This hack adds icons to each forum in the Ultimate.cgi, you can upload the icons in your Noncgi folder and type their names in the forum icon box in forum settings (CP)

Here is the hack txt file

The hack is taken from Scooby's hack for freeware version and added some code to let work with a full version UBB.

Hmmm, You put the image names in all forums?
And did you use the hack above?

Oh i just find this out with testing btw:
Try not hit "Submit Forum Changes Now" button in the main Forum Settings (by the index of all forums) but submit it only in each forum.

I'd install this, but it would add an average of 30k worth of images to my front page and I don't need worse load times for the 56k'ers.

For sites with less forums it would be best.

I am currently trying to install this hack onto my board and i am experiencing difficultires.
I have it to the point where I have X's showing up.
The script also seems to be messing with my layout as some parts of my board the table have changed colors.
I have seen some of you install this hack with no problem. If you could assist me in any way i would be very appreciative.
thank you

Just installed it and it doesn't work: it seems that there may be difficulties because i did install the 'news'layout-mod; so the variable for the picture seems to be 'n' or 'f' (the values for 'normal forum view' or 'news forum layout') ... is anyone able to help me, please?
Tried to use variable16 instead of variable15, didn't work. I also have at the end of the arrayrow-line an: $ThisType-Tag, added $ThisForumIcon, but it did have no effect.
thanks, in advance,
chris

I tried to install it as well and it didn't work ;-( using 5.47

I did de-install the news-hack; the main problem now is that the icon.gif-settings in the controlPanel aren't stored! So no image is found on ultimate.cgi ... any ideas?
chris

seems like we are all having the same problem. If someone could answer our question we would be really appreciative.

Thank You

Is there any way to integrate category-images manually? Can't understand why it works in Spawns Board ..
chris

Which version UBB do you guys have?
Only thing what i did is inserting the codes above in the hack file and nothing else.

2spawn, i use version 5.45;

as i mentioned above i installed some months ago the 'newsdisplay.cgi'-mod, which made no problems by writing the variable no15 ('n' / 'f') into the forum-settings-files; so i did de-install this hack completely to avoid troubleshooting with the variable no15; i followed your instruction:

the table appears on ultimate.cgi, there's a new field in the forum-settings to enter the grafix but this variable is not saved into the file-settings, so broken image links appear on ultimate.cgi; maybe there's just a little bug in your hack.txt..? some double-pipes, missing a ';' or anything like this?
i tried to install this hack 3 times to avoid forgotten tags/mods but it doesn't work, i regret

chris

p.s. bye the way, which css-tag did you use for this very nice coloured scrollbar on your site?

Hmmm, i checked the hack again to make sure everything is ok, and i even compair the values with my own ubb and everything look ok to me in the file, but its realy weird

There is some litle bug in this code if you put the names in the Forum Details submit it only there and not on the main Forum Style page, to check it saves your changes.

css-tag i used for the coloured scrollbar is this

2spawn, thanks for the css-tag,

"There is some litle bug in this code if you put the names in the Forum Details submit it only there and not on the main Forum Style page, to check it saves your changes."

Yes, I did just submit there the changes as written in the .txt-File; doesn't work :-(

Would it be possible that you just copy and paste all the necessary changes as written in your instruction-file with some lines of the code BEFORE and AFTER the lines which should be modified? Maybe i placed some changes on the wrong place..?

chris

Chris,

I also controled again to see everything is okey for placements and everything is sameway done in the text file as my Ultimate.cgi and cpanel3.cgi

I dont understand and i bleave you about putting the codes on the right place, and we have same version UBB this should work but it doesnt and i dont understand why...

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

I got also UBB hacks database

2spawn, my i send you both files so you could have a look at it? so if you'll see any mistake i made it may be interesting for other users to avoid 'em ... if yes, please tell me the email-adress you want me to send the eMail to.
best regards from munich,
chris

I have tried fixing this hack for like 10hours straight...
i am pulling my hair out here...

please keep me updated thanks
steve

I have seen this hack work well on http://www.oneminuteleft.com

okay, shift figgured out the original freeware-hack, it's similar to spawns. we figured out, that maybe here's something mixed up...>

Weird cris i already send you IM before this post of yours, with a question to send me the files.


Yes please send me the files with the hack installed on it.
I'll compare it with my files...
I am at work right now, if i get home i'll take a look on it

Ok to clear this out.
This mod is NOT 1:1 coppy from the mod for freeware version!

I took a look on shift's board and he put every code on right place and it still dont work. And i dont do anything special on my board everything is same for the code.

But how ever if shift use my cpane3.cgi it also works for him and we couldnt see why.
Thus for those who have problem with this hack let me see your cpanel3.cgi maybe we will see the problem i like to look on a 5.45c cpanel3.cgi without this hack and i can compare it with my own cpanel3.cgi

spawn was a great help to me on this...
he spent 2 hours with me trying to make the hack work...
well if you want to see for yourself you can goto
http://forum.shiftracing.com/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi

thanks again spawn

No thank you to say that i support someone, but shift use still my cpanel3.cgi to let work this.

I am going to compare a clean cpanel3.cgi with my cpanel3.cgi and i let you know what the result is

works great now... i was wondering, because the midding line was used by the newsread.cgi-mod, too - but i was afraid messing by board up by trying to include the missing line *G* .. thanks so far und you may have a look @ the board >

best regards and enjoy this wonderful piece of hack..!

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

Troubleshooting again:
today we switched our categories ON and on ultimate.cgi the forum was missing; the header and footer-files worked so far as well as the 'active.cgi'-table as well as the privateMessage

Guys, do NOT install this hack - troubleshooting all the time, again and again and 'the author' does not provide support/help to fix/avoid troubleshooting/bugs... i'm getting mad about this hack once a week even it makes my board looking quite nice ...
chris http://technoforum.de

you mean the hack works fine, but messes up once a week? that's odd

it works on other boards...are you sure its not something you're doing wrong? I'm not trying to insult you, I just really wanted to install this mod

it didn't work on my boards so i just reverted back too my old version.
