I would like to make a CGI page, just to show the header, the link line and the footer links and Infopop link. Just imagine The forum Summary without any tables. Am I on a good start? #!/usr/bin/perl
&LoadTemplate("public_common");
%vars_style = &LoadStyleTemplate("summary_page");
&set_page_elements;
@ubber = cookie("ubber$vars_config{Cookie_Number}");
if ($ubber[0] ne '') { $username = $ubber[0]; }
if ($ubber[1] ne '') { $password = $ubber[1]; }
if ($ubber[2] ne '') { $pubname = $ubber[2]; }
if ($ubber[3] ne '') { $user_topic_view = $ubber[3]; }
if ($ubber[4] ne '') { $user_number = $ubber[4]; }
if (@ubber) {
@checkTheProfile = &verify_id_num_2($username, $password, $user_number);
unless ($checkTheProfile[4] =~ /Write/) {
print header(
-charset => "$masterCharset",
-type => "text/html"
);
&StandardHTML("User not approved");
}
} elsif ($opt{members_only}) {
&StandardHTML(qq!$vars_wordlets_err{not_logged_in}
<a href="$vars_config{CGIURL}/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=login" target="_blank">$vars_wordlets{login_now}</a> $vars_wordlets{or} <a href="$vars_config{CGIURL}/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=agree" target="_blank">$vars_wordlets{register_title}</a>!);
}
if ($@) {
print ("Content-type: text/htmlnn");
print "Error including required files: $@n";
print "Make sure these files exist, permissions are set properly, and paths are set correctly.";
exit;
}
$show_logout = qq~
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var user_cookie = getCookie('ubber$vars_config{Cookie_Number}');
if(('' == user_cookie) || (null == user_cookie)) {
document.writeln('$vars_wordlets{not_logged_in}' , ' <a href="$vars_config{CGIURL}/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=login">$vars_wordlets{login_now}</a> $vars_wordlets{or} <a href="$vars_config{CGIURL}/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=agree">$vars_wordlets{register_link}</a>')
} else {
var user_array=user_cookie.split("&");
user_array[2] = unescape(user_array[2]);
document.writeln('$vars_wordlets{hello} ', user_array[2]);
document.writeln('[ <a title="$vars_wordlets{logout_acronym}" href="$vars_config{CGIURL}/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=logoff">$vars_wordlets{logout}</a> ]');
} // end else
//-->
</script>
~;
If not can someone point me the right way? Thank you, Felix

For a basic .cgi file all you need are a few lines inside such as: &set_page_elements;
$ThisHTML = $Header;
$ThisHTML .= qq~
$Footer
~; Anything in between "qq~" and "$footer" is your HTML codes. Now you have your .cgi file. You will now need ultimatebb.cgi to recognize this file when called. To do so add: In ultimatebb.cgi find: # all ubb options:
$ubb = "" unless $ubb; Add after: # whatever_title_here
if ($ubb eq 'file_name') {
&set_page_elements;
&RequireCode("$vars_config{CGIPath}/cgi_file_here.cgi");
&file_name;
exit(0);
} #end whatever_title_here And in ubb_lib.cgi find: Add after: 'file_name' => q^|file_name|^, And find: Add (with space after): This will give you the basic .cgi file. Of course you can add other stuff later like: login info Recent Vistors recognition Wordlets Calendar Stats And whatever you want... Hope this helps.

With this you can now create your own .cgi Homepage (portal).  The only thing that I (and Brett  ) were stuck on was the inclusion of UBBNews without the use of javascript...We both were targetting a Perl method. We had almost everything else needed in a homepage. I think Bobbitt came up with a code that could do it. There was a time when many UBB users were heavily interested in a portal. Anyone knows the status (succeeded, ongoing, dead)? *The .cgi version *

creating an index.cgi would be fairly simple after all the hassle I've been through with the various scripts the last few months (games, links, etc).  ubbnews would be the toughy, unless mike's script can be included like a content island

Allen, I was going to ask you pesonally anyways. The template I was trying to develop into a page I took from your games.cgi because it is the simples ever of all and it is a stand alone.
My question to was was:
what shoud I delete from the games.cgi script so I dont get the games table, just an empty page so I can insert my own codes into it ?
Thank you,
Felix

Prime, the code you gave me up above. Is this how you start the page? Isnt there anything to call the forum template into the new page? Or ultimatebb.cgi would do that?
Why cant this page stand alone like Allen's Games.cgi or Mike's album.pl without being necessary to call it through ultimatebb ?
Thank you,
Felix

Felix Change showmain to showindex and call the file index.cgi... that's probably too simple... once you've included the ubb files like at the top of the page, you need showindex to do the startpage and endpage, with the other stuff tossed in between You can add content islands for most content, a ubbnews script for some other content, etc etc etc. I can look at it at some point, I really wanna get the links script further down the road

Felix I haven't checked the Games.cgi or album.pl but the code I posted is probably the easiest method to having a fully (UBB) intergrated .cgi page. From login to PM to Wordlets to Recent Visitors to Search and more...It's all possible through this one page. The "ultimatebb.cgi" is the heart of UBB so you want all of your UBB pages to go through it..."ubb_lib.cgi" is also a criticial file. While a separate CSS can be used, because this .cgi page is another UBB page, it uses the routines in "public_common.pl" (e.g., templates ($TBT and $TBB), header, footer, etc.). The code I posted is the skeleton of what the Homepage was(is) to be, but you can use it for anything really. It doesn't matter whether it's .cgi or .pl...I just preferred .cgi. A standalone won't cut it in my opinion...Not for a Homepage...Not for a UBB page.

Prime, I read and I read ..and the more I read the dumber I get.....LOL. Okay, I want to make a page, just a page not the Homepage, in which to integrate an other one, this: http://romanianational.com/cgi-bin/album.pl so it looks like is part of the UBB board (header, footer, links line). Pretty much same thing Allen did with the Games: http://romanianational.com/cgi-bin/games.cgi Do you understand? Dont take it wrong Prime, I dont doubt you understand, I very much doubt I explain properly Thank you, Felix

I think that would be a VERY good thing for UBBDev.

argh.. looked at this again tonight... getting the header/footer for some generic page is simple - deciding what content to include for an index page is difficult at best - it assumes everyone wants the same layout, wants the same content, etc... should there be 1, 2, or 3 or even 4 columns?
I'll write a blank one and give a big ol' PUT YOUR CONTENT HERE pointer until someone has time to write something more substantial.

I already posted the code above (3rd post)...It shouldn't be any easier than that. I didn't include additional content but it won't be difficult to include (with exception to the UBBNews) because it's already written from previous hacks and codes...It's just a matter of cut and paste. (Allen seen the quick-make page a while back.) Custom templates is as difficult as the complexity of the designs. UBBNews and CP intergration are the only two things will make it complete. For what Felix wants to do, however, everything is already there to make the page (Header/Footer). Unless you're thinking something different than I am.

Prime, it is not working. A few problems: 1. I get a page but with a error message: " Undefined subroutine &main::album called at ultimatebb.cgi line 557." ![[Linked Image]](http://romanianational.com/TEMP/error.JPG) Note: my editor starts with 00001 not 00000. 2. I have a "Content-type: text/html " in the left top corner 3. the style template is not the one I am curently using. This is the page:
&set_page_elements;
$ThisHTML = $Header;
$ThisHTML .= qq~
TESTING THE NEW .CGI PAGE
TESTINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
TESTING THE NEW .CGI PAGE
TESTING THE NEW .CGI PAGE
$Footer

As for Felix, the code does work. Sometime tomorrow or the weekend I'll have the page + code (instead of just codes).

I'll post it shortly - going out of town tho, so if it's not today, will be done Sunday. It uses whatever header/footer you use on your forum summary, so if you have sidepanels it uses them, if not, not

There's a problem with current implementations and the mainbuttons line, it's still being looked at.
If you want a php version, check the 2 mods I posted in the last couple of days in the mod forum... works real swell and should be a lot easier on the server as it doesn't use any ubb files directly.

Allen, I cant use that. I am running 6.3.1.1 and I dont have this: if($ubb eq "qmq") {
# Quick Member QueueI think I know the problem with the main link line. In your Games pages I lost IM link when I installed games.cgi, but it didnt bother me much. BTW do you have a fix for that? Cant you just strip the games for the games.cgi and lend me the script? or it is not that easy. Thank you, felix

it's not that easy.. everything I've been working on will probably not work on any ubb prior to 6.6 or 6.5, Idda know. I've been testing everything on 6.7.
There's too many older versions for me to install and test on each - just not enough hours in the day, sorry. Maybe PT's script wil work for you.

ACK...I apologize Felix for my absence. Hmm...OK. Now that I understand what Allen was referring to I need to take a step back. His .cgi page is a standalone (index) which you can see from the URL. With the version I have, you will have "ultimatebb.cgi" in front of the addy. Both are intergrated with UBB. The question I guess really depends on what you wish to do with your .cgi page. Again, I apologize for your wait.

Ops, we were writing posts in the same time, you were little faster though. I just need an empty page with the header and the footer where I can stick the another page (just like Allen did with the Games page) - a Photo Album, so it will integrate in the style and look like is part of the board, that's all. I know Allen's is a stand alone, and it was so easy to add, this is what I was trying to do, I thought it would be simple. But if that creates problems and takes too much time from your part I will give up, I dont want to be a trouble maker. Thanks again and there is no need to apologize, I understand

Creating an index page like Allen's I'm afraid not. With his page you should be able to do what you want to do. Creating a (blank) extension UBB page, in which you can add your own content, I can do. The difference is that with my page it's not standalone (it's a part of UBB)...The URL will look similar to: http://www.blah-blah.com/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?blank_extension_page With Allen's the URL will look like: https://www.ubbdev.com/ubbcgi/index.cgi
