AllenAyres I type Like navaho Registered: 03/10/00 Posts: 25452 Loc: Texas	and the upgrade.cgi file question: in general, is it ok to just add those variables to the use vars statement in ultimatebb.cgi? I understand that wouldn't work for those files (like the upgrade) that aren't integrated into ubb, but for those that are ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=calendar or something, putting them in ultimatebb.cgi instead of ubb_profile should be ok, eh? I believe there were a couple places in the instructions that needed to be updated too, but I may be confusing that with the page views mod _________________________ - Allen - What Drives You?

Ian Spence Master Hacker Registered: 01/25/03 Posts: 3765 Loc: Saint Johns, PA	This is how I understand it... If the file requires ubb_lib.cgi, but is not part of ?ubb=**, it needs the vars lines. If it doesn't require ubb_lib, or is part of ?ubb=**, then it does not. _________________________ Code monkey like Fritos

In the ultimatebb.cgi -

Instead of:

Code:

Find:
=====

if ($ubb eq '') {
	&RequireCode("$vars_config{CGIPath}/ubb_forum_summary.cgi");
	&forum_summary;
	exit(0);
}

Add below:
==========

if ($ubb eq 'calendar') {
	&RequireCode("$vars_config{CGIPath}/ubb_lib_calendar.cgi");
	&calendar_main;
	exit(0);
}    #end calendar

Shouldn't it be:

Code:

Find:
=====

if ($ubb eq '') {
	if(defined $vars_display{UseForumAsFsum}) {
		$ubb = "forum";
		$in{f} = $vars_display{UseForumAsFsum};
	} else {
		&RequireCode("$vars_config{CGIPath}/ubb_forum_summary.cgi");
		&forum_summary;
		exit(0);
	} # end if
} # end if 

Add below:
==========

if ($ubb eq 'calendar') {
	&RequireCode("$vars_config{CGIPath}/ubb_lib_calendar.cgi");
	&calendar_main;
	exit(0);
}    #end calendar

At least for 6.7?

If you got Calendar a long time ago, make sure the ubb_profile portion is:

Code:

	# add birthday data to calendar 
	use vars qw(%vars_calendar $poster_name);
	&RequireVars("$vars_config{VariablesPath}/vars_calendar.cgi");
	if (($vars_calendar{use_name} eq 'login') &#0124;&#0124; ($public_name eq '')) {
		$poster_name = $user_profile[0];
	} else {
		$poster_name = $public_name;
	}
	&GetDateTime;
	my $julian_bday = &jday($in{bday_month},$in{bday_day},$in{bday_year});
	&RequireCode("$vars_config{CGIPath}/ubb_lib_calendar.cgi");
	if ($in{bday_public} eq 'yes') {
		&do_add_event_birthday($poster_name,$julian_bday,$in{u});
	}

I'm beginning to think I'm completely jinxed doing this new upgrade. I tried installing this hack to my UBB 6.7.0 test site two different ways. I first tried to use the instructions to create a multi-hack file--mostly because I like them for when I do future upgrades, etc. I got the same kind of error that d-talk has listed above. So then I hacked it the old-fashion way--trying to find the snippets of code and either add or replace as instructed. I get an error message similar to d-talks's above. I went through this thread, and I tried to follow along with the "fixes"--because I'm not sure if LK implemented them or not ... I still get that error message. My previous test-site was a 6.5 board ... so I don't know if I'm supposed to use the "upgrade" file or not--but I tried it--and even that gives me a whole bunch of errors. Like so many of the other mods I have at my current site, the calendar is vital to my community. Any in trying to figure out why I'm getting these bug issues would be most appreciated. Remember, too, that I know very little about the inner workings of these files, so the K.I.S.S. would be most appreciated! _________________________ Sue adwoff.com

framer2 Junior Member Registered: 02/27/04 Posts: 6	LK, I want to thank you for a great mod. I studied it for a couple of days and decided to give it a try at 10pm last night. By Midnight it was working but I when I went to update the client stats it stumbled. After reviewing the file in question "I forgot a comma,,,," They'll get you every time. Works perfect as of 1:30 am hope to check it out more over the next couple of evenings before I leave the files in place for the masses to digest. The instuctions were very clear and they worked fine with a stock 6.7 version. Thanks again for your work on this project. Bill

Eric Flyxe Member Registered: 05/03/01 Posts: 57	Is it possible to use this without showing birthdays, and only events? And maybe showing, say the first 10 letters of the event in the calender view? So that the users don�t have to click and go into "day view" to see the event? In that case, this could be really useful on my board. Intend to use it for showing our employees what meetings, courses and labs we arrange for them...

ADWOFF Content Queen Registered: 05/07/01 Posts: 709 Loc: Pennsylvania	Okay, I tried again to rehack this, and once again, I ran into the error message as I mentioned before (like d-talk). Allen, you said something about having a multihack file ... if you have it, would you share? Because I was frustrated that I cannot get this to work--hell, I can't even get the upgrade.cgi file to work properly--it brings back an Internal Server Error--I actually uploaded a "clean" events' variable file. So far, so good. Until I click on the calendar link. It said that I was trying to access a page that doesn't exist. I've installed this hack in all of my UBB's since 2001 (or whenever the calendar hack came into being), and I've never had the problems I'm having right now. Again, any feedback/guidance would be very much appreciated. _________________________ Sue adwoff.com

ADWOFF Content Queen Registered: 05/07/01 Posts: 709 Loc: Pennsylvania	Okay, I'm trying to do this from scratch. In the directions, it says to find $pntf_locations[3] in the public_forum_summary.pl $pntf_locations[3] appears twice. Do I put $calendar above both, or just one? And if just one, which one? _________________________ Sue adwoff.com

ADWOFF Content Queen Registered: 05/07/01 Posts: 709 Loc: Pennsylvania	Okay ... just went through and coded everything by hand ... and I get that gobbley-gook error message ... I try to do the upgrade, but I get an Internal Server Error. Is this upgrade.cgi file supposed to go in the .cgi folder? And is it supposed to be chmoded to 755? If it is, it's not working. I even cleared by computer's cookies and history and all that--thinking that maybe there was some kind of hiccup due to that. Feedback would be appreciated. Thanks. _________________________ Sue adwoff.com

ADWOFF Content Queen Registered: 05/07/01 Posts: 709 Loc: Pennsylvania	Well, Gizzy, I've done all that ... and I'm still getting this kind of a message: Quote: quote: syntax error at /home/adwoff/ubb-test/cgi/vars_calendar_events.cgi line 1, near "2452714y\|\|Da Raisin's Birthday!\|" syntax error at /home/adwoff/ubb-test/cgi/vars_calendar_events.cgi line 14, near "000006" target="" syntax error at /home/adwoff/ubb-test/cgi/vars_calendar_events.cgi line 15, near "000007" target="" syntax error at /home/adwoff/ubb-test/cgi/vars_calendar_events.cgi line 16, near "000057" target="" Illegal octal digit '8' at /home/adwoff/ubb-test/cgi/vars_calendar_events.cgi line 17, at end of line syntax error at /home/adwoff/ubb-test/cgi/vars_calendar_events.cgi line 17, near "000008" target="" syntax error at /home/adwoff/ubb-test/cgi/vars_calendar_events.cgi line 18, near "000022" target="" Illegal octal digit '9' at /home/adwoff/ubb-test/cgi/vars_calendar_events.cgi line 19, at end of line syntax error at /home/adwoff/ubb-test/cgi/vars_calendar_events.cgi line 19, near "000059" target="" syntax error at /home/adwoff/ubb-test/cgi/vars_calendar_events.cgi line 20, near "000060" target="" /home/adwoff/ubb-test/cgi/vars_calendar_events.cgi has too many errors. I'm getting beyond frustrated right now. Good thing I have a lot of hair to pull out. I can do PMs. I can access the profile area; when I update, of course, I get the above gobbly-gook. I could register a new name--as long as I didn't click on "Allow others to see my birth date?" I can access the directory. ------ I don't know what more I can do to try to get this mod to install correctly. As far as I know, I've gone through the steps and added/replaced where I should have done so (I did this both by creating a Multihack file, and then, when that failed, I manually did it for every file). I think with the exception of three pieces of code, I was able to find everything as laid out in the instructions' file. For example, in the instructions for the cp2_lib.cgi file, it said to find this piece of code: [$vars_wordlets_cp2{admin_modification},( --- Now I could not find that in a "clean" file--don't know if that's good or bad. So I did the alternative step. ---------- In the ultimatebb.cgi, I could not find this exact piece of code: Code: if ($ubb eq '') { &RequireCode("$vars_config{CGIPath}/ubb_forum_summary.cgi"); &forum_summary; exit(0); } -------- There were actually two different places where a "part" of this code existed: Code: # forum summary if ($ubb eq '') { if(defined $vars_display{UseForumAsFsum}) { $ubb = "forum"; $in{f} = $vars_display{UseForumAsFsum}; } else { &RequireCode("$vars_config{CGIPath}/ubb_forum_summary.cgi"); &forum_summary; exit(0); } # end if } # end if --------- and --------- Code: if ($ubb eq 'forum') { if ($in{f} =~ /CAT:/) { my($j, $cat_number) = split (/:/, $in{f}); $in{category} = $cat_number; delete $in{f}; &RequireCode("$vars_config{CGIPath}/ubb_forum_summary.cgi"); &forum_summary; } else { &RequireCode("$vars_config{CGIPath}/ubb_forum.cgi"); &get_forum; } exit(0); } # end forum ----------- This could be where I'm making my mistake. I didn't know if I should add it in one place or the other or both ... so I chose to go with the first piece of code: Code: # forum summary if ($ubb eq '') { if(defined $vars_display{UseForumAsFsum}) { $ubb = "forum"; $in{f} = $vars_display{UseForumAsFsum}; } else { &RequireCode("$vars_config{CGIPath}/ubb_forum_summary.cgi"); &forum_summary; exit(0); } # end if } # end if if ($ubb eq 'calendar') { &RequireCode("$vars_config{CGIPath}/ubb_lib_calendar.cgi"); &calendar_main; exit(0); } #end calendar If this is the problem--I sure hope it's that easy --could someone please let me know? _________________________ Sue adwoff.com
