Ok, it took me a while, but with a lot of help from Freakscene, we have a beta now. I've tested this on UBB 6.04c on a Win2000 server and everything worked perfectly. Here's a copy and paste from the doc giving all the info on it, saying what it does, and any problems with it:

#############################################
#############################################
###
### HACK NAME: Glowing Names
###
### VERSION: 0.3 Beta 4/29/01 - tested on UBB 6.04c
###
### AUTHORS: Ramirez ([email protected])
### &
### Freakscene
###
### -Inspired by and based on the hack by:
### -Arobas ([email protected])
###
### THANKS TO:
### -Freakscene for doing all the CP stuff and a lot of
### the documentation
### -Mightymod for helping me troubleshoot an error and
### giving me the idea on how to fix the 'RadioFieldHyp'
### problem.
###
### FEATURES:
### -Admin assignable custom glow colors, glow strengths,
### and text colors for the names of admins, mods, and
### members within a thread.
### -Admin, Mod, and Member colors and strengths can all
### be set independently
### -Toggles to Enable or Disable glow color and text
### color on each individual status.
### -If Disabled, custom text colors are used
### -Each style can have unique settings
### -Compatible w/ the UBB Cache
###
### PROBLEMS & CONCERNS:
### -No idea if it's mod perl compliant. Can someone
### test it and find out please?
### -I don't use Netscape and don't know if these tags
### work in it. Can someone test please?
###
### VERSION HISTORY
### .03 Beta
### -Fixed documentation to install a missing subroutine
### if you did not have UBB Hypercells by Freakscene
### installed
###
### .02 Beta
### -Changed status check to look at actual status in
### member profile rather than title. Should be more
### compatible with other mods and better all around.
###
### .01 Beta
### -Initial Release
###
#############################################
#############################################

Notice the stuff at the bottom; I need help testing please! If you have any problems with it, suggestions for improvement, or info on the things I stated I need help with, post here or email me.

Here's what your CP should look like when you're done. Make sure you have all the radio buttons set to Enable.

You mean you took the "Hyp" off of "RadioFieldHyp"? That's freakscene's stuff, so I'll have to ask him about it. As for it not showing any changes, do you have a link to your boards I could see? Also, could you email me a copy of your var_styles for the style template you have it setup on?
[email protected]

I just added a picture of what your CP should look like when you're done. Make sure you have all of those fields and that all the radio button fields are set to "Enable".

Your variables file looks fine, and your browser should work fine with this mod. What forum do you have this style applied to? Also, have you cleared the cache?

Uh, i think here lies the problem, i allready wondered about "apply to your forums you want".

How do i apply the glowing names to special forums ?!

I thought its global...

Maybe this is the problem..

Yeah, if you only have one template, then all the forums should be using it. I looked at your boards and the code isn't showing up. Could you email me your public_topic_page.pl? I'm off to class for a couple of hours, but I'll look at it when I get home.

Give me a link to which mod you are talking about; I'm not sure which it is. I have the 'Last Reply By In Forum' by Slurpee installed with this just fine, but you said the one you had installed was by qasic. Give me a link and I'll look at it, shouldn't be a problem though. I'll look at your public_topic_page

Yeah, those two are compatible, I have them both installed. There are a couple of possibilities I'm looking at right now. One is that it might not be compatible with 6.04b, but I don't see why it wouldn't. Another possibility is that it's not compatible with Avatars or custom status that you have installed. But the most likely possibility I think is that it is not recognizing the user status, so the IF statements aren't catching things properly.

Do me a favor. Turn on the glow effect and custom color for everyone, clear the cache, then post here and let me know that you've done that. I'll take a look and see if it changed anything in the HTML output.

Oh, and authorize me on your boards so I can help test a little smile

I'm going to go play frisbee for about 2 hours. I see it is getting close to 0:00 there, so I don't know how late you will be up. We can continue working on it this weekend if you will be online. I should be back online around 01:00 - 01:30 your time.

Uhhh, i see the Glowing Effect works with normal Users, but not for Admins ...

If i turn on glowing effect for normal members, ALL members have glowing, but i want ONLY Admins/Mods to glow...danm..

Current settings: Admins yellow, members green, im admin

Seems that the Admins are not recognized..

I installed that Rank/Titles-Hack, i think this affects the admin-recognition for Glowing-hack...

Admin rights would be nice, but I can understand if you don't want to give that out smile Here's how to test what's going on. Give each status a different glow and text color, then clear the cache again. If they all show up as the same color, then I'll bet they are all showing up as the 'Member' color. That means it isn't recognizing the titles for anyone, and it's catching everyone under the 'Else' statement at the end that is for normal members. I'm going to be messing around with getting it to check actual permissions rather than title, which should fix your problem.

Ok, I got it fixed to look at actual status rather than titles. It should work for you now. I've changed the install instructions and the new version is .02 Beta. To upgrade, here's what you do:

In public_topic_page.pl
### Find:

if ($user_status eq "$vars_misc{AdminTitle}") {

### Replace with:

if ($user_profile[8] eq "Administrator") {

### Find:

} elsif ($user_status eq "$vars_misc{ModeratorTitle}") {

### Replace with:

} elsif ($user_profile[8] eq "Moderator") {

### Save & Close, Clear Cache

It should work for you now, let me know how it turns out.

Now, I installed the hack. After firing up my CP and going in to the styles it poped up with a error. The way I corrected it was I searched for Hyp and erased it from the suffix of the field tags.

Everything works fine now. But, I was wondering, why that was in there, and if it was imporant why did it call a error.


Peace Out,

I'll update the doc. I'm not sure on that, as Freakscene did that coding, and it's the same stuff he used for the Hypercells hack. It seems to work more often without the HYP, so out it goes smile Thanks for the input everyone.

Well, I took the Hyp off the RadioFieldHyp in the docs. I then went and tested it on my forums. It works, but it looks funny. For the people that had to do this, do your CP screens look like the one I posted, or do they have large weird colored blocks next to some of the fields?

ah hah! I found it! Thanks MightyMod. It's part of the UBBHypercells mod that wasn't included in the instructions for this one. I'll work on updating the doc later. I'm too tired right now smile

Install Document updated to version .3 Beta. Now gives instructions to install a missing subroutine if you do not have UBB Hypercells by Freakscene installed. If you previously got this to work by taking out all the 'Hyp' parts, I suggest you redo this. It will make your CP look a lot better smile

I instlled a clean copy of ubb 6.04c
and tried to install the mod again. Now, I'm getting this error.

Missing right bracket at /data1/va/repomann/cgi-bin/ubb/Templates/cp_common.pl line 620, at end of line syntax error at /data1/va/repomann/cgi-bin/ubb/Templates/cp_common.pl line 620, at EOF

I'm looking at the doc file for cp_common.pl
and it says:

Code
code:

But now if you look at the orignal code in ubb 6.04c in the same file cp_common.pl you will see a change.

Is there any difference in there or maybe the build? I'm not sure what I did wrong.
