I got this when I ran a test on my PrivateBoards.cgi, never got this script working!

Script Test Results
1 syntax error line 642, near ")
2 if"
3 syntax error line 651, near "elsif"
4 syntax error line 672, near "}"
5 Execution aborted due to compilation errors.

Got it working! Thanx Logix for that code!

Well, I replaced my code with the one that was just suggested and i still ge the same error. I don't get it.

Any ideas?

Did you change:

# check Forum Total option--
if ($thisforuminfo[0] eq "7") {

to the right number (Think it's the category number) as you were asked in the script!

I helped? Really? You're not just saying that? hehe.... No prob. I was jsut hopin' someone would be able to use the code.

Anyway to edit ubb_library2.pl so within the private forums the logo in a topic doesn't link to Ultimate.cgi and same with Forumdisplay.cgi

i edited PrivateBoards.cgi to remove the Ultimate.cgi and change it to PrivateBoards.cgi.

Any idea's??

Yeah, it can be done, PP-N. If I have some spare time, I'll run through the coding. I'll also work on the control panel addon for this.

I also done a little control pannel hack. Too lazy to actually make a seperate file so i just added one on to the General Settings at the end. Sets the Variable $PFN

which is Private Forum Number.

I am the lazy one

I could probably write it up if anyone wants it.

First, great hack..

Second, how about implementing these;

1. Allow it to look like a forum, instead of its own category link, in other words have it look like:

Forum 1
Forum 2
Forum 3
Forum 4 <-- the privateboards.cgi
Forum 5...

2. How about some security like check for axs privilages like a normal private forum would.

just some suggestions, that would make me eyes light up alittle.

Thanks for the code guys, I shoulda read this post before staring at the code for awhile to make it work. The instructions were missing the { after this step listed below, if you add the { to it, it fixes all the script error problems.


Find:

if ($Moderator eq "") {
$Moderator = " ";
}
# check Forum Total option--

below that add:

if ($thisforuminfo[0] eq "9") {


*note* - i added in the { on the last line for you guys, so if anyone was still unclear on what was causing the problem, then just add in the litte { and all is good my friends. Btw, i find this board very good and I'd like to thank everyone for their help with so many things, I've always been a reader and not a poster for some reason.

Was wondering where I could get this hack. Its no longer on the website posted in the starting post

I basically want an "extension" of the main UBB, but for one big category that will hold 50 forums on a seperate page.

IOW,

I want my regular ultimate.cgi stay the way it is (and NOT show the new forums I want to add to show on the second page) PLUS...

Create a NEW category in it and have it or a forum within it link (hard-code the link) to a new page with the new category and all it's forums listed on the new page. also...I need this to be PUBLIC so all members of the main UBB can use this "extension".

Possible?

Go
here .

If what I've asked above is possible, I plan to have the second page list about 50 forums.

Is there some code that would be make adding all these easier than manually entering the forum number in the code over and over?

Entering 50 forum number code additions in addition to entering the 50 new forums in the CP will be very tedious!

I can't believe I missed this post.

This is EXACTLY what I want, but I also need the link to let public users have access, and to have some easier code to install 50 forums to be shown on the other cgi.

I imagine the only thing else that needs to be done is hard-code the forum to link to the other cgi.

Can someone please help me out?

OK...

I've solved a couple things.

For the forum linking to the second board, I'll create the category and forum and make the forum non-writable to the membership, but link via HTML in the description area to the second board.

I'll forego the hb.gif and pb.gif stuff and put regular HTML links on the new board to link back.

Only one real question remains:

How can I get away from putting this code in over and over, and must the { be put in each and every instance, and must they all be closed with a } each and every time?

if ($thisforuminfo[0] ne "X") {

Jeez...

I feel dumb.

Reading the instructs (not good docs) made me assume i'd have to modify a few things.

This hack ROCKS!

I had to modify only a few things, and it works like a charm! Added 52 forums and it looks like they're taking off faster than i thought!
http://www.unitedconservatives.com/ubbcgi/Ultimate.cgi

Went there & it wasn't there - forum contents couldn't be found - it looked like some cyber monster just went on the rampage there!

... so where do I look next?

a.

Until someone posts it in the database, we're screwed. it isn't anywhere to be found.

I lost my copy in a crash.

Could someone PLEASE post this hack again?

Thank you InSite.

Did as instructed. Don't know if it because I choose to display categories only on first page, I get in a loop.

The idea of this is great.
The instructions suck.

I used this script to hide a couple forums from the main forums. so i did not include the link on the bottom of each pages.

I did get it working. My only problem is that when people view who is online using the online.cgi file. It reveals the location and name of the hidden forum. It also provides a link to the hidden forum. I was wondering if any one could write up a simple script to make those forums invisible.

The version of ubb i am running 5.47.

I am trying to hide a certain forum from the who is online list.

$where displays the persons location. What kind of code can I add in to make $where reflect something else? Also it is a link.. I don't want it to be a link.

help? anyone?!
