Found a bug:

When you send a PM, the signature converts the UBB codes fine. But after the person replies, the UBB codes doesn't convert.

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

thermit...that not showing outbox thing... changing it to the ne, like you did, just avoids the issue. The problem is an error setting that variable to one of the other two things...

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

It seems to work ok here GoTo, at least when I send one to myself and reply... do you see something different? Are you using the same code as here?

DT, what have you found to fix the outbox problem?

Here's the screenshot and description:

I forwarded the test I did above as well. Send one back to me and check the output of your signature.

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

What I mean is how do I make the Email notification On from the start, and if my guests don't want notification they've got to turn it of, not the other way around!

I tried your solution but it didn't work!

I also tried to update to the latest files, but I just got a 500 error, last time I updated was the 24 Dec.

Fixed... new files uploaded with the fix. privatesend.cgi and privateread.cgi affected...

anderzzo, when you update, please be sure to check the perl paths on the files before you upload.

Nice looking site anderzzo...

Be sure and upload all the files from the latest update. You are getting an error because of capitalization errors... the subs htmlify and unhtlmify were lower case in private.pl, but since we are now calling them from ubb_library.pl, it has to be capitalized &HTLMIFY and &UNHTMLIFY

These are all fixed in the new files.

I forgot you are translating to dutch. I would recommend using Beyond Compare to update your files so you are sure to get all the changes, some are small and could be missed with most file compare programs.

Ok, I found several bugs. One I've fixed (very very minor):

1:


If you'll notice, up there, it states '$N onCGIURL" at the email_2.gif variable, well that's causing some problems. Take out the extra space. I told you it was minor.

2:


My log file excerpt. I can't track down where exactly this is happening in the code. It appears several places in the various private*.cgi files. It's putting the date in place of the $icon variable (I think) ...

Not a critical error, no one has complained about it yet... but my log file screams at me

I downloaded them 1 hour ago and I use Beyond compare! And yes I'm transelating to Swedish

found them all! Beyond Compare just marked them blue, that's why I missed them!
Thanx Allen!

How do I get the Popup notification for this and IM

is anyone using UBB on prohosting? (free)

im still getting a problem with be able to login. i put me login name and password it then goes to
You are now entering your private messages, Please wait while we create the new page ...
then goes back to login, I can send messages from peoples posts on the forum and it goes into the private folder but just wont login

Im thinking it might be prohosting, but I cant see why. I have used the latest update and have completly reinstalled ubb without any other hacks but it still has this problem.

BUK

Try these-

1. clear your cookies through the ubb

If that doesnt work...

2. clear your cookies manually using your browser

If that doesn't work...

3. Try installing UBB IM's.

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

Bug in PM?

I don't know if this is a bug. I have PM 3.8 installed and running, with HTML off. Whenever I send to multiple recipients, the first recipient gets the correct message but all the rest are getting the message with HTML codes in it.

However, when HTML is on, this does not happen.

Any clues?

When did you download your files? I fixed a couple of bugs regarding that last night... you might want to check the previous page in this thread.

I found 2 rather weird instances:

In the "Compose a Private Message" screen it says [IMG] UBB Code Not Allowed! under *HTML is OFF
*UBB Code is ON even though the image tag is?

I also found a variable called $MrBigglesworth in privatesend.cgi which I thought was funny lol

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


This message has been edited by GoTorankusuKu on January 04, 2001 at 12:45 AM

I have gotten familiar with MrBigglesworth myself GoTo...

The coding in this is kinda odd, we may need to check it out a little more closely:

This message didn't appear before because older versions (before yesterday ) were still using $PMUBBImages = "yes"; instead of "on"... now that the wording is correct, this pops up now...

It seems to me if ubbimages are on and ubbcode is allowed, then the [img] tag should be allowed... is that what you are reading? If one or the other are set to :no" or "off", then the imgbutton should be set to "isnot", but not when they both are allowed...

this is weird, I was having problems installing this hack, in that it kept going back to the login screen. I reinstalled everything and still would not work

I was using prohosting, and decided to try hypermart and guess what it Worked

so it I was right in thinking that is was prohosting messing it up, so if anyone is using prohosting and having the same prob, try hypermart.

im just glad it works ok now, but weird how it wont work on a certain server.

thanks for everyone that replied to my cry's of help

Allen, I downloaded the latest PM files and uploaded them to my site. With HTML Allow set to "no", I'm still having problems with html codes showing up in the messages received by multiple recipients.

Allen-try changing that code to the following:
(I don't have access to the pm files so I cannot verify whether it should be yes/no, is/isnot, etc.0

Edit-had to fix it some, I'll clean it up more tonight when my head's on straight .

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

That seems to have fixed it DT, muchas gracias... I'll update the download tonight...

Does anyone know where the process that sends the CC: pm is controlled? I really don't see it... I would like to get that duplicate .sig cleaned up and move this to 4.0 and to the finished forum this weekend as well...

Any other bugs we need to look at first?

Glad it worked. Simple perl coding error, it previously would tell you the image code wasn't allowed if ubb code was on and ubb images were on, just had to change that to if ubb code was on and ubb images weren't .

I can clean it up a bit more later, so it doesn't have to check so much stuff.

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

Hi,
what about the double
in ubb_code_buttons.pl ?

-BUG-URGENT-

When sending a new pm, it doesnt add the '1' bug. BUT! When replying, it does. See clouds post in questions.

Just do what MasterMind said and go to the Database and download the PM 3.8 and add the files. That will fix your problem.

P.S Thanks, MasterMind!

Thanks to Borg, I have found the section of code that prints the signature in the messages. He suggested a fix, but it isn't quite there yet, as the code is a little different. I plan to work on it myself, but if you guys that are better at writing/ bugfixing code would like to give it a shot I would appreciate it.

It's in privatesend.cgi:

Borg's suggestion was:
a little different, but workable, most likely...

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

- http://www.stand318.com

Thanks to Borg again, the bug was squashed...

Files updated in the download... almost to 4.0. For those who are working on the 4.0 alpha, I have updated the download files there with all the bug fixes we have found so far for pm's...

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

- http://www.stand318.com

Code cleaned up a bit more... built &rattler sub in private.pl and removed the redundant coding in the rest of the files....

One major/minor bug is left... the "checkall/uncheckall" still doesn't work in Netscape...

Coding in alpha/beta 4 cleaned up as well... privateadmin.cgi now writes the private.setup file correctly and pm's reads the settings. The only minor thing is that is doen't "remember" your current selections... should be ready for "finished" forum soon...

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

- http://www.stand318.com

We have a problem with the new updated files Allen. When I tried to send myself a PM, it insteads redirects me back to the send PM page. Uh-oh...

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

oops... fixed now... let me know if you have any problems.... download files have been updated...

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

- http://www.stand318.com

Everything seems to be running fine now

I'll let you know when I find something.

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

Like a solution to the "checkall/uncheckall" for NS?



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

- http://www.stand318.com

The check/uncheck all here (UBBDev only) in IE gives me an error so I'd check on that first

BTW, there is something wrong with the privatedelete.cgi. I can't seem to delete my PM's

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

Is it still doing that? I was trying our some suggested changes earlier, but have put back up what has worked for IE at least...

Delete works fine for me too... I had been working on the files earlier, maybe that is what you are referring to.

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

- http://www.stand318.com

I see where the problem is

When I use the delete checked items button to kill my PM's, they don't get deleted. But if I delete using the button inside the PM itself, it works. This sounds like a bug.

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

That's odd, cuz it works both ways for me here... using IE anyways....

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

- http://www.stand318.com

I uploaded the ones in the zip download (nothing modified) and I got the same result. I can't delete using the button in privateview.cgi

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