UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V5 Mod Questions Active Topics

alo!

was wondering if this hack (or something similar) could be added without all the SSI? meaning, could i alter it to simply list, say, the 5 most recent threads on my ultimate.cgi? (below the table? or, eventually, if this is all possible, i'd move the code into my news fader thingie, up top)

havent really checked thru the code. figured id ask if it was possible, first

------------------

anyone got active topics to create the static page in 5.45c ? Any documentation ou there

CopyCat - sounds like an a quotation mark issue. I haven't looked at the code, but try adding an equivilent line:

$UserName =~ /"/"/ig;

in somewhere. Something that performs a pattern search on the username, and replaces " with "

If you can read this, you're posting too close!

borg: where do u put that code?

i have the same problem with the whos online code. it dont like the charachters - ] [ it loads a blank white page if someone has those in there name...

------------------

I managed to work around this problem by simply setting the font color to my background before I included the cgi file. That leaves an open tag, shouldn't be a problem, but you can close it if you want with a print statement inside the cgi file.

There is still some IIS setting we have wrong that makes it print that header info, but I have no idea what it might be and don't have access to the IIS control panel

No, I'm pretty sure it's the pipes. I have a couple of users with pipes as well and active.cgi chokes on them. I think it screws up the order in this line or one like it in active.cgi:

$ordered = "$threads[10]|$threads[4]|$threads[2]|$threads[8]|$forum|$threads[7]|$threads[14]|$month-$day-$year|$hour:$min|$forum";

- Dave has a nice addition to this hack.

I made slight modifications that seemed to work. Most of the delimiter splits made use of the "|" pipe to seperate the fields instead of "||".

What I did:
Look for:
(@threads) = split(/|/,$_);
change to:
(@threads) = split(/|^|/,$_);

Look for:
$ordered = "$threads[10]|$threads[4]|$threads[2]|$threads[8]|$forum|$threads[7]|$threads[14]|$month-$day-$year|$hour:$min|$forum";
change to:
$ordered = "$threads[5]||$threads[2]||$threads[1]||$threads[4]||$forum||$threads[7]||$month-$day-$year||$hour:$min||$forum";

Look for:
(@threadheader) = split(/|/,$contents[0]);
Change to:
(@threadheader) = split(/||/,$contents[0]);

Finally,

Replace all $threaddata[2] with $threaddata[1]
Replace all $threaddata[4] with $threaddata[2]
Replace all $threaddata[8] with $threaddata[4]

Remember to back up!

hi... on my ubb i have active.cgi on my homepage like here... but the first topic on the top is blank...

only Last Updated on --20-100 at : with the bullet in front of it.

the other 4 topics (i set it to display 5) is ok... if i set it to 6 the first still blank with the stupid date: Last Updated on --20-100 at : and the 5 others are ok.

any idea?

thanks

------------------
Sorry for my english... i speak french.

TyRaN = tyranausaure

Ack...can someone please help me?

I have three sctive.cgis each one filtered differently for my front page...

Well someone with a space in their login posted....

Now it won't update at all?
I posted some tests and still no update?
Chmoded everything 755...tried 777 even...

It worked before - have no clue what changed...

Indexed and updated threads...
No errors associated with it...

Any ideas?
Is it because of his login?

My website is
http://www.thepharmforum.com/newfrontx1.shtml

Thanks!

Update from above post:

Deleted the active.htm file
to see if it would update

Got an error...may be that the



is not executing properly?

I got the same 500 ISE on mine as well. I call up the active.cgi via the browser alone. Ive tried all the settings in the active.cgi file. Path to perl is set right and I dont need ssi for this yet. And nothing but ISE errors. What is the remedy for this problem. Thanks.

Bringing back an old topic here...

Does anyone have a hack for the Active Topics that supports multi-page threads? The only version I've seen (and the one talked about here) will always go to the first page, regardless of how many pages the thread actually has.

Any help with this one would be greatly appreciated, fellas.

Thanks in advance,
TomKWS

D00dz, any help would be seriously appreciated.
