have this file I only have ubb_lib_pnft.cgi

Thats the file (ubb_lib_pntf.cgi). Sorry it was a typo and it will be fixed soon.

Well the code is actually wrong I dont have
this:

i went ahead and changed it.
(Backed up though)

Well it worked in the control panel I could rebuild staff index but when I went o look at my boards it says:

quote:

---

An error has occured:

ubb_lib_pntf.cgi: syntax error at D:GearHostHostingAccountsdigitalfaultwwwforumscgi-bin/ubb_lib_pntf.cgi line 108, near "if"

Please inform the board administration of this error so that they may fix the problem. Thank you!

---

This also happens when I click on the Authority list at the top of the page.

Make sure the code is like this inside that file (the part you added first)

if((exists $in->{ubb}) && ($in->{ubb} ne '')) { if($in->{ubb} !~ m/^(authority|forum|get_topic|pntf)$/) {

And not added after.

yeah me and my friend just worked that out.
Thanx for your help LD

I better make the instructions alot more clearer for the people who can't figure it out. Eep...

I go to the "Rebuild Staff Index" page in the CP and I get:

quote:

---

Undefined subroutine &main::rebuild_staff called at cp.cgi line 851.

---

I've rehacked cp.cgi, but still no good.

Little help please?

[EDIT: Never mind, I forgot to save cp_index.cgi. -_-;; ]

How can I put the team icon next to a MegaMod's name..?
Currently this hack isn't doing this for me..

Oblivion use this in public_topic_page.pl instead of what you have now.

[code][/code]

I think you mean

[code][/code]But anyway, thanks LD

I don't see the difference. o_O

You added an extra 'if' in front of '($user_profile[8] eq "MegaModerator")){'

Which isn't needed and causes errors..

Ahh. What an idiotic mistake.

*Calls LK for an auto activation for the MegaMod team icon*

Actually, it doe it automatically if you use Oblivion Knight's code, because if you haven't installed megamod, the user_profile[8] will never be 'MegaModerator'.

Wahey..!
I've done something right for a change..

Will update the link with new code once my server gets back up.

Just out of interest..

Shouldn't this:

No, because "Moderator" is included in "MegaModerator". (/Moderator/, not /^Moderator$/)

Zip Updated. Auth list template now uses $standard_title_table variable. Re-upload public_auth_list.pl.

Also, coming soon. An useless Auth List feature!

Zip Updated again. Fixed a bug in PNTF tracking. Now uses new PNTF code number. Re-hack ubb_lib_pntf.cgi, public_display_profile.pl and new step in public_pntf_admin.pl.

Either me or you missed a square bracket from this blob of code in public_topic_page.pl..

Thanks Oblivion, must have deleted it. Zip Updated with that little fix.
