I found this hack listed in the database but there is no link to it anyplace. Does anybody know where I can find it?

Thanks.

I've been looking for that hack myself

Try some other databases. The best V5 database is down at the moment...:(

are there any other V5 databases besides here and spawn's db

Not really only Daves but I don't think it has that hack.

The database has been updated. The download for this hack now works. See the link above.

Thank you to whoever made this available.

SpAwN's database is also back up at http://spawn.piratecove.org

I installed this hack.

I put in my admin name and password, and all it returns is a blank page, no errors.

Anyone else have this problem?

CHmodded the file correctly?

You you need the hack lemme know...

Yes. Set to Read/Write/Exe in NT.

>>Read/Write/Exe in NT.

That would be 777. Some servers won't allow that. Use 755 instead. (read/--/exe for world/other permission).

If it means anything, I installed this and it works like a charm.

Tried it both ways read/write and read/write/exe.

No go.

Are any other hacks required in order for this to run?

I don't think so, But a white page is a permission problem.

Still no go.

I've tried changing the permissions multiple times.

Is there anything within the script that i may have missed that needs changing?

Double posted. Sorry.

There might be, but I have seen this hack work on many forums before....

I'm running 5.39 if that makes a difference.

That might be the problem, It might only work on 5.4x versions.

Thats the problem...

What code changes do I need to make to it?

may not be necessarily a permission problem. if there is an IIS option, check that in the script. Also check perl path etc etc...

I checked the path to PERL and uncommented the print IIS statement.

Still comes up blank. Could it need a 1; at the end?

Hmmmm I dunno dude, you may wanna try it...
What about upgrading ?

Upgrading isn't an option for me. I have special code for additional fields and a truncation routine for text that won't migrate.

I've tried before, but the UBB code has changed so much over time.

Hmm...Try what you think might work to work, Just backup so it won't matter that ya make a mistake.

Hi,
when editing a Userprofile within the editprofile.cgi function in CP the ubb code for Images in Signatured are correct translated in html !
After editing a User this User will post [IMG]tags in his Signature and not the image self !

Is there a bugfix for or can somebody tell my what to change in editprofile.cgi ?

After a few hours "reading" code and try to understand I fixed the "bug" myself.

The script calls the UBBCode sub from ubb_library.pl and for the IMG Tag there is this code (perhaps from another Mod)

so I had to set $UBBImages to "ON" and $OverrideImages to "NO" with this code

before the statement
if ( $I == 12 ) { $EditHash{$I} = &UBBCode("$EditHash{$I}"); }

in editprofile.cgi and it works fine now
