Install Notes:
- Unzip the file and upload the cgi-bin contents to your ubb cgi directory in ascii, setting permissions to 755. Upload the /uploads folder to your ubb non-cgi directory and set permissions to 777.
- Access your admin at db.cgi?action=admin there are some 'starter' categories in there you can edit.
- A method was added to make using additional file types easir to upload. Line # 282:

Change the (zip|txt|jpg) to add whatever file types you need. For example, to add .gif file, you would change that line to read:

Does this work for 6.6.1?

So I guess the short answer is, "no, it doesn't work with 6.6.1". Can it be ported?

- MT

I haven't tested it with 6.6, but you can. Upload it and see what happens, that's pretty simple

I should have actually been clearer. I did test it using 6.6.1. Sorry for that mistake. I got some sort of "hash" error... it was looking for something that I hadn't heard of before.

- MT

Can you post the error here?

Sure.... give me a second to re-install the mod.

- MT

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THIS ERROR IS BEING GENERATED BY 6.6.1, NOT 6.7 BETA:

Software error:
Can't locate object method "TIEHASH" via package "UBB::TiedURL" at /XXX/XXX/cgi-bin/db.cgi line 107.

For help, please send mail to the webmaster (matt.torbin@peigenesis.com), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.

I'm not sure what it means...

- MT

Yeah, then the hack certainly requires 6.7. That error is being generated by the lack of the 6.7 URL generation routines.

Damn... 6.6.1 got totally passed over. I guess there's no chance of a port, huh?

- MT

6.7 is close to going final - I would suggest waiting a week or three and upgrading.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too... but all that work... LOL... such is life.

- MT

comment out the line and see what happens

The URL maker will blow up, which sorta breaks the hack entirely.

heheh

The old one should still work with 6.6.
