well it should be file permissions then because everything in my 2 folders, cgi-bin and ubb have the been set for RWXD, so anything that goes into the folder should be set. Or is this private folder different ?
Maybe in that folder I want to set the properties to "not be able to browse" ?

any other thoughs?

Got it working
For some reason thos permissions weren't passed on to that new folder I created

Hi!

First off I just wanted to say that I am in awe of some of the stuff that you all have come up with! You have truly done an amazing job of it all.

I am in the process of updating my boards and have managed to install this hack (which I absolutely love!).

I have found a little bug though. I did a search on the boards several times to see if I could find a fix for it but to no avail.

If I have a user with an apostrophe in it, like Katie'sMom, when ever you try to send her a Private Message it comes up with Katie|APO|sMom in the Send To: box instead of Katie'sMom. If you try to send it without fixing it to an apostrophe, it says that this user doesn't exist.

Now, *I* realized that it needed to be fixed, but I know my users and this is something that I will have to explain over and over and over again ( Sort of like the cookie_lib.pl thing here! )

If anyone could help me, I would greatly appreciate it!

I don't like the idea of the password being shown blatantly in the URL when privateread.cgi is called. Any fix for this?

Thanks.

Changing the form method to post will hide it initially, but not in the long term. It's a 'feature' of the hack.

Just a thought

This was being adjusted in v2 correct? I definatly won't be installing this kickass hack until the password is secure enough in that fashion...

MobileZone,

You need to create a directory called "private" under the same directory as all of your other CGI files.

I met the same problem and it works fine after I created this directory.

Got this working fine, only one this that I am not sure how to set.
In Private view, its a broken link for AIM, and I have AIM installed.
I have looked and it seems to be set at #16, like the rest of my site, still doesn't work
Can anyone explain what I need to do ?

Snook

hey thanks a lot goblue... i'm so forgetful...thanks a lot again.

I liked this hack very much. I did something above and beyond the hack that I feel perfectly integrates it into my board.

First thing I did was killed the e-mail and profile links to public view. Why? PM will notify the intended user via e-mail without showing e-mail address. This provides an interesting situation.

1. The user comes back to the board.
2. E-mail address is strictly private
3. Only registered users can send other people posting replies a private message. Guest can not get straight to the registered user anymore.

Now to make this work right for me I also had to add the homepage link under the users name. This is useful and fair since I killed the profile link. Where did I put the profile link? I put in in the IP Display link. Only Moderators and Admins can view any e-mail address and profile.

In addition to the above I also turned off the email and profile links in the members.cgi file and last user to register. Registered users can only view or edit thier own profile.

Anyway, I'm still working on my CYPM Optimization integration hack but would love to hear suggestions/feedback.

See it in action here!!!
