Since the LACK of response from my testers, I am releasing this to the public. This is basically the anchor hack, recoded it to kill all sign of bugs, and am posting it here --
Works for 6.1 now!

No need to upgrade from 6 unless you feel so. Not many code changes...

Hey Mastermind..I tested it out on UBB 6.05 and it works perfectly..I love it..Does exactly as described..No bugs experienced..

Sounds great! But the link is bad.

Just went and found the thread for Anchor Hack 6, and the link there takes me to 7! Heres the link I used if anyone still has problems with the link above. http://www.coders-net.com/hacks/anchor.txt

Just noticed something in your instructions I downloaded. Your instructions say:

-------------------------
>>Open ubb_new_topic.cgi

>>Replace:

&Transition("$vars_config{CGIURL}/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum&f=$in{f}", "$vars_wordlets{thanks_for_posting}", "$this_forum[1]");

>>With:

&Transition("$vars_config{CGIURL}/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=$in{f}&t=$new_topic_number", "$vars_wordlets_mods{anchor_thanks}", "$this_forum[1]");
-------------------------

If you wanted the thank you page saying the forum topic, it needs to be replace with:

-------------------------
&Transition("$vars_config{CGIURL}/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=$in{f}&t=$new_topic_number", "$vars_wordlets_mods{anchor_thanks}", "$this_subject");
-------------------------

Tks

Works great

Replace with: &Transition("$vars_config{CGIURL}/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=$in{f}&t=$in{t}$doextra#$anchor&counterhit=no", "$vars_wordlets{thanks_for_posting}", "$this_subject");

tks LK, tried but says.. "hack atempt logged: topic not it propper format" or something like that... what can it be ?

BR

Hmm... So try Edit: used [quote] so the thread will look fine

[ July 28, 2001: Message edited by: LK ]

tks one more time... now its working

BR

I installed the hack on my test board (after searching for the various code -- some of it didn't match when I searched) ... it appears to be running AOK.

Thanks.

Updates for PB 1.2 (xhtml changes too ):

public_topic_page.pl (template):

Change from:

quote:

---

---

to:

quote:

---

---

ubb_edit_post.cgi has changed from:

quote:

---

sub perform_edit {
local($count, $message, $ip_number, @post_data, $edit_date, $edit_time, @last_numbers);

---

to:

quote:

---

sub perform_edit {
local ($count, $message, $ip_number, @post_data, $edit_date, @last_numbers);

---

It looks like you updated the TXT file that is linked to on the thread starter post.

The 2nd change you noted has been done, however the first change you noted does not match or you have made the change and changed the change.


Which should it be?

Always follow the doc. I felt like using / instead of another tag.

haxoring txt works great. thx

MasterMind- I think I've had an issue with the redirect portion of this hack when clicking on the "pm" function on a page thread (removing the hack fixed the error- so I am assuming it is this)- when it attempts to redirect you back to the thread once you are done composing the PM - the redirect shows:

But it gets truncated at the first ;, so the redirect URL just goes to http://forum.soundillusions.net/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic -- I am assuming altering the ; to & like the rest of the redirects do will repair this issue- but I don't know where to find this section to repair it.

This only happens with sending a new PM off a forum thread- nowhere else though...

Works fine, but:

If I edit a posting, the hack redirects me one page too far (instead of 4 to 5 etc.)
