Even though you say 'Original authors: Axeone, LK', thanks for crediting me in the page. (?ubb=authority_list) :rolleyes:

I don't require being credited just if I originally made it, but if you're crediting yourself, you can also credit the original authors.
Posted By: Lord Dexter Re: [6.2x] Authority List 2.2.1 - 02/02/2002 1:38 PM
Sorry, I credited you on the page too. smile

Good hack, working great. No problems yet found on 6.20

does this only work for 6.2 beta release 1.2 or does it work for regualr 6.2 too ?
Posted By: Lord Dexter Re: [6.2x] Authority List 2.2.1 - 02/19/2002 10:07 AM
Yep it works on All 6.2.0 versions. Has been tested on 6.2.1 too.

Still has that color bug from Axeone's versions wink

Find:

face="$vars_style{FontFace}">

Replace with:

face="$vars_style{FontFace}">
Thanks LK. Updated to 2.2.1 with Mega Mod Instructions and Bugfixes. The Mega Mod instructions are not tested and I did it pretty quick so there might be mistakes in there. Please report them.

============
In ubb_lib.cgi Find:
============

$MainButtons = qq!
$MyProfileLink $ifmyreg $RegisterLink $ifregsearch $SearchLink $ifsearchrest $vars_wordlets{faq_link} | $vars_wordlets_mods{ML_memberlist_link} | $vars_wordlets{forum_home_link}

==============================
Add Right After (On same line)
==============================

| $vars_wordlets_mods{auth_list}

========================================

In 6.2.x this has been replaced with:

sub MainButtonOptions {
my($this_forum, @items);
if (exists $in{'f'}) {
$this_forum = ";search_forum=$in{f}";
} else {
$this_forum = "";
}

# Okay, everyone whining about the main button options being
# hard to add to can now cut it out. :-D

if ($vars_registration{DisplayRegistration} ne 'NO') {
# My Profile
push(@items, qq($vars_wordlets{profile_link}));

if($vars_registration{SuspendRegister} ne "true") {
# Register
push(@items, qq($vars_wordlets{register_link}));
} # end if
} # end if

if ($vars_search{AllowSearch} ne 'FALSE') {
# Search
push(@items, qq($vars_wordlets{search_link}));
}

# FAQ
push(@items, qq($vars_wordlets{faq_link}));
# Forum Home
push(@items, qq($vars_wordlets{forum_home_link}));

return join(" | ", @items)
} # end MainButtonOptions

So this step should be:

============
In ubb_lib.cgi Find:
============

# Forum Home
push(@items, qq($vars_wordlets{forum_home_link}));

==============================
Add Right After
==============================

#Authority list
push(@items, qq($vars_wordlets_mods{auth_list}));

========================================
In ubb_forum_summary.cgi Find:
========================================
Code
[/code]Should be: 

[code]

BTW, for the CP integration, you can use 'Mod CP Addon' hack laugh
Posted By: MrStormyNights Re: [6.2x] Authority List 2.2.1 - 02/27/2002 7:18 PM
Just installed this and I am getting the following when I try to go my UBB. I can't get to the forum summary page at all:

FYI
We are not accepting new registrations at this time.

ยป Please use your browser's back button to return.
Posted By: LK Re: [6.2x] Authority List 2.2.1 - 02/27/2002 7:20 PM
And who said it's this hack's fault?! Make sure everything is fine at CP - Registration Settings
Posted By: MrStormyNights Re: [6.2x] Authority List 2.2.1 - 02/27/2002 7:55 PM
It was working fine before I installed this hack, and its fine now that I removed it.

FYI - I have registration turned off, We do not allow registrations on our site, we add people based on if they meet our requirements for roleplaying. They have to submit an application first.
Posted By: LK Re: [6.2x] Authority List 2.2.1 - 02/27/2002 8:15 PM
Oh, I didn't see you said 'forum summary'. It's something from the 6.0 series, when I didn't know Perl almost at all wink

Instead of:
Code
[/code]Use[code]
(in both ubb_forum_summary.cgi and ubb_auth_list.cgi)
Posted By: Lord Dexter Re: [6.2x] Authority List 2.2.1 - 02/28/2002 7:54 AM
Thanks again LK, I totally forgot the 6.0 code had that problem with it. I thought it worked perfectly since I didn't see any complaints. ZIP updated with that code. Make sure you upgrade if you using 2.2.0. These are essential bugfixes. laugh

Edit-Thanks to MrStormyNights too, ZIP updated again. Hmm I though I had updated that code. Anyway...
Also, it won't work with 6.2.0 Beta's anymore besides for 6.2.1 Beta 1.0
Posted By: JonNJapan Re: [6.2x] Authority List 2.2.1 - 02/28/2002 10:13 AM
What would I do to only add the new page, and not the thing at the bottom of the forum home?

~Jon
Posted By: Lord Dexter Re: [6.2x] Authority List 2.2.1 - 02/28/2002 10:34 AM
Remove the code added in public_forum_summary.pl and ubb_forum_summary.cgi and just leave the link at the top of forum home.
Posted By: eXtremeTim Re: [6.2x] Authority List 2.2.1 - 02/28/2002 1:44 PM
LD you keeping ecf on the newest version???
Posted By: Lord Dexter Re: [6.2x] Authority List 2.2.1 - 03/01/2002 8:04 AM
Eep, Nope. I'll upgrade it soon for you. wink
Posted By: Nem1386 Re: [6.2x] Authority List 2.2.1 - 03/03/2002 9:54 PM
Does anyone have a working link to this because www.extremechatforums.com has be down for some time thanks.
Posted By: Lord Dexter Re: [6.2x] Authority List 2.2.1 - 03/04/2002 7:51 AM
I'm sorry about that. I'll try get it up on a different server. The link will work again soon. Sorry for the Inconvienience.
Posted By: lauren Re: [6.2x] Authority List 2.2.1 - 03/08/2002 6:12 PM
Can we change the style of the page? (?ubb=authority)

edit: I know also see an error tipsy . On the mainpage under [Authority List] mods won't show up.

It says: Administrators: Lauren
Moderators: [nothing], and yes I know sure that there's somebody mod. tipsy

On ?ubb=authority the mods do show up!

Anothere problem:
I installed now also the megamod addon and I get the same problem, but the megamods doesn't show up in ?ubb=authoiry neither frown

url= http://gknet.twistedanime.net/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi

I hope somebody can help me! Thanks in advance
Posted By: Lord Dexter Re: [6.2x] Authority List 2.2.1 - 03/09/2002 1:25 AM
Thats a weird prob. I can't spot a mistake in the code. Are you sure you have all the code required in ubb_forum_summary.cgi?

EDIT-Looking at the forum, Sortalic (the mod) status is Junior Member, not Moderator. In ubb=authority the mods do show up, but no Super Mods. Do you have Mega Mod installed?
Posted By: lauren Re: [6.2x] Authority List 2.2.1 - 03/09/2002 12:30 PM
Yes I have, I thought Laurem (me tipsy ) was the admin, sortalic the MegaModerator (sub-admin) and voldemort (a moderator. But I could make a mistake here. I'll check everything twice now wink

edit: the world is full of unespected things tipsy . The moderators now work, but the megamod still won't work. I'll rehacking it soon smile
Posted By: Lord Dexter Re: [6.2x] Authority List 2.2.1 - 03/09/2002 12:59 PM
It could be my MegaMod addon. I rushed it and it was un-tested. But re-install the MegaMod for me, just to make sure. Thanks.
Posted By: lauren Re: [6.2x] Authority List 2.2.1 - 03/09/2002 2:58 PM
I allready planed to do that smile . I'm now starting with it wink . Or else I try the megamod addon for authority list wich comes with the megamod zip file. (if it makes any difference tipsy )
Posted By: Lord Dexter Re: [6.2x] Authority List 2.2.1 - 03/10/2002 1:38 AM
Don't use the one in the MegaMod Zip. It's for the old version.
Posted By: lauren Re: [6.2x] Authority List 2.2.1 - 03/10/2002 1:21 PM
I rehacked only the *.cgi files and now I get:

Code
[/code]Line 675 of ubb_forum_summary.cgi = (the last line)
[code]
Posted By: Raichu Babai Re: [6.2x] Authority List 2.2.1 - 03/10/2002 4:34 PM
I find it most of the time when i get that error is to delete the blank line below the line:

# $Id: ubb_forum_summary.cgi,v 1.3 2002/01/31 23:34:47 cvscapps Exp $
Posted By: lauren Re: [6.2x] Authority List 2.2.1 - 03/10/2002 4:41 PM
ok, i'll try. thank you

euhm...i'm affraid there isn't any space after it tipsy
Posted By: Lord Dexter Re: [6.2x] Authority List 2.2.1 - 03/11/2002 12:33 AM
Do you edit ubb_forum_summary.cgi in the MegaMod hack? or did you re-hack the Auth List?
Posted By: lauren Re: [6.2x] Authority List 2.2.1 - 03/13/2002 7:27 PM
No (you don't edit ubb_forum_summary.cgi)
No (I didn't rehack the authority-list hack, why should I? That hack works great smile )
Posted By: Lord Dexter Re: [6.2x] Authority List 2.2.1 - 03/15/2002 8:10 AM
I'm glad it does. It's just that MegaMod addon that worries me.
I'm going to finalise the CP addon with LK's hack and maybe SSI and then we can finalise this hack. laugh
Posted By: lauren Re: [6.2x] Authority List 2.2.1 - 03/15/2002 7:58 PM
OK, good luck wink
Posted By: ADWOFF Re: [6.2x] Authority List 2.2.1 - 03/18/2002 9:21 PM
I was able to install the Authority List w/out too many problems (most of them were created my moi tipsy )--I even created a Multihack file as I went along doing the manual hacking.

Installed it w/the Multihack.

Sweet! laugh

I then tried to tackle the Mega Mod, and I encountered an error ... I don't know if it was my hacking or the hack itself. My brain was too fried to check it out.

This is what the error said:
quote:
An error has occured:
/home/adwoff/ubb-test/cgi/ubb_forum_summary.cgi: Missing right bracket at /home/adwoff/ubb-test/cgi/ubb_forum_summary.cgi line 703, at end of linesyntax error at /home/adwoff/ubb-test/cgi/ubb_forum_summary.cgi line 703, at EOF

I also am confused. I was thinking the Mega Mod hack was the "8 Mods to a Forum" hack. I was wrong. laugh

What exactly does the MM hack do? I'll try to debug what I did if I know exactly why I'm installing it! laugh

So ... is there an "8 Mods to the Forum" hack designed for the UBB 6.2+ series?

ADWOFF, go here to get to page 2 of the 6.2 hacks, there is a bug with 6.2.2 that prevents it from being displayed, the 8 moderators is there. Mega mod Creates a new status like an administrator to the boards, but limited access to control panel, if desired, in other words, moderators can be made jr admins. I also have a multihack that does 16 moderators per forum if you want that.
Posted By: ADWOFF Re: [6.2x] Authority List 2.2.1 - 03/19/2002 2:45 AM
Thanks, Mr. SN ... I think I'll wait for the MegaMods' hack until the UBB is released and that one file is included.

Clankiller directed me to the 8 Mod hack ... if I would use your Multihack to install the 16, what would it do to my presently installed Authority List?
Posted By: MrStormyNights Re: [6.2x] Authority List 2.2.1 - 03/19/2002 6:27 AM
ADWOFF, I think you are confusing these three hacks.

Megamod makes moderators have more power.

Authority list just shows who is moderators and admins and I think it shows who is megamods too, but not sure on that one.

8 moderators or 16 moderators will not affect authority list in any way. How many moderators per forum do you want, if 8 is enough stick with the 8, if you want more I have the 16 thing.
Posted By: lauren Re: [6.2x] Authority List 2.2.1 - 03/19/2002 6:29 PM
correctie: (this is dutch tipsy )

megamod adds a NEW 'rank' to you UBB. An megamoderator has more permission than a moderator but less then an admin.

To be more specific, they can mod all forums and have the same CP power as a moderator. I'm glad that forum you posted has the MegaMod addon working. Unless they changed any mistakes I may have made.
