UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V5 Mod Questions CYMPM 1.5 Beta

you are gonna feel dumb. open a message and read it. if the person is an *******, hit the ignore button. list. the button on the inbox page is to view the ignore list. now he is on your ignore if you go there now and hit it you'll see that person. there is a link to remove them from the ignor list if you choose.

Did anyone else not get the file memberlist.cgi ?

if you have it could u please send it to me?

It's not part of the CYMPM hack. It's a seperate hack that the CYMPM can use as an address book. To disable it, there's an option in private.cfg

Just a thought

Hey, I found a nicely sized problem....when you try to send a message, if you, or the user name your sending it to (i'm assuming its both) have any invalid charectars in their name (such as /) it will give you an error when you try to send! How can this be fixed? THanks! -ice

*insert woosh sounds here*

Internal Server Error 500. Please have this in Action. Thanks you all and have a good day!

I'm having this problem.. I installed the CYMPM hack and this is what I get when i try to send a private message.

flock() unimplemented on this platform at C:Inetpububb/private.pl line 455.

Is there a way to resolve this? I'm running PWS 4.0 on Win98 with ActivePerl 5 installed.

I'm so sorry to have ask what is probably a stupid question . . . well, feels stupid to me, having been able to otherwise successfully add hacks for over a year, LOL . . . but I can't seem to lay my eyeballs on the answer to this within the documentation.

Does one actually go into Forums in CP and ADD the new "forum" or is it supposed to just magically show up after updating threads?

I had the same problem, I just fixed the chmod on the folder. I feel so dumb.

Mandi - It should just appear in Ultimate.cgi. A whoile part of the hack is editing Ultimate.cgi

Just a thought

OMG, I just knew it was gonna be something mind numbingly embarrassing . . . I did a perfect hack, and then uploaded everything EXCEPT Ultimate.cgi . . . . sheesh . . . . I guess, be thankful for gentle reminders and FTP time stamp, LOL . . .

Thanks, all !

Will CYMPM work with UBB on Windows NT running IIS4 - began to install, but then seen details about configuring .htaccess.

It'll work fine. Instead of using .htaccess, just set up windows NT password protection on the folder

Just a thought

I had some problems on IIS 5.0 (win2k) with PM hack..

Any in particlular Ilya?

Just a thought

The PMs work great - BUT i dont have the PM link in the forums on ppls individual posts. My users have to into their inboxes to send PM's - did i miss something?

Please help me fix it.
Thanks.

"I'm getting '500 internal server error' when I click on 'Send a Private Message' or the Inbox on the home page. I didn't change anything in the privatesend.cgi except the perl path. When I telnet to the server and run the privatesend.cgi script, I get:
Undefined subroutine &main: arse_form called at privatesend.cgi line 57.

Line 57 in privatesend.cgi reads:
local (%in) = &parse_form;

Does anyone have any suggestions? Here are some things to note about my setup:

- I updatedall the PM scripts with correct path to perl5

- I have created the private directory and added .htaccess and even tested it out from the browser. The directory is chmod 777

- I am using UBB 5.44b with a number of hacks installed.

- I got my cympm15b.zip file from the link above and also went directly to your site.

- The $CGIURL directory I have tried at chmod 777 and 755.

- I have uploaded all scripts in ASCII and chmod 755.

- I have run 'Update Threads' from the UBB Control Panel

Help someone please!!! To see what happens go to: http://www.thefew.com/cgi-bin/ubb/Ultimate.cgi?action=intro

Thanks,

I'm having a problem, and maybe someone can help me...

I have CYMPM 1.5b installed on my development machine, it works great, no problems at all.

I move the scripts and config over to the live machine, click on the inbox to login, enter my password/user name, and it just goes back to the CYMPM login screen. Does not give any sort of message, does absolutely nothing. It appears it just loops the login screen, no matter what you put in the User Name and Password fields, it just goes back.

You can see what I'm talking about at:
http://cohort.to/cgi-bin/privateview.cgi

Go ahead and try to login with a bogus name, you'll get the exact same response as you'd get if you had a valid user name.

Hey nice buttons!

Shady2000 - Did you remove the require cookie-lib.pl line form all the scripts?

great hack man I have had it running for awhile now. One oen thing it doest add signatures properly it adds the
and stuff

Great hack... I am getting an error tho, when I click on: "Inbox". The error is on privateview.cgi:
Any idea what might be wrong? I think I followed the instructions exactly. The changes were pretty straightforward. It does recognize me on the front page (Ultimate.cgi), stating my name and that I have no private messages. I am on NT and using version 5.45b

Any assistance greatly appreciated,

The cookies.pl issuses should be part of this site's FAQ. Why don't we have a newbie-hacking-faq-type-thing?

I am affriad to post this. But I see the Inbox ok. But when I click on it I get this error.

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::get_cookie called at D:Client_Siteswww.sportbikes.netubbcgi-binprivateview.cgi line 35.

okay - just go into privateview.cgi and delete the following line:

sure enough. I run into another problem. When I am getting ready to send a PM it comes up with this error. Any ideas?

Ahhh i figured it out. I removed all the cookie.pl's in the cgi script and it works fine. Hope I didnt do anything wrong.

Now why do I get on the main page this message? Like I am logged in twice?

White Knight
White Knight - You have no private messages.

It's a bug in UBB's cookie-code. No general fix has yet been found.

I tried everything and get this freaking error... Any Ideas?

Cal,

that is what I thought. There was a fix for the Welcome Username that someone fixed. And was wondering if the same principle can be used? But where would it go? Thats my question.

I'm not sure if the fix would go in the cookie code or the pm code in Ultimate.cgi

hmmm

Just a thought

Well , mine also it show this when i try to post a new PM


Can anyone help??? Please i've change the password and username here to **PERSONAL** cause this only for showing purposes only!!
please help...think i have two big black patch on my eye, did not sleep a wink cause still waiting for answer!!!

I am getting errors as well when I remove the "require cookie_lib.cgi" routine from all the private files, if I put the require back in it works but not 100%. I am using UBB 5.45a and it was an upgrade from 5.38. Can anyone help?

White Night, Did you need to remove the cookies from any other file other then privatesend and privateview ?
I just did those 2 and everything seems to me working fine!

And Cal thanks!!!!

Anytime!

right when I was all happy and proud of myself, I try to send myself a PM and it didn't work I get the same error Morgo had. But I have a private folder made in the cgi-bin. (I only have 1 cgi-bin, looks like Morgo had 2 cgi folders and he didn't put it in his ubb cgi one)
I belive his post is on page 3 of this topic.
And can some explain what is chmod ?
Cal ??? Anyone

CHMOD refers to file permissions.
