Hi Ian,

I have it done, but nothing have changed, can you have a look at my files you have the ftp datas from the last hack problem... :rolleyes:

Looked at the file, you hadn't done that step. I did that step, and it works.

Thank you Ian, but I can not post an anouncement?

Do all the steps in cp2_lib.cgi

I have made all steps in cp2_lib.cgi but there is no new point at the cp...

fixed.

Thanks!!!

Whats now wrong?

The colspan is now off due to you having the hit hack installed. that's what's wrong

You have installed the hit-hack as well, can you tell me what I have to change?

upload cp2_announcements.pl

Yes I have uploaded cp2_announcements.pl, everything works fine now, but only the colspan is not correct...

What can I do with the colspan?

add a column in MakeThatAnnouncementStrip where the hits cell would be, and put in N/A

Ian, can you do that for me.... :rolleyes:

no, and do you remember what Charles said about that smiley?

Yes I remember, but do you remember what I answered him?

Ok, than I can not use that hack....

I'm kinda confused and with the same problem Ian. Can I just add straight HTML code for the additional column or do I gotta do a qq~ thing ?

Tried adding another copy of a returner .= line with just -- in the cell and it broke into lil pieces

Thanks!

Nevermind i figured that out .. I had copied the last returner .= and included the hehe

But, when I create a announcement its generating a Blank one as well?

Ok .. one more thing ... how about a way for it to NOT show the announcement in the actual Announcement Forum ? Looks odd .. at least with only one announcement

Ok .. just ONE more thing. When I click on the actual Title/Subject of the Announcment it seems to ignore the Style I selected. Its ok in the Actual Announcement Forum and when I click the Discuss HERE .. but not when clicking the title itself ?

Updated with the following enhancements/bugfixes.

If you refer to line 17 of ubb_announcements.cgi, you can have the announcements page use the same colorscheme as the announcements forum.

When adding your first announcement, you should no longer get a blank announcement in addition to yours. You can safely delete the blank announcement.

Added code in public_forum_page.pl to allow for a fix to the colspan issue created by the hit hack.

also added some code so you can hide announcements in the announcement forum

Hi Ian,

Thanks for helping us who use the hit-hack, but look here:

http://www.d-talk.tv/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum;f=46

Now the Headers of the columns are not correct...

updated

Thanks Ian!

Can you list the files needed to be updated? Or is it listed in the new download?

Thanks!

ubb_forum.cgi and public_forum_page.pl

Thanks!
