gpyper, the link works, but you can't download it using Getright/DAP, download it in Internet Explorer.

I been busy with other projects.

I finally updated my zip. it is still at tripod

you have to simple click on the link and you will tripod page with the zip link. just click again.

Just press on left button.

This MOD rules !! Thanks very MUCH!

I have the mod working and all seems fine, however can I retain the name of the document, when I post a word document I would like others to see the same file name.

Is this hard to do?

updated here to the latest version ELY_M, thanks, works well.

Just about ready for the finished forum?

A bit confused here. I got the hack installed and look like everything was fine. I found the options in the CP / Miscellaneous and Forums. I set all the options and setup up one forum to allow uploads.

However, when I go to that forum and try to post or send a pm I get no option to upload. There's nothing to choose to upload a file.

Here's a link to the forum.

http://www.lwg3d.org/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum&f=1

Any idea what I did wrong?

check your wordlets, make sure they are done, or you won't get a link.

Here's what I applied to the "var_wordlets_mods.cgi" file:

At the beginning:

%vars_wordlets_mods = (

Uploads_Upload Here => q~Uploads~,


------------------------------------


Just before the end of the file:


upload_link => q~Upload File Form~,
upload_size_limit_title_bar => q~Error: Limit Reached~,
upload_submit_button => q~Upload~,
upload_not_allowed => q~File Uploading is not allowed in this forum.~,
upload_not_allowed_pm => q~File Uploading is not allowed in private messages.~,
upload_allowed_files1 => q~file formats allowed:
~,
upload_allowed_files2 => q~extenisons
you cant upload any file formats that are not listed here~,
upload_finished_title_bar => q~Upload Finished~,
upload_file_name_dontworry => q~upload_file_name_dontworry~,
upload_illegal_title_bar => q~Illegal File Format (extension)~,
upload_illegal_message1 => q~You can not upload this file format ~,
upload_illegal_message2 => q~
please upload a different file or Do not upload at all.~,
upload_size_limit_header => q~

File Size Limit Reached

~,
upload_finished_header => q~

Upload Finished

~,
upload_illegal_header => q~Illegal File Format (extension)~,
upload_finished_link => q~Here is the link to your uploaded file.
~,
upload_copy_paste => q~copy and paste this in your message~,
upload_size_limit => q~The file size limit is~,
upload_rules => q~uploading rules:
no viruses, trojans, or warez allowed
if you abuse it. It will be disabled by Admin

~,

);
1;

Documentation regarding "_ => ""," were not very clear so I may not have made changes in this matter correctly hence "Uploads_Upload Here => q~Uploads~," at the beginning if the file is probably my error.

Thanks for your help.

Usually the first part of the wordlet line is all lowercase... check that, and you don't have to seperate them out, you can put them all together or in different places, as long as they are there.

I cnahged em to lower case and still won't show up. I'll try reinstalling the hack and see if I can pick up an error somewhere on my part elsewhere.

If that doesn't work maybe I can get you to look at my ubb?

Thanks again,
Cobra

I reinstalled the hack and it still doesn't work but I did get some different results and possible some new info.

First I need to mention that I am installing this on 604e.

Everything appered to be just the same after the reinstall untill I added the following files after hacking them.

cp_common.pl
cp_wordlets.cgi
cp.cgi
ultimatebb.cgi

What caused the problem was something in Step 3 of the mods_wordlet_install.txt instructions. I realized after reinstalling the hack that I had missed this part on the last hack. I was unable to determine which of the scripts caused the problem but what I get is an internal server error.

When I looked at my log I believe this is the problem with both the cp.cgi and ultimatebb.cgi

-----------------------------

httpd: [Sat Jun 2 00:05:11 2001] [error] [client 204.228.206.203] Premature end of script headers: /www/amisite/cgi-bin/cp.cgi

------------------------

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Cobra

I have better idea, but Im not sure of how to get the script to work like that.

if someone uploaded same filename. it should add a number to end of filename.

image.jpg
image1.jpg
image2.jpg

This is better idea.

I will work on this later.

esh...reading this I'm suprised you're not sick of the support- only thing is I have an issue I have no idea what is wrong. here's a direct link to the post screen, if you click it, it says that there is no page, however the dir is there:

http://www.warpstorm.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=newtopic&f=2

it says the page doesn't exist. the files are there, chmodded right, hack works.....I'm at a loss.

the upload dir is:

http://www.warpstorm.com/ubb/uploads/

I got page forbidden from your uploads link.

I think it have to do with your server's options on directory listing.

try put index.html and see what happened.

Still getting that the page doesn't exist. I'll try and have it link directly, but permissions are fine.

This is strange- everything should work, but it's not

Lovely script, but the path isn't showing on mine, which file do i got to fix the paths to the upload directory as it's not showing on the CP even after the cache clearup

When I try to upload an invalid file type it says invalid file type but it still uploads.

If i upload .zip files the files are damaged.

Any ideas ?

it should not mess up your zip files.

about invalid file. you have to get newest instructions and re-do your hack.

just download newest zip

A little help with paths

Can someone give me examples of these:
I just can't figure out what paths to put.

DIR path to the uploads folder

URL path to the uploads folder

[ June 08, 2001 01:25 PM: Message edited by: yosco ]

It's wherever you created your upload directory... For example, if your absolute path to the upload directory is:

Then, that's your DIR path to the upload folder.

And your URL to the upload maybe:

Also remember to create a directory caled "upload" in the absolute path above.

it all almost works! Im fudging with

When i go to cp and select modifacations wordlets if flips me to this error message


Content-type: text/html
Software error:
syntax error at D:/webs/webdir/mydot.com/cgi-bin/cp_wordlets.cgi line 22, near "elsif" syntax error at D:/webs/webdir/mydot.com/cgi-bin/cp_wordlets.cgi line 50, near "}"


im gonna keep hacking at it like i did with who's online. I got that working,I will keep trying.Maybe i can get lil feedback on this error.

I followed the instructions to the "T" and checked and checked for something I might have missed. Here's my issue.

Everything is installed. The wordlet for the uploads doesn't show up.

The misc setting are all configured properly. I specified which forums should have the ability to upload. I cleared the cache and still nothing shows up for either the PM or in the posting.

Does anyone have a clue or am I cursed with mod-install issues?

[ June 19, 2001 03:18 PM: Message edited by: stupidboy.com ]

StupidBoy, do part 3 of mods_wordlets_install.txt in "mods_wordlets_devkit" directory, especially the ultimatebb.cgi part.

Ive installed this and re-installed it a copule times now. My problem is when I go to forum settings and click on either the yes or no radio button to allow/disallow users posts, it does not save when I update forum settings.

Also, there is not a default choice selected for this radio button, so each time I go back into the forum settings neither the yes nor the no button are selected. What step did I miss here?

I think you're missing the cp_forum.cgi part.

Thanks LK that was the fix.

New problem now
I can upload files and I can see the files in the correct directory on the server. When I click on the link in the post though, I get a file not found error. Any clues on this one?

nm guys, solved my own problem.

believe it or not, my problem was an extra illegal character which prevented the line in UBB to be read correctly.

I did have a request though. WOuld it be possible to have this file create a dir for each member who uploads so that there isn't a huge disorganized list of files in the main upload directory?

Additionally, I think it would really smooth to be able to choose between the image link being a link or an image reference so that it will show up in their posts.

[ June 20, 2001 05:32 PM: Message edited by: stupidboy.com ]

please make the code in cp_lib.cgi so that it will be compatible with urls with a tilde(~) in it. (ie. mine's http://cgi-bin.spaceports.com/~tfe/ultimatebb.cgi)

for now i have to manually put an extra "" before it so it won't give me a syntax error but it still doesn't work as it returns a 500 error when i attempt to upload. Uploading will not be a problem because I've installed Avatar hack with uploading working.

[ June 22, 2001 09:52 AM: Message edited by: Childboy ]

Alright, something changed along the way, because i just installed it and now it uploads as a number.

Now is it possible to be able to upload the picture according to the member's number who is uploading it? This would be incredibly cool and would solve the custom avatar problem. Maybe...

If this is not possible, how do i go back to uploading as the name not number?

Thanks.

*bump*

I just need the fix to make the upload to be the member's number, not a misc. number.

Anyone had an issue where the image uploads but is corrupted in the process?
Have checked the file in the destination directory and it has a slightly larger size than the original but is corrupted.
Usually the corruption in GIFs is in the form of only showing the first 15 or so pixels worth of height though all of the width. In JPGs its all over the place!
I'm using 6.04d on an NT4 Server. I'd use 6.04c if I could but its no longer available on the Infopop site.
Hope people are still reading this thread!

I installed everything, and even double checked, but when i goto the upload form, and try to upload something this is what i get

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.


Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How do i fix this? Or does anyone know what's wrong????????????PLZZZ HELP MEEEEEEEEEE

I installed your hack of upload for UBB6 in my UBB6 6.04f.

I can view the upload form and upload files successfully, but all the files sent are corrupted and cannot be viewed.

I checked the files in FTP and saw their existence, but they are corrupted.

The file I sent was smaller than what I set.
so, the size is ok.

ANyone knows why?

My problem is exactly the same as imoverick's. Just a thought but maybe its something to do with the file size limit not being correctly understood or corruption after of the file after a set amount of Kb have been read? If I upload a GIF the corruption is represented by just the first few lines of the image being displayed, however with a JPG the whole image is there just completley jumbled up. Now if the encoding of JPGs is done by defining the file size (in pixels) within the first few bytes or KB, then running the algorithm for the colors would this not correlate with the theory that somehow the upload section is just corrupting things after a set amount of Kb have been read but continuing to upload the rest of the file? Imoverick, what platform are you running? I'm on NT4 Server SP6.

dear alex
my server platform is also NT4, but don't know the exact version of SP.
Do u test it in the UNIX platform?
I like this function very much. if cannot run, i think i need to change the server.... ...

I get the same "500 Internal Server Error" as dizturbd and the others when I try to upload something...

I've checked the perl path, uploaded all the files in ASCII, chmoded the upload.cgi and upload_form.cgi to 777, checked my upload directory's path, chmoded the upload directory to 777, and on and on...I've double, triple, and quadruple-checked everything and no stone was left unturned.

This is the first hack that I've ever had ANY trouble with, and I've been adding hacks to 5.x and 6.x boards for nearly a year. It's baffling to say the least.

It seems like this thread's close to dyin' out, or at least very unlikely that it will attract much more attention. That having been said, is there anyone who could shine some light on what else might be causing these problems?

Well, I grabbed my older backed-up files and tried to install this hack from scratch again. The results...I got the same errors again.:(

Then, just on a hunch, I chmoded the upload.cgi and upload_form.cgi to 755. Guess what? The damn thing actually worked this time!

I looked back at the readme file (for the umpteenth time), and found this mistake:

ELY, you might want to change this to say 755, so others don't pull their hair out trying to get this thing to work. Other than this small error, this is a good hack.

Can someone tell me what the hell upload_file_name_dontworry is?
I see that below the text box when I've uploaded a file...

Also when I upload an illegal file format, it will say:
Illegal File Format (extension)

Shouldnt "extension" be the actual extension? (e.g. "zip") or is it suppose to be like this?

Thanks
