I just wanted to asy that I have the same problem with the multipages ...

I'm using UBB v6.01

It's working fine for me as well. I am on 6.02

Guys DOUBLECHECK you are using the code from Allen's first post in this thread, it DOES work!

hm, Slurpee ... strange. I've installed it, i think, 5 times, and yes i took the file from Allens first post. It doesn't work for many people.

Ok guys, now we know why it doesn't show the correct pages: The script doesn't hop into this query:

if ($total_pages > 1) {
$page_num = "&p=$total_pages";
}

Don't ask me why! The funny thing is, $total_pages equals sometimes more than 1, but the loop gets not executed. I checked it out with a simple print "$total_pagesn"; - it does not show any values. When I set the print-command above the if-block, it prints out the correct number of pages. It seems that anything isn't ok with the if-block. But what? I don't see any wrong things in it ...

Ok, I think I have it. In Allen's version, the if-block I writed I my last posting is out of the if ($total_posts > $vars_display{HTMLDisplayMax}) { ... }. And that's the cause of our problems. $total_pages is defined with a my-definition, so out of the if ($total_posts > $vars_display{HTMLDisplayMax}) { ... }-thing $total_pages = 0! There are 2 ways to fix the problem: 1st Delete the my out of the my $total_pages = int ($total_posts / $vars_display{HTMLDisplayMax}); or 2nd set the if ($total_pages > 1) { ... }-block into the if ($total_posts > $vars_display{HTMLDisplayMax}) { ... }-thing.

I used the 2nd way, so my code in ubb_forum.cgi is:

Can anyone else verify this?

q

it's better than that. You don't need this line at all:



because, if the number of posts is greater than the max allowed per page, there is GOING to be more than one page.

I removed it a while back and moved the page number code into the main if block. It's been working like a charm.

Ok, that exactly must i change, so it will work correct.

Thanks, amy! Can you post exactly what the new snippet of code looks like so we don't err on making the changes?

please... added back here does show the error...

I commented out all three lines, amy, (the if statement and opening and closing braces) and the behaviour does not change.

Any other ideas? Perhaps a fix to the source code, so that I can re-download it? Or even better a quick "how to upgrade" doc.

ahhh, I used roodah's change and it fixed it here... I'll document it and post here this evening when I have it uploaded again.

For those with it already installed, change this section in ubb_forum.cgi to this:

Yeah Allen, thanks for making me look bad.

OK, file linked to on front page has been updated, plus it is now using the vars_wordlets_mods.cgi most of you already have, if you don't, then check DPK's Mod for it, as we are working towards standardizing the wordlets files for modifications added.

Slurpee:

Hi, I just updated my UBB to 6.02 and went back and installed sevral of the hacks I collected including yours. I've ran into a problem; in private forums, when you click Show Topics from last 45 days, or higher, it brings up

This may not have been due to your hack, I currently have 6 hacks installed:
Anchor, last reply, News Fader, Custom Rank, and MODs Wordlets.cgi
Any Suggestions?

Hey Paul, not sure where your problem may be, but it isn't affecting us here (I just checked) - right now, we only have who's online and this one installed.

Nope just checked my forum, no private forum problem like that.

Could this be a CHMOD problem? I've tried reinstalling the hacks using a fresh upgrade zip.

I guess I'll just reinstall the whole board then try each hack one at a time.

Thank you Allen, that did the trick. Whew.
