Hey Mastermind,
Am I able to go in and compare your new version with my current (already modified with the previous version) files? Or do I need to remove the one I put in first?
Sal,
You can compare. Nothing in the old version changed, i just added.

I had tweak the code a bit because the links for the profile, registration, and search after installing this tweak didn't work. But, I do see the improvement in loading, thanks MM!

Absolutely Wonderful! Works like a charm... Sped up the forum considerably. I can't wait for the Postings.cgi and Forumdisplay mod. Keep up the good work Mastermind.

I think we have a bug here, or it's in the GetUserNumber speed up.
The daily topics doesn't display anything now.
OK....
The bug is definitely in the threadload speed up and NOT in the getusernumber speed-up.
I took out the new additional "tweak" code,
(everything BELOW "my ($UN, $PW) = @_;" EXCEPT: "my ($RowColor, $FieldName, $Notes, $InputField, $Cols, $Rows) = @_;")put back the old code, and reupped and updated threads. The Daily Topics are now showing up as they are being posted or replied to.
I noticed this code isn't in the latest version:
*********************************
find:
sub ConvertForums2HTML {
my($ForumNumber) = shift;
my($ForumTotal) = shift;
my($StartWith) = shift;
replace that with:
sub ConvertForums2HTML {
my ($ForumNumber, $ForumTotal, $StartWith) = @_;
**************************
Why has that been removed?

My daily topics work fine...

I was having similar problem with "Latest Posts SSI" as it removed all the topics.
I have reverted back to the pre-code.

Would it be advisible to change:
my($ForumNumber) = shift;
my($ForumTotal) = shift;
my($StartWith) = shift;
to
my ($ForumNumber, $ForumTotal, $StartWith)= @_;
this occurs at the top of the ubblibrary_2 file.
Thanks,
Parker
Yes. Thats not in their already?

No it isn't MM. It was before you changed some stuff.
It's also missing this code to fix some links:
my $RegLinkHere = ($DisplayRegistration eq 'NO') ? '' : qq(
profile |
register | );
MM:
Like NB said it is not but I was wondering if the code that I used is what I want to use in this case.
Thanks,
Parker
You can use that code.

Yeah there were some left out that could've been changed. I changed them and saw a slight boost in loading. Hey, better than nothing. I'm using 5.44 so it might have been different.

I tried again to install this... Just to double check myself and it is a problem with "Latest Posts SSI" as it removes all the topics or I should say effect it from inserting via SSI.

This mod made the "Today's Active Posts" function screw up. You get a page that says "Displaying Topics 1 - 40 (69 total)" but nothing is actually displayed.
Sparky:
Read up a few lines for a post about a fix for this by NBAustin.
Parker
Ok, I added this mod and one other speed-up mod. Now, My "New Topics Posted Today" displays nothing. These are the only two mods I have installed recently and everything was fine until now.
I have read above but do not seem to see any fix for this even though someone referenced one.
This mod is at fault for your problem. Please bare with us.

Yeah I'm having the same problem with the Today's Active Topics not showing any at all. Good thing my members don't use this function.
Update: UBBDev seems to have their active topics working.

NBAustion...
Can you please post specifically what you changed back to get the "Today's Threads" to display.
Thank you.
Hi NBAAustin,
I hope I understand your fix.
You suggest to take out "the new additional "tweak" code,(everything BELOW "my ($UN, $PW) = @_;" EXCEPT: "my ($RowColor, $FieldName, $Notes, $InputField, $Cols, $Rows) = @_;") and put back the old code.
Looking at the MM's instructions,
************
my ($UN, $PW) = @_;
find:
my $UpdateTitle = shift;
my $UpdateWording = shift;
replace with:
my ($UpdateTitle, $UpdateWording) = @_;
find:
my $FieldName = shift;
my $Notes = shift;
my $VarName = shift;
my $RowColor = shift;
my $colspan = shift;
replace with:
my ($FieldName, $Notes, $VarName, $RowColor, $colspan) = @_;
find:
my $RowColor = shift;
my $FieldName = shift;
my $Notes = shift;
my $InputField = shift;
my $Cols = shift;
my $Rows = shift;
replace with:
my ($RowColor, $FieldName, $Notes, $InputField, $Cols, $Rows) = @_;
****************
Does your fix mean below?
*** put back:
my $UpdateTitle = shift;
my $UpdateWording = shift;
*** for:
my ($UpdateTitle, $UpdateWording) = @_;
*** Put back:
my $RowColor = shift;
my $FieldName = shift;
my $Notes = shift;
my $InputField = shift;
my $Cols = shift;
my $Rows = shift;
*** for:
my ($RowColor, $FieldName, $Notes, $InputField, $Cols, $Rows) = @_;
Thanks,
Errol

This may be the problem:
Instead of $forumnumr it should be $forumnum
Same with:
Again $forumnumr has that 'r' at the end that shouldn't be there.
How could I have missed this? Thanks kev2me, just solved another problem on my board. MM, you'd better update that document to fix this.
------------------
The Fusion of Goku & Trunks...GoTorankusuKu
Yep! It was the mispell that was killing the daily topics.
Removed the "r" and the daily topics work just fine.
Thanks,
Errol
LOL!
I missed it too!
Thanks for the fix!
Thread loading really flies now!
MM,
Making any headway on some postings.cgi speedups?
This message has been edited by NBAustin on November 28, 2000 at 10:28 PM
Ok, since MM seems to be a busy person (who else speeds things up for us
) i went ahead and re-doc'd the file.. and fixed the misspelling mistake and added NB's reglinks here. I dont know where to put some of the others so ill leave those for MM when he gets the time to update the txt file...
Also, i did what i could to make it easier to read for newbies and those who arent very programming savvy.
http://209.15.32.41/download/thread.zip (2kb) 1 file (txt, 6kb unzipped)
Before i forget.. how much will this affect the speed of loading a cgi private forum over an html forum??
Well, got this installed no problems so far. Great hack MM
I'm wondering if this hack would cause random 500 errors to appear. It seemed to work on my UBB on one unix server, but then I switched to an Apache unix server and things went haywire.
The error appeared when you tried to access the forumdisplay.cgi file
Did you forget to chmod forumdisplay.cgi to 755?
------------------
The Fusion of Goku & Trunks...GoTorankusuKu
No... It was working fine, but every once in awhile a 500 error would appear, all you had to do was presh refresh and it'd work again. That is until it eventually just always gave 500 errors, chmoded itself 0, and then made a 1 megabyte core file or something. I have no idea how it did that.
oooook. Havent run across that problem myself... Im running my board on a linux apache setup, probably a shared cobalt machine *shrug* and havnet had any problems yet. Does it give any info in the error logs?
------------------
Ideas in motion remain in motion
Vertigo, it just wont stop
LA out
"Premature end of script headers" was all it gave me. I've figured that the problem was probably just my virtual server limiting my account on cpu usage. That's the only explination I can think of.
Well, no matter now. They made me buy a dedicated server since my UBB was taking up all the resources
testing here... converted quite a few more of the * = shift; codes found in there as well... we'll see...

Someone mention cobalt?
Do the Infopop/UBB folks plan on including this hack into 6.0? Or maybe it's in 5.47b already?
UBB 6.0 is a complete rewrite, so I doubt they are.

ok i got this going and everything was great until i went to general settings and at the bottom when i click submit i get this error-
Sorry! Your General Settings were not accepted
Here is what UBB found:
Did you upload all the NonCGI files to /www/katiehaugland/ubb ?
Be sure your FTP software did not convert the .html extensions to .htm
Try this: Upload all the files again with the correct .html extension.
Really werid huh- well I went through and uninstalled this hack step by step and im still getting it- what could be causing this? Its either from a different hack or i didnt uninstall this one right- Any ideas?
I am also looking for this hack as well..can you post a valid addy for it...
SomeBody pleese post this zip again for me
PM MasterMind, he is probably the only one who has the hacks or try finding it at SpAwN's database.
Back on page 2 I think there is a link to a file called thread.zip, I just downloaded that, link is fine.
Lord Dexter,
Is Spawn's site back up yet? Could not find it at the old link...
Yes it is back up, but only the mods section.
URL:
Here
Oh man! That's great!
I hope he keeps it up and running again...
Couple questions.
Is Lord Apocalypse's rewrite now correct?
Also, will this help speed up version 5.47e?
Lastly, some people were mentioning other mods (posting.cgi, forum.cgi) to files that will help speed boards. Are any of them finished? If so where?
