Look at this one:
http://www.unitedconservatives.com/ubb/Forum2/HTML/000528-7.html

MM,

It's still messed up. I fixed the profile error with the pipe problem, but the reg and search links are still messed up.

MM,

I have the reg link fixed using this code:

my $RegLinkHere = ($DisplayRegistration eq 'NO') ? '' : qq( profile | register | );
****************

The search link is still messed up.

find:


replace that with the new code

I've fixed all the links.

here is the complete code for the hack:
*Edited the other code out*

find:

if ($Header ne "") {
$Header2 = $Header;
$Header2 =~ s/UBBrandomX/$RandomNumber/isg;
$Header2 =~ s/UBBrandomY/$RandomNumber2/isg;
}
if ($Footer ne "") {
$Footer2 = $Footer;
$Footer2 =~ s/UBBrandomX/$RandomNumber/isg;
$Footer2 =~ s/UBBrandomY/$RandomNumber2/isg;
}

replace that with:

if ($Header) {
$Header2 = $Header;
$Header2 =~ s/UBBrandomX/$RandomNumber/isg;
$Header2 =~ s/UBBrandomY/$RandomNumber2/isg;
}
if ($Footer) {
$Footer2 = $Footer;
$Footer2 =~ s/UBBrandomX/$RandomNumber/isg;
$Footer2 =~ s/UBBrandomY/$RandomNumber2/isg;
}


All new code addons will be added to the bottom ~MM~
************************************

Just put the time and date of your latest fix either at the top or bottom of the text file.... that way I can click on the link and see if it is newer than the one I have without comparing the files to see if there is a change... kinda like a version number.

You could do something like:

v1-11-07-00-12:30pm

the next one could be:

v1-11-07-00-3:40pm

Once you get a "final" draft, we can give it a real documenting and post it to the database. If new changes are made after that, we can begin putting a bug fix/ change note at the bottom of the header info.

The code I pasted above has the header and footer fixes and the link fixes.

I just installed this hack in my beta forum---- it could be wishful thinking, or it may not be... but from what I can see- the change is noticable... and well worth it...
Excellent job MM... anything that speeds up the forum and drops the cpu usage of the server is a good thing in my book.. now if postings.cgi was faster... wooo hooo!

beta testing it here as well... let me know if you see any problems...

I guess that answers that... no header/ footer info in the latest version downloaded 10 minutes ago..

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

just put the old one back up... will look for the bug fixes from this thread before re-uploading..

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

OK.. testing now with NBA's posted bug fixes...

------------------
Allen

- http://www.stand318.com

seems quite a bit faster... let me know what you think...

The only fix NBA posted was the header one. nothing else changed in his code.

Holy MOMA!!!!
Ok,got it to work,,must of been an error on my end,,sorry
It works,,holy freakin fast!!
Thanks guys.

I've been reading and using this board for quite a while and don't post much. I just wanted to let you know that I just put this mod on my board (this is the first beta I've tried) and it is stellar. Kudos to all of you who have worked so hard to get it right. My board is pretty basic so I didn't have any header, footer problems.

Hi,

MM i am using the cosmatics hack, which means i got icons for search, profile, register etc.. etc... lines.

Is there a way to keep the icons with using this hack?

Thanks

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

I got also UBB hacks database

Can someone please tell me if I have the right version? It's running at: http://www.80sxchange.com/ubbcgi/Ultimate.cgi?action=intro

I did it this afternoon and everything seems to be working okay. How do I know if I missed something? I'm not really good at these hacks so I could use any help I can get...

I have everything working except the search link in the thread body... Was this updated somewhere inside your text file that I missed MM?

Other than that... everything I have seen so far indicates a signifigant change for the better!

Yeah, UBB is a poorly coded piece of *cough*. If you want to see what it SHOULD look like, have a look at an Ultraboard (UBB-inspired imitation).. it has database access, and decent coding... of course, it's absolutely impossible to modify without a degree in Perl, but nevermind. I've heard UBB 6 is supposed to be a lot cleaner.

Question: I'm still running a slightly outdated UBB version (5.45c) so I don't know if this is built in to subsequent releases, but this probably WAS the best mod I ever installed. If it's not in the currently circulating UBBs, I suggest you add it to your mod, MasterMind.

I fixed all the links and included Parker's header/footer fix in the code I posted yesterday.

You'll have to manually do the imgsrc= stuff to include the icons in the $myreglink line of the code.

No problem.

Parker Clack did the Header/Footer fix...I did all the link fixes.

Glad to be of help.

You referring to this one where it was removed?
I'll grab the text file again to see if I missed it...
The other post you did fixed everything but the search link, which is where I am stopped also.

so... can someone tell me what the link is to the latest version, which fixes all the problems with the "register" and "search" links and everything? thanks.

Could someone that has installed this please check their General Variables??
After installing it I lost the majority of the control panel controls. The major ones- (url, absolute paths) were there, but some of the others, (mostly toggle controls) were missing- the ones in the second column.
After uninstalling the hack I was able to access the GV's again, all of them- so I am assuming it has something to do with it?

Correction: it was just that. I lost all toggle controls:
IE- On/off, yes/no, etc...

That's a very interesting bug...
Did you hack anything else?

This shouldn't really do that. All we did was speed up ubb_lib2.pl

Yes- there are several hacks installed on my beta forum.
The ones that would add a line to cpanel2.cgi would be the newsfader hack alone I think (the toggle in the first column there worked fine, but the second column toggles were all gone).... Offhand I can't think of anything else that would have changed it. I will have to recheck my log at home.

I think this is an issue in my coding elsewhere. I found an error I have to take care of ASAP on my beta forum. I will let you know once I filter that issue out.

i had the same problem with the control panel. on the second or third page someone (i forget who) had posted the entire hack in their msg, and it had some stuff they had added, including -at the end- one line that edited my radio or something like that. cpanel uses ubb_lib2 to create the radio buttons it uses, and that line was bad, thats why the radio buttons all dissapeared in the control panel, take that line (with radio in it) out, or just intall from the current file mastermind has up and it will be fine.
