To inform you it works

Hello,
I have looked for the template "public_topic_page.pl" and am not able to find this? Does it get generated by the board a tsome point, or could it be named something different?

I have even looked through the zip file and nothing...

Look in the "Templates" directory

works perfect

Hi, I'm having problems.
I really don't know much about CGI scripting so I probably sound dumb, but it doesn't show up. Am I supposed to have the pictures saved somewhere?
I triple checked the text and it seems fine, I am not getting any errors, but the ICQ/AIM signs don't show up.

1. Are the links showing up at least? Broken is fine, that's a good thing!

You will want to make sure you have the graphic images in the ubb image diretory. Not sure how yer icq is setup, but the image on mine is dependant on the icq server. Goto mine and right click on the image and check out the properties.

Hope this helps, Im not the most technical, so I hope the instructions are clear enough.

SSJPrince:
Did you clear the cache (in control panel)?

I had to remove this line from the hack code It was showing two ICQ icons I guess it has to do with the way your Icq is set up

##<img src="$vars_config{NonCGIURL}/icq.gif" border=0>##

icq.gif =

This hack was originally for UBB 6.0 Beta #1

Ok...
I found a typo in the script, it says http://wwp.mirabilis.com/$this_icq instead of http://www.mirabilis.com/$this_icq .
I changed that, uploaded the two images, and the AIM part works flawlessly.
The ICQ part however is screwed up, instead of he flower image it gives me out the following html code:
and then the ICQ image.
I have no idea whatsoever why it happens. I tried fixing it and it nothing works.
Any help?

ok I fixed it
you should add:

chomp ($this_icq);

then it works, at least for me.

Its not a typo. http://wwp.mirabilis.com/$this_icq is correct.

That's weird.
Well it works with www too.
I decided to go back to v5 though, much more hacks available, and it is a finall version.

You forgot to add the PM icon to the row of icons. The new final line should look like this:

I noticed that as well, although I thought it was something I had done wrong, so I corrected it. I still have a problem with the AIM field though...

I get the following URL (404) when clicking on the AIM logo by someone's post...

aim:goim?screenname=whoever&message=Hi.+Are+you+there?

Is this because I don't have AIM installed... Because I would think there would at least be a default page for those who don't if this is the case.

You have to have aim for it to work
Thats why you only get the icon if you have it listed in profile.....

Ah I see! Many thanks.

Thanks a lot, this is working perfectly on my board, 6.0 Beta 7.9!

This ran great on beta 8.0. Beta 8.1 is another story. I can't seem to get it to work at all. Has anyone tried on this new beta yet??
