Well i have a made a very easy hack to get a help link for your UBB, the link goes with Profile, Mail, Quote, etc

In ubb_library2.pl

Find:

if ($ProfileNumber ne "") {
@thisprofile = &OpenProfile("$ProfileNumber.cgi");
$EmailView = $thisprofile[11];
$ThisStatus = $thisprofile[8];

Add Below:

$help = qq( );

Next find the following
$EditLink

And add after that:

$help

See it in action at http://hammer.prohosting.com/~gbhq3/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/Ultimate.cgi

I would love to add this, but your link does not work. I need to see this in action.

mrwebb -- it looks the exact way it sounds...nothing special about it, except that it puts a help image next to the edit link.

Omegakid -- a simple, but nice hack bravo!

mrwebb - try this link http://hammer.prohosting.com/~gbhq3/cgi-bin/ubb//Forum1/HTML/000001.html

Nice to see a hack from you here Omega. Keep it up. When I've got time, I'll redesign the icon for you.

Just a thought

Here's an alternative icon for you...




Just a thought

PS. UBBMaster - since HTML is disabled, you need to change the code generated by your uploader to UBB code instead of HTML.

thanks cal, what I didn't say was that you have to make a help.html in your noncgi folder.

I think people would have guessed that (hopefully).

Just a thought

Yes cal -- MUCH better icons...

What can I say - I'm just talented (and have the correct font).

Just a thought

what font is it?
I just done that in Paint Shop Pro.

It's not an actual font as such. It's a bitmapped character set that you can get (from me) here: http://www.one37.com/files/tinyfont.bmp

Just a thought

cal, thanks for the images. good job

Perk0314, Thanks for the link to a working version. It looks awesome!!

Omegakid, cool hack. I added it to my list of hacks at http://www.mrwebb.net/ubbhacks

When you sin, you don't fall FROM God's grace, you fall INTO it!!

Nice hack indeed!
Cal: cool icons!

mrwebb thanks, I have to say i visit your site a lot, Also i only started applying hacks for my UBB last sunday.

If people need icons designing for their hacks then just mail/ICQ me.

Also, I modified the copy icon, but ubb master hasn't changed it yet (wrong font). Here it is again, just in case he missed it last time:



(UBB Master - Please fix the uploader to generate UBB code!!!)

Just a thought

Tell me if I'm wrong
the string

help = qq( );

should be

help = qq( );

(changed NONCGIURL to nonCGIURL)
because when it's NONCGIURL the link is made to a help.html file in the main dir on the webserver, but if I change the CAPS then it points to the ubb dir.

You are correct.
