Is there a chunk of code missing with cp_lib.cgi..?
I ask because your instructions tell me to open cp_forums.cgi, replace 2 codes and then close cp_lib.cgi and not cp_forums.cgi. Is there code missing or is it a basic typo?

Thanks,
Oblivion Knight

I also recieved this error when I'd finished hacking the files and tried accessing cp.cgi

There was a compilation error while loading the UBB.classic libraries and data files:

syntax error at ubb_lib.cgi line 1409, near ") ||"
syntax error at ubb_lib.cgi line 1425, near "} else"
Compilation failed in require at /home/liberifa/public_html/umbrella/cgi-bin2/cp.cgi line 113.

Please make sure that you uploaded the CGI and Variables files to the proper directory, permissions are set properly on the files, and that paths in the control panel are set correctly.

Sorry, there isn't. Previous versions called for cp_lib.cgi to be modified but now it doesn't need it.

That error doesn't seem to be with this hack. That error is looking for something with the or '||' syntax. Could you display the lines in and around lines 1409 and 1425 in cp.cgi?

Good to see it ported. I will test it for you later.

Error is found...

$Moderator = $$Moderator;

Should be...

$Moderator = $Moderator;

I re-hacked and everything worked fine with a couple of slight modifications. LD, the typo you mentioned isn't a typo, I left it there when I re-hacked and all is working peachy..

Brett, here's a couple of bug fixes for you:

In ubb_lib_secgroups.cgi:

return 1 if $self->{PRIMARY_GROUP} =~ m/^(administrators|megamoderators)$/);

SHOULD BE:

return 1 if $self->{PRIMARY_GROUP} =~ m/^(administrators|megamoderators)$/;

In cp_common.pl:

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

SHOULD BE:

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

In ubb_lib.cgi
You are asked to find this

unless (($profile[8] eq 'Administrator')) {

WHICH SHOULD BE:

unless ($profile[8] eq 'Administrator') {

ack friggin spelling errors! Thanks oblivion knight! So everything works the way it should?

Zip file updated to current fixes.

Yes everything is working ok..

I even got a cp patch done for you..
http://www.liberifatali.com/umbrella/ubbhacks/mmcpadd.txt

Feel free to add it to the readme

Almost forgot about that. I rebuffed the 6.2 version of the cp patch with oblivion knights fix.

Right now, i'll make patches to other hacks that may affect this that are currently in the 6.3 beta board.

Glad to hear it's working. Now I can install it.

Hmm...

supposed to be:

[code][/code](without quotes)?

Just wondering.. Apart from that, works fine on my board, thanks for porting, brett

Yes it's supposed to have quotes. Everything that has a $vars_something{something} needs quotes.

Hmm.. OK.. Just wondered, cause I couldn't find the version with quotes in ubb_lib.cgi

LD, are you sure? I don't think so

CTM, you're right....

Edit: mmcpadd: [code][/code]Does it make sense that Moderators can change forum settings but megamods can't? I think MegaMods should be able to change both General and Forum settings.

You can read me too well LK.

Since when were normal mods allowed CP access?

They always could, they can access Prune and Forum Settings - and choose only their forums.

It's also a good thing if your mods can access IP bans when your not around to ban those troublemakers.
