What is it? A complete makeover for UBB Threads. Inactive hyperlinks are not displayed and many tables have been removed to make adding graphics to your site look better.

How do I install it?

1) Backup your files first! Copy all of the template in the included zip file to your ubbthreads/templates/default directory.

Where can I see an example? Da Forum -keep in mind that I've modified my site to add graphics (those mods are also posted in this forum).

10 December 03: Version 1.0 released.
12 December 03: Added the correct version of ubbt_icon_select.tmpl
16 December 03: Fixed a colspan error in myhome.tmpl
28 December 03: Fixed an error in the ubbt_instant_ubbcode.tmpl file.
29 December 03: Stole an idea from Josh and moved the my Home and New User links in the ubbt_registerednav.tmpl and ubbt_unregisterednav.tmpl files
01 Jan 04: Fixed a bug that disabled post management in the showflat.tmpl and the showthreaded.tmpl files.
01 Jan 04: Fixed missing $calevent variable in showflat.tmpl and showthreaded.tmpl -must have more coffee...
05 Jan 04: Changed the tbopen.tmpl and tbclose.tmpl templates (they were the table wrappers that I use on my site to hold graphics).
08 Jan 04: Fixed a bug in the ubbt_unregisterednav.tmpl file (no . after the home link). Thanks Allen!
10 Jan 04: Fixed a possible bug in the editbasic.tmpl file. Thanks Allen!

Praise the Lord for these templates! Thank you!

No problem

thank you, I'll be using these on one of my personal sites

hmmm.. does this have a problem with post icons showing up on the forum summary?

http://www.cccbmt.org/forum/ubbthreads.php

I get a blank image in my post about updating the software to make it more user-friendly

I had a problem with the ubbt_icon_select.tmpl file but I fixed it and re-uploaded the zip file before anyone had downloaded it. The correct template is the one that's in the /templates/alternate directory that comes with Threads.

I'll veryfy that the zip file has the correct template.

Well done.

Thanks for the props!

There was a bug in the ubbt_icon_select.tmpl file that would cause a blank icon to get selected instead of the default. If you've already downloaded the zip file just replace the ubbt_icon_select.tmpl file with the standard one that comes in the /ubbthreads/templates/alternate directory. I'll see if one of the other mods can help me squash the bug...

Dalantec I just joined your site

However your menu wraps for me like the one here at threads dev and look horrid

What resolution do you have your monitor set to? I'll change the menu so that it doesn't wrap

I've uploaded a new zip file to the origial post in this thread with a corrected copy of hyhome.tmpl -minor column span error fixed.

How do I insert the quick reply hack V5.0 in this facelist ? It is to hard for me to modify showflat and showthread. Is there a finished version avaible for this ?

I just looked at those two templates. You should have no problem at all finding where to insert the quick reply mod in those templates.

In showthreaded.tmpl where the compact mod starts is where it goes

and in showflat.tmpl the code to find is the same your looking for $pageprint right That table closed and then quick reply gets inserted.

I will try it tommorow again. Maybe its to late and I can't see where. Its about 2 O'clock ...

Dalantech, can you post the part from your .css for the tbopen.tmpl ?
Thats: tlc, topleft, top, topright, trc, left, middle

It's just for an example to see what do you do with it and what do you set in it. It should a base for my to try my own try's. Tjhanks for this great work.

Zarzal in the forum design forum there is the tablewrappers mod where you can download the files you need and see exactly how the classes used in the tablewrappers work.

Check out the Table wrapper mod that I wrote -the CSS changes are included, as well as some graphics to get you started

I think I found an error in one of the template files:
ubbt_instant_ubbcode.tmpl

The problem is that the options to for poll start, poll option, and poll end are all still there in a row. Polls now don't use those tags. You have to check the box above submit that says add a poll to this post. At least I think it's a problem from these templates because this is the set I use. I fixed this problem by replacing that template w/ the stock version from Infopop.

-good catch! I've fixed the ubbt_instant_ubbcode.tmpl file and the zip file in the original post has been updated. Thanks!

Conrad has sugested that all of the dead hyperlinks be removed in Threads 6.5, so hopefully the days of "Facelift" are numbered

What are dead hyperlinks anyways?

Links that go nowhere Kinda like in the stock versions the edit reply post etc that guest have no hyperlink attached too.

is that dead links or dead lynx?

[]donJulio said:

Normally Threads displays the text of a link even if you don't have the right to use it. So, for example, the Reply link text will be visible even if the hyperlink behind it isn't available. I don't like the way it looks, so I scripted them completely out if you don't have the right to use them.

A prime example is the articles at my site -when I view it I see an edit, reply, and quote link because I've got admin rights. Normal users won't see any links at all since I don't allow anyone other than moderators and admins to edit, reply, or quote in an article.

I've fixed a bug in the showflat.tmpl and showthreaded.tmpl file that would not allow post management

I try to fix this yesterday But your fix looks better. There is something else: miss the $calevent

Do you remove it or just forget ?

I'm just getting old -good catch! I've fixed both showflat and showthreaded and I uploaded a corrected zip file to the first post.

Do you be sure to upload the correct .zip file ? seems to be the old one with both files from 00:49 and no change in it.

I had more than one version on my PC and I uploaded the wrong one

It's correct now -thanks!

now it's correct. You insert the missing part there where I assume it. Thanks for the update and a happy new year.

Thanks for letting me know!!!

Happy New Year!

Thanks to drkknght for spotting this one: I had my modified tbopen.tmpl and tbclose.tmpl files in Facelift (I have mine set up for graphics). I've replaced them with the stock templates and updated the zip file attached to the first post.

Sorry Dal. I had a problem and Josh had to fix those two templates (tbopen and tbclose). I should have let you know, but I just forgot

No problem -I just need to keep Facelift seperate from other things that I do with the tempaltes

small bug... unregisterednav needs a . between the home link and main index link

Fixed -thanks for letting me know!

possible bug - unable to update profile page

I just updated my profile on Da LAN Tech: What error are you getting / what are the symptoms? For Facelift I just pulled out some table wrappers so that there were fewer tables being generated, but none of the other original data was touched in that file...

When I would try to update the page with username/password/avatar stuff it would say:

"it does not appear that this was submitted from the proper place" or something like that.

I uploaded the editbasic template and editbasic/changebasic php files a few times without improvements. It finally worked again when I went back to the base editbasic template file.

I'll add the one I have to the zip file -not sure why it would be different though.

thanks da I had a similar problem with new registrations.. I may try a beyond compare and see if something jumps out at me.

I added the template that I use to the zip. Please let me know if it works.

sure, thanks

OK - there is a change that needs to be made to these templates for 6.4.1... new security check.

in editbasic.tmpl, editdisplay.tmpl AND editemail.tmpl, you need to add this:

<input type="hidden" name="profilehash" value="$profilehash" />

Also - in newpost.tmpl and newreply.tmpl

This:

<input type="checkbox" name="addsig" value="1" checked="checked" class="formboxes" />
{$ubbt_lang['ADDSIG']}


Should be replaced with

$addsig


Or else anonymous people get the signature checkbox.

I'll fix both in the next few days and get a new zip file up to the first post -thanks for letting me know Josh!!!

Great one, Thanks boss!!

question: is anyone else with the facelift templates having difficulty with the automated welcome PMs?

not sure if its related or not, but, ever since i popped them in, my welcome pms are all screwy. like, you get the notification that you have one, but there's really nothing in the inbox.

other PMs work fine

?

The templates wouldn't have any impact on the welcome PMs. There was a bug in a past version of Threads that would send out a welcome PM with no subject -so you couldn't read it. Is that the error you see?

yeah, that sounds like its it

should i just grab a cleaner, updated version of 6.4 and upload the updated files?

Yes, but the bug is in one of the PHP scripts -and I don't remember which one

Do you have a user #2 (the main admin).

That'll happen if you're missing the user#2.

Try this SQL Query

SELECT U_Username
FROM w3t_Users
WHERE U_Number = 2

and see if you get any results.

Nice Work! Yea really.

Thanks! Facelift for Threads 6.5 is gonna be even better
