UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 6 Bug Reports subscriptions.pl bug (maybe)

When running 'subscriptions.pl' I get the following error message.

Notice the // between 'languages//subscriptions.pl'

Error message

Thank you.

Hmm, looks like I made a booboo when porting this from PERL to PHP. That line should look like this:

# -----------------------------------------
# require the language file for this script
require "$config{'path'}/languages/$config{'language'}/subscriptions.pl";

Tis different, eh ;-)

Hmm, do you have the unshift line setup properly in the subscriptions.pl file along with the variables in the w3tvars.pm file?

I believe all is well.

You also might need to edit unshift line in subscriptions.pl. You might need
to change the path to the actual location of the main wwwthreads directory:

unshift(@INC, "/home/httpd/html/wwwthreads.com/php/cron");

unshift(@INC, "/correct/path/forum/cron");


# Url to the cgi-bin containing the WWWThreads php package
$config{'cgiurl'} = 'http://talk.manchester-mi.org/forum';

# Path to the cron directory in your php installation
$config{'path'} = '/path/forum/cron';

# Name of the server running sql - (yourhost.com or localhost)
$config{'dbserver'} = 'localhost';

# Name of the database you created for the sql tables
$config{'dbname'} = 'talk_manchester';

# Name of the DBI driver you are using ('mysql','Pg','oracle')
$config{'dbdriver'} = 'mysql';

# Name of the database user to connect as.
$config{'dbuser'} = 'nobody';

# Password of the database user.
$config{'dbpass'} = 'xxx';

# Use sendmail or a SMTP server. If you are on a server that has
$config{'sendmail'} = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
# $config{'SMTP'} = 'name.smtp.server.';

# -----SITE SPECIFIC / NAVIGATION
# Title of site
$config{'title'} = 'Manchester Talk';

# Your email address
$config{'emailaddy'} = '[email protected]';

# SPECIAL FUNCTIONS----------

# Default language. Options are, big5, chinese, danish, english,
$config{'language'} = 'english';

# Which time format to use. The short format is Y2K compliant :)

# long = 'Sun Mar 7 10:19:48 1999';

$config{'timeformat'} = 'short1';

Bleh, another mixup on my part. That line that I told you to change. Go ahead and get rid of that thing altogether. You don't even need it in under PHP.

ok!

But will that fix this:

#doexpire.pl

Bleh[]/testimages/icons/crazy.gif[/]. You don't need this line in doexpire.pl:

use w3ttheme qw(%theme);

Thanks. Works great.

Ya know, my wife calls me high maintenance. What da ya think she means by that?

On that note, it looks like mail is intended to come as HTML. The tags are present but no worky. Where do you set the MIME type?

<b><i><font color=blue>Welcome to the Manchester Talk Discussion Forums.</font color=blue></i></b>

[]/testimages/icons/laugh.gif[/]My wife says the same thing.

Hmm, not sure about where to set this in PHP. It might be in the php.ini file but I'm not real sure. I'll see if I can find any info on it.
