UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? Ubb.classic 6.7.2

HI,
We are currently running 6.5 and our board is modified so that the registration process and editing profile function links into our customer database (it all works great except the Welcome registration email doesn't go...we don't know why.)

Anyway, new users like to use the "report post" button on a message to reply rather than using the post reply button at the bottom or the top of the screen. Ideally, I would love to use a "reply" function on the post rather than the "reply with quote" that is stuck there by default. I haven't found a change for that though.

So, I saw Quick Reply in 6.7 and thought, Aha -- that will make it more obvious for the new folks, and helpful for the veterans. I was bombing through updating code to put our changes back into 6.7.2 to get folks back to our customer database for registration when I got to: /Templates/public_my_profile.pl

In that file, I would have needed to change a line to point to our edit profile function. But I noticed code right below that line (line 22) talking about OCServer and Groupee. Uh oh! I'm not exactly sure because I haven't read through all the scripts, but *where* are those servers? It looks like the profile isn't in the same place that it used to be!

Can someone tell me where the profiles going so that I can figure out what I have to do next?

We actually have a lot of info about our users already in our data base. And we run conferences where one of the things we can do is to include folks forum nicknames on their badges (because it's all right in our customer database...) We don't want to give that up.

Thanks,
Marianne

Groupee and OCServer are functions that are currently not publicly available. Those are in action at UBBCentral.com. They are not active without certain additional libraries and configuration changes.

You also should take a look at http://www.ubbcentral.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/9/57.html which is an announcement about a new product that is currently in development.

if you could post what you did to 6.5, I should be able what to do in 6.7.

Please include the 3 preceding lines, as well as the 3 following lines

These are lines 50-56 from /Templates/public_my_profile.pl in version 6.5.0:

my $profile_url = "http://forms.ptotoday.com/useCase/ubbEdit.jsp";

would be the proper line. that should achieve what you're asking for

Thanks. I haven't moved files over to upgrade yet. The thought did occur to me...it looks like there are a bunch of changes since 6.5 and I haven't crawled through the code -- I just changed all the previous spots.

What if something is impacted and I have to go back to 6.5? Will I be able to do that? OR what will be really munged?

if something goes wrong and you need help fast, give me an IM on "AFA IanSpence" on AIM and I'll help. Or send me a PM or (preferably) use the contact form at my site.

Thanks Ian -- I'll probably try to wiggle it in before the SuperBowl Game then.
