Fixed a security issue in rate.cgi. Please download the ZIP again.

Sorry,

Great hack, Thanks Philipp. One thing though, to get it to work in NT/IIS, you have to add the following before the required files line:

#If you are running UBB on IIS,
#you may need to add the following line
#if so, just remove the "#" sign before the print line below
#print "HTTP/1.0 200 OKn";

print ("Content-type: text/htmlnn");

eval {

($0 =~ m,(.*)/[^/]+,) && unshift (@INC, "$1"); # Get the script location: UNIX / or Windows /
($0 =~ m,(.*)\[^\]+,) && unshift (@INC, "$1"); # Get the script location: Windows

#substitute all require files here for the file

Also add a closing bracket to last line.

Cheers

Thanks spiffy. The hack is already compatible with IIS .

eval {
($0 =~ m,(.*)/[^/]+,) && unshift (@INC, "$1");
($0 =~ m,(.*)\[^\]+,) && unshift (@INC, "$1");

require "UltBB.setup";
require "ubb_library.pl";
require "Styles.file";
};

print "Content-type: text/htmlnn";
.....

Cheers Philip. I had to comment out a few lines in ubb_library which was returning the message to registered members that their (valid) username was not in the database.

Also do you know how to modify it so that it takes us back to the same forum page rather than to the rate page. Great Hack!

--

my $ProfileNumber = "";
FINDNUMBER: foreach $line(@memberslist) {
if ($line =~ m/^$GetNameClean|!!|/) {
($MatchName, $ProfileNumber) = split(/|!!|/, $line);
chomp($ProfileNumber);
last FINDNUMBER;
}
# else {
# &StandardHTML("Sorry, The record for this username is not in our database.");
# exit;
# }
}

Can you help me?

------------------
I love UBB!

I fix this in one of the next updates.

Added in "Rate this topic" v1.1

Yes I would prefer it if this hack could be enabled on specific forums. Also, what is to prevent someone from rating a topic multiple times?

How do you get it to work in PRIVATE FORUMS? I can get it to right to the private forum dir, but for somereason, nothing shows up. I think it is because of the messed up folder names (like kju5j43) that the private section creates is causing it.

Any solutions?

Same problem like "loveubb"

How about people posting multiple votes? Or restricting it so that only registered users can vote. ... can we expect these?

Just posted Rate this topic 2.0

New in 2.0:
- IP Logging to prevent multiple votes
- Delete topic delete also the ratefile

I've seen this mod in action (not seen the code tho). Here's a thought: How about changing the mod so that you submit your vote when you reply to the topic? (And if it's tracked, your vote could be removed from the total if you delete that post) That way, you know who's voted, and that they've only done it once...

your link to the zip is incorrect. please fix? would really like the v2.1 of this hack.

------------------
this is my witty .sig

any fix for getting a black cell in the rate column when viewing with netscape, and no votes having been cast?

for an example, peep this .

------------------
this is my witty .sig

Yes, update the link please. I would like this hack.

I put a 1x1 pixel transparent spacer gif into the rate cell so that if no data is passed (there's no rating) then in Netscape it'll read the image in the cell and use the standard background color. Hope that helps...

Last change on forumdisplay.cgi:

Its easier than that. Look for the hack code that sets rate = " ";

change to

rate = "& nbsp;";

Remove the space between the & and the nbsp in the real code.

Philipp: both download links are dead links
And your demo doesn't have the hack installed. I saw a working demo on the poetry page..

Anybody have the 2.1 version available?

Etienne

Hello...

I have installed RateThisTopic hack version 2.2, and it all looks fine. But the minut I press GO! I get at 500 Internal Server Error with the rate.cgi file.
Why ????

I have installed it on Apache server with perl 5, and I have tried and tried to do all the things in the readme file: Type in the UBB-cgi path and turing Flock on/off.
Nothing helps.

I very much a UBB hack newbie, so please help me

Scriptkeeper.de has the latest version available
http://www.scriptkeeper.de/Ultimate_Bulletin_Board/UBB_Hacks/Hacks_fuer_die_lizensierte_Version/

Try the follow:

Replace

if ($ubbcgi eq "") {
use FindBin qw($Bin);
use lib "$Bin/../lib";
$ubbcgi=$Bin;
}

require "$ubbcgi/UltBB.setup";
require "$ubbcgi/ubb_library.pl";
require "$ubbcgi/Styles.file";

with

eval {

# Get the script location: UNIX / or Windows /
($0 =~ m,(.*)/[^/]+,) && unshift (@INC, "$1");
# Get the script location: Windows
($0 =~ m,(.*)\[^\]+,) && unshift (@INC, "$1");

require "UltBB.setup";
require "ubb_library.pl";
require "Styles.file";

};

Thanks...

But it still won't work... I'm starting over again.

I'll get back with more info later.

IT WORKS

Finally it works... it was as simple as it could have been. All I had to do was to remove the -w in the #!/usr/bin/perl command, and then it worked.

can't get download..
popup window require username and password..

what account? i want download it

Well he must have broken the link just get the hack from SpAwN's Database

Thank ya

No problem.

**bump** any updated links?

I know this is old, but could someone repost this??

Thanks ...

Matt.

What do you want Re-posted?

how come SpAwN's Database is password protected?

how do we get in?

Spawn's site is a little stuffed at the moment, and spawn isn't around to fix it

But if there's anything you need from there, just let me know and I can probably get it for ya
