UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.0x] News Fader V2.1 Hack!

LK, I see that could be a solution to the problem...but unfortunately I am not a coder so I dont understand exactly what you mean, and how to do it.
Could you explain in detail to your 10 year old son please?
If this is "off topic" and disturbing this thread, please send me a PM if you want.

Slurpee and LK
If it can be of any help to find a solution for the JS conflicts, I can report that my Top Navigational Bar II is showing up as supposed to on forum summary page and categories page if I disable the News Fader Hack.
Enabling the News Fader, the menubar dont show up again.
Just FYI
I will have a look at LK's MSN center and try to understand what has been done there to solve conflict

Ah yes, that was it. Thanks LK and Slurp. I had this same issue earlier, but forgot how to resolve it. (I am weird)

***SIGH***

Poor JJS, awash in a sea of all this technical brilliance, yet not a single soul can solve his rather simple problem:

Whenever I attempt to add a hotlink to my newsfader text I end up with an error.

Here is the line of text I'm attempting to add:

"Click on this link

Today's Active Topics","",

The " in the hyperlink has been replaced with a ' as instructions require--yet I'm still generating the error. This is NOT the last line of my headlines and I am entering it exactly as shown.

If I leave it in the Fader gags, take it out and the Fader works fine.

Will someone, ANYONE take pity on me and suggest a fix? I am growing weaker by the moment....

**GASP** **COUGH** **GAG**

Poor JJS, about to take his last breath, going to the great beyond without any answers to the question he posted above....

**COUGH** **WHEEZE** **SPIDDLE**

You can just use ...

LK:

That doesn't work for links in the newsfader.
" has to be replaced by '.

JJS

:rolleyes: You tried it?

I have a problem now that just aserted itself

the fader.js isnt encoded for IE 5.5 and i just upgraded to the latest version of Microsoft Virtual Machine and many other various windows and IBM updates and now the content of the fader does NOT show up at all in the table for it

i have talked to other members that havent gotten these updates and they can still see it, and i have also talked to a friend that has also gone thru many of the same various updates as I an he can not see the content either

and this is realy strange it may help i dont know

i tried to upgrade to 2.1 hoping that maybe you updated the java file and that did help page laoding and all that but for me and my friend all it did was to stop this error screen from popping on the furom summary page laod
[notice that i checked your forums to see if it did that there and it did]


if you can privide any help at all i would greatly apreciate it

and so will many other people i think

It works now.

Is there a way to get the news fader text to appear centered now matter what resolution the person viewing it is running at? The CP only allows hard pixel settings, and in experimenting I've had no luck at all....

My top .js menus don't conflict with the fader any more since I moved the call for them from the last entry before the closing body tag to the first one right after the opening body tag.

Can't seem to have much success on two hacks. This being one of the two.. I've added everything correctly and for some reason under Primary when I go to NewsFader to start putting in my settings and it brings up nothing to set?!!?!?

SplitFyre, is cp_vars_newsfader.pl uploaded to the noncgi/Templates directory?

XPert, I think it's impossible because it's not HTML

Ok. That file is in the right location and it does show up in my control panel.. but something odd. After making all the necessary changes under NewsFader and then clearing the cache, I relogin to my board and it doesn't show the NewsFader and I checked that I turned it on in the Control Panel. Any thoughts?

Uploaded cp_newsfader.cgi to the /cgi-bin directory? Modified public_forum_summary.pl and uploaded it to the /noncgi/Templates directory?

Hey LK,

I cannot seem to CHMOD any files. Permissions are set properly on the folders but when I try to set permissions on a file through CuteFTP for example it will say:


[cp_affiliates.cgi]
COMMAND:> SITE CHMOD 755 cp_affiliates.cgi
500 'SITE CHMOD 755 cp_affiliates.cgi': command not understood

Thoughts?

So don't CHMOD, just make sure you hacked/uploaded these files correctly.

LK .. no matter what I add. it won't change the size of the affiliate_data.pl file. This permission is obviously not CHMODDED properly. I am trying to figure out how I can CHMOD not through FTP as per my ISP's request.

Okay thanks to LK I think I am a little further in being able to successfully deploy this hack. Unfortunately even with the correct permissions it still will not bring up the NewsFader on the board. Anyone have any suggestions? I need help. Thanks!

This is a great hack...

Had some problems fixed it with a friend of mine Coolwarez..

The problem was that when you send a file thru ICQ it won't be ASCII...
i didn't know that and i upped the cp.cgi file and boom didn't do **** ...

We have been busy for the whole damn evening but it finally works and it was worth it...
Great stuff.!!!!!

Okay I found something interesting and wanted to find out what everyone's thought were on this. When I looked at other js files that were in the same dir as the newsfader.js file I saw two I think these are UBB6.05 system .js files: navbar.js and dhtmllib.js

Do you think this might be the problem?

When you CHMOD a file that has a _ in it, it often won't work. What you can do is rename the file without the _ and CHMOD it. After that, rename it to the original name.

I'm getting no errors but I'm also getting no news fader display. Any suggestions?

Same here though.. won't pop up. Is there some options that need to be turned on outside of the NewsFader section under Primary?

http://www.bdxi.f2s.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi
I've got news submitted - why won't it show up?

At least you got the News Fader bar showing up. How do i get it so the stupid Categories show up... argh!

Now I think this might be the issue.

[ August 05, 2001: Message edited by: Splitfyre ]

Have the categories showing, just no newsfader!!! argh! Is there a problem if two other .js files are in the same dir as the fade.js file?

Ok. Checked all the files and still no go.. wth!?

i cannot understand why it's not coming up. Checked all the files and even went and removed the two other .js files that were fader.js was and still no go. I re-uploaded em, cleared cache and still no go.. help!

after i install this hack and go to the cp it says that FYI. you dont have permission to access this area.

??? i got all the files there. chmod them. everything. but it still shows. without going in the cp i cant turn the fader on anyways.

any clues?

Rehack cp.cgi

when is this going to ubb 6.1?

Not until 6.1 is out of Beta.

Slurpee I installed your hack on two different ubb's, both are ver 6.05

site #1 : this ubb has multiple hacks. I installed news fader 2.0 with MHK and it worked fine, however the total topics/posts are not showing in the display.

I upgraded to newsfader 2.1, it still works but it still doesnt show total topics/posts.

I stripped everything out and manually hacked 2.1 and it still doesnt work.

site #2 : This site is a clean install of ubb 6.05, no hacks. I manually hacked newsfader 2.1 and am getting the exact same problem. The total topics/posts are not showing in the display.

I have noticed mention of this trouble twice in the 27 pages of discussions here, however no one replied to them.

In both cases I did not have the total topic/posts hack preinstalled. I did not skip any steps in your docs.

Any help you can provide would be GREATLY appreciated.

I dont understand how so many people can have so many problems with this awesome hack, considering that on the Van Halen forum, it works so perfectly.

What is he doing that makes his work great on his, and many others have problems?

Ok dudes, this hack is the BOMB!!!

I tested the 2.1 from scratch (i din't upgrade from an earlier version), and I installed this on an NT machine, and I would consider this hack one of the best ever made.
Works perfect!

Thanks for everything guys. Now lemme see if it works on my linux box, lol
