The Privatesend.cgi seems to be in binary mode- is there a link where I can get the file in ASCII? Or is it just me?

OK, download updated with an ascii privatesend.cgi... sorry.

If you already have this installed, just upload the .cgi, .pl, and .cfg files to update... https://www.ubbdev.com/db/cgi/ubbcount.cgi?expath1=Forum8&expath2=&topic=000016&type=&number=8

I added the updates manually- so the point is moot- but anyone installing this the first time may not have such a luxury...
I am assuming you did it correctly- so I don't know why I am viewing it in binary... [Linked Image] Ho hum...

I am not sure what/ how you guys are getting that, I have downloaded it several times and still do not get it in binary.

Anyways, I did go through and rename the versions on each file to 2.2 and fixed one bug that has been haunting this since the beginning. Most of the files have perl paths of
#!/usr/bin/perl
but 3 of the files - private.cfg, privatesend.cgi, and one other I don't remember, had perl paths of
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
no big deal if you are on NT, but definitely a problem if you run your site on something else. cal mentioned this before, but I didn't realize a few were still like that. I set all cgi, pl, cfg files to #!/usr/bin/perl, which should cut down greatly on the 500 ISE error questions we keep getting about this.

Update- done everything for V3.0, but I think I'm gonna have to re-write the delete routines [Linked Image] due to the "check all boxes" change. Also, I still can't get it to actually send emails, but everything else works great. Additional features:

(not many)
- Simple cypher-encryption when embedding the users password in the HTML code- plain text passwords are *always* a bad idea! Must update my UBB for that some day...

Anything else you'd like to see added as a feature? I could do with some help fixing these bugs too (where fore art thou, cal? [Linked Image])


Soooooon....

UBB Code Buttons for PM's.
Show signature prechecked for PM's.
There seems to be a bug, when my users have their sig in the sent PM, the person he/she sent it to has a line of the sig in the date sent or whatever.

Sounds great borg... an auto expire, or limit (either in message # or or database size) is really needed... tho I think you had said you were already working on that...

ubbcodebuttons would be nice, but not extremely necessary, specially for something with such limited uses... I think a pre-checked sig box would be easy... something like the sig hack 1.5 should do it...

Hey, I found a bug with the PM's, everything works beautifully, until I pm one of our members. His username "DB Fan no. 2171986323 1/2" seems to be f00king up the PM's because I get a page that returns all this server information, and junk.

I can recreate the error window if necessary, it does it anytime I PM him, but no one else.. [Linked Image]

Hopefully a known bug that is getting attention. It is the / character that is messing it up. PM is still putting APO for the ' character too. Many thanks for all the work, it is appreciated!!!

I had dozens of users with corrupt cookies!

The + sign problem....really severe!

(Why are you updating the cookie anyway?)

To convert a "binary" file to ASCII - simply upload it to your FTP server as BINARY and download it again as ASCII - (edit as required) then upload once more as ASCII.

----

Looking forward to V3. Great feature...

Mastermind- dounds like the classic signs of a pipe in the sig... I'm not sure if the script checks for that... I'll add it in.

Prechecked sig? NOT a problem. Codebuttons are 2-clicks away too....
Allen, I'm MAJORLY overhauling the Auto-delete thing, so that admins can choose by date or to limit the number of posts... the choice is soo much better.

C_P: Also easily done.

OK, my second child shall be named borg!

Do you mind if the 5x8 is his/ her middle name?

Pilot, have you used the latest version? It should be correcting that + sign... let me know if it doesn't.

Yes, I have 2.2 in now - works fine.

I have one (new) request - a feature to allow admin ids to look at other user's mailboxes.

I know it sounds intrusive but sometimes people complain about abuse etc and it would be nice to see what's being said. OK I can browse the files but that is a bit crude.

Invasive? Tell that to the Admins who have "display PW in CP" modifications installed...

Okay, will think on how to add.

MasterMind: I'm seriously blushing now! How do you know me from Planetco? You are friends with M_E_W right?

MasterMind, C_P and Allen; at the end of today, college breaks up for a week-long vacation, so I'll be back and working furiously on this tonight.. do any of you three want a copy of what I've done so far to see if someone can please save me from totally re-doing privatedelete.cgi? :bambi-eyes:

It runs the risk of totally wiping all your old PMs tho... hang on, I'll be back and working in about an hour, hopefully get something working out tonight (it's 10:30pm here in the UK).

MasterMind- that's ironic, coz I love what you guys have done with this place! PLEASE! If you know anyone who can think up a decent colour scheme to replace the one we have at PlanetCo (*shudder*) send 'em over immediately!

Okay have to say that the 2.2 version was at least better on the html than previous versions I used.

But am still getting a mess on PM error pages. Beginning html tags and the headers aren't printed at all.. And might recommend using the zero spacing attributes for the body tag since these are standard on the UBB. has any of that been fixed? Or is this "just me" situation? [Linked Image]

And suggestion for Allen, how about updating the index here... forum summary reads 2.0 but topic reads 2.3... Might confuse some no?

No, Alien X, I meant something different... the ability to send a PM to someone by adding "mailto:[email protected]" into the To: box (which can accept multiple recipients now, BTW)

Woohoo! V3.0 beta is out! Please forward any bugs/problems to me, but don't expect any actual support until the final release (when I add a few more features)

Instructions for Beta-Testers:
Get this file , drag-n-drop the other files over your old scripts (update private.cfg as you need) and drop the 2 images in your noncgi/pmimages directory (or wherever the other PM images are)

Features since the last version:
- Auto-Support for UBB Code Buttons (v3)
- "Check all" and "uncheck all" delete options
- Outbox disabled by default for new users
- Ability to send to more than one recipient
- Ability to send to email addresses
- Administrators can set the number of messages before a warning message is displayed, and the number of messages before auto-delete kicks in
- Admins can choose to enable Sig pre-checking or not.
- Forum hopto box (not sure if it displays 100% correctly) (suggested by C_P)

Bugs fixed:
- Illegal pipe checking on signiature (fixed I think) - Problem discovered by MasterMind

Known Bugs:
- I don't know what the whole problem with the /s and +s was that everyone's been talkign about, but if a solution's been reached, please tell me!
- Others unknown. It's beta!

Planned features:
- Basic encryption of (I didn't get around to it)
- Add a check so it disallows sending of email via PMs if your admin doesn't want it (yeah, I'm too lazy to change it right now) [Linked Image]
- "You've got mail!" sound option
- Convergence with my "I'm online!" hack for UBB instant-messaging
- Option to autodelete old PMs (rather than by number of PMs)
- Admin PM box browsing features
- Preview message ?
- Anything else you suggest!


PHEW! Now, I've got all this week to work on the Vinkulum and any other big projects anyone suggests... [Linked Image]

somewhere around line 134 in privatedelete.cgi it has "$in(autodelete)" I think it should have "$in{autodelete}"

I changed this and it worked for me.

I just installed 5.47 and version 2.0 of cympm whatever it's called mod. Upon refreshing to see the results, I noticed that "favorites" was poof from the Ultimate.cgi file. So, I cried for a while and tried it again. Same results ten or twenty times of starting over.

Then, I tried to install the beta 3.0 version from Borg. Amazingly enough, the favorites returned and I thought everything was grand. I could check messages and change preferences, but damn... when I tried to send one I get an internal server error. first it was the "@" in the instructions that made it choke. After fixing that, the error I'm getting is as follows:

Undefined subroutine &main::UBBCodeButtonsHead called at /usr/www/domains/haplesswonder.com/cgi-bin/ubb/privatesend.cgi line 444.

Here's what line 444 contains:
$UBBCodeButtonsHead = &UBBCodeButtonsHead("new");

Does anyone have any ideas?

Well, I just noticed a few things. First off, my Privatesend.cgi is coming up with the dreaded 500! And also, if you run the UBB on your own personal server, and you don't have a mail server, you can't use that. Do you think we can make it where you don't have to have a mail server? Thanks!

the two fixes are this:

in privatesend.cgi find:

@address

change it to this:
@address

The delete one is around...

[Linked Image] I deleted my previous 2 posts due to the errors being ones that I introduced when I accidently deleted a " while editing the pm email message.

So, yeah, the auto-delete function works really well... I had >300 pm's in my outbox/inbox from all the pm's I get here and they all just went "poof"...[Linked Image] The "select all" button works really well too.

I haven't found any bugs yet, other than the 2 mentioned already, and they fix the problems. Good work.

I downloaded the new files and the format is all screwed up.

Editing these would be a pain.

What gives?
