Until Borg sets the ubb codebuttons as an option, you will need to have ubb code buttons installed and v3.5 of the ubbcodebutton.pl file uploaded... which works quite well... and adds a few new features. Other than that, just upload the v3 pm files to your ubb cgi directory making sure perl paths are correct (some have changed in the files to make them all the same, just recheck them). And upload in ascii... No additional coding changes to your ubb files are needed if you are upgrading pm's, unless you decide to install the "I'm Online" addition. Cookies in this latest version appear to be fixed, judging by reponses from those who use Netscape... this is good news. ------------------ Allen - http://www.stand318.com

"Other than that, just upload the v3 pm files to your ubb cgi directory making sure perl paths are correct..."
I did exactly that and when I click on Send Pm I get a white screen...

"making sure perl paths are correct (some have changed in the files to make them all the same, just recheck them). " Nope. I just downloded a fresh copy, and the paths to perl are NOT all the same in all the files. Some have usr/bin/perl some usr/local... I prefer the usr/bin/... ![[Linked Image]](https://ubbdev.com/ubb/smilies/wink.gif) Where do I find this hack, and the 3.5 file? This message has been edited by Outlaw on October 26, 2000 at 12:46 PM

Aieee! Allen, please send me any updates you've incorerated into the files! As of now, I'm working with the version I sent you, and fixing the 4 bugs you listed above... Let me repeat this for all to hear.... YOU NEED UBBCODEBUTTONS 3 OR GREATED INSTALLED. I _tried_ to set it as optional (but it obviously didn't work)... white screens when trying to send are known to be a symptom of this. Allen; looks like I didn't document everything properley... there's a $UBBSlaugher missing from the routines that build the forums (My forums are v 4.5... dunno if .6 has it different)... is it in sub PageBottomHTML in ubb_library.pl (should be near the end) That line introduces the line into the forum code... but only introduces it if you have NEW IMs. Outlaw: we have this thing called a "database of mods" and another thing called "finished mods forum" and even a "search engine"... with all due respect, if you can't even be bothered to go looking for the mod (it's only 2 click away from here) we can't be bothered to spoon feed it to you. ![[Linked Image]](https://ubbdev.com/ubb/smilies/frown.gif)

ps. "cookies fix" ?? Unless you have cookies, your newly recieved IMs won't pop up... The CYMPM files also set your cookies (courtesy of cal) because you need them to view the PMs... right? ![[Linked Image]](https://ubbdev.com/ubb/smilies/confused.gif)

1. - pop-up isn't quite tall enough for info inside, need to adjust one or the other. Fixed in latest version2. - image in pop-up is looking for images in ubb cgi directory... I placed them in there as well just for testing purposes... Fixed.3. - pop-up should take on ubb's colors a little better It should do- the
4. - need to rename online.gif to something else, it replaced the online.gif for the "who's online" section in Ultimate.cgi
Fixed. They're now "IMonline.gif" and "IMoffline.gif" (original, eh? )
5. - nothing else that I can see... nice work Borg
Thankyou. ![[Linked Image]](https://ubbdev.com/ubb/smilies/smile.gif) Next up- admin functions for CYMPM, and the ability to tie in UBBIM with Karma & Thread Tracking mods...

Actually all I found there is pure junk. Let me explain. 1 I wanted the PM 3.x or the latest with bug fixex, nothing more. 2 Not only did I not find it and it doesnot exist, but instead I found a bunch of mobo jumbo included like the I'm online must be installe **** !!!!!! I did not want that! 4 Fine, I get that. Guess what, It also needs UBBCODEBUTTONS. I did NOT WANT that!!!!!!!! 5 Fine, i get that and the instructions for that says "## FIND: (Smilie CP Add-On)" !!!! What the f*ck??? I don't want all this **** !!! So, where is the simple latest version of the PM system with clear install instructions? is my question. Have you guys gone mad? Yes its nice to have bells and wistles, but to come up with this kind of **** and not even MENTION it, and even more, you post the thing in the DB as a FINISHED product...??? Guys, I love your work, but you are wasting alot of my times and making me work 10 times harder, when I have lots of Network Admin work to do... Please come to your senses? This is getting rediculous...

Allen, I'll check the email... don't go anywhere! The problem is that on loading a forum (eg: https://ubbdev.com/ubbcgi/forum...+in+Beta&number=3&DaysPrune=5&LastLogin= ) The window should pop up if you have a new IM... and it's not doing that for me. How about everyone else? Outlaw: Shows you were looking for UBBCODEBUTTONS. Which I showed you where to get. And also, the mod doesn't care if you don't want to install the codebuttons or not... when I say "It needs it". That means "it needs it" ie you HAVE to install it at present if you want the CYMPM to work!! It's in the database for download.... notice this is the "beta forum"... if you don't want the trouble of beta products, don't install it until it's finished.

Outlaw, this is obviously beta code... do not use it if you do not like how it's being written, it's that simple. You said you have v2.2 working.. stick with it if you do not like the direction this is going... come on now, this is given freely... we give of our time freely, several times more than you use to try to install this. If you do not like "bells and whistles", then you wouldn't be installing pm's... most people consider that "bells and whistles". 95% of all ubb owners who want private messages would give their left leg for ubb codebuttons as well... you don't have to install either. Please act a little more maturely and consider Borg's time as valuable as well... he cannot spend a week coding something for one particular person's tastes. ------------------ Allen - http://www.stand318.com

Ok, beta testing on this seems to be going in the right area. All seems to work on my end. Any bugs from you allen?
Outlaw, i believe all you have to do is upload the ubb_code_buttons.pl file and it will only install ubbcodebuttons for PM's, not the main forums. Please be a bit nicer, we are working on this.

Good deal Outlaw... that wasn't so hard now, was it... The pop-ups work after you install the I'm online part.. we should be able to release today or tomorrow... Nutso, you and most everyone who installs it the first time... Be sure and follow all the instructions, even the ones at the top of private.cfg... it will not work if you don't... The notification pop-ups are working now... I haven't uploaded your new ubonline.cgi file yet Borg, I am afraid to, since it works now... I'll make a backup and try it out... ------------------ Allen - http://www.stand318.com

No it was not that hard, but the different instruction in the hacks were a pain in the butt.
BTW Will the sound work? the "you got mail" or is that separate?

hmmm.. that wasn't fun... the whole site gave me cgi errors with that last update... every cgi page... it was the fix you sent via ICQ Borg for that replacement sub in ubb_library.pl ...painful... The new ubonline.cgi you sent last gave a few errors as well... I reuploaded the other one.. it seems to be working well. I'll do a file compare and update the differences regarding the spaces in the name. Then send you all I have. Outlaw, the sound alertis separate, and pretty easy.

Please resolve UBBRandomX and Y to random numbers in $header as UBB does in all other routines - needed for banner HTML etc. Lift the code from any UBB module.
Please do not make this hack require others (eg codebuttons) make other hacks OPTIONAL.
Please be careful to make each release upward compatible and think about those who do not have all the other hacks (and may not want them either). Always be careful of anything which impacts performance of busy boards.
Always document each release carefully - ie what has changed and why. You can never have too many comments (and get someone not familar with the code to review the instructions).
Keep your cookies away from the UBB ones as I have had MAJOR problems with corrupt ones.
Even with v2.2 my UBB cookies are screwed up yet again. It has to be the PM code doing this.

So what do you want us to do? Use CGI.pm for cookies just for the pm hack? No, i dont think so. We must use the ubb cookies.

"We must use the ubb cookies." I agree. Now, when I post a new post on our board, the auto fill for user name and pass no longer works. It works for replies and edit etc. but not for New Posts. Why? Can someone help me fix this. I installed Sticky Threads and PM at the same time [bad mistake] and now I am not sure which is causing this...

Here are some feature ideas from outlaw and me.
1 Admin prune delted/old PMs in out box
2 Admin can delete None active Usrs/banned Users's PMs and info
3 Buddy list
4 Saved Messeges Folder
5 Will tell a user on the Ignore list that he cannot PM user x because he is PM Blocked
6 Will NOT save PM sent to a user if blocked.
Currently, If I send a PM to a user who has put me on the ignore list, my PM will get put into his folder anyway, eventhough he cannot see it.
7 Will notify users of new PMs via sound/graphic, even in Forumdisplay [and anywhere on the forum if they are online]
8 A feature which lists the last user to who sent u a PM like this: "Outlaw - You have 1 private message(s) (0 new) - Latest Message from boobless" [with the user name linked to their profile]
9.Ability to create a limited number of new folders and move PM's to them.
10. Spellchecker.

Re COOKIES
1 - Why are you updating (possibly corrupting!) the UBB cookies at all? I assume for preferences - any other reason?
2 - Are you honouring the control panel setting for cookie SCOPE? It seems that your code sets the cookie scope at root (/) instead of the same value as the UBB control panel setting for cookie scope - surely this is wrong?
Please listen to the requests not to have several other hacks installed just to get PM v3 - it would be much more widely accepted if these were optional - it can't be that hard to look at a configuration setting and react accordingly.
People need the bug fixes & admin features without having to install 3 other hacks. I think you have got a little carried away with the code here. Yes, I know it's free and we don't have to use it - but why not make it widely compatible?
I have pm 2.2 - my main problem is the space control and admin. I want auto-delete etc but I don't want to mix it with the other new hacks. Now you have given me a tough choice - install several unwanted hacks or have old pm messages hanging about...!
Thanks for a great hack. Shame it has become so complex to install it now.

It's true that there are problems with needing other hacks - I assume it'll be worked out in 4.0 or 3.5..
