Max. private forum secret code )
2. ON/OFF Support from the control panel
3. Supports the new multipage code by InfoPop Co.

Can I see a demo somewhere?

Anyway I can upgrade from 2.0 without deleting the 2.0 code and starting from scratch?

WEAPON ,
The new script uses an entirely new way of storing counting files . So you've to remove the old code completely and start again.

CT ,
I'll give you the link as soon I get my BB finished in a day or two.

I had a problem with it
Got the old ERROR, I removed the
} else {
$FolderLine = qq( $Forum);
}
from my boards.
Is this needed to make it work ?

No, I don't think this will prevent the script from running, anyway try to restore the $FolderLine and see the results.

I'm having trouble installing this hack. Everything seems fine after I upload them, I see the column for views, but when I click on a thread I get the 500 Internal Server Error


Any reasons why?

Check the Perl Path in postdisplay.cgi file.

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

I made sure the perl path was correct, and now I get a 500 internal server error when clicking on post new topic, or post reply.

can someone pls help me?


i think its somethin on postings.cgi

Well, someone was having the same problem [ ISE500 ]. I don't know what's the reason until know, can you access your server's log file ... this will greatly help us .

Help! I installed this hack and lost one of my hacks. I had the "Last Posted By" feature turned on and now the hyperlink is gone. It just says, By:

The counter works great, but how did I lose the "Last Posted By" Hack?

Here's my forum: www.nsxsc.com/bios

Thanks,

Bill

Hmmm, I dying to get this working but I have screwed up along the way. No posts are showing up and the colums are off.
Here is my UBB..... http://wheelspin.net/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi?action=intro
I think I screwed this forumdisplay.....

[admin edit]you cannot post a full ubb file online, it is definitely against licensing and could get you some serious trouble[/admin edit]

Hello wheelspin... you have a few things obviously wrong in forumdisplay... and probably postings.cgi as well. You might want to try it again... as it is an install error. You've got column names switched, the links to the threads don't work, etc...

As Allen said , It seems that you've got installation problem , try reinstalling.

Hmm this is odd and possibly the main problem. I even went to the original forumdisplay.cgi and it does not have this part...


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$extrapages .= ($PrivateMax eq 'yes') ?
qq($_ ) :
qq($_ );
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You are not running Version 5.47x . This hack requires that version exactly.

Kick ass, I upgraded to 5.47 and tried again.
It now works like a dream.
Thanks for your help guys

Question, Is this compatible with "Who's online" in 5.47d??

I wonder about the;

$ExtraInfo = "";

Thats in postings cgi

If you have Dave's Who is online hack , then skip the steps about $ExtraInfo ... It's already built in.

Regards

Hmmm, I ran into something odd. Everything is working properly but when I go to update my threads I get an "Internal Server Error".

Any Idea what may have caused that??

Sorry for the spam. I found 1 incorrect charecter in my postings.cgi which was giving me an IS-Error when I would update my threads.

I am running this hack on a WIn2k OS, and the UBB version is 5.47d. At first this hack works fine, but today it's all mess up!!
When I try to view a thread, I always get this message:

CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:


Undefined subroutine &main::check_input called at C:Inetpubrenetcgi-binpostdisplay.cgi line 56.

Can anyone please tell me what's wrong??

Did you past the code of ubb_library.pl ?

JB007:

I don't think I understand what you mean by "past ...".

If you mean "Did I modified the ubb_library.pl as you instructed?", I think I did.

It all started when I tried to add the "Attachment File Manager v1.6" and failed to do the hack.
After failing to do so, I changed the modified cgi files back to the old ones without the "AFM v1.6" hack, and things started to go wrong.

It's strange that the other UBB board that I set up on the same win2k server is affected also, even though I didn't do anything on that board. I got the same error message from the other board.

It's really strange...

Sorry, it's a typo [ paste ]
Anyway, open postdisplay.cgi , find the 3 require() statements, put your complete path just befor each file , for example:

require "UltBB.setup";

becomes

require "C:/Inetpub/renet/cgi-bin/UltBB.setup";

I think this is your problem.

JB007:

O.K., I just fixed the problem, but in a quite stupid way:
I reuploaded all the cgi & pl files, and did the upgrade steps from the control panel, and it worked!!!
That means I still don't know what went wrong, but at least my UBB is working now.
Thanx for your kindness to answer my stupid question, and your hit counter v3.0 is working great on my UBB 5.47d now!!!

the hack works great , but

1. it counts with first page only with the multipage hack .

2. i can't find this part in the forumsdisplay.cgi

Hi, I do exactly what you expalin to do in the .txt file but I was not able to find this code in my forumdisplay.cgi:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$extrapages .= ($PrivateMax eq 'yes') ?
qq($_ ) :
qq($_ );
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I do all the other things but nothing changed on my board
At the end of your txt file you say: "- Head to your control and enable your counter ( You can disable it later )."
What do you mean ? There isn't anything new in my control panel !

Thank you very much

Rutto

I don't know it anymore...

I've installed the hack, uploaded the files and turned the hack on trough the CP but I don't see a thing... Does anyone knows why? I have no idea!

[edit]
Ok, no more need.. It works now

[ February 14, 2001: Message edited by: Maxonic ]

ubbhacker is dead.

Where i can find this hack ???

Tanks.

I've got the hits counter installed, but, have noticed a problem with how it works.

In the General Settings for UBB (I'm using 5.47c, by the way), I have "Maximum Number of Posts Displayed Per Topic (HTML) Page" set to 15 Posts. Once a thread reaches 16 posts and is broken into 2 pages, the thread count is reset to Zero again.

How can I maintain thread counts once the topic is paginated??

Thanks.

Why are you keep on referring to ubbhackers? You make our mouth water over the hacks, then the links don't work. There are plenty of them like this.

JB,

I'm having this same problem.

Any suggestions?

Same problems here. We need multi-page support in this hack, please!

Anyone up to the challenge?
