UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6.4 - 6.7 Modifications [6.4] Chat Mod

That's right, LK, I almost forgot about that. Can you give us a list of the other servers (URLs) that would work with this hack?

What I've don is create an imaginary SOp user called Gunther. My members know who he is and that he's just there to keep the room open. Since I have two computers in my office I just log on the the chat with one as Gunther early in the day and leave him there so the room is open. We get a kick out of Gunther.

http://www.mirc.co.uk/servers.ini
all the URLs after "SERVER:" should work... (for example the first one there is "irc.dal.net")

Many thanks for this LK and CatcherMan. I didn't want to seem negative, I was just a bit frustrated as it took me a while to get to grips with this. Will give it a try...

The Show URL button in the chat doesn't work except for the person that hits it. It used to open a new window with the link for all users in the chatroom, but it's not doing that anymore.

Any help?

I still am not past that java.lang.classnot found exception. When I go to the chat, it doesn't pop up the applet anymore like it used to, it just says the above.

anybody try this on 6.5 ?

Can anyone please explain why the "Show URL" button doesn't work anymore?

If you click on it and enter a URL into the pop-up window it's supposed to open a blank page and go to that URL for all users in the chat, but it no longer does that. It only opens the new window for the user that submits the request.

And, yes, it works on 6.5 sixpax12.


p.s. I have triple checked my Control Panel settings. They are set to allow this operation.

After some digging yesterday, with LK and dj_rava, we came to realize that the problem I mentioned above is a bug in the Java applet.

I contacted JPilot about it and here is my reply:

Thanks for your help LK and dj_rava. We'll get to the bottom of this.

appearantly jPilot did hear BOTH your requests and has already fixed them:

Sweet!!!

Now, tell me again, how do I make this new version available to all of my chat members?

you put the "classes" folder on your noncgi dir, and overwrite all files necessary. (some files aren't overwritten, like your personal sounds)

LK:

I followed your above instructions with no problems, but I don't see anything different in the chat room - am I suppose to see anything different?

It's only bugfixes, thus you shouldn't see anything new

Thanks LK for all of your assistance.

I'm in your chatroom now and the bugs aren't fixed, although it seems like you did upload the new applet (by the way, some smilies are in the UBB default way, like " ")

Also I suggest you in your Chat Settings (in the control panel)'s "Username" field type something short (like "cman"), cause the IRC server is making problems.

Edit: I checked in my board and the fixes do work there... (2.7.1 beta ofcourse) I compared and you have the same version as I have for all 3 applet files.. very odd...

It's working. Maybe you checked too early.

I have noticed a problem still with hyperlinked text. It won't always make a URL into a clickable link.

It's working when I choose no color/bold, but I tried using blue with bold and it didn't work..

I see what you mean... but if I put a space before it when I type a url, even with the formatted text, it works. Strange. It must be the embedded formatting code that does that. I'll send another email to JPilot.

I got the chat up and going, but no link on the ubb page. Can somebody help?

Re-modify public_forum_summary.pl. if you have JC Templates, make sure you modify that template in noncgi/Templates/JCTemplates folder, not just in noncgi/Templates.

it says in the instructions that ubb_forum.cgi is modified. I don't see the instructions on what code to modify. is this why mine isn't working?

thanks LK..... one more problem... it only says chat... nothing else.

Your's says "Nobody is in the chat room"

Again here is the link.... sorry to be such a pain.

http://www.hallsofavalon.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

Young dude, I really need more info about "not working", and no, it's not because of that...

HOA, http://www.hallsofavalon.com/cgi-bin/chat.cgi?f=summary - it gives me 500 ISE. check your server's error log to see the problem...

It must have been a one time thing, I checked it several times.... it's working fine.

[Fri Jul 11 15:44:03 2003] [error] [client ***.***.***.***] Premature end of script headers: public_html/cgi-bin/chat.cgi


I found it now..... I edited out your IP.

Found a couple of others while browsing


File does not exist: public_html/UBB/classes/Chat$COMClassObject.class

File does not exist:
public_html/UBB/classes/ChatBeanInfo.class

hmm... it doesn't help me

what's your first line of ultimatebb.cgi?

#!/usr/bin/perl

# Whoops! If you see this message in your browser, your web hosting provider
# has not properly mapped the .cgi file extension to Perl.
#
# Please contact them for more information. Mapping .cgi is easy for both
# Unix and NT servers, and usually only takes a few seconds.

The first line of coding is:

BEGIN { # get our modules directory set up
($0 =~ m!(.*)(\|/)[^/\]+!) && unshift(@INC, $1, "$1$2Modules");
$| = 1;
}
END {
# print "

---

" . UBBCGI::escapeHTML($warnhandler) . "

";
$filehandle && ref($filehandle) && $filehandle->cleanup();

Okay, so it's more complicated
(I thought maybe it's #!/usr/bin/local/perl)
usually when it says that error it means that it doesn't print anything, but I can't understand why in this case... I can't solve it without having FTP access to your server...

I trust you, if you wanted to take a look LK. I could PM you the username and password.

good... but I suggest that when you give someone the FTP username/password, change the password before you hand it to him and change it back after he's done working on your site...

Thanks LK...

I had no problem installing the hack (MultiHack rocks! )

However...I purchased a license key last night and I went to the upgrade page and entered it and it and I guess because it was so new I didn't see any changes to it.

Now then the new key works on my original chat room (version 2.7.1)

http://www.ronaldreagan.com/jirc/chat.html

But my UBB chatroom says that it's unregistered.

http://www.ronaldreagan.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=chat

What could I be doing wrong?

------------------EDIT-----------------------

Nevermind...I figured it out.

My license key was newer than the applet files that came with the hack...DOH!

Hi, I am trying to install Chat in 6.5.0 and have upgraded my jPilot key but it still says ## evaluation copy. My license key is:

LicenseKey=v3:turboford.org:704262158794110903989942802005867294711677549563314...more numbers you don't get

Do I use the entire key or just the numbers? I email jPilot and they weren't much help.

Thanks

anything after LicenseKey= I believe.

Read my post above yours.

It's because your license key is newer than the applet files that came with the original hack.

Dowload the 2.7.1 (beta -solves several problems) and upload the new files to your server (overwriting the ones that came with the hack).

Here is the zip file that contains the new 2.7.1 applet files to go with yur new license key.

Hi, I have the problem that the chat-server says, may IP is not allowed.... what can I do?

Thanks
d-talk

Thanks for the reply. I downloaded the newest production release before posting and it did not work. I did not try the beta, I am not much of a beta guy when I paid $99 for the license...

Anyway, I tried it and the beta does work! Thanks!

Chris

Ehhhhhhh?...$99 dollars??

I only paid $49 for mine and the only reason I did was it's supposed to be a lifetime license.

Also if you read on the fourth page of this post, the 2.7.1 Beta fixes some known problems...so in this case "beta is betta"

https://ubbdev.com/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=33;t=000019;p=4

I believe it was a mistake, it still costs $49.99.
