UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6.4 - 6.7 Modifications [6.4 - 6.6] [beta] Shoutbox

bah.. I have no idea where it might 'fit'

can you give me one example and I'll figure out the rest?

Allen, maybe once per 10 lines of code put print "Content-type: text/htmlnn[line number]" replacing [line number] with the line number... But make sure it's not in the middle of something, for example don't put it in the middle of: but instead, put it in the end (after })

thank you.. I can do dat

ok, it printed out all the Content-type: text/html line numbers until the one after line 216, then it started printing the shoutbox, without any styles and all users were 'unregistered':

here is my current file:
https://www.ubbdev.com/ubb/upload/00000494/ubb_shoutbox.txt

and I can make new posts in it with it linking to my name, tho styles are still gone and the refresh for a new post doesn't work.

What does this mean?

"Software error:
Undefined subroutine &main::md5_hex called at /home/edndot/public_html/cgi-bin/ubb/ubb_lib.cgi line 395"

MD5 is installed - I am using the I-Frame method

Thanks,
Ed

Are you sure you're using 6.4? There's a 6.3 version in the 6.3 Beta forum if you're not...

Actually it is 6.5.0 Beta Release 1

make sure you've uploaded all the Modules folder for 6.5

It is uploaded - any other help?

it looks ok to me, tho I am not logged in... clear your browser's cache and check it.

Hi Allen,
What browswer are you using?

When I use IE 6.0 I get this:
"Software error:
Undefined subroutine &main::md5_hex called at /home/edndot/public_html/cgi-bin/ubb/ubb_lib.cgi line 395"

When I use netscape 7.0 I get This:
You are not logged in. You must be logged in (and registered) to perform this function.

Login or Register

Ummm?

IE 6, tho I am not logged in... got a test login?

Thanks Allen - The problem was my browser.

It can't be with your browser, it has to be a problem somewhere in your server...

I'm working on updating the }}}ChatBox{{{ to work with UBB.classic 6.5 ... it's almost there, and hopefully I'll figure it out w/o asking (begging) LK for help

For some reason it seems this part isn't working any more in the submit form:

[code][/code]Still looking into it... and still missing it. May have to begin begging LK

P.S. What's wrong w/ the time stamps on this board?

Mine works fine with 6.5 so not sure there. As far as the time stamps go, set your time zone in MY PROFILE and it corrects it.

Ran into a little problem this morning. All the shouts that had been posted had been removed or were lost. This follows me actually pointing out the DELETE X for users as they were posting corrections as additional shouts instead of removing and reposting. So, I posted a request as to who or what removed the shouts if known and received the following.
_______________________________________________

I was trying to use them last night (very early).

First, I could not see the [X].

I added a shout and then I could.

I tried to delete my shout and received a No Permissions error message.

I placed another shout to that effect.

I tried once more to delete the first shout, received "no permissions" and all shouts were still present upon refresh.

When I left, all were there. Just mentioning this in case it's bugged or something.
_______________________________________________
Is anything in the above scenario able to wipe all the shouts? I am aware of the fix in this thread and will apply it now... but would like to attribute the missing shouts to an error and not a hack.

Thanks!

Ok still working on this.

I created a new member, and my board requires that you be approved for membership. When you first register and are in the Registration Que the shout box shows

Content-type: text/html

Where the shouts would go and

User not approved

Where the input box would go. Makes it look kinda broken. Going to authenticate the test user to see if anything else is strange from the regular user point of view. My tester above claims after the Permissions fix he saw Delete graphics on ALL shouts after posting one ... going to test that now

Oh wow ... it DOES show the delete graphic next to every shout, but it appears it only deletes YOUR shout regardless of which one you press. Can you verify this is as intended LK, and that other shouts can not be deleted by some fluke?

Mike

I can't confirm it, go to https://www.ubbdev.com/ubbcgi/ubb_shoutbox.cgi?s=iframe or http://www.lkworld.com/cgi-bin/ubb_shoutbox.cgi and you'll see it only has an [x] near the last shout, if you posted it.

Does anyone notice anything wrong with this code below? It used to work before I upgraded to 6.5

When someone submits a shout in the ChatBox, the bottom frame and the top frame both reload and show the shouts. The bottom frame is supposed to always show the input form.

(You can see the ChatBox on the UBB in my sig)

in your shoutbox2, try to replace(untested):notice the TARGET thing in the end..

Does anyone know how to make my shouts go from botom to top instead of top to bottom. and also to have the text box and buttons at the top??

thanks

OK im dumb.. i didnt even look at the code.. i got it to go from bottom to top.. but i still would like the submit button there at the top as well. any ideas??

I'm having one small problem with it, if I delete a shout while in a topic, it'll reload the topic with "No Topic found" but if I do it on the main page it works fine, anyone else get this?

LK - Thanks! Now the submit box stays where it is... You da man!

nevermind, all of a sudden it works

I keep having this silly problem of which I suspect I'm really overlooking something obvious.

Im using iframes within a table, so far so good cos everything is working. Except that for some reason the shoutbox wont show the ubb smileys: the links keep directing to the cgi-bin instead of the normal ubb dir. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I tried to access your homepage, http://-/, but it doesn't seem to work If you still can't understand why the URL is a required field, can you just post here or in PM your _real_ URL?

woopsie daisy, it seems the process of waking up didnt complete, today.. ;D


My html source tells me that its looking for the graemlin in the root but when i checked the html source for other examples mentioned in this topic, the link was a complete link to the forums, eg src="http://www.domain.com/ubbnoncgi/smile.gif". Mine just says "src="smile.gif" where the root obiously is the cgi-bin... And i cant help it, i fear that ill add a shout "doh" when the problem is solved, it has to be something simple im overlooking.

Thnx for checking it out

That's pretty odd.. you can see in ubb_shoutbox.cgi that it replaces the regular smiley URL with the full path. For some reason it doesn't do it in your board..

A simple workaround would be to find:

[code][/code]isnt anywhere in my ubb_shoutbox.cgi... could that possibly be the cause? In any cause, i know so little about perl and cgi, i wouldnt be able to even guess where to add that line if not below the line you mentioned... Maybe i need to add it somewhere?

Oops sorry, $w is only in the unreleased version of shoutbox
Find:

Hehe, hope my being vague isnt infectious

Anyway, I've added the line below the other but unfortunately, it gave me a compilation error... Its such a great addon but it would be even cooler without the thumbnails... Any more suggestions? *crosses fingers and bellybutton*

Oops sorry, in the end of this line (after " />~"), add ";" (semicolon)...

Yesssss! thank you, works like a "smiling" charm

Silly me, i could have thought of adding the semolicon myself aswell but seems the vagueness isnt over yet

thnx for the help and the great addon!

hmmm.. does this take into account the timezones from 6.5 yet? mine is 2 hours behind me

http://www.praisecafe.org/ubbcgi/ubb_shoutbox.cgi

well thanks to everyone, lk and the godfather guy mostly.
I finally got my shoutbox working under TRIPLE frames. Yes 2 frames within a frame which I didnt even think I could do...
and regardless of what you have heard, UBB can be made to work within frames!!!
actually now my homepage includes my message board and SEVEN frames at once.
