So, about the beating up of the beta version :x...
BTW, for the gramelins, could you have it just define a url when it sences a gramelin's usage? Say using noncgiurl/gramelins/gramelin.gif

I kind of got sidetracked on the ubbnews.php after a couple of major projects cropped up this past fall. I'm getting this back on my whiteboard to address/look into further.
A workaround for the graemlin problem is to drop ubbnews.php in the noncgi directory. I'll have to examine the Z lines a bit more to determine if I can do a replace on the graemlins, or somehow break it apart and insert in the noncgi url from the vars_config.inc.php.
Regarding the quote/code/list fix, I have a tempoary one, however, it doesn't handle multiple lists correctly. I'm going to rethink the code that I injected last fall into my beta version. I think I'm going need to do a string find and count, then compare the open and close counts and append the appropriate number of closing tags.
If you want, I can post my current temporary fix, but I'll need to do further testing on my boards after I write a more permenant fix. I have an idea about how to do a more permenant fix, I just need to code and test it on my boards before I release it. It's not going to break the UBB, I'd just rather break my beta directory than anyones live sites.

I'm still alive.
I've been playing in Zend with the quote/code/list (Gotta love the Preview of the HTML and the ability to set breakpoints to examine varaible content). I did concept up a method of counting the open tags, and automatically closing the tags at the end of the teaser, regardless of where they are supposed to close. I'll probably be able to test that on a live board shortly.
The problem I'm running into on the gramelins is doing an outright replace on the img tags. If I append $NonCGIURL to all image tags, it would break any outside images in the feed. On the other hand, I cannot be guaranteed that I'm able to read /cgi-bin/vars_graemlins.cgi due to open_basedir restrictions. If I can be sure that I can read vars_graemlins, I can do some array work to "trim the fat" of the hash, and get it so I have just the graemlin image file names, and just do a search and replace on those file names. I could just include a base href, but would that break other parts of the page that it is feeding onto. That, I'm unsure of also.

perhaps have it compaire where the url is linking to? or if the url is linking to a directory named gramelins?
Yeh I'm using a base href, it's a pain in the butt... I had to recode parts of my entire news pages just to run this and have gramelins show lol...

Not all graemlins are in /noncgi/graemlins. Some are in /noncgi... Oh, and here's some beta code for the quote bug: Find: $postdet = substr($postdet,0,strlen($postdet)-strpos(strrev($postdet),$aspace)); Add After: $bot = substr_count($postdet, "<blockquote>");
$bct = substr_count($postdet, "</blockquote>");
if ($bot > $bct) {
while($bot > $bct) {
$postdet = $postdet . "</blockquote>";
$bct++;
}
$nodots = "TRUE";
}
$lot = substr_count($postdet, "<ul");
$lct = substr_count($postdet, "</ul>");
if ($lot > $lct) {
while($lot > $lct) {
$postdet = $postdet . "</ul>";
$lct++;
}
$nodots = "TRUE";
}

go into your CP and see what you have entered for your Non CGI Path.
Enter that

Eric,
1. You'll be able to use this, so long as your news forum is NOT a private forum (yes your board is closed, but a private forum is one that only restricted users such as admin/mod/ones you deem worthly can access).
2. It's a server path not web path. As Ian said, it'll be what's in your board configuration.

odd, I don't think ubbnews is supposed to print any of that, as it's meant to be included in another page.
Have you modified any of the code?

You can call it directly for testing, however it is meant to be used in an include() in a PHP page. http://thegeeksinc.com/ubbnews.php?forum=34&threads=3 Dumb question - Do you have the PHP Accelerator enabled???

No modification, only tried changing the path you suggested before.
Yes, I have the PHP accelerator enabled, and it is working.
Maybe something with the PHP installation? I´ll have the guy that installed it to have a look at this issue. If you don´t have any other clues?

I just don't see any reason why it's printing out the <html><body></body></html> and nothing else. I can't find anywhere in the code where it tells it to print that out

Can you post a URL to your ubbnews.php like my one above? Also a URL to your forums would be helpful.
I'm not outputting any DOCTYPE, HEAD, or BODY tags with ubbnews.php because I do an inculde("$siteroot/ubbnews.php?forum=34&threads=2"); in my index.php to get the feed. ($siteroot is a variable from my index.php script I use to define my root directory path)
If I can't see anything wrong with those, I'll either write some diagnostic code or have you send me your configured ubbnews.php and your vars_config.inc.php

Sub, if you ever want to turn the times into a format that is adjusted via users preference, I wrote this js function that takes the normal 12-31-2004 08:42PM and turns it into something workable. <script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function formatTime(input) {
var tippy = input;
var tippy_array = tippy.split("-");
var month = parseInt(tippy_array[0]) - 1;
var day = parseInt(tippy_array[1]) + 0;
if(tippy_array[2] != null && tippy_array[2] != '') {
var new_array_tippy = tippy_array[2].split(" ");
var year = parseInt(new_array_tippy[0]);
var newer_array_tippy = new_array_tippy[1].split(':');
hour = parseFloat(newer_array_tippy[0]);
if(new_array_tippy[2] == 'PM'){ hour += 12; }
var minutes = parseInt(newer_array_tippy[1]);
document.write('<span class="time">');
document.write(timestamp(new Date(year,month,day,hour,minutes,0), dfrm, null, 0, 0, 0, 0), "at ");
document.write(timestamp(new Date(year,month,day,hour,minutes,0), null, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0), '</span>');
}
}
//-->
</script>

Sub Zero: Coming by PM!
Probably something with my php installation, which i didn´t do myself. Will check that too, this week.
Thanks!

I can't find anywhere in the code where it tells it to print that out If there is no query string found, it bugs out and outputs nothing. It seems that IE/Moz like to invent tags when none exist. I've PM'd Eric with a different (and less cluttered) method of fetching the query string to see if that cures the problem.

:hopes for gramelins to be worked out: :hopes hopes hopes: heh...
I have an idea... Possibly have in the code and if/else statement, have it so that if it sees one of the core smilies stored in the noncgi dir it loads that path to it, else if it's not one of those and a path isn't presant it searches in the gramelins dir...

work at it this way. IMG tags only allow full urls, and graemlins use relative paths. Do something like $message = pregreplace("/src="Graemlins//", "src="$NonCGIURL/Graemlins/", $message);That's untested, and should only work with custom graemlins. You could also try something like $message = pregreplace("/src="biggrin.gif/", "src="$NonCGIURL/biggrin.gif", $message);for each of the built in graemlins.

I ran into a couple of things when looking at the graemlins:
1. the vars_graemlins.cgi looks difficult to parse via PHP
2. I cannot even be sure that I can read vars_graemlins.cgi due to open_basedir restrictions
So how do I determine what is a graemlin, and what is not without knowing what graemlins exist?

ok, I'm trying to put together a page that includes this news feed. For some reason, if I have any includes or scripts (such as content islands) after the one that calls this one, they don't work. If they come before it, they work OK. Any idea why that might be and what I can do about it?

ok, here's the URL... http://www.alex.to/experiment/virtual.html and here's the code: <!--#include virtual="/ubb/ubbnews.php?forum=1&threads=2"-->
<!--#include virtual="/ubb/ubbnews.php?forum=6&threads=3-->
<!--#include virtual="/ubb/ContentIslands/1/html.html" -->
<script src="http://www.alex.to/ubb/ContentIslands/1/html.js"
language="Javascript1.3" type="text/javascript"></script> see what I mean? Nothing below the ubbnews lines shows up.

it's a PHP include, I don't think a virtual include will work... although I can't read anything on that page anyway
