Slurpee -

I am trying to add this hack but in ubb-libary you are calling to find chomp($checkit[7]);. but in my copy version 5.38c. I don't have any thing like that.

This is where I stopped just due to this.

Please help.

Whatīs about this hack in later ubb versions? It donīt work in privat areas.

Well i just wanted to say i upgraded to 5.44b
and put this hack in with no problems. I have it linked to the profile. That may make a differenceas to why people are having problems. Wanted to say thanks for the hardwork of making this hack.

Matt

I am using 5.44a, without the profile linking. No luck...

how do you make it work in private forums?

I'm using this hack in 5.43d (taken from the database) and it works fine. My advice for those of you who can't get it to work is: Try reinstalling it.

Just a thought

problem, when i try to update threads in the general variables area and check that option you say to check it wont go through the process of updating the threads, it goes to forum 1 them goes to a blank page next. I don't understand what is wrong at all.

Still looking for help on installing this in version 5.38c.

I do not have the line chomp($checkit[7]);
but what I have is:
if ($checkit[6] =~ /N/) {
$AddN = "N";
} else {
$AddN = "";
}
if ($checkit[1] eq "$threadnum") {
if ($openclose eq "open") {
$checkit[6] = "$AddN";
} else {
$checkit[6] = "X$AddN";
}
$newline = join("|^|", @checkit);
push(@theupdatedts, $newline);
} else {
push(@theupdatedts, $checkthis);
}
} # end foreach @threadsum

Could someone help with this?

I feel so cool. I got this hack to work the first time (well, after i remembered to change the permissions on the files after uploading them). Thanks for a great hack with easy instructions.

Okay since no help has been forth coming I have been playing around with it myself.

below
foreach $checkthis(@threadsum) {
chomp($checkthis);

I added the chomp($checkit[8]);

But changed it to chomp($checkit[7]);

then in in forumdisplay I changed:
$lastAuthName = qq(<A HREF="$CGIURL/ubbmisc.cgi?action=getbio&UserName=$threadinfo[8]" target=_new> );
$lastName = $threadinfo[8];
$lastName =~ tr/+/ /;

to
$lastAuthName = qq(<A HREF="$CGIURL/ubbmisc.cgi?action=getbio&UserName=$threadinfo[7]" target=_new> );
$lastName = $threadinfo[7];
$lastName =~ tr/+/ /;

It's working.

Hmmm...just noticed something - dont know if its a problem or not. I have the last user to post listed for each topic, which is great - that's working, along with the link to the post.. However. Last user to post is NOT displaying for the forums as a whole (on the main page). Did I do something wrong, or is that a different hack completely?

Mikal that a different hack that you can find at http://ubbcodehacking.com/ubb/Forum7/HTML/000007.html.

Cool - I love to hear i didnt get anything wrong - BUT, that url doesnt work - how about a name for the hack so i know what to search for? - Thanks.

try the link again it works.

Anyone get this to work with 5.45b???

I see it's up with this forum but having all kinds of things disappear on me when I tried to implement the original message.

For instance, after the 2nd post, it stopped tracking who the last one was. I also lost the total posts, and origin of the poster (set in General Settings) when one posts a new post or a reply.

I saw a lot of questions but no one seems to answer. I know it's doable but would appreciate any help.

I too had the same problem, i had to have cal help me with my ubb_library2.pl to get it back to normal, thats where it screws something up. Im not sure this works for the latest 5.45b. It possibly does, but unless you know perl pretty good you wont be able to tell what your doing wronge

Lots of hacks are not compatible with 5.4.5 because of the way it handles profile fields. In time they should all be updated/fixed.

Just a thought

Took a while to hack in, but works well in v5.45b using Slurpee's directions . I didn't do anything different than he says.

No kidding?

Ok... let me get rid of Mutt's UBB Code Buttons and see what happens.

Excellent Hack Slurpee!

Just put it into 5.44 using profile linking without a hitch per your instructions!
