UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6.4 - 6.7 Modifications [6.5] [finished] Quick Reply

Original Author: Greg Hard and LK

Author: Gizzy (Gizmo@undergroundnews.com).

Description: This modification will impliment the "Quick Reply" feature as shown here on UBB Dev.

Requirements: Valid license, UBB™ 6.5.0, Vars_Wordlets_Mods.

Download: Text

Demo: Here, UGN Security

Note: I recieved a few emails about people wanting this ported to 6.5, I figured that since the code didn't drastically change from 6.4 that I'd get to it now.

Special Thanks: ADWOFF & Brett for testing and bug fixing.

Hey Gizzy,

The good news is that when I applied this hack--I already had it installed, but had problems with the profile/registration--I can get into the profile area.

The bad news is no matter if I toggle "yes" or toggle "no" for showing the QuickReply, the QuickReply box remains in place.

Did I miss a step? What code should I look for?

Thanks!

Humm, odd... I'll poke at it in 10 minutes or so.

Umm now I'm really puzzled! lol, you're correct, its not hiding the Quick Reply... On an even odder note, you can't disable it in your profile either, so something is conflicting somewhere ...

::shouts for help::

Can someone please verify weather or not the 6.4 version does this? Or better yet, anyone want to try issue a fix? I'm not exactly sure whats wrong ...

I don't have this installed, but from looking at it, here's my thoughts.

Your saving the quick reply preference in the 13th user cookie place, but your checking the 10th. Replace all 'user_array[10]' in public_topic_page.pl or whatever it is with 'user_array[13]'.

Humm... The cookie place is set to be 61 (I believe), I've tried playing with the array to no avail, any help would be apreciated Brett, as always ...

No no, i see the cookie is set with the correct value, but the javascripts are just looking in the wrong place. Try this, it's untested, but if it doesn't work, i'll go install it.

::tag:: you're it!

I just installed it, and it went fine with the changes i made. Gizzy, that part of the code is useless(that you quoted).

::mumble:: file will be updated in a little bit if this all works ::kicks UBB.Classic 6.5::

Brett, thank you!

Gizzy, thank you, too!

Between the two of you, this is working for 6.5.0!

Thank YOU!

Ok, text is updated .

FYI, the 6.4 version works perfectly, it seems that we just needed to change something for 6.5 (which is odd, go figure)...

Thanks for your help Brett .

hey, thank you for updating this, now I can use it

Welcome allen ... It'd never have been completed without Brett's help ...

Now to seek assistance on the news fader and I'll have another mod ported ...

here's an mhp if someone wants it. It'll show errors for the last 2 steps because it's predicated on earlier steps being done

clicky

For the sections of code that was commented out, is there any reason to still add in commented out code?

example:
[code][/code]

Well, I figured I'd leave the comment there until they decide to use certain things, but I guess its not really needed anymore, just an extra step and all ...

I've noticed that some old code is being left in there, commented. I think the thinking was to help out hack author/readers in finding code that may have been replaced with something different.

But that part of the code, I'm thinking &exochomp is gonna be used instead of chomp from now on. (wish i got the trek joke out of that tho... )


(post #666 )

Rofl brett :x ::hides:: oh yeh, lookie at my title! hehehe ... its not announced yet though :x...

Brett, when you get a chance, could you try and see whats wrong with my News Fader mod? its not loading the total posts/topics for some reason ... I've never been so stumped on so many mods at once before lol...

heh, congrats!

I installed this and it works great except for one thing.

Everytime I try to access a user's profile I get this error:

Error
An error has occured:

(RequireCode) CGIPath/ubb_profile.cgi: syntax error at CGIPath/ubb_profile.cgi line 3, near "# $Id"

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


This is the only hack I have installed.

I unfortunately don't tet that problem at all... See my test board at:
http://www.promodtecnologies.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi

Which other modifications have you applied? Specifically one's which use ubb_profile.cgi

Errr. I just rehacked ubb_profile.cgi and all is well now, I must have just hacked something wrong before....

/me kicks himself in the head...

Lol, its fine, it happenes to the best of us ...

BTW: after installing it... no errors at all...

is not there... it is just gone... and something else... the date of the lastpost collum doest show up either anymore...


and something else, when i use the ubb accelerator the quickreply box will not showup at the screen.

http://www.djwebpages.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi
you can login with:
user: ubbdev
pass: password

i guess it has something to do with vars_wordlets_mods.cgi or isnt that being used in 6.5 anymore?

BTW: fixxed the date thing yet...

but i also found out thet the recent visitors are not shown when you press the forum home at the top....

Verify the instalation of mod wordlets. The onlyones that should be shown are:

Show Signature
Disable Smilies

mod wordlets are not standard in the UBB, you must install them on your own.

I must have some stray code within my main board that is interefering with this hack ... I've tried installing it with the Multihack file ... manually (i.e. search for the code & replace it) ...

And then, when I test it out, I get the infamous white pages that I described before in the New Members' Forum.

I remove the hack, and the white pages disappear.


Can anyone give me a clue as to what I should be looking for that is obviously in conflict with this particular hack?

I can't leave it up and let you check it out--because I'm not going to deal with the white page issues on my main board; my test site doesn't have these issues--and I basically transferred the files from there to my main board.

I never had that error :-/... I guess it's why I only apply via txt's lol...

I have had it running on 6.5 with no problems at all.

in Public_topic_page.pl it says replace $preview_button with $preview_button &spellcheck_button ..I don't have a $preview_button .. I use JC templates and have installed several other hacks not sure where or when but i no longer have the $preview_button line....any ideas as to where i need to place the code??

If you don't have the $preview_button then add the $spellcheck_button immediately after:

[code][/code]

GREAT!!! That got it. thanks PrimeTIme

Hey ADWOFF. Still experiencing those same issues eh? Do these "white pages" appear when a user is logged in or as a guest?

I made a qdown.gif for dark backgrounds. Here it is if someone wants it.

OK I got a problem I installed this hack and it worked fine, I then turned on the whos online feature and my partner changed the wordlets and now the quick reply box is missing it is nowhere to be found can anyone help me out?

Peter

is it possible to turn the standardview in the users profile to OFF so just users turn this feature ON in case they'd like to use it? i think this mod/hack will make my bbs even more nicer to use *g*
