Ron M Admin Emeritus Developer Registered: 11/29/01 Posts: 789 Loc: Des Moines, IA	It looks pretty good, however, it is best to call ultimatebb.cgi and let the UBB decide when to call ultimatebb.php. I do have a more updated version of this, but I haven't released it. _________________________ http://thegeeksinc.com [img]http://www.ubbdev.com/ud/?u=Sub_Zero&s=1[/img] points generated

Gizmo Wizard Registered: 01/10/00 Posts: 5133 Loc: Portland, OR, USA	Well, I found a bug... I'm running the latest version and for once I'm using the section: Code: if ($count > 1) echo " "; (before I left it as "" and used something else, but now i'm going for a more professional look) What I'm seeing on my dev site is that the first entry ignores Code: if ($count > 1) echo " "; Which kind of sucks as I get parts that run together... Any ideas? This is the only thing that's holding development back right now (well, the only thing i need to worry about anyway); I've been coding up a storm lately... You can see examples of this error by looking at the "Headlines" section, the first two entries mesh together vs using: Code: if ($count > 1) echo " \|\| "; And the "Tech News" section the first two stories mesh together instead of using: Code: if ($count > 1) echo " "; (Note that the headlines are generated from a file named "headlines.php" and news from "news.php" so they aren't in the same file)... _________________________ UBB.Dev - Where you too can render your UBB install completely useless...

Ron M Admin Emeritus Developer Registered: 11/29/01 Posts: 789 Loc: Des Moines, IA	You might want to verify your changes. The $count > 1 is that way so that it does the 2 line breaks after the 1st iteration of the script. My guess is that $count isn't being incremented during the 1st pass. _________________________ http://thegeeksinc.com [img]http://www.ubbdev.com/ud/?u=Sub_Zero&s=1[/img] points generated

Ron M Admin Emeritus Developer Registered: 11/29/01 Posts: 789 Loc: Des Moines, IA	Change $count > 1 to $count >= 1. The problem is $count = 0 at first, then gets incremented to 1 and the line break logic doesn't get called. _________________________ http://thegeeksinc.com [img]http://www.ubbdev.com/ud/?u=Sub_Zero&s=1[/img] points generated

Ron M Admin Emeritus Developer Registered: 11/29/01 Posts: 789 Loc: Des Moines, IA	Zip File Updated. Fixes ====== - Fixed the Gizzy $count bug - Changed the include to require for vars_config.inc.php (Why try to run if you cannot fetch the paths ) - Tweaked the internal code documentation - Cleaned up the formatting of the code for easier reading (I should have done this sooner) - Switched the URLs to Spider Friendly I'm going to mark this as a Finished Modification since it does seem rather stable. _________________________ http://thegeeksinc.com [img]http://www.ubbdev.com/ud/?u=Sub_Zero&s=1[/img] points generated

Ron M Admin Emeritus Developer Registered: 11/29/01 Posts: 789 Loc: Des Moines, IA	Zip File Updated again because I forgot to leave the old URL formats in for the 6.4 Users. If you do not want the short URLs or are unable to run with them, you may comment the lines with them and uncomment the lines with the standard URLs. Example Before: Code: $morepath = $CGIURL . "/ultimatebb.cgi/ubb/get_topic/f/" . $forum . "/t/" . $topicnum; //$morepath = $CGIURL . "/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=" . $forum . ";t=" . $topicnum; Example After: Code: //$morepath = $CGIURL . "/ultimatebb.cgi/ubb/get_topic/f/" . $forum . "/t/" . $topicnum; $morepath = $CGIURL . "/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=" . $forum . ";t=" . $topicnum; _________________________ http://thegeeksinc.com [img]http://www.ubbdev.com/ud/?u=Sub_Zero&s=1[/img] points generated

Gizmo Wizard Registered: 01/10/00 Posts: 5133 Loc: Portland, OR, USA	Hey SubZero, I'm currently working on a rendition of the body of UBB.News that will provide a valid RSS2.0 feed; would it be allright if I can post the body segment here when completed? The hardest task is to get a valid date lol, they want it one way whereas it's presented another ;/, too bad that for a valid feed we had to sit and code for a while to get it to output a differant way without modding existing ubb code :/; but we coded a fix for that one . _________________________ UBB.Dev - Where you too can render your UBB install completely useless...

Ron M Admin Emeritus Developer Registered: 11/29/01 Posts: 789 Loc: Des Moines, IA	I could probably help you out with the date handling Gizzy. I do see that it is tricky. You are probably going to have to do some kludge to get the current server Time Zone and assume that the FudgedOffset is 0. Then again, you could do some math on FudgedOffset from vars_config.inc.php and figure out the new timezone. Possibly at some point, the RSS 2.0 stuff could either be a "hack" to the code, or we might be able to make some arrangements and ship it as stock behavior. We should probably discuss what we want to do privately if that is something we want to consider _________________________ http://thegeeksinc.com [img]http://www.ubbdev.com/ud/?u=Sub_Zero&s=1[/img] points generated

Gizmo Wizard Registered: 01/10/00 Posts: 5133 Loc: Portland, OR, USA	Well the timezone for RSS has to be in an exact format; we have a discussion at ugn here on the subject though ... PM me later and i'll get you what i have right now; the only thing not rss2.0 compliant is the date which would be fixed via the forum thread we have going. _________________________ UBB.Dev - Where you too can render your UBB install completely useless...

Ian Spence Master Hacker Registered: 01/25/03 Posts: 3765 Loc: Saint Johns, PA	http://www.ianspence.com/?page=rss First, use the following function Code: function convert_date($ubb_time) { return preg_replace("/(d{1,2})-(d{1,2})-(d{4})/", "\3-\1-\2", $ubb_time); } Pass in the normal UBB time you get (DATE blank space TIME) Then Code: $date = date( "D, d M Y H:i:s T" , strtotime( convert_date( $day . ' ' . $hour ) )); _________________________ Code monkey like Fritos

Gizmo Wizard Registered: 01/10/00 Posts: 5133 Loc: Portland, OR, USA	I just dropped it in and called it as you said... BTW, "am/pm" isn't in the spec, it's 24 hour time I believe. SubZero, a reccommendation, instead of commenting the shorturl capabilities why not just add a switch? Add this to the top: Code: // Use ShortURLs? 1 = yes, 0 = no. $shorturls = "1"; Then add this before you define your layout: Code: if($shorturls == 1) { $authorurl = $CGIURL . "/ultimatebb.cgi/profile/" . $authorid; $morepath = $CGIURL . "/ultimatebb.cgi/ubb/get_topic/f/" . $forum . "/t/" . $topicnum; $commentpath = $CGIURL . "/ultimatebb.cgi/ubb/reply/f/" . $forum . "/t/" . $topicnum; } else { $authorurl = $CGIURL . "/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_profile;u=" . $authorid; $morepath = $CGIURL . "/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=" . $forum . ";t=" . $topicnum; $commentpath = $CGIURL . "/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=reply;f=" . $forum . ";t=" . $topicnum; } _________________________ UBB.Dev - Where you too can render your UBB install completely useless... UGN Security, Elite Web Gamers & VNC Web Design Owner
