make sure you reinstalled the mod right? could be a goof.

WD, I have posted several times in this thread that we are using this script, we are (obviously) running 6.04e. I am running the same code you guys are, especially if you are using the template file I posted...

twice...

:rolleyes:

hey hey

alright, it took me awhile to post this, because i feel real stupid and amateur at hacking, but i have a question...

i followed all 3 sets of instructions on how to set this mod up, and when i viewed my page, i get this error:



alright, im pretty sure that its because i didn't edit my perl path...which brings up the stupid part of my problem and question:

what do i do to the perl path?



thats what the top of my ubbnews.cgi file looks like...i dont know what to change about it

i added a perl/bin/perl directory to my site, but nothing works...

i checked the pervious pages but i didnt see any problems like mine...which i probably over-read...

sorry for sounding like an idiot, but at least i had enough "courage" to post this

please help, as im a "newbie in distraught"

BTW, my board's a 6.04a

..::|-Peace-|::..

Hey,

I can't tell you what where perl is on your server but it will be the same path which you gave to your UBB when you set it up. Look in cp.cgi 1st line and it will tell u.

Usually #!/usr/bin/perl

reeeealllyyy....
:rolleyes:

thanks CTH...it works now

this hack is totally tight..heh

i appreciate the help, and thanks once again

..::|-Peace-|::..

For some reason even now i get this error in my test.php3 page

Warning: readfile("http://www.trigunforums.f2s.com/cgi-bin/ubbnews.cgi") - Success in /web/sites/130/trigunforums/www.trigunforums.f2s.com/test.php3 on line 14

It says Success so does that mean it is working? or what? it doesnt show anything just that. so i am thinking there are more errors.

hey hey

my board and my site isnt on the same server anymore, and i was curious how i could incorporate the SSI of the new settings

-----------
<!--#exec cgi="cgi-bin/ubbnews.cgi" -->
- To view specific forums via URL:
<!--#exec cgi="cgi-bin/ubbnews.cgi?forums=1" -->
------------

would i have to change that (on my site) to the link of my new board addy...

it would turn out to be:

------------
<!--#exec cgi="http://domain.com/cgi-bin/ubbnews.cgi" -->
- To view specific forums via URL:
<!--#exec cgi="http://domain.com/cgi-bin/ubbnews.cgi?forums=1" -->
--------------

or what would i have to change, if it's possible...

i saw some replies to this talking about <BASE HREF=---->, but i'm not too sure on if that has to do with this or not...

if it's not a big problem to anybody, i would totally appreciate a little help

thanks

..::|-Peace-|::..

You cant use ssi if your board is on a different server. I use php. Works very nicely. My board is on a subdomain and I pull the news onto the main domain in a php file.

Upped Dark Templar's zips to:

http://ubbdev.com/hacks/6/ubbnews.zip

ubbnews.cgi is now ubb_news.cgi, so pay attention when updating your files...

allen, u have both ubbnews.cgi and ubb_news.cgi in the zip. careless error maybe?

nice this is done i think look good now look at my site on mian page
thx every one that fix it

im totally not familiar with php..

is there any way to include the php feature in this mod, as im sure theres a few people who would love to do this also

..::|-Peace-|::..

Allen,

I did found instructions for upgrading from 1.0 and 1.1 any special instruction to upgrade from 1.2 ?

thanks in advance.

multi parted question...

saw this asked a few times in this thread, but never saw a (direct) answer.

is this hack available in a non-ssi form?

my bottom line: im looking for a hack that will display the 5 or 10 (for example) most recent active topics in a small table below the forum summary on ultimatebb.cgi. (again, without the use of ssi).

in v5's, this hack was developed by using a piece of the "slash bb" mod. any chance of an alternative revival?

Yes, most likely..:) I'll update the zip later today.

The only difference in these files, basically, was the addition of the base href to the actual cgi file to keep from having to do it on whatever page you have it SSI'd to.

Making the news.cgi file standalone is just a matter of adding $Header and $Footer in the appropriate places.

ok have any of you considered trying to add these features:

Be able to have different templates for different news sources

For some reason this hack doesn't work for forums over 9. It maybe a mistake on my part but I've heard other people have the same problem.

The different templates for different news sources would complete this hack for me. The reason I need this is because I have 6 websites that use the same UBB because it is a network. Each website has its own colors so I need different templates for each one. Do you guys know what I'm saying?

I get an internal server error...

http://www.puremadnezz.com/cgi-bin/ubbnews.cgi

don't use the ubbnews.cgi , it was an error in the zip file. Download this updated version of the UBB news...

http://ubbdev.com/hacks/6/ubbnews.zip

try using the ubb_news.cgi , it'll work .. I promise.

Yep! It worked. Thanks!!
