UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6.4 - 6.7 Modifications V6 Mod Ideas Hacking the 6.6.x Control Panel

I'm headed to work, will look at it again tonight if someone else has time today

Yeah, it did everything by itself once the choice was made. All you had to do was click on save when the window popped up and give it the path on your hard drive, then click on the delete backup button.

Allen. any word on the fix?

That's the error I get while porting the newsfader hack, so it'd be nice to know

No, no definitive answer other than 'nut loose behind the keyboard'



I've been swamped at my day/night job the last few days, I've got a couple small projects to work on tonight then I'll get back on this

Hey Charles, would the 'autosequence' command be useful for auto-refreshing from one sub to another? Apparently calling &Submit in earlier versions could do that.

AutoSequence just generates unique IDs for radio buttons and the like...

The only real refreshing action is done via the refreshing routines themselves... though you might be able to add on to StandardHTML and put a meta tag up there.

&Transition may be available in the control panel in 6.7....

If you want to go from a submit on one page to another page/tab, you can just reset $in{page} and $in{tab}, then call the proper subs...

hmmm... ok. thank you, I'll work on that

hey Allen, call me dense, but where did you declare sub cp2_page_backup?

if I'm not dense, maybe that's why it won't work

*hopes for backup hack*

Have I told you guys just how much you roxxor lately?

*happy dance*

I figured out the cp! I've got an expandyheader and everything

hopes once again for the backup hack.

I'll take a look into it next Thursday. Swamped with work right now

Charles, is it possible to have the run, lib, inits for 3 different pages in one template?

No.

Well, not really.

It's possible but you shouldn't. If they're different pages, then they should have different templates.

You can still call LoadCPTemplate from inside the init if you need to call on some common routines, of course.

You might want to look at the standalonenotab tab type as an alternative, if possible.

great, I'll give that a shot. I've just got to get that and the meta refresh to work. I've got no clue where to start on that one though

There are two options for refreshing actions... the first is sub refreshing. It's big and ugly and complex, but it allows for actions to be constructed that can be run later on without needing to be refreshed... i.e. for cron jobs. Not that anyone's done that yet.

The second is to use the redirect_url and redirect_title arguments to StandardHTML...

After three whole nights of reading your first post, Charles, I'm beginning to grasp the basics of this new-fangled CP thing.

Thanks for making our lives hell!

One question though:

Why doesn't that work? It keeps returning array references with ARRAY() in place of the tab content...

Take what it's providing and pass it through Data::Dumper... i.e.

use Data::Dumper;
print "

" . Dumper(&WrapContent(...)) . "

";

That'll give you a better idea of what the code thinks it needs to do.

BTW... pass through undef expressly rather than "".

EDIT: Figured it out. Didn't use that lovely thing known as MakeComponentHTML.
