Well a lot of people have asked for this hack, and while some had problems installing it, most seem to have it working fine. I wrote the code for 5.39b, but it should work on later versions with minimal or no changes. I've created a text file with the directions, follow the CAREFULLY as this hack can get very involved and confusing if you don't watch what you're doing. As always, remember to back-up your files first!

How does this differ from your hack that you posted here?

Thanks, Slurpee. This post will be much easier to find, I think.

Incidentally, after uploading the changes, I didn't think it was working for me. I updated threads, reindexed and the username doesn't show up for prior posts. New posts, on the other hand, do.

Are you sure it has replys after the post. If not then you have to post a reply to get it to work.

Yes. In fact, one of them has 15.

Update: If you have this problem, you may need to set General Settings with update thread count/time turned on more than once. That seems to be all it was.

Txs, again, Slurpee!

Slurpee, I have a question. I'm using the latest version of your hack, and as far as the first few threads on the forumdisplay page are concerned, the link to post option works just fine.

Down the list, however, nos. are being added to the filename as if there were more than one page to the thread. For example: At http://www.babygiftset.com/cgi-bin/...on=topics&forum=Anything+Goes!&number=20 the link to cali's post on the top thread is fine. But the link to Sarah H's (and all thereafter) have the extra number (000043-3.html#Sarah+H02-01-200012:27 PM). As the posts move down, this number is added, increasing by an integer of 1. So only the first few link to the post correctly.

Can you help me with this? I've triple-checked the code. Someone else is having this problem as well ( http://www.scriptkeeper.com/ubb/Forum22/HTML/002448.html ). But things seem to get lost much easier on Scriptkeeper's forums.

Hate to say it but....Ditto http://www.mrcs.net/board/mrcubb/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi?action=intro
First 2 are fine after that its a file not found

Hmmm....guys try changing this line in forumdisplay.cgi:

if ($thesetotal > 0) {

to

if ($thesetotal > 1) {

See what happens.

The link that works:http://www.mrcs.net/board/mrcubb/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000119.html#kec95February 02, 200012:07 AM

The ones that dont: http://www.mrcs.net/board/mrcubb/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000117-2.html#PhixionFebruary 01, 200008:50 PM

Btw..The change made the first one not link...
Oh well I guess it wont work on 5.43?
Great hack though,Cant wait to get the bugs out

for (my $i=2; $i< $thesetotal; $i++){

Changed this to:

for (my $i=20; $i< $thesetotal; $i++){

in forumdisplay.cgi
And it now works To guess what ???the 20th thread

One evil issue though.....
If the threads are more than one page, Its killing the cpu looking for the last post...

Same here. *Sigh* Oh, well. I've unlinked the name for the time being. But this would be a cool trick, if I could figure out how to get it working.

Great hack. It should be included in the next version of the board.

You ever get it Chan?

The Rock

Come on people, someone can answer and make this version bug free. Thanks
The Rock

I can not beleive this. This forum itself is using this and no one is telling me the fix for this code

I think exactly as TheRock....

this version doesn`t work for ubb 5.44a but this board itself has ist... so please post the code here.....

thx

I added this hack, under the assumption that I am better than everyone else and it would work magically(just kidding)! Well, I have the same problem as everyone else.

So, any idea what is wrong?

Slurpee -

I am trying to add this hack but in ubb-libary you are calling to find chomp($checkit[7]);. but in my copy version 5.38c. I don't have any thing like that.

This is where I stopped just due to this.

Please help.

Jerry

What´s about this hack in later ubb versions? It don´t work in privat areas.

Well i just wanted to say i upgraded to 5.44b
and put this hack in with no problems. I have it linked to the profile. That may make a differenceas to why people are having problems. Wanted to say thanks for the hardwork of making this hack.

Matt

I am using 5.44a, without the profile linking. No luck...

how do you make it work in private forums?

I'm using this hack in 5.43d (taken from the database) and it works fine. My advice for those of you who can't get it to work is: Try reinstalling it.

Just a thought

problem, when i try to update threads in the general variables area and check that option you say to check it wont go through the process of updating the threads, it goes to forum 1 them goes to a blank page next. I don't understand what is wrong at all.

Still looking for help on installing this in version 5.38c.

I do not have the line chomp($checkit[7]);
but what I have is:
if ($checkit[6] =~ /N/) {
$AddN = "N";
} else {
$AddN = "";
}
if ($checkit[1] eq "$threadnum") {
if ($openclose eq "open") {
$checkit[6] = "$AddN";
} else {
$checkit[6] = "X$AddN";
}
$newline = join("|^|", @checkit);
push(@theupdatedts, $newline);
} else {
push(@theupdatedts, $checkthis);
}
} # end foreach @threadsum

Could someone help with this?

hunter

I feel so cool. I got this hack to work the first time (well, after i remembered to change the permissions on the files after uploading them). Thanks for a great hack with easy instructions.

Okay since no help has been forth coming I have been playing around with it myself.

below
foreach $checkthis(@threadsum) {
chomp($checkthis);

I added the chomp($checkit[8]);

But changed it to chomp($checkit[7]);

then in in forumdisplay I changed:
$lastAuthName = qq( );
$lastName = $threadinfo[8];
$lastName =~ tr/+/ /;

to
$lastAuthName = qq( );
$lastName = $threadinfo[7];
$lastName =~ tr/+/ /;

It's working.

hunter

Hmmm...just noticed something - dont know if its a problem or not. I have the last user to post listed for each topic, which is great - that's working, along with the link to the post.. However. Last user to post is NOT displaying for the forums as a whole (on the main page). Did I do something wrong, or is that a different hack completely?

Mikal that a different hack that you can find at http://ubbcodehacking.com/ubb/Forum7/HTML/000007.html.

hunter

Cool - I love to hear i didnt get anything wrong - BUT, that url doesnt work - how about a name for the hack so i know what to search for? - Thanks.

try the link again it works.

hunter

Anyone get this to work with 5.45b???

I see it's up with this forum but having all kinds of things disappear on me when I tried to implement the original message.

For instance, after the 2nd post, it stopped tracking who the last one was. I also lost the total posts, and origin of the poster (set in General Settings) when one posts a new post or a reply.

I saw a lot of questions but no one seems to answer. I know it's doable but would appreciate any help.

I too had the same problem, i had to have cal help me with my ubb_library2.pl to get it back to normal, thats where it screws something up. Im not sure this works for the latest 5.45b. It possibly does, but unless you know perl pretty good you wont be able to tell what your doing wronge

Lots of hacks are not compatible with 5.4.5 because of the way it handles profile fields. In time they should all be updated/fixed.

Just a thought

Took a while to hack in, but works well in v5.45b using Slurpee's directions . I didn't do anything different than he says.

Ok... let me get rid of Mutt's UBB Code Buttons and see what happens.

Excellent Hack Slurpee!

Just put it into 5.44 using profile linking without a hitch per your instructions!
