~Thanks m8 my mods been pestering me about this hehe~

Great Raiyan. Any changes from the pre-final in the Beta forum?

probably bug fixes, nice hack!

Yes actually. I had to do alot of changes, throughout. I suggest rehacking. All changes occur in the same places as previous betas of this hack.

Ok well I'll have to re-install it then.

Everything installed fine except that when I went to go to megamod settings it says "You do not have permission to access this area." I'm an admin I should be able to access it. Do you know where I might have gone wrong?

looks like you missed hacking cp.cgi or forgot to upload it.

I feel REALLY stupid, but I updated all the files as said in the install, and uploaded the additional files, but I can't find where I assign mega mods from. I looked all over the CP?

Also, what is the .mhx file in the ZIP?

Well the megamod menu should be in "Primary Settings" you may wanna run thru the code again cause maybe you missed something <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0" alt="" />

as for the .mhx file ,thats if you use the www.multihack.com to install your hacks.

Hello.

Great hack BTW, but i have one question.

In the mhx file, i`ll get one error.

Can`t find this somewhere in my file:

[code][/code]

I have also tried to search the file manual, but it isn`t there... <img src="frown.gif" border="0" alt="" />

Hope you can help.

cp_vars_misc.pl
lines 38-40 for me
<img src="biggrin.gif" border="0" alt="" />
good luck

Yes, it is in the primary settings in the cp_common.pl file(in your templates directory).

The directions there are:

Find:
document.writeln("<option value=$vars_config{CGIURL}/cp.cgi?ubb=vars_mod&r=$ran> - Moderator Settings</option>");

Add Below:

document.writeln("<option value=$vars_config{CGIURL}/cp.cgi?ubb=vars_megamod&r=$ran> - MegaModerator Settings</option>");


p.s. You guys need to go over EVERYTHING to install. You can't skip anything. It's all in the directions!!

Little problem.

I'm getting that every time I try to edit the MegaMod's rank in the CP. I'm using qasic's custom rank hack, and I'm running UBB 6.1.0.3. Any ideas? <img src="frown.gif" border="0" alt="" />

Rehack both hacks from known good backups.

OK, thanks. But I think I've found out where it is.

[code][/code]

I can't find any of that in either cp_forums.cgi or cp_lib.cgi (I had to look in both cause the instructions didn't make sense). Any other ideas, please? <img src="frown.gif" border="0" alt="" />

<font color="#000000" size="1">[ 01-19-2002 11:31 AM: Message edited by: CTM ]</font>

Post 24-hour bump.

I think the cp_forums.cgi business is sorted, but now I can't access any area in my CP. I always get the Non-Admin-Or-Mod message ("Only administrators or moderators may perform this action.").

Any help...?

Sorry about that. This is raiyan, i'm at work and don't have my password or ubb files here, so i'll answer to the best of my knowledge.

The code you posted is in cp_forums(near the bottom under sub mods), is to make sure megamods aren't set to mods when they are chosen to be shown in the mod lists. So that can't be the problem.

I believe your problem is in cp_users.cgi. Go back through that file and see if everything matchs up.

As soon as i get home later today, i'll check back.

By the way, what version are you using? If it's the ubb in your homepage link (6.04d), then i can't guarrentee that this hack will work on anything below 6.1.

<font color="#000000" size="1">[ 01-23-2002 12:44 PM: Message edited by: rictor ]</font>

Nope, i was wrong. It's in cp_lib.cgi under sub CheckPermission_CP.

Make sure you have this:

if (($profile[8] ne 'Administrator') && ($profile[8] ne 'Moderator') && ($profile[8] ne 'MegaModerator')) {
print qq%Content-type: text/htmlnn%;
&AppendAdminLog($username, $status, "Log In", "Failed", "User is NOT an Admin or Mod");
&StandardHTML("Sorry, you are not an administrator or moderator, so you may not gain access to the control panel.");
}

Under this:

if ($public_name eq "") {
$public_name = $profile[0];
}

and above this:


#return status
&AppendAdminLog($username, $status, "Log In", "Succeeded", "User is a $profile[8]");

Again, this won't work on versions in the 6.0.x series.

you cant download this hack when you click on the link?

iVegeta is down due to late server payment so it will be back soon.

Sorry about that. The sites back up. <img src="smile.gif" border="0" alt="" />

I am so stupid im sorry i found it out my self

~Speedy~

Does anyone have or think they could make a MultiHack for Mega Mod 2.0 for UBB 6.1.X ? and for MultiHack 2.1 . If so that would be great because I am haveing mager problems with my UBB and that would just kick ass!

It's OK, raiyan, I've just got 6.1.0.3 and I'm reinstalling all the hacks afresh, cause there's a few problems with my board ATM. I'll just try what you've said, thanks for the help, and I just hope it works!

I used the MultiHack in the zip and it showed no errors (installing it) but when i go into the CP its says

You do not have permission to access this area.

but im member # 1 and well i have all the power! how do i fix this please help asap becuase i dont wanna continue hacking untill i fix this problem thankx!

~Speedy~

Sounds like something missed on cp.cgi, recheck that one on the manual txt file. It's at the very top of the manual.

Thankx I will try that when I get home (at school) but there is one more thing . . . how hard would it be to change Mega Mod to Speedy Mod? Is this posible (like on vb's) it's just a name changed not a hack change . . . please help asap thannkx!

~Speedy~

Speedy, it's in the CP, the first time it says 'MegaModerator:'

In Modification Wordlet™ List, make 'auth_megamod' 'Super Moderator' or whatever you said.

Thanks A Million! . . . . I will try this out as soon as I get home (im in tech) I just hope this works . . . I did have a problem with the CP entance as i said but Im going to re hack my whole board tonight! Wish Me Luck . . . ! :rolleyes:



~Speedy~

P.S. I know this doesnt go here but maybe it does is there anywhere I could get a multihack for megamod, I have both multihack 2.1 and the 1.5 (i think) but im not sure if its good to hack some hacks with 2.1 and others with 1.5 but is this ok? or can you make me a megamod 2.0 for multihack 2.1 PLEASE or tell me a link, or tell me if its ok to do the above thanks a million (im tpying fast so sorry about typos. . . I got Engish next . . . (acting out the death of Tyblete (me being him so I get to die!) fun fun . . .

Thanks Again

~Speedy~

I installed this hack manually and it worked a dream . Then when i done it for the Authority List it wouldn't appear , Its all hacked ok and its in the Wordlets fine. I talked to raiyon on AIM about it and he wasn't to sure :rolleyes: anyone on here have any ideas ? , thanx

Just give it an hour or two and try again as loads of websites go like that

The Bandwidth is always (the whole day today) exceeded or the page is unreachable. Please be someone so kind and send me the hack.

Thanx a lot for the help. I d/l´ed it and now I´m goin´ to kill my UBB

The 1st, Argh. Are you switching servers raiyan?

No, we just exceeded the bandwidth (surprisingly). plain and simple. I learned from this and won't let it happen again.

Isn't it because we got so much more visitors and posts in the last month or so?

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm using UBB 6.04 and I cannot find:

if (($ubb eq 'vars_mod') && ($status eq 'Administrator')) {
&view_vars("mods");
exit(0);
} #end vars_mod

in cp.cgi. This may be because of the other hacks I've done, but I rather doubt it... Is there another megamod hack that definitely works with 6.04 or what can I do about this problem? Thank you.

:edit: Oops. I just realized I've been looking in the wrong forum. Nevermind! ^^;;

It's because this MegaMod if for 6.1, not 6.04.

You can name me mad, but I tried to patch the UBB 6.2.1 with the Mega-Moderator-Hack.

I found everything and patched it. Besides only one thing

Sorry. Forget it. I saw that there is already a Hack for the 6.2.0 (v2.1)
