This hack had tons of issues and never really worked 100 percent. Anybody willing to take the plunge to see if this one works?

Well im no expert but maybe ill give it a try lol

Also if i post something here and say a file is missing and it does exist... its just my stupidity... ill check after im all done

##############################
# open public_move_topic.cgi #
##############################

First off i think it should be .pl and there are no instructions with it...

UBB_LIB.CGI
#########
#find : #
#########

if ($this_forum[6] =~ m/private/) {

################
# replace with #
################

if (($this_forum[6] =~ m/private/) || ($this_forum[6] =~ m/hidden/)) {

#find : #

# check to make sure user has access/permission to post!
if (($permission =~ m/private/) || ($reply_restrict =~ m/restrict/)) {

################
# replace with #
################

# check to make sure user has access/permission to post and is not going to see if forum exists (coz hidden)
if ($permission =~ m/hidden/) {
&check_private_access($in{f}, $this_forum[12], 'hidden');
}

# check to make sure user has access/permission to post!
if (($permission =~ m/private/) || ($reply_restrict =~ m/restrict/)) {
&check_private_access($in{f}, $this_forum[12]);
}

Shouldnt this be

#find : #
#########

# check to make sure user has access/permission to post!
if (($permission =~ m/private/) || ($reply_restrict =~ m/restrict/)) {
&check_private_access($in{f}, $this_forum[12]);
}

# check to make sure user has access/permission to post and is not going to see if forum exists (coz hidden)
if ($permission =~ m/hidden/) {
&check_private_access($in{f}, $this_forum[12], 'hidden');
}

# check to make sure user has access/permission to post!
if (($permission =~ m/private/) || ($reply_restrict =~ m/restrict/)) {
&check_private_access($in{f}, $this_forum[12]);
}

Found

Finally found this one lol

home/zophcom/public_html/cgi-bin/cp_forums.cgi: syntax error at /home/zophcom/public_html/cgi-bin/cp_forums.cgi line 1047, near "} else"

I get that when i try to see the forum settings in the CP

Never Mind... Rehacked it and everything seems to be working.. i made a mistake before.. I am now trying to see if hidden works properly

So far.. Works like a charm

Great Job sn0p and Great Job e@sy. I'm sure anyone can install this hack

Sorry, UBB has encountered an unexpected, fatal error. This error is extremely abnormal. Please contact the board administration. The error text is:

Can't open '/home/zophcom/public_html/ubb/cache-VVTCS2XN/ubb_files/forum_page/Forum21/private-9VZ7RP37/forum21-1000.cgi'.

I was unable to find that file or directory. Please check the paths.

The exact error returned by the operating system is:
No such file or directory

Uhoh Thats what i get when trying to access forum

OK fixed that.... forgot to rebuild forum stat files

Seems to be working again... and lol ive made all but 1 of the replies on this topic

I recieved that error again this morning... I rebuilt forums stat files and it appears to be working but I'm not totally sure for how long

This hack has never been error free that I know of. Search the 6.1 and 6.2 beta forums and you'll see the threads that had the problems that never seemed to go away.

Yah I know.. lol .. Also when i give someone permission to view the hidden forum they cant see it... it may have to do with the file that had no instructions for it...
