Well its there.. and CP works But when i click on the link to upload a file i get

Script execution error
Unable to execute script due to a configuration problem.
Please notify the webmaster of this error.

exec() returned: 2: No such file or directory

And the links in the CP are right

you have to set a folder up and give it 777 permissions for the uploads to go into

Here are a couple of things probably not mentioned in the documentation:

* The /uploads folder you create must be CHMODed 777.

* The wordlets modification was a little outta whack when I did it. Here may be a possible solution:

When it says to add lines like this:

upload_link => "<b>Upload File Form</b>",

ELY actually meant to add it like this:

upload_link => q~<b>Upload File Form</b>~,

Do these changes with each line in the wordlets to be included into vars_wordlets.cgi, unless you wanna just put these lines AS IS into vars_wordlets_mods.cgi, in which case you would have to add:

require "$vars_config{VariablesPath}/vars_wordlets_mods.cgi";

into the uploads.cgi file...

Think we can get this running for 6.04c?

It is running on 6.04c...:) What are you having problems with?


CL, good suggestions. For the wordlets, I suggested using the vars_wordlets_mods.cgi file as well, to make upgrading the ubb a little easier, and to help with standardization for modifications.

This one is only a day old, we'll give ELY_M some time to work out the kinks...

I worked thru the code and switched the wordlets over to wordlet_mods

I also recoded some of code to add more control for header and footer.

I also added some new CP hacks that let you change the size of the popup window and placment (where you want popup window to appear on left and top)

I hope it is much better for you than yesterday.

I also added some information for people who use older versions of ubb.

I hope it is ok that I added the wordlet_mod dev kit for someone who is first time to hacking his/her ubb.

let me know if it is not ok.

The zip is updated

Ely,

Good hack. Some quirks:

vars_wordlets_mods.cgi file should ALWAYS have the following line: mod_wordlets => q~Modifications Wordlets~,. Please have that line in.

Misc Settings: You accidentally placed:

------------------
&RegField ("Illegal file format #1 ", "illegalfile1", "yes", "3", "3", "Type all file extensions you want to block from being uploaded by the users in the text boxes below. Only put one extenison in one text box. all file extenisons *.exe will be not be uploaded and blocked. <b>Do not add "." before the extenison. as a example, you just put in "exe" in one text box and put "zip" in other text box. the script does this job already. Do not use quotes. </b>

Leave those text boxes blank if you do not want to block any file extenisons from being uploaded by the users.", "$vars_misc{illegalfile1}");
---------------

three times in your instructions. Once will suffice in my opinion.

Those are my major quirks. There are others involving capitalization but those are minor.

Great job.

thanks qasic,

human mistakes do happen.

the new zip is uploaded. I did corrected mistakes that qasic told me about.

installed easily ELY, nice work

well ive uploaded the new hack it gose in very nice and its more understandable
thanks!!!!!

but i might be doing somthing wrong here but when i click the link for upload all i get is a window pop up that says
------------------------------------------
Script execution error
Unable to execute script due to a configuration problem.
Please notify the webmaster of this error.

exec() returned: 2: No such file or directory
-----------------------------------------

Now my dirs are correct and the chmod is 777

any ideas?

1) is your "zip" file incorrect ? i get no download !!!

2) if u have a "show me the pics" script.

show me the "gif" and "jpg" in a DIR (like ubb 5 - gallerie hack) in a HTML page incl. the file name.

... so u can add "avatar" or "smilies"

hope u understand >> www.chat-board.de

Melder: Don't use any download programs like Getright/DAP, because in Tripod you must click on something.

ELY_M: nice job

http://www.*******.com/upload
**************************************
MY directorys are correct
and set to the right chmod 777
***************************************

But it still dont work

It works, just a few suggestions:
<OL TYPE=a>

[*]Add it also to edit (which I believe it's just the same as in public_new_topic_form.pl/etc).

[*]Add an option that the administrators can remove files, by filename or by user number.
</OL>

Thanks for this hack.

Mikey, what's your UBB's url?

Can anyone make a new description for the UBB Version 6.0? Please Please? Need Help!

I have test it but the Error was:

The Error came after the save the CP Settings!
All Files and dirs are correct and the chmod is 777!

And I can't see the Demo! The error:
