UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V5 Mod Questions Latest reply by Username in forumdisplay 5.46

I am currently writing a mod to do just that, loosely based on Slurpee's, with mostly my own coding. Expect it in the next week.

Your prayers will shortly be answered...

------------------
--Dark Templar

Ok, it's all written! Works flawless on mine, so I'm releasing it as a finished Mod.

Major thanks to Slurpee for the ubb_library.pl coding.

Note that this only lets you link to the user's latest post, and not their profile. Next release probably will include it.

------------------
--Dark Templar

whoops, I just discovered the ONLY bug in it-if it is a multiple page post, it doesn't go to the second page. A minor fix, it will be done soon.

------------------
--Dark Templar

OK! I got all the code ironed out. The link now is to the new version, v1.5.

Thanks again to Slurpee, I tweaked another little bit of his coding and now it works perfectly.

This works on my 5.46, and should work on all of yours.

------------------
--Dark Templar

UPDATE!!! It is now version 1.5.1; I changed the size of the latest reply text in forumdisplay.cgi and removed an extra tag.

Ah thanks a bunch!

No problem; I needed this hack myself, that's why I worked on it.

UPDATE!!!
Version 1.5.2-Fixed some minor directions changes; The end wasn't clear that after you uploaded and chmodded, you had to rebuild your forum files via general controls, and then you had to update threads.

UPDATE AGAIN!!! Version 1.5.3 now gives explicit directions for if you use MasterMind's Anchor hack.

Where can I find the code where it works in 5.45c?

This does work in 5.45...

Yeah, there's no real reason why it shouldn't work in any version of 5.45.

Hey!!

Your hack work great in public forum... But in my Private forum, dont't work...

What can i do?

thx

@+

At this point it doesn't work in private forums. I'll see what I can do to make a private forums addon.

------------------
--Dark Templar

Ok, I just wrote an addon to this Mod so that after the "Latest reply by:" part, it will link to the person's profile instead of the actual post.

To link to the member's bios-

In forumdisplay.cgi, find:

REPLACE it with:

That should do it. I didn't publish that formally before because I personally like to make the latest reply link to the post. I'll add it to the next version of my Mod.

When do you do the add for the private forum ...
The name of the author don't appear in private forum..
I hope you can do this ...
Your add could works with all version of the lastusername mods ??
Thanks

That add-on ONLY works on MY hack.

------------------
--Dark Templar

and when i can found this add on for private forum ??

There IS NO addon for a private forum, at least not yet. I still have to make it.

------------------
--Dark Templar

we can expect to see this add on for next month ??

You can expect the add-on tonight or tomorow.

------------------
--Dark Templar

Great news ....thanks you dark templar

After a couple hours of working on the coding, testing, and the like, I have half of the private forum add-on working. It'll be a little longer than I thought at first; I am having trouble finding just the right variable for it.

------------------
--Dark Templar

Well when you do, I'm installing this mod straight away. Good work!

Alrighty. Since it works flawlessly now, in private forums and not, I have decided to release it as version 3.0.
http://theultimagamers.hypermert.net/ubbhacks/latestforumreply546.txt

It works on 5.46+ guaranteed, and it should work on prior versions.

------------------
--Dark Templar

Imporant note! Remove and redo ALL of the forumdisplay.cgi coding for this hack if you are updating from a previous version of this! Also, if you are upgrading from Slurpee's version, remove all of the coding from it, and install mine.

hey, dark templar...

im totally loving this mod. great job!

i have a question about it, tho... i worked it into my boards, but, for some reason, the last post bit doesnt appear on the main forum page (the category listing), just the level below that.

what'd i do wrong?

here's my boards:
http://www.robkamphausen.com/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi?action=intro

------------------
i have spoken
www.robkamphausen.com

nope. nevermind. me am not smart.

got it working now (didnt realize there wuz a different between "last post" and "last reply")

my bad!! STILL a kick ass hack, tho. thanks fer it! and...i guess, consider the above just an advertisement to my site

------------------
i have spoken
www.robkamphausen.com

Ok, I'm glad you got it all figured out now.

------------------
--Dark Templar

I am doing something wrong here... when I add this to 5.47b, I get a "cut-off" forumdisplay.cgi. Everything below the "Topic Topic Starter Replies Last Post" table at the top of forumdisplay is completely cut off. I upload a forumdisplay with the changes and it's fine....

Any ideas? I am pretty sure I have made the changes correctly as instructed, there's aren't that many...

Allen...go on ICQ and I'll talk to you through there . It's probably something so simple it was overlooked .
