Thanks scat for the info, I'll update them tonight and post the files.

We are most likely gonna be separating the IM's from the PM's so that we can clear up the bugs a little more quickly and make the IM's an add-on. PM's 3.5 is close to being just about clean, it's the IM's that are giving most people problems...

The "Yes" error has not been fixed yet, it's one of the bugs that IM's has working against it and happens when someone sends an IM with carriage returns in the message body.

Have people been having problems with their outbox? Mine is very kooky, saves PM's to certain members while not others. Deleting all cookies and resetting prefs doesn't affect it.

I realized that my private prefs fix for the outbox selector wasn't complete. Sorry about that.

In addition to previous tweak:

Also do this:

In privateprefs.cgi find:



and replace with

Yeah, the top fix did it Thermit! I have 2 more problems with 3.5

1) The borders in privateread.cgi, the lines are suppose to be black, but instead they are grey. Here's a screenshot of what I'm talking about http://dbz.star64.com/uploads/ubbhacks/screenshot.jpg (the grey lines circled in red)

2) I'm having the problem with the outbox not saving a message sometimes. Sometimes when I send a PM it saves it to the outbox and sometimes it doesn't.

Still bug testing... if anybody remembers, we began re-doing the cympm 1.5c because it had your username and password in the url in the messages sent to you, potentially a security risk.

I find it hard to imagine no-one has mentioned the condition still exists in your outbox. Go to your outbox here and hover over any message in it and you'll see what I mean... most likely no big deal, but can be. I am gonna look at this tonight and see if it is possible there may be an easy fix for it, something like copying over what was done for the inbox to the outbox... prolly not, but worth a look.

Thermit, thank you for the additions, they are in the code here now. I tested in sending pm to users with and without spaces in their names, it seems to be working well...

I will get the files uploaded shortly with all current bug fixes (found a couple more typos scat) and with the IM's separated out and their own thread started for those intensely interested....

Goto, those border colors were what Muc was all worked up about a few weeks ago. I believe a fix was posted somewhere here in another thread about it. It is a table border/ spacing problem.

Cool.

Gotu, the problem of the table border, which is evident in several of the scripts, doesn't look like a trivial fix. The code doesn't seem to reference "$TableBorderColor" which is the color that is missing, also the structure of the tables doesn't currently seem to be setup right to enable the look and feel of standard UBB pages. I believe this requires nested tables to achieve the correct effect, the missing outer table's background provides the border.

Fixing this would really make PM look good and match the rest of the UBB. Any volunteers?

OK, files are uploaded with latest bug fixes... IM's are now an option and are set to "no" right now. Re-set them to "yes" in private.cfg if you want them to work. IM's will get their own thread started tonight.

If you want the latest updates and already have pm's installed, just upload the files included in this zip file, no other coding is required.

Get it Here

Allen, have you fixed the image UBB Code Button in PM? At here and my UBB, the image button doesn't show just thought to let you know.

The bug hasn't been fixed yet in the outbox....

I think the codebutton option is done.. let me check...

OK.. I think the bugfix for the outbox and usernames/passwords is working, please check your own pm's here and tell me if you find it working or not... If it is ok, I'll add it to the files for upload tomorrow.

MM, I believe the fix for codebuttons is there, it isn't a manual option, but and auto-option, much like how some scripts are written to test for the presence of cookie_lib.pl, the code button fix test for the presence of the ubb_code_buttons.pl file and uses it if it is there... automagically....

I'm getting a blank screen on forumsdisplay.cgi if Instant Messaging is added to this script. Here's the source of that page:

----------
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" http-equiv=Content-Type></HEAD>

I was reading through the forums and I think Spawn had the same problem

Thanks
Abbas

Version 3.5 will fix the blank screen, but in 3.5 i get a CGI error
And I know I did everything right.
Something is wrong with privatesend cgi file.

I am using 3.5, but still getting the blank screen. Only happens when forumdisplay.cgi is modified as per the instructions. The remaining three UBB cgi files are working fine.

-Abbas

I checked my outbox and hovered over a link and the username/password info is gone, Allen. I think you did it. You might try it yourrself to make sure. Oh yeah, are you going to add the fix for the image button?

Darkstar reupload all the pm cgi files with the new version 3.5b and make sure you have a folder in the cgi-bin named private and make sure you chmod all the files to 755. that should do it.
