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

[ May 01, 2001 04:59 PM: Message edited by: Mikey ]

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 => "Upload File Form",

ELY actually meant to add it like this:

upload_link => q~Upload File Form~,

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...

[ May 01, 2001 05:08 PM: Message edited by: Canis Lupus ]

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. 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.

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.

q

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
hope

so i have seen the demo and it looks good

but mine is now installed adn i keep getting this error when i click on the upload link

MY directorys are correct
and set to the right chmod 777

But it still dont work

It works, just a few suggestions:

[*]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.

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:

Its not ready yet just a few mwssages on there id just like to get this file upload working so i can let my cutomers use it for data file uploads.

where is your uploads folder ?

I seem cant find the folder uploads or upload

I tryied to type

http://www.cytek.uk.com/cgi-bin/upload

or

http://www.cytek.uk.com/cgi-bin/uploads


you have to create uploads folder

[ May 02, 2001 05:49 PM: Message edited by: ELY_M ]

oh I found it..

http://www.cytek.uk.com/upload/

try to move your upload folder to

http://www.cytek.uk.com/cgi-bin/upload

thanks for your help
This man is fantastic

did you find anything in my scripts?
pm me on my board
i will check later

hi there,
just a few questions: i'd like to use this upload-hack just for ONE single forum, is this possible..? and: is there any possibility to upload the files to another server..? because i would like to host the ultimatebb AND the files on two different servers to avoid a 'disk quota'error due the fact that we have a limited webspace for the forum-engine...:/
best regards and this hack sounds really interesting,
chris

sound great idea to add another CP hack to specific one forum to allow file uploading
it depends if the server is allowing external linking. it is possible. you have to try it.

Nobody can help me to install the Hack in a UBB 6.0 ????

SkipperII

I did some revising the upload hack.

I moved the toggle on and off for allowing uploads in to forum settings section in the CP.

Admin should be able to allow file upload in specific forum.

I added new CP hack for allowing File uploads in private messages.

Admin should have right to decide to allow the file uploads in private messages.

Im sure that some forums want to have users private message files and others want to block that.


The upload zip is updated.

redownload it again

I hope it works better for the users now.

Now you have an option with files wich are are not allowed, but I wat something so I can specify the files which must be allowed, how??

ELY_M: Bug: it isn't shown when I add a new forum.


Fix (not tested):
you can also move CHECKED to No, if you want it to be the default one

[ May 06, 2001 06:34 AM: Message edited by: LK ]

DO not put any extenisons that you want allow


If you leave all text boxes blank. you are allowing ALL kinds of files.

If you put in exe and you are ONLY blocking all *.exe files and allowing all others kinds of files execpt .exe

LK:

LK

Edit: removed [code] because it messed the thread.

[ May 06, 2001 06:33 AM: Message edited by: LK ]

LK:

Cool idea

It look like It will work better.

I have to change the wording in the CP for allowing exact extenisons.


Thank you LK

somone fix this messed up thread please....


I re-coded the code to let "allow" files extensions instead of "block".

few new wordlets are added.

Please redownload the zip and redo the upload hack on your forum if you want the new way for the file extenisons.

Thanks to LK for ideas

It is helpful to listen to the users

I will get this installed soon on my boards.. I haven't had the time yet to take a close look at it, however I have one request.

How about instead of only being able to upload files on a particular post, create it so it's like a file upload utility. What I mean is can you modify it so that each user can access their file space through their profile where they may then upload/delete and manage their files through the web browser.. similar to free webspace such as geocities etc.

I hope you understood what I just said... and hopefully you'll go through with it, but anyway great hack.. thanks!

Bug:
There is no Upload in PM switch in Control Panel.

I forgot to add this in my instructions

it is just about cp_vars_misc.pl part in instructions.


Thanks again

the zip is updated

[ May 06, 2001 07:41 AM: Message edited by: ELY_M ]

hi ely,

nice work

but i got a little problem

the upload window shows me an error

do you have any clue why i can't see the upload window?

[ May 08, 2001 08:53 AM: Message edited by: cdr700 ]

I got 500 internal error.

I have no idea, but

you need to make sure the perl path is correct.

Which ubb files you are using on your server.

normal or local files ?


make sure you upload the upload files in ASCII mode in your ftp client.

make sure you chmmod the upload files and the upload folder to 777.

Looking good ELY_M

BTW, What happens if the user uploads .htpasswd and .htaccess files?

hi ely

i'm using normal files on my server

and i changed mod to 777 upload and the 2 cgi files

could it be that my server does not support if somebody tries to upload something??

but thanks anyways this hack is really cool
i can configure it in cp but it won't work

ok i think i need to work it out

if you got some clues plz tell me

Another thing, you can disable uploads in some forums, but if the user enters cgi-bin/upload_form.cgi, it will upload anyway; also unregistered users can upload, and I don't think I can disable it; and the same thing if I want only admins/mods.
What you can do is make it ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=upload_form (and to not make it confusing I think you should make the upload_form.cgi be ubb_upload_form.cgi and the other one ubb_upload.cgi), and then it will have all login information.
Also, when you'll do it, the CGI path will be in $vars_config{CGIPath} or something like that, so you can just make it automatically $vars_config{CGIPath}/uploads.

Now, your script doesn't work if Variables Path is different than cgi-bin; it will also be fixed after you'll do it if you'll do $vars_config{VariablesPath}.

[ May 07, 2001 10:11 AM: Message edited by: LK ]

hi again,

i found the problem

your path in upload_form.cgi

is #!/usr/bin/perl5

my is #!/usr/bin/perl


so it didn't match and i changed it and now it works

great work man

Thanks to LK again.

I added the CP hack that an Admin can decide if he or she wants to allow unregistered users to upload.

I also added some new codes and did recoding for the new topic and reply and pm forms.


The zip is updated.

ELY_M du you thing i have a chance to install it in a older Version of the UBB 6.x? I will test it but when you say no chance ..... that i don't install it!

Sorry for my English

SkipperII

Skipper II: Please read the instructions carefully. I have placed some instructions for people who want to keep older ubb versions.

I think you should upgrade your board to ubb 604d. It has more better security fixes than previous versions.

[ May 09, 2001 12:14 AM: Message edited by: ELY_M ]

Hello,

thank you i had a older File of your Upload hack! The New File Descrition for older UBB is very good! But i have one Problem all works in CP but when i save the Miscellaneous Settings, the Forum dosen't work the error is:

Any Idea?

SkipperII

[ May 10, 2001 02:55 PM: Message edited by: SkipperII ]

ELY: I think you should make that files have a random name, like a368dq46.jpg (8 random letters/numbers).

Reasons:

[*]If somebody posts something and I post another one with the sane name, it will overwrite the old one, and if it sucks they will blame the first one.

[*]Files like .htpasswd can cause a security risk, so now it will be a456f34g.htpasswd, which I think it's okay.

If you choose to do it, just make sure the file doesn't already exist, because there can be even 2 random things that are the same.


If you think it's too ugly/dumb for you, make directories by the member number, like /cgi-bin/00000001/file.ext, and guests have 00000000; but I think it's worse, because of the guests and some other reasons I forgot


LK.

@ELY_M

all the entrys of your hack in the vars_misc.cgi (After the when i Save the Settings in CP) beginn with and end with dosen't work and give this Error:

The chmod is ok!
The Perl is ok
The hack is corecked added (i hope)!

Can you help me?

SkipperII

[ May 11, 2001 02:44 PM: Message edited by: SkipperII ]

Possible big security risk?

When I specify that I want only jpg files to be uploaded, then go to post a file, such as regedit.exe, it says in the window that such a filename is not acceptable to upload, however it still uploads it to the directory.. So it wouldn't take much figuring out to upload a file and then find the url to get to it...

Ok, I changed some of the script, and seems to be working now.... here is what i did:

In upload.cgi

Find:


and move it directly under the lines:



Then find:


and replace it with:



This should make the script check the file type first, before uploading it.

As well, it will also generate a random filename so that one file upload will not overwrite one that is already in the directory.

I am pretty new at CGI, so someone may want to take a look at it..

yeah, need to add some code so the file wont be uploaded.

[ May 11, 2001 07:47 PM: Message edited by: ELY_M ]

MarkMac: Thanks for helping out with the security and file name thing.

Sorry, It took some time for me to read everything in here.

The only thing that I can see is a problem with what I did is that if someone uploads a file like joe.blow.jpg, then it will reject the file, because it thinks the file extension is .blow...... someone may be able to correct this for us tho... As I said, I am pretty green at CGI.

Cheers

@ELY_M

you have no idea to my problem with the vars_misc.cgi entrys?

Worked great, but one thing...
Can someone adjust it so that the uploads will show as avatars? I installed qusic's avatar_hack_ubb6_v0.0007, so can i make these two hacks coexist? I might have to edit the 'edit profile' somehow...
Thanks

raiyan, just make the uploads dir be the same as the avatars dir. I think it will be added automatically to the list.

I don't mean to be picky, but i need them to be uploaded as 00000012.gif or something to that effect and to have the option in the dropdown menu labeled 'uploaded avatar' and show what the user uploaded.

I have a many Hack's in my Forum and i must hack it all new or? That ist the Problem...


DerSkipper2000

Enyone have tested in a older Version?

[ May 17, 2001 11:30 AM: Message edited by: SkipperII ]

How much time does it take?
About 15 minutes... And 6.04e fixed many security issues...
If you think it will take more than 15mins, use Beyond Compare.

I can get people to upload avatars to the avatar directory, but i need basically what i said. A option in the menu for uploaded avatar and for it to be uploaded as xxxxx23.gif. I'm basically bumping this up.

and i would to have it like the 5 series version... to limit not only file size but how many files too.
the hack should create a folder for each members that upload something.

i don't want members thrash down my webspace with their pics...


anybody could make this?

I fixed the upload hack.

if the user happen to try to upload illegal format. the file wont be uploaded at all.

changed the code, so the files wont be copied over the other.

Thank to someone who posted the code.

I also added upload hack to public_edit_post.pl


Redownload the zip and read the instructions.

Hi, in your documentaion for installing this hack you refer to "public_edit_form.pl" as a file that needs to be edited. I have 6.04e and I do not see this file anywhere.

Am I missing a file or is this a typo?

Thanks,
Cobra

It's public_edit_post.pl

Thanks for pointing out to my typo in the instructions.

LK is right

I found something you left out of the hack.
This is for UBB 6.0, 6.01, 6.02, 6.03
open cp-lib.cgi
Find:
print FILE qq!FloodCheckSpan => q~$FloodCheckSpan~n!;

Replace with:
print FILE qq!FloodCheckSpan => q~$FloodCheckSpan~,n!;

Has the file been moved off Tripod I can't seem to download it.

Is this Hack available anywhere else?

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.

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

Any ideas?
