lol, I thought you said it would be a while cause you had 3 others to do.

You don't have a txt version do you?

I finished one project and started this one after

You can export a text file from multihack, give it a shot

Thanks for the hack.

And thanks for the help, I got it

I don't know how to use MultiHack would someone mind exporting a text file for me?

Can I port this into v6.4?

I ported the new Authority List into my UBB.Classic v6.4.0 & only have two minor problems.

1. It does not display the Moderators nor Administrators on the main page, in the panel. But! When I click the Authority List link, it displays the Moderators & Admins with no problem, including the forum(s) they moderate.

2. In the CP/Maintenance/Rebuild Staff Index link, I get the following error:

Any suggestions?

1 More Question: I spent almost a year begging someone to update the Authority List for UBB.Classic v6.4.0 to no avail. I log on your site today, and here's an Authority List upgrade for UBB.Classic v6.5. I'm looking at a working Authority List for v6.3 & v6.5, yet v6.4 was skipped. What's wrong with this picture!?

6.4 was so close to 6.5 in code that there wasn't much reason to make a special version. if you notice, a lot of the 6.4 boards running the auth list were of users who know perl heh...

Ok, then maybe one of these perl guru's can assist me in my original post (see above).

Did you remember to set the permissions on your new files? Use the instructions from the 6.3 version for the cp area, that should be closer 6.5 had wordlets done to the cp, so these instructions won't match closely.

Hello Allen:

The CHMOD is correct on all files. The Vars_Wordlets_Mods appear to be correct. But when I click the Rebuild Staff Index from the CP/Maintenance, I continue to get the following error:

Ok! I think I get it. You want me to re-hack cp.cgi, cp_index.cgi & cp_common.pl using the instructions from 6.3. Correct?

Nobody has a text file exported for this one?

I would upload a zip version but I don't have a place to upload to

EDIT: Testing upload form

http://www.ubbdev.com/ubb/upload/00020028/auth_list65.zip

That has the pics, txt, and all files needed

For the time being click here if you want the "Authority List 6.3".

Text version for 6.4/6.5 someone else has to provide.

<hr /></blockquote>Been there. Done that. Got this:
Now what?

I'm having the same problem he is.

GetMembersListAsHashReversed was removed in 6.4, with the addition of the Directory. The hack needs to be ported to the directory metadata files, plain and simple... a straight conversion from 6.3 ain't gonna cut it.

Untested in this case but tested in another hack:
find:

... or it can just use values %{&GetMemversListAsHash};

LK's worked, and I had no clue where to go with what Charles posted. a code box would have helped so I knew if I needed to start at "use" or "%"

Does anyone know know who to make the Authority list appear as a separate "table"


See how it is separated between categories? How would I do that between the final category (Private)?

before the code you're adding to public_forum_summary.pl, try to add: $TBB
$TBT

Those are cool News Post icons. I like the color combination too. Great job Weird Al.

...

Err...I just noticed something. On your "UnModerated Forums" you have Forum Admins listed.

Thanks for the compliments. and for the Forum Admins thing, I don't know how to remove the $Moderated tag from only certain forums

I'm gonna have the entire forum summary page with those gradient bars once I figure out how to edit the Recent Visitors table

Here is what line 113 looks like in my ubb_lib_pntf.cgi file:
Can you find anything wrong in it?

that's very weird... can you go back to your backup ubb_lib_pntf.cgi, test if it works, and if so rehack authority list (lib_pntf's stages)? also the ubb_lib_pntf.cgi stages are really not important, so if it works in the backup version you could just leave it that way.

hey Allen, there's one problem with the Multihack. It's something that can easily be seen by human hackers, but I'm not sure if Mulithack would fix it.

I know you're the one who writes the hacks and that you know a lot more about Perl, but wouldn't that be more effective?

If the "Old Data" matches then it should work.

[code][/code]I guess that would be better in case someone moved the forum home just one spot over, it wouldn't work

LK: IT WORKED!!!



You Da Man!!!!!!

i hacked my 6.4x and it worked fine with LKs extra addons thx. guys.

but one little thing, after making it a sepperate cat i have a black small thing on the edge:



how come ?

go to public_forum_summary.pl and find where the Authority list is placed. There shoule be [code][/code]Messing around with that should fix it, I had the same problem and had to change the "x" to 7

yeah, 7 was a good hint, it worked

thx. !

hey Allen, I saw a mod of this hack where it could add other titles, ie Donators, if you gave them a custom title that was Donator.

Is there anyway you know to do this?

Hello,
