Cool hack,
I have changed the code a little so it opens in a javascript window, No demo because my board is local, It wont take long to do add but backup your files first

First open Utimate.cgi

Find:
Put below:

Put below:
Sorry to put all this code here but I the file upload didnt work
make a new file called 'worldtime.cgi' overwrite your old one if you have got it and paste this into it
Sorry!
Good luck

I'm sure it's just me - but i cant find the code in ubb_library.pl to put the inserted code after.

die( &StandardHTML("Invalid characters in your submitted variables. The time and IP was logged.") );
}
return 1;
} # end SR

The above code just doesn't seem to be there. Is there a line number or an approximate area someone can refer me to to find it? I've gone thru the thing about 20x. I'm using v5.40.

Thanks.

line: 2279, in 5.44a

The following is my new error in the control panel after I submit a time offest. Can someone tell me what is wrong now. Also put a list of teh time offsets used already.


Error including required files: Can't locate tzvariables.file. in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/mach /usr/libdata/perl/5.00503 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-freebsd /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 .) at cpanel2.cgi line 49. Make sure these files exist, permissions are set properly, and paths are set correctly.

Great, i dont have a line 2279 in v 5.40. The last line is 2182. Can i just put it at the end?

Nevex - did you upload the tzvariables.file to where your other variables files are? Did you chmod it 777? Did you add the "require tzvariables.file" statement to both cpanel.cgi and cpanel2.cgi?

Mikal - yes you can just add that subroutine to the end of ubb_library.pl.

Like Nevex, I'm getting an error message of::

Error including required files: Can't locate tzvariables.file in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/libdata/perl5/i386-bsdos/5.00402 /usr/libdata/perl5 /usr/libdata/perl5/site_perl/i386-bsdos
/usr/libdata/perl5/site_perl /usr/libdata/perl5/site_perl/i386-bsdos/include .) at cpanel.cgi line 43. Make sure
these files exist, permissions are set properly, and paths are set correctly.

Except mine came when I just click on the 'time zones' link - not when i actually submit any offsets. I double checked - the permissions are correct on cpanel and cpanel2, both have the require tzvariables.file line. Paths to perl are correct on both files.

You put the the tzvariables.file where your other variable files are correct? (I'm just asking all the basics here to make sure nothing was overlooked)

Yes, its with the other .files, in the ubb folder (as opposed to the cgi-bin folder).

Yeah I did do that, I followed directions to the letter. I also sent you and email with my files to view.

I don't know what to say guys, I've looked through the code like 50 times and I can't see a problem. If it was a universal problem, everybody would be complaining, so that leads me to believe you are leaving something out, although I can't figure out what it is.

Do me a favor and answer my email and look at my code. You might find your answer there.

Find send it to me again and I will try to look at it a bit later.

GOt mine going - seems i very carefully and intentionally put hte tzvariables file in the ubb not the cgi-bin folder...sigh...and THEN missed that it was in the wrong place - thru THREE checks of my work no less *dies of embarrassment* -thanks for your help - got it working now.

In yer tzvariables.file the first line reads

$TimeZoneDisplay = "no;"

might wanna take a look at that.

almost deleted the whole hack cause of that little erorr.

sigh...


6. Now open "cpanel2.cgi". Look for the following:

require "ubb_library2.pl";

Right under that, add this:

require "tzvariables.file.";

See if u see anything wrong with the require line.

Is there anything other erros? Sheesh



------------------
Jason [AW3CPID: SNA]

I just d/l'ed this hack today and the error was still included in the zip...

[/B]

---

This is also still there:
Fixed those two errors and now after submitting tz changes I am returned a blank html doc

I can't add mat-t's javascript version of this. It screws up my UBB. Any help?

port to ubb6? I'll have a try

That would be good. I don't even think the World time hack was made for 6.0

will this not work as is with 6.1.x.x ?

would love to have it available for 6.1.x.x !!!

It hasn't be released yet for 6.1.0.

Yes it would be great to see this ported over

*hint hint nudge nudge*

lol I was making something like that for 6.1, but have been delayed by homework

EDIT:
it is actually ready to release, but unfortunately it don't work when the cache is enabled, so that's a problem, to say the least
