Hi,

For those of u who are using it.

A quick and dirty (haven't tested only partial bits of it yet) port of this mod to ubb 6.4

Download: http://www.warmass.nl/ubbdev/ubbdb.zip

Demo: http://www.ubbdev.com/db/cgi/db.cgi

In it is both a db.63x and a db.64x
Rename the db.64x to db.cgi to use it.

Test it with care.

thank you I've been outta town for >1 week, will check it out when I get back home later this weekend

...and when can we expect the upload hack ported to 6.4???

thanks

Hi,

Been testing it over the last days, the only think i can find is that the top10 download is not correct.

For cat 1 it look at db.cgi, for cat two it looks at db1.cgi and so on.

Which should be, cat 1 is db1.cgi, cat 2 is db2 and so on.

I have a question on this... let's say I have my board on a server set up solely for CGI and I don't want a lot of space taken up from the files that people are going to upload. How would I go about changing the upload path to another server? Is this possible?

Thanks

I don't think you can do that, would depend on the security settings of the second server.

Seems to work fine twslex, thanks for the update

Some work still needs to be done here... there's lots of possibilities with this script.

I've got the same problem
In many php upload scripts, you can specify a login and username of a ftp server... is it possible to implement that on this script

It's possible, but probably outside the scope of this script. Possibly if someone else has done this, they can share

Glad to hear that it's possible. After months, I'm still trying to find a solution to this for the ubbdb and other upload script.

If anyone has any hints as to how I could go about doing this, I'd be greatly in debt to them.

bug in all versions:

&RequireCode("$vars_config{NonCGIPath}/Templates/public_common.cgi");

should be:

&RequireCode("$vars_config{NonCGIPath}/Templates/public_common.pl");

Here's the updated files for 6.5-6.6 :

Bits updated and 2-3 bugs fixed not noted from the beginning

Demo: http://www.ubbdev.com/ubbcgi/db.cgi

You'll need to be using a css file like we have here:

http://www.ubbdev.com/ubb/css/frost.css

Upload, set permissions to 755 for the ubbdb.cgi and lib.cgi files and 777 on everything else.

The funniest thing happened with this hack... as much as I played with it, I could never get the table to be anything but jet black... Couldn't see a thing.

Go figure....

did you use the css file like Allen said to?

Will this work with 6.7?

I wouldn't try it. Any modification that's semi standalone will return a whole lot of error

hmm, I'm not really building anything new till the release code is out for 6.7. I've been reducing the amount of hacks I install with each version. I want to do something new with the templates this time so I'll just wait for the hacks to catch up.

Here's the updated files for 6.7 :

few more bugfixes and code updates for 6.7 version

I wasn't sure where to reference the css. If I put it in the HTML inserts, I throw off the rest of the pages. Is there any way to not use it? I tried pulling all the CSS code out, which should have worked, but didn't seem to have an effect.

- MT

hmmm... I maybe re-doing it without css, as it's difficult to use like this without the base code being css'd and most sites don't use our css'd templates

That would be super. Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to assist you.

What's the status update on this?

You mean in the last 48 hours over a holiday in which I was (and am still) on-call?
