The colspan tag was outta whack. It should have been:
And it worked properly in Netscape. You may wanna redocument your template hack for the benefit of netscape users.
If you already spotted this and updated your documentation, then disregard this post. And good work on the hack
Okay, here's an addendum: I may be wrong, but to fix the table problem for Netscape in the header, change instances of this line:
to this:
These instances are in the following files:
public_common.pl public_edit_post.pl public_forum_page.pl public_forum_summary.pl public_login.pl public_move_topic.pl public_new_reply_form.pl public_new_topic_form.pl public_pm_form.pl public_topic_page.pl public_ubb_friend.pl
My board has now become Netscape compatible after this small modification, so make sure to update the documentation Skorpion, unless someone has any further problems with it...
Excellent mod Skorpion! I am having just 2 minor problems with it. Why does the topic title text come up in blue for all forums? The Ubb Email a friend comes up twice: My board: http://www.zbud.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi Thanks in advance! [ April 28, 2001 02:21 PM: Message edited by: Zbud ]
Canis, I tried that awhile back, and it didn't seem to work. So I wasn't going to do anything with it. I will add it into the next release tho, just in case it does work and it just wasn't showing up when I tested it or something. I'm not actively developing this hack anymore, so the next release will probably be just that little bug fix and adding in the active topics links. I have Prom tonight, but maybe tomorrow if I get time I'll update it. ZBud, I will look at that more in-depth as soon as i get time, and see if I can figure out what the problem is. I'll either tell you how to fix it, or it will be in the next release. Thanks for the reports, guys... sorry I'm draggin my feet on this. ---Skorpion
Version 1.4 Final has been released. As always, see the original topic for details. ---Skorpion
does this "header" hack modify the footer as well? I think the footer looks very cool, and would like to modify mine too. Hopefully this hack includes both
Um... this one only modifies the headers. Which is why it's called Compact Headers. I have also released one called Compact Footers, which does what you're wanting. Look a little ways down the topic list in this forum for it. ---Skorpion
Installed the hack (took all day) and it works ok. The only problem is that it doesn't work with Jigga Master's Active Topics hack. I think, perhaps, your code was based on the original active topics that comes with UBB, and now, when I click active topics it says, "You are attempting to reach a page that does not exist."
Um, yeah, it was written from a stock UBB. Most mods are written from stock UBBs. If I would have done it with JM's hack, then a whole 'nother faction of people wouldn't have been able to use it because they wouldn't have had that hack installed.
If you want to use it with JM's hack, just figure out where his link takes you to and substitute it into that link in the hack.
---Skorpion
Thanks, I'm doing that now. Also doing it for "Who's Online".
I've updated my 1.3 to 1.4 and still have the same problem as described by Zbud. But I also have got the prev/next buttons double . Do you already have got a fix for it?
Whoops, forgot about those bugs. They don't show up on my board, afaik. I'll look into it and see if I can get it fixed asap.
---Skorpion
Great thanks
Hey Skorp. I'm still using 1.3. I just like that a little better. But I have made it work for who's on line mod. If any one is interested let me know. Example: http://www.teamd86.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=whos_online
Would it be possible to use SSI in the headers? I am just wondering if CGI can interpret this correctly. It would be nice to update one file and have it do ALL your headers.....
Bill, I would like to see it, please post it ..... Thanks!@
Ok. ubb_whos_online.cgi Replace this: With This:
Thanks bill!
Any progress on the bug fixes, Skorpion?
how can i put this in who online?
Indoe: read the last post on page two of this thread.
Slasher: I can't figure out why yours is doing that. From a code standpoint, as far as I can tell there isn't anything in the mod that is making that show up twice. The original code is removed, and the new modded code is added back in. So there shoudl only be one copy of that in the template. I've gone through like a half dozen different installs of the hack in various configurations, and none of them yielded the duplicate line.
Open your public_topic_page.pl template, and look and see if $ubb_friend_on is in the file twice. If it is, remove the table that contains the first one.
I really don't know what the problem is.
---Skorpion
Thanks, i've fixed it. Guess I've missed an update instructions or something. Thanks for your time.
I am not sure but this was a small bug i found. in public_forum_page.pl find:
and change it to:
|
I noticed that in the forum page where it lists topics it was the wrong color. But just a minor fix. It might have been found and changed but i just put it up anyways.
All depends on your taste, and how you want to have your forum look.
i just wanted to say thank your for all your effort.. i really like the chances of your modifications.. thx man.. celtic
anyone know how to edit the whos online files so that it would look like a the headers full hack for the rest of the files
Hey Skorpion! I was wondering if it would be aight to modify some of the code on this modification so I can fit it into the design of my site and board.
Thanks
Oh sure, you can modify it all you want for your own board. Mr Bill did a bunch of stuff like that. You just can't republish/repost it and call it your own work.
---Skorpion
Aight...kewl .. i didnt know cause when i was reading how jigga use durs and modified it and u got mad.. but im not sure if i read it write
The thing about that was, they modified it and then posted it again w/o my permission, if I remember the incident correctly. That's just not cricket. ---Skorpion
whats the url to 1.3? soo i can upgrade! like it says in the upgrade instrucions... i cant upgrade unlessi have 1.3 to compare
Just so you know the code for Who's Online to work with CHF works with the latest version of Who's Online
1.3 was lost when I switched servers. All I had was the most recent version. Sorry.
And just for everyone's info, I plan to release another little bitty update sometime soon, with instructions for applying CHF into several of the popular mods. Currently plans are for Who's Online, Active Topics, and Memberlist. Any others that you would like to request, please feel free.

Great a new version is out..!! I was away a long time. Can I use it with my UBB 6.02?
How can I add this to Sticky Threads, Copy Post Hack Beta 2? I try and I just mess it all up can you help me?

Version 1.5 has been released. As always, look at the original topic.
Also, here's something a lot of you may be quite interested in!!! I included not only links to the instructions, but also a link to a zip file containg ALL MODIFIED TEMPLATE FILES!!! No need to hack them yourself anymore!!!
Unfortunately, I was unable to include support for the major mods in this release like I'd originally planned. I will release an update to this soon that will include instructions for changing the requested hacks.

oh, i cannot tell you how huge you made my heart smile. you wonderfully sweet considerate babe...thank you so much for that. i am wow.
damn baby i really hope you get some of this good stuff back.
so sweet
My board worked fine after Iuninstalled the Compact headers 1.2. No the new version 1.4 works OK but it still doesn't work on IE5 & Mac combination. It just gives the source code to user. Is this fixed in the version 1.5?
I don't know why it's doing that to you, Fusion. I've seen my hack on Mac IE5, and it works fine for me. Saw v1.4, at least... And there are only two code changes between 1.4 and 1.5, so I can't see how it would be any different.
Try installing a new test board and copying all the template files from the full distribution that I provided, and see if it works.
---Skorpion
Skorp did you get Sticky Threads as my request ..?
OK. Then it has to be one of the other hacks conflicting with the Compact Headers hack. It worked fine before.
Tech: Yes, I got it. It has been added to the list. Fusion: I can't remember, what exactly is the problem you're having? Are you getting a blank white page with, like, actual CGI code? Or is it a regular UBB page with HTML code shown on the page where the headers normally would be? What kind of server are you running? On my Win2K box, I would get the white code page if I didn't have ActivePerl mapped to the directory properly... if you're running NT/2k and IIS, you may want to ensure Perl is correctly mapped to the location or something... because that has been the only time I've been able to get a white code page. Though if it was running correctly before, I don't know why just adding my (or whatever other) hack would cause the problem. I don't know how many hacks you've installed on your UBB, but would it be at all possible for you to restart from the ground up completely? At least start a new test board or something - make sure it works, then copy my Compact Templates into the directory, ensure that it still works, then start adding hacks until one of them breaks it. ---Skorpion
how about copy post mod? btw: Can you make a MultiHack scrip I hate upgrading if you cant it cool thx for all your hard work [ June 08, 2001 09:24 PM: Message edited by: indoe ]
I don't have a Mac so it is difficult for me to test it. It gives a white page with the html code only. My site is on a Unix server. The problem is not so big I want to stress about it... If someone is stupid enough to try a Microsoft products in their Macs then let them be...
ok i have one question .. i recently installed the memberlists hack. usually i am suppose to see "memberlist" in the "my profile | register | search | faq | forum home"
but it doesnt appear there i installed the compact headers full and i think this might have something to do with it.. anyone know how to fix this? ----------------------------------------- never mind i fixed it (forgot to update the vars_wordlets_mods.cgi file)
[ June 09, 2001 10:09 PM: Message edited by: SK8285 ]
Did you add the memberlist link to $MainButtons in ubb_lib.pl?
Compact Headers uses that variable, so as long as the link is included in that line, it should appear normally in CH.
---Skorpion
yea tho i have a question skorp .. how come you didnt do that for active topics instead adding the extra code for each templat efile .. just something i wondered
I probably should have done that, I just didn't think about it when I put it in there. ---Skorpion
woo hoo this was so easy to do...
worked sweet!!!!
let me know if this correct: File: public_topic_page.pl this is the replace text what is did was try to add the rate topic to it [ June 14, 2001 12:07 AM: Message edited by: Loki ]
I don't remember how Rate Topic works exactly, but what you've got right now is the rating options in the same dropdown box as the Hop To options. I would venture a guess that that isn't correct.
I haven't had any experience with Rate Topic, so I can't tell you what to do. Just try it and see if it works correctly, I guess.

ok one little quesion! on the public_topic_page i get this using netscape my code is what should i change ?
Change to .
That was fixed a long time ago, in probably v1.3 or 1.4, I think.
---Skorpion
ah i did that and i still get the problem! and i cleared cache and every thing
Download the template distribution file and replace your public_topic_page.pl file with the one included in that zip. If that doesn't fix it, I have no clue.
When I first tried the fix after it was suggested here, it didn't work for me either. Then it just started working for some reason. I have no idea why.
---Skorpion
i want to take the hopto box out! what do i change? and also how do i fix that long table that expands that has the folder images in it?
also! the my profile page is messed up! i just did a clean install and the top table expands all the way around the page
same thing with the login page, registration page and search page
Did you download the template distribution file? It comes with a version that doesn't have the Hop To box, and I am 99% sure that there are no hacking mistakes at all in it.
---Skorpion
yes i did download the file and uploaded them and i am ussig 6.04f
ok every thing is working now! but the hop to boxes are there! how do i get rid of these? and yes they are in your template files that were downloaded
dose the pre hack file work with Ultimate Bulletin BoardTM 6.04f?
It was made with templates from UBB™ 6.04f. So it better! ---Skorpion
thx
Skorpion, hope you would help me, i just want to remove the banner icon and the links on the pages, i've already added my custom header, heres my link http://aandbanks.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi how would i go on to do that?
For right now, search the Design Integration forum for posts about removing the logo and the link line. Either that, or just install Compact Headers. If you want this done asap, you'll have to do a little work yourself. I have plans for an upcoming tutorial about how to do what you asked, as well as several other things that get asked about frequently around here. So you'll have to wait for next month if you want the instructions handed to you on a plate. ---Skorpion
well i think i'm goin' ta hafta wait becuz i just started messing around wit UBB last week, i still ain't too familiar wit these scripts and stuff, thanx anyways
will these be created with ubb605?
i see you got Compact Headers for memberlist at se7enet how about hooking us up
I"M GOIN" CRAZYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY i don't know whut i'm doin wrong, i've followed the instructions, didn't work, i uploaded all the files, still didn't work, what am i doin' wrong???? i'm running 6.0, is it able to do this, i'm so frustrated, please help! http://aandbanks.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi heres the link to my board, what am i doin wrong? i wanna leave the top you see and remove the small banner and the links, please help
go to your ubb control panel and clear the cache
alraight, thank god...or thank yall, its done, now theres somthing else, my ubb title comes up on the top in yellow, how do i remove that??? board http://aandbanks.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi
Why are you still using version 6.0 if you just started with it last week? You should really consider upgrading... LOTS of big security flaws have been fixed since 6.0.
---Skorpion
I've tried this three times no, and I can't seem to get it to work. uploaded all the files, cleared my cache, and my board looks exactly the same.
After I installed the compact header templates I can no longer move a topic Gives me an invalid format error I can delete and lock with no problem It started right after I uploaded the new termplates
I fix it [ June 27, 2001 09:21 AM: Message edited by: indoe ]
Skorpion, i been had this for a while now, first week i bought it i worked with it for about 3 days, by the time i started using it again my liscence member area expired, i don't have the loot right now thats why i'm tryin' ta get from this
Just installed these on a client's site Skorp... real nice ..:)
Allen why not make this template a standard template for release with ubbs if thats ok with Skorpion
Heh. Allen is not the person to talk about standard UBB code. Navaho or Charles Capps are the ones you want to talk to about that. And the VAST majority of stuff doesn't get added, no matter how much you beg and plead. Infopop isn't quite like the vBulletin types that add every hack they can find and call it a "feature". So I doubt they'll be interested in my hack... Glad you (or your client) liked it, Allen. ---Skorpion
1 small question... can i also use the template files for version 6.05?
Maybe i need to explain a bit more lol... the ones in the first post of this thread... they were from 6.04f right? Are those of 6.05 really different or can i still use these?

Yes. I do. ---Skorpion
I used them on a 6.05 site...
wow... 2 replies in such a short time *isinshock* Anyways... thanx to the both of you It saves me a lot of work, cuz i am awfully slow at search / copy / paste
If anyone has the zip of pre-hacked files, can they e-mail them to [email protected] or EVEN BETTER, upload them to another site where I can download them, 'cos Skorp's site is giving a 500 error. Thanks.
How can I get it to work with WOL my testpage shows nothing. http://www.certifyexpress.com/testing1.shtml

Certify: Did you put the WoL SSI pull in your test page too? The CH SSI doesn't actually display WoL, it just tells WoL where you are.

Is this the line?? How did you managed to get the WOL in the Compact Header? Do you mind to share the way you do it?

Thanks Scorpion. I feel like an idiot.. How stupid of me...
i have the edited file for 605 would you like these? they have nothing else done to them just the compact footers and headers
Yes I would like them. Can you sent to me at [email protected]Thanks.
Well, I installed the full version, by using the pre-done templetes. The look great, but when I try to move a thread, I get an error meesage saying invalid format. I'm using 6.05, that could be the problem.
You got that too, huh? I figured that was due to one of the other hacks I'd applied to my board - cal's Move Notification thing was what i was thinking. But if you're getting it too, I'll look into it. Could be the POST vs. GET issue... Was CH the only thing you'd changed on that board? BTW to all, Compact Headers is due for a rewrite as soon as 6.1 comes out. It will probably still look the same or very similar, but I will be rewriting it entirely. Currently I'm planning on fixing that stupid Active Topics link and making it the way it should have been made originally, as well as going for perfect HTML 4.01 or XHTML 1.0 validation. If anyone has any other suggestions for inclusion in Compact Headers 2.0, please feel free to reply to this post and lemme know. ---Skorpion
You can use anything from my site. http://board.stonecrick.com/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi I modified it some don't know if you like anything for the compact headers.
I hope this hasnt been covered already but i made an effort to read all 6 pages only my eyes are hurting. ok so great work on the mod but ive got a problem im guessing that the two "panels" should be on top of one another the "newtopic" and the "legend" the pic should make more sense. its even more of a problem because on my webby i have the forum in a smaller frame. any help greatfully recieved. cheers.
Actually, FYI, that's Compact Footers, not Headers... But since you prolly got it from the template distribution file, I'll cut ya some slack. The problem is your wordlets are too long. Those cells have been set to not wrap to keep their vertical size correct. But when you've got big long wordlets that aren't allowed to wrap down to another line, the table just has to stretch wider. You can either make the wordlets for those particular elements shorter yourself. Or if you go to the Compact Footers thread and download it's hacking instructions (not the template distribution file), and that has some suggestions for wordlets at the bottom of it. ---Skorpion
css support...:D you thinking what I'm thinkin? besides, would help with download speed and bandwidth usage...
Skorp, since I went to 6.05, my board is clean, no installed hacks. So it's something with the change in 6.05. When I put back original templetes then there's no problem moving threads. If I started adding hacks now, I'd just have to start all over again when 6.1 comes out. LoL. Sometimes I just get lazy.
yeah soz bout wrong topic, works fine now cheers very much.
Allen: CSS sounds great! As soon as 6.1 comes out, and I've got this nice set of CSS/XHTML templates to work with, I will start work... MrBill: I'm kinda the same way you are... 6.1 is coming out soon, and I'm rather apathetic about any new hacks right now. I'll look at the template when I get home and see if I figure out what the deal is, though, and mebbe post a really quick update before once again calling it final and waiting for 6.1 so I can begin work on 2.0.. ---Skorpion

If you want only Compact Footers, you'll have to download the hacking instructions and hack it yourself. Look for the Compact Footers Version 1.21 thread in this forum for instructions on that. ---Skorpion

OK... here's the deals... FINALLY, I got around to adding Allen's fix for the moving topic thing. Thanks much to Allen for that, and sorry it took me so long to get around to it. So the hack has now been updated to version 1.51 Final. Also, to those who've had problems, I've uploaded the Compact Templates distribution to my Modspace, which is hosted on the UBBDev server, so you can download it normally. The actual instructions for hacking yourself are still on Se7enet, though. And they're stuck there; I did happen to have a copy of the distribution file on my own computer, so I was able to arrange this mirror. But I didn't have the instruction file, and due to Code Red, I'm stuck out of my own server. So you'll all just have to do with the distribution file for now. Email or PM me privately if you are unable to access the Se7enet server.---Skorpion [ 09-28-2001: Message edited by: Skorpion ]
In the file compact header light, you never mention anything about "public_common.pl". My register, my profile, search, faq, etc. still have the same headers as before. The others parts of the board has been changed (header). What should I change in public_common.pl to make it look like the rest of the board? Thanks.
Compact Headers Light was a quick and painless hack that I threw out there for lazy people. It's made to change the three main views. Now that I'm allowed to distribute the actual template files, it is my reasoning that the lazy people who were too lazy to hack the whole thing themselves and felt they needed the Light version, can now be even more lazy by not hacking *anything*. As such, I'm not really supporting the Light version anymore. Which is why I closed the thread.
The reason the Light version doesn't change public_common is because the public_common change by itself is incomplete. If you hack public_common, you MUST hack all the rest of the templates, otherwise table tags won't get closed and the whole page will look screwed up.
---Skorpion
Skorpion.. please help.. how do i customize the hack for Calendar?
I'm sorry, but I've decided that due to time restraints and a general disinterest, I will not be doing any conversion for any other mods. If I help you, I'll have to help every other joe schmoe that asks about every single other mod out there, so I just don't do it period. The ONLY exceptions to this will be on mods that I've already converted for my own board, where i can just copy/paste my already-done hacking. And as you can see, my board right now is pretty hack-free, so you can see where that avenue is going... :rolleyes:
If you want the CH style in any other mods, you'll have to do it yourself. It probably isn't really that hard if you know HTML and the way UBB variables work.

I'd like to use this, along with many of the other hacks/templates I've seen, but many of them have been dealing with .pl files, which I don't have. All my UBB files are .cgi, how can I do this with those files?
go into the ubb folder, then into templetes, those are your .pl files. good luck
I need help getting in.. I don't understand how to find the usr & pwd. For the user name I'm putting in the 2nd to last word but since it has not worked, I put in the last word before the number.. thinking maybe you incuded the number as a word. for the password I tryed the last word in the sentence and also the last word before the comma, and even the last word of the pharagrh, and still i have no luck getting in. If someone could help me in what I'm doing wrong/finding wrong.. please say so..

ok, thank you. Can't wait to add this
Does anyone know if this hack is compatible with version 6.1.0.2 ?
straight from the creators fingers:
Manik - that was referring to the Compact Headers 2.0 Beta (aka CH2). To my knowledge, v1.5 will not work on any 6.1 version - it was designed for 6.0x only. CH2 was specifically rewritten for use with 6.1, though it's a little outdated now. For a version that (in theory) works with 6.1, click here . ---Skorpion
