UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6.4 - 6.7 Modifications V6 Mod Ideas LK's IM hack

Can you port this one pleeeeeze? It seems to work most of the time but it's pulling up the wrong templates ( I have alternate templates and it's pulling up the default set).

Suddenly this quit working on my test board and the real Netwerkin. I'm stumped. I've reinstalled 10 times but can't get it going. I think that another hack must be blocking it but I have no idea what.

Any ideas LK?

Edit, here is a bit more info. I get this error when I try to access ubb_checkmsg.cgi directly;

[code][/code]I guess it has something to do with the new cookies. I can't figure out why it worked before unless I still had my old cookie.

Are you sure you uploaded the Modules directory?

Yep, this is the only function that doesn't work and I think it has to do with the code in the IM file that LK wrote and the new cookies with 6.4. By modifying the code that checks for the cookie I can get rid of the error but I still don't get the IM.

Here's the fix;

Open ubb_checkmsg.cgi and look for;

use strict;

Below that add;

BEGIN { # pull in the best copy of Digest::MD5 that we can find
do "Digest/MD5.pm";
if (!$Digest::MD5::VERSION) {
require Digest::Perl::MD5;
import Digest::Perl::MD5 'md5_hex';
} else {
import Digest::MD5 'md5_hex';
} # end if
} # end BEGIN

This fixed it at Netwerkin anyhow.

Do you have the port ready to go? I'd REALLY like this hack for 6.4

That's up to LK, I won't post his code without his permission.

I'm releasing this in a few mins

So what's the word?

I guess that's a no.

Duh :rolleyes:

Thanks LK

Not quite the hack I was looking for. I was looking for a PM inbox type hack. But, this IM hack kicks ass!

Any way to incorporate a popup window PM notification based on this hack?
