Graphics:

You will needd this one

Save as bookmark.gif and add to your UBB directory;

In order to get the most from this you should also upload a favicon.ico graphic to your root web directory- I am sure that someone will explain why in due course [Linked Image]

It really makes this hacklet

Dave,

You have any idea how to make status levels function with version 5.44a? I'm going nuts trying different things, to no avail. I've had status levels that have worked through 5.42, and now, with the upgrade to 5.44a, nothing I try seems to work.

going nuts in new york!

Is it possible to add a "Make Bookmark" function for Netscape. If not, I've changed the code as follows:

Code

code:

Also, don't the changes go in ubb_library2.pl not ubb_library.pl?

Just a thought [Linked Image]

I get this error
Error including required files: syntax error at /usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/guyana/cgi-bin/ubb/ubb_library2.pl line 290, near ""$NonCGIURL/bookmark.gif" BORDER" Make sure these files exist, permissions are set properly, and paths are set correctly.

I get the same error as ak [Linked Image]

The icon exists, and permissions are set....

UBB 5.44a....

Sorry the file to edit is ubblibary2.pl

I did figure that much out, that the wrong file was listed, but I still get the above message I have posted.
No trouble though, I have decided not to use it [Linked Image]

I got the same error -- android as I amd though ... I figured it out!

Apparently, for some strange reason, there was one too many ");" in there.

To cure, just remove the ");" from after the top line of the block.

Easy-peasy.

Just found a problem with the hack. If a thread title contains quote (") in it, you'll get JavaScript error, since you need to backslash all special characters in perl/java/php.
You need to fix that

No offence to your wonderfullness, but you're wrong.

The reason for the JS error is that the Javascript statement ends up like this:

code:

This means that the string is terminated early, causing the error.
