Sorry, What does this hack do? Just asking...

It adds support to %vars_wordlets_mods (the modifications' Wordlets™)

Is a devkit version of that hack planned?

The current one is only for the Who's Online Hack and if I want to modify it I'd need to alter your code.

And what 'bout the automatic install? I don't like that, it should be possible to get rid of that if wished.
In ultimatebb_mod_wordlets_install.cgi in line 191 it says "UBB 6.1 not deleted." but I think U mean detected.
What happens if there is already a vars_wordlets_mods.cgi with values of former hacks in it?

Why don't you use the current "use vars" command in ultimatebb.cgi? Instead you create a new one.

Just improvement suggestions

Pretty easy to do. Just find the WOL wordlets, delete them and add your own. I don't plan on making the devkit but you're more than welcome to based upon my files (or Jordo's for that matter).



There are manual instructions inside the ReadMe too.





It gets overwritted. Later versions will allow you to specify whether you want us to overwrite it or not.



Just in case the beta cycle messes with thos variables.

What I miss is the support for a prepared vars_wordlets_mods.cgi file and for other files with different languages which I call vars_wordlets_mods_de.cgi or vars_wordlets_mods_it.cgi

The solution in the former devkit (STEP 1, STEP 2, ...) was sufficient but the current one isn't for developers it is a wordlet installation tool for the Who's Online Hack and nearly useless for other hacks.

But I think they will change the "use UBBCGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser set_message);" as well.

no...

A copy of Qasics new version of the mod can also be obtained at:

My file has been updated as well (same as DPK's). This version checks to see if there already exists a vars_wordlets_mods.cgi and will not overwrite it if such a file exists.

i have failed to get the "Modification Wordlets v1.0" to work right on the release of the 6.1.0 b2 any suggestions?

Yes I'm quite surprised that nobody has bothered to update the default mod_worldlets install file. However I suggest you download 'Whos Online' for v6.1 as it has a more up-to-date version, although I've had problems with that one as well.

yes ive installed that and it works, but you can not see the *mods in the cp for some reason. as well the who is does not work in the php, hope its ported over soon. its like damn you can jhust do an

include("/www/jpdatabase/cgi-bin/ubb/ultiomatebb.cgi?whosonline");

I wish but the php can not ex. a cgi command, ive tried and nothings worked.

I don't have that line on cp.cgi......
&RequireVars("$vars_config{VariablesPath}/vars_wordlets_date.cgi");

Hi all,

1) Use the wordlets in the Who's Online - it's updated for Beta 1.2.

2) mark99, you state that you have trouble getting the Modification Wordlets in your control panel. Please e-mail me your cp.cgi file so I may take a look at it. Thank you.

Small bug for wordlets in the Who's Online:

Mod_Wordlets_ReadMe.txt

wordlets_cp wordlets_err wordlets_mod

it should read

wordlets_cp wordlets_err wordlets_mods

Ihave the same problem as CLICK

that line does not exist in a fresh install of version 6.1.0.2

Me too

I don't have that line on cp.cgi......
&RequireVars("$vars_config{VariablesPath}/vars_wordlets_date.cgi");[/b]<hr></blockquote>


That looks like something out of the earilest betas of 6.1. It's not up to date. What you should do in cp.cgi is this:

# find:

wordlets_cp wordlets_err

# replace with:

wordlets_cp wordlets_err wordlets_mods

Ah...Got it finally working 100%... If anyone wants this manually hand-added hack that works, you can get it here: Modification Wordlets for 6.1.0.2+ Qasic, you can have this debugged hack for your page if you'd like so it will be updated for people to use.

I take absolutely no credit for the making of this great hack..All I did to make it work was change where a line of code goes in ultimatebb.cgi, add a missing "s" in a line of code in cp.cgi, corrected a line of code in vars_wordlets_mods.cgi to be compliant with the new code, and updated the readme text file for installation of this mod.. I also included the vars_wordlets_mods.cgi file that needs no editing on initial installation. This should now take care of the cp problem where the wordlet listings were not showing. Again, this hack should now be 100% working and hopefully no longer a modification in beta.

If there are any problems, please give feedback here.. Thanks, torn..
