Gizmo Wizard Registered: 01/10/00 Posts: 5133 Loc: Portland, OR, USA	So, about the beating up of the beta version :x... BTW, for the gramelins, could you have it just define a url when it sences a gramelin's usage? Say using noncgiurl/gramelins/gramelin.gif _________________________ UBB.Dev - Where you too can render your UBB install completely useless... UGN Security, Elite Web Gamers & VNC Web Design Owner

Ron M Admin Emeritus Developer Registered: 11/29/01 Posts: 789 Loc: Des Moines, IA	I kind of got sidetracked on the ubbnews.php after a couple of major projects cropped up this past fall. I'm getting this back on my whiteboard to address/look into further. A workaround for the graemlin problem is to drop ubbnews.php in the noncgi directory. I'll have to examine the Z lines a bit more to determine if I can do a replace on the graemlins, or somehow break it apart and insert in the noncgi url from the vars_config.inc.php. Regarding the quote/code/list fix, I have a tempoary one, however, it doesn't handle multiple lists correctly. I'm going to rethink the code that I injected last fall into my beta version. I think I'm going need to do a string find and count, then compare the open and close counts and append the appropriate number of closing tags. If you want, I can post my current temporary fix, but I'll need to do further testing on my boards after I write a more permenant fix. I have an idea about how to do a more permenant fix, I just need to code and test it on my boards before I release it. It's not going to break the UBB, I'd just rather break my beta directory than anyones live sites. _________________________ 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	That's not a vaild workaround... If you use a php include to load the page into a document it'll load all data from that called position. Example: http://www.undergroundnews.com/ if I use a PHP call to load from http://www.undergroundnews.com/ubb/news.php on the main page of http://www.undergroundnews.com/ it'll still look for the gramelins in http://www.undergroundnews.com/ and not http://www.undergroundnews.com/ubb/. 'eh I can wait till an official live version is available lol... I run it so much at my site, with some customizations it's used for site news/rants/tech news/main page/store news. Just wanted to be sure you were alive :x... _________________________ UBB.Dev - Where you too can render your UBB install completely useless... UGN Security, Elite Web Gamers & VNC Web Design Owner

Ron M Admin Emeritus Developer Registered: 11/29/01 Posts: 789 Loc: Des Moines, IA	I'm still alive. I've been playing in Zend with the quote/code/list (Gotta love the Preview of the HTML and the ability to set breakpoints to examine varaible content). I did concept up a method of counting the open tags, and automatically closing the tags at the end of the teaser, regardless of where they are supposed to close. I'll probably be able to test that on a live board shortly. The problem I'm running into on the gramelins is doing an outright replace on the img tags. If I append $NonCGIURL to all image tags, it would break any outside images in the feed. On the other hand, I cannot be guaranteed that I'm able to read /cgi-bin/vars_graemlins.cgi due to open_basedir restrictions. If I can be sure that I can read vars_graemlins, I can do some array work to "trim the fat" of the hash, and get it so I have just the graemlin image file names, and just do a search and replace on those file names. I could just include a base href, but would that break other parts of the page that it is feeding onto. That, I'm unsure of also. _________________________ 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	perhaps have it compaire where the url is linking to? or if the url is linking to a directory named gramelins? Yeh I'm using a base href, it's a pain in the butt... I had to recode parts of my entire news pages just to run this and have gramelins show lol... _________________________ UBB.Dev - Where you too can render your UBB install completely useless...

Not all graemlins are in /noncgi/graemlins. Some are in /noncgi...

Oh, and here's some beta code for the quote bug:

Find:

Code:

     $postdet = substr($postdet,0,strlen($postdet)-strpos(strrev($postdet),$aspace));

Add After:

Code:

     $bot = substr_count($postdet, "<blockquote>");
     $bct = substr_count($postdet, "</blockquote>");
     if ($bot > $bct) {
     	while($bot > $bct) {
     		$postdet = $postdet . "</blockquote>";
     		$bct++;
     	}
     	$nodots = "TRUE";
     }
    $lot = substr_count($postdet, "<ul");
     $lct = substr_count($postdet, "</ul>");
     if ($lot > $lct) {
     	while($lot > $lct) {
     	$postdet = $postdet . "</ul>";
     	$lct++;
     	}
     	$nodots = "TRUE";
     }

Another question: $varspath = "/path/to/noncgi"; Is it an absolute path or relative to webserver root? I�m running on Windows2000-server, could you give an example? "/inetpub/wwwroot" or "c:inetpub..." or is it a webpath?

Gizmo Wizard Registered: 01/10/00 Posts: 5133 Loc: Portland, OR, USA	Eric, 1. You'll be able to use this, so long as your news forum is NOT a private forum (yes your board is closed, but a private forum is one that only restricted users such as admin/mod/ones you deem worthly can access). 2. It's a server path not web path. As Ian said, it'll be what's in your board configuration. _________________________ UBB.Dev - Where you too can render your UBB install completely useless...

Eric Flyxe Member Registered: 05/03/01 Posts: 57	No modification, only tried changing the path you suggested before. Yes, I have the PHP accelerator enabled, and it is working. Maybe something with the PHP installation? I�ll have the guy that installed it to have a look at this issue. If you don�t have any other clues?

I can't find anywhere in the code where it tells it to print that out _________________________ Code monkey like Fritos
