Update!
12th June 2002 1:20AM Board Time - If you have installed this hack before this date re-upload ubb_auth_list.cgi, public_auth_list.pl and re-hack public_forum_summary.pl. Fixes are the MegaMod activation and copyrights in public_auth_list.pl
13th June 2002 - If you have installed this hack before this date re-hack ubb_forum_summary.cgi and vars_wordlet_mods.cgi. MegaMod activation I hope is now fixed and : has been added to the MegaMod variable. (Thanks to Oblivion for that fix)
5th July 2002 - Fix in public_auth_list.pl. Pleae re-upload this to upgrade.
6th July 2002 - Fixed a bug in PNTF tracking. Now uses new PNTF code number. Re-hack ubb_lib_pntf.cgi, public_display_profile.pl and new step in public_pntf_admin.pl.

Please report ant bugs in code. Thank you.

LD,

I think your demo link is mistyped. It's .net right now and directs to a registrar site.

Just FYI.

I found the correct link using the one in your sig. (which is .com) Nice work!

I don't think you got it

public_forum_summary.pl instructions already have $megamod, but it's invisible unless there are some megamods. So MegaModAddon's public_forum_summary.pl modification isn't necessary anymore.
My other suggestion of ubb_auth_list.cgi:

Code

[/code]public_auth_list.pl:[code]

Then you don't need megamodaddon.txt at all, and it shows the megamod line only if there is atleast 1 MegaModerator.

LK, the thing is it leaves a blank line if the hack ins't installed and it doesn't look too good so thats why I had to take it out. Sorry. Actually, a better idea is to add the
in the megamod variable code and then that line goes kapoof!

And I will make those changes soon.

Zackary - Thank you, fixed link.

Does the hack still use a lot of server resource or has that been fixed up now?

Thanks,
Oblivion Knight

I mentioned in the first post it's fixed.

Ahem, where did I tell you TO ADD
TO PUBLIC_AUTH_LIST?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Very good news. After I work on debugging a couple things with my main/test board, I'll give this one a shot.

I installed it today, after modding it a little. It runs really well and I love the rebuild staff function. I think it's a great hack for people like me that don't always remember who all of the moderators are...hahaha, I know that sounds terrible but it gets busy there sometimes.

Gotcha now, fixing it up.

And thanks for installing XperT. LK did a good job with making it more server efficent (sp?).

EDIT - Zip has been updates. Instructions of how to upgrade are under the Download link in the post.

LD, my 6.3.0 was different to the instructions..

In ubb_lib_ptnf.cgi Find:

Code

[/code]My version was:

[code]

Thanks Oblivion. Readme updated.

A couple of other things..
The code needs changing a little if using the MegaMods part of the hack..

I understand that if you used this hack and not the MegaMods hack, that the 'Mega Moderators:' part of the hack at the bottom of the forum summary would still show, so I don't know how you'd want to go about this..

In public_forum_summary.pl:

Code

[/code]Change to:

Code
</pre></div></div>In <span style="font-weight: bold">ubb_forum_summary.cgi</span>:<br><br><div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Code</div><div class="ubbcode-body ubbcode-pre" ><pre>
Change to:

Code
</pre></div></div>In <span style="font-weight: bold">vars_wordlets_mods.cgi</span>:<br><br><div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Code</div><div class="ubbcode-body ubbcode-pre" ><pre>
Change to:

[code]

Also, how would I go about adding the team icon next to a MegaMods name in a topic?

Oh JEEZ, LD, if I give you good code, you have to break it?!

The code straight from my text file: [code][/code]Why did you remove the first part? :rolleyes:

But my way of doing it is still satisfactory i hope?

No, because yours says "Mega Moderators:" also if you haven't installed that hack... It's fine for YOUR board, but not for the instructions

Sorry LK, I had changed it for my board but not the instructions and OK if you had looked at the $megamod variable code it already includes the wordlet info. Zip updated. Sorry for my forgetfulness.

I downloaded this hack but.
when it says

[code][/code]Well I dont have this file I only have ubb_lib_pnft.cgi

Thats the file (ubb_lib_pntf.cgi). Sorry it was a typo and it will be fixed soon.

Well the code is actually wrong I dont have
this:

Code

[/code]The closest Ive got to that is this.
 [code]

i went ahead and changed it.
(Backed up though)

Well it worked in the control panel I could rebuild staff index but when I went o look at my boards it says:

quote:
An error has occured:

ubb_lib_pntf.cgi: syntax error at D:GearHostHostingAccountsdigitalfaultwwwforumscgi-bin/ubb_lib_pntf.cgi line 108, near "if"

Please inform the board administration of this error so that they may fix the problem. Thank you!

This also happens when I click on the Authority list at the top of the page.

Make sure the code is like this inside that file (the part you added first)

if((exists $in->{ubb}) && ($in->{ubb} ne '')) { if($in->{ubb} !~ m/^(authority|forum|get_topic|pntf)$/) {

And not added after.

yeah me and my friend just worked that out.
Thanx for your help LD

I better make the instructions alot more clearer for the people who can't figure it out. Eep...

I go to the "Rebuild Staff Index" page in the CP and I get:

quote:
Undefined subroutine &main::rebuild_staff called at cp.cgi line 851.

I've rehacked cp.cgi, but still no good.

Little help please?

[EDIT: Never mind, I forgot to save cp_index.cgi. -_-;; ]

How can I put the team icon next to a MegaMod's name..?
Currently this hack isn't doing this for me..

Oblivion use this in public_topic_page.pl instead of what you have now.

[code][/code]

I think you mean

[code][/code]But anyway, thanks LD

I don't see the difference. o_O

You added an extra 'if' in front of '($user_profile[8] eq "MegaModerator")){'

Which isn't needed and causes errors..

Ahh. What an idiotic mistake.

*Calls LK for an auto activation for the MegaMod team icon*

Actually, it doe it automatically if you use Oblivion Knight's code, because if you haven't installed megamod, the user_profile[8] will never be 'MegaModerator'.

Wahey..!
I've done something right for a change..

Will update the link with new code once my server gets back up.

Just out of interest..

Shouldn't this:

Code

[/code]Be this?

[code]

No, because "Moderator" is included in "MegaModerator". (/Moderator/, not /^Moderator$/)

Zip Updated. Auth list template now uses $standard_title_table variable. Re-upload public_auth_list.pl.

Also, coming soon. An useless Auth List feature!

Zip Updated again. Fixed a bug in PNTF tracking. Now uses new PNTF code number. Re-hack ubb_lib_pntf.cgi, public_display_profile.pl and new step in public_pntf_admin.pl.

Either me or you missed a square bracket from this blob of code in public_topic_page.pl..

Code

[/code]It should be..

[code]

Thanks Oblivion, must have deleted it. Zip Updated with that little fix.

The link seems to be down, does anyone have a working link to this ?

My server is going to be up tomorrow night (My server guy told me) so links will be up then. Sorry for the inconvienience.

OK thanks, if anyone needs any mirror sites for their hacks let me know.

Does this work with v6.3.1?

Also the link still doesn't work, can't download =(.

It should work on 6.3.1 but since my board has been down for a while I will find a temp server for my hacks. Sorry for the inconvience.

please, upload soon

i really want this hack

Temp link for you:
http://www.darkoriface.com/ob/auth_list63.zip

- Oblivion.

Thanks a lot oblivion Knight!

I updated the first post with a new link that works. Sorry for any incovience the server people have been bad..

We're running 6.3.1, and I'm having one problem.

This does not appear anywhere in public_topic_page.pl:

Quote

code:

Code

$show_public_name

(which you're then supposed to replace with $show_public_name $team_tag)

This comes right after:

code:
[qb]

Code

===========================================
Open public_topic_page.pl and Find:
===========================================

sub topic_row {

==================
ADD BELOW: (Megamod code for this block thanks to Oblivion Knight)
==================

if (($user_profile[8] eq "Moderator") &#0124;&#0124; ($user_profile[8] eq "Administrator") &#0124;&#0124; ($user_profile[8] eq 'MegaModerator')){
$team_tag ="<a href="$vars_config{CGIURL}/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=authority"><img src="$vars_config{NonCGIURL}/team.gif" alt="$user_profile[8]" border="0"></a>";
} else {
$team_tag ="";
}

[/qb]

Since I don't have MegaModerator installed, should I assume that $show_public_name is also only if you have it installed, and thus I can ignore it....?

$show_public_name in 6.3.1 is $linkname

Thanks LK! Worked like a charm.

Hi,

a very nice hack, but all seems to work but on my forums homepage there are no moderatores or administrators listet!

I have rebuild the staff index and cleared the cache! What can I do?

Thanks
d-talk

Hmmmm.. Just thought of something.
When a MegaMod still has a Mod position, on the Authority List he/she is shown as a Mod and not a MegaMod.

What additions to the code would have to be made to make it possible to allow a MegaMod show as a MegaMod even if they still have a Mod position?

Dont have a mega mod as a mod on a forum?

Allen, I think Tim just beat your record for late responses. almost 2 years

A late response is better then no response.
