hmm, I don't think you understand what I mean, I mean that because I added the wordlets file to the MultiHack file I forgot to put that file in the ZIP file, not that I didn't want to shocked

tipsy

The multihack step for cp_wordlets.cgi needs to be adjusted, seems that the spacing in the base code is a bit different smile

Hi LK,

its a great hack

but my members complain about it

because the IM appear to them every time when they viewing my UBB

and they need to refresh the page to get rid of it

but in the last version of IM nobody complained

i think because you used javascript instead of ifram !!!!

im not expret in these things

can i have a solution

tiger - yes, that's why... if you wish, you can add the previous version again, then in ubb_checkmsg.cgi add:[code][/code]to somewhere in the beginning..

techno, I guess I could say that but because I've never used UBB 5.x I didn't know you made an IM hack tipsy

Since the Javascript is in the footer how long does it take for a user to get an IM that you've sent? Also, is there a setting where I can reset the refresh rate lower to say, 60 seconds?

In the IM instructions it states:

"FILES MODIFIED: public_common.pl, ubb_lib_files.cgi, ultimatebb.cgi,
cp_common.pl, cp_wordlets.cgi, ubb_lib.cgi, ultimatebb.php

Where are the modifications for - ubb_lib_files.cgi and ubb_lib.cgi?

In Modification Settings in CP, there is 'Who can send IMs?' in the instant message part.

After 2-3 days of trying, the hack works fine. Except of some members complaining that the same message pops up everytime when they open a page. I guess this is a fault of the browsers they may be using since I've been trying the hack with IE6 and haven't seen any problem.

The only thing I'd like this hack to have, is "radio buttons for members". This way there can't be much abuse. For mods and admins I'd like it to be as it is, in cases they need to send the same message to more than one member.

P.S. I couldn't download the addon mod for cp confused

I could be wrong but I think if the users clear their Temp Internet Files and Cookies they won't get repeated messages. laugh

Why are you unable to download the Addon Mod?

Even with the temp files cleared I have times where I get 10 or 20 of a particular message, and some of my members report the same thing.

Hmm...If that's the case then it's possible that it's an internal problem and not client error. I haven't experienced repeated messages fortunately. smile

I don't know, but I cannot open any page of multihack.com, seems I can't access that server, it automatically redirects me to auto.search.msn.com because the page cannot be displayed. Weird?

TheX, maybe browser problem? What version do you have?

(P.S. I'm still getting complaints from some users. I even told them to upgrade their browsers to IE6 SP1 LOL)

Hmm...I've been using Modaddon 1.0 which was made for UBB 6.2 for the past 3 upgraded versions (to 6.4). The instructions are in text. If you want that let me know.

Hmm...Seems that 1.0 is also the version for UBB 6.3. More than likely no change (or just minor changes) from 6.2 version. Well here is the Modaddon 6.3 version:

I have it happen in IE6 sp1 and Opera 7.x

My members also have it happen in different browsers so it would be difficult for it to be a browser issue.
