Yes. The cursor always starts on the second line.



Yep. Checked the filedate and it was the new one.

FileDate is probably not a good check. Open up cp_custom_status.cgi and see if you have the following three lines:



Thanks in advance!

Hey q, I got the same error message and I downloaded the files this afternoon... I didn't set any status except for the Custom Ranks and left the rest blank, which coulda been my mistake...

I know when clicking inside any of the text boxes, the cursor automatically goes to the second line.

Darn Pearl acting up again. It's a bug in Pearl that was only fixed in latter versions of Perl. If you can, please upgrade the Perl otherwise use the old backspace trick or fake data.

And a thought I found a workaround ....

This is the best hack man..Easy installation..as for me no mistake at all...Great job man

I installed the hack, edited, uploaded and chmodded everything, but when trying to access my Control Panel to input custom statuses and ranks, I got this error message:



Editing cp.cgi, and looking for this line 395...

if (($ubb eq 'get_profile_for_admin') && ($status eq 'Administrator')) {
require "$vars_config{CGIPath}/cp_users.cgi";
&get_profile_for_admin; exit;
} #end get_profile_for_admin

...the line in bold is line 395. Weirdly enough, it wasn't changed by the hack. What happened?

Re-hack cp.cgi and tell me what happens.

q

I've installed everything fine (I quess), I did the .SHW, and I also did it manually. When I want to Update the Custom Status/Rank Variables to create my vars_custom_status.cgi file, I get this error:


Unable to open vars_custom_status.cgi file for writing.
» Use your browser's back button to return.


What did I do wrong? I'm using UBB 6.04b
Please email help to renslohmann@hotmail.com . Thx!

You never pressed "Submit Variables" in the configuration area of Custom Status/Rank to generate that file. Do that and the file will be generated.

q

Well, I get that error when I press that button! I haven't created the vars_custom_status.cgi, when I try to (by pressing that button) I get this error I mentioned in my previous post!

That means you have a permissions problem.

New Version Release (0.0004).

See Release Notes on the first page to see what's new. To upgrade, upload the new, indicated files in the Install Doc. Then resubmit your Custom Status/Rank settings.

qasic

No complaints at all. Great hack. Thanks a lot!

Ultra newbie alert. What do I do with SHW??
Is it an easy way to install the mods?

Sorta. http://shw.coders-net.com/ for more details.

q

SHW made a world of difference! In fact it is a no-brainer. It works fine now, except for having to backspace before saving the ranks each time.

This hack has a conflict with that Star/Status hack I think.

I am a beginner at this, but both are named custom_status throughout. So i don't think both of these hacks can coexist unless someone goes through every line of code and changes it.

Please correct if i'm wrong, and i hope i'm wrong.

Virdus, my hack is NOT compatible with Dark Templar's hack.

q

dang

this custom status is so cool also.

Oh well, good work anyways quasic.

Just so you know this hack does not work on UBB6.04c. It will not create the vars_whatever file when you first go into the Custom Rank settings.
