and where would you suggest I look...

hmm, got a colspan problem in there related to pntf. quick fix would be to 'undock' the pntf until you can figure out the location for that particular table

anybody know if this works for 6.6?

It worked for me in our ezine forum here, even up to 6.7 I believe. You might need to adjust it here and there for it to fit, but it works

Thats great to hear. I will install it later tonight.

I see Tim got this working on 6.6.. Can anyone confirm this works on 6.7.1 before I go hacking away?

I've got it working on 6.7.1, but I can't remember if I changed anything.

I already got it working on 6.6 as well.

Hmm...

Can't locate /cgi/vars_rate.cgi at cgiultimatebb.cgi line 129.

I didn't seem to get this file on an export as I can't find it...

I tried to do a text export of this hack with multihack and it deleted not only my original files, but a directory where I've been keeping copies of every modified file in seperate directories for each hack, plus another directory where I have been a copy of what's on the server every time I add a hack. I don't know or understand how the **F** that happened, even when I made sure I had it set not to delete the output directory. The unfortunate thing now is that I have absolutely no backup copies of my original files and I don't know whether to cry or punch a whole in the wall. One thing is for sure, I will **never** use multihack on the same computer where I personally modify my own files again! Argh...

Can someone help me please before I decide to walk off the end of my fire escape?

Thanks again...

vars_rate.cgi? I've got no clue, I didn't have it and mine works fine

Argh... I've got no backup files... Multihack deleted everything in three different directories... Please don't tell me I have to start over...

Do I need to rename ubb_rate_topic.cgi?

This is why you always keep a backup copy of the zip.

*walks off quietly*

Ian, you're a bad bad man...

'Eh, I had copies of everything in two different locations, plus a seperate location for files specifically modified in each hack. Thanks to Multihack I have nothing. Even if I had a zipped copy, I'm sure multihack would have had it's way with it too. So to say I took precautions in making backups would be an understatement. Fortunately, I found I do have a deleted copy of my directories about one hack back I can restore.

However, if you review the hack. for public_topic_page.pl, it says find

$print_topic_wording
</font>

and replace with

<for m action="$vars_config{CGIURL}/ultimatebb.cgi" method="post">
<b>$vars_wordlets_rate{rate_topic} </b><select name="rate_select">
<option value="0">$vars_wordlets_mods{rate_it}</option>
<option value="5">$vars_wordlets_mods{rate_5}</option>
<option value="4">$vars_wordlets_mods{rate_4}</option>
<option value="3">$vars_wordlets_mods{rate_3}</option>
<option value="2">$vars_wordlets_mods{rate_2}</option>
<option value="1">$vars_wordlets_mods{rate_1}</option>
</select>
<input type="hidden" name="ubb" value="rate_topic" />
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="$forum_number" />
<input type="hidden" name="threadname" value="$topic_number" />
<input type="submit" value="$vars_wordlets{click_go}" />
</for m>

However, the only reference I can find to what I'm supposed to be looking for is

my $print_topic_wording = ($vars_display{PrintTopic} ne "no"
? qq(<a href="$ULTIMATEBB{"ubb=print_topic;f=$in{f};t=$topic_number"}"><img src="$vars_config{NonCGIURL}/$vars_style{print_topic_icon}" border="0" alt=" - " title="" /> $vars_wordlets{print_topic_leader}</a>)
: "" );

Are you sure you don't have to do anything special for 6.7.1?

look harder, towards the bottom

The reference is there. I found what you posted there and what I was supposed to find as well. Instead of replacing I added below. Just so you know.

OK, I just restored everything to about where I had it and tried again. Exact same error...

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

Can't locate /cgi/vars_rate.cgi at cgiultimatebb.cgi line 129.


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.

It seems I am getting the same errors as Multihack...

There was another post on another older thread with the same error message as me on an older version. It's here:

Any other possibilities? I do have several other hacks installed.. Maybe there is a conflict?

Gator, remove "rate" from the line beginning

around line 140 of ultimatebb.cgi

Good gravy man, you are a friggin' genius!

I can only hope this will help others who may have the same problem.

Thanks again for your help and patience.
