UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.0x] Sticky Threads for 6.xx V1.5

Wow..that is a good idea Tek....if someone can do that let me know!!!! I want that way!

well you can just change the wordlet to an image...but if you want to make it change the folder graphic thats fine - its not really possible to do it for the temporary bumps, but for the perm bumps it could be cool...

I've been using this hack for a week or so and it's very handy!

I only see one thing that came up that may or may not be my fault.

When a user replies to a "sticky" post, the New Topic/New Post folder icon doesn't change, just stays as the Old Topic/Post folder. Unfortunately, this makes it look like no one has replied or added to the thread.

I realize that it DOES turn the posting icon on in the front page, and the hack for show last reply in threads does show up properly. But my users are the type to look for the RED FOLDER, stating new post and have been vocal about this not showing up. hehe

Ideas?

My board link is here .

Thanks all,

Chris

-- Thats it

Greetings

thanks section, instructions updated.

im looking into the problems with topics not properly showing up as newly replied to.

the download link won't work for me....it just opens a new blank window

The link worked for me...
a white/blank page opened up for me, but then 5 seconds later the 'save file' message popped up....

i dunno about the link, i DLed it earlier, but the hack works great as far as i can see. i alreayd have made good use of it

Is there any way it can change the date? We're using it for updates but if we edit a post and bump it up it does not show on the main page - the last dated post does. If visitors don't see it listed then they aren't going to know it's there.

exactly how is this poll program supposed to work?

i have looked at the pics on Jordo's site but that is not what is showing up when i add this mod

zips updated with fix for the "new reply icon not showing up right" bug. to fix it rehack ubb_forum.cgi, as that is the only file for which the instructions have changed. enjoy.


CaCoffin - this thread is for sticky threads, not polls. pm me if you want to report bugs/problems with the polls.

I just re-did this hack to fix that issue and it works great!

Thanks Jordo! Keep up the great work.

Chris

umm, kennyp, i think you want to post that in the whos online thread...

works well, and thanks for the white-text icons ramprage

I love this hack jordo. This one of the few things that I seen on a "competing" bulletin board software.. I just said the other day I wish UBB had that... sure enough I find out someone has coded it

Now for my question.

I am using an html img tag instead of "sticky" so I have an image for sticky topics. How hard would it be to make a different image for the different sticky states?

Sticky - Done using an image
Locked/Perm Sticky - ?
Temp/Bump - Sticky - ?

Also this is unrelated to your hack but may benefit any future versions. Add the different sticky icons to the forum legend as well

I truly appreciate the effort you put into this hack. Thank you.

I've installed the hack but...

Now my first 3 private forums no problem. Then in the first 5 public forums the topic counter is reset to zero. the last 2 public forums are ok. Why is this???

digitalpdx - the locked/perm graphic modification would be relativly easy. ill take a look sometime. it isnt possible to have a graphic (ok well it is possible but it would require a lot of additions) for the temp bump, because the temp bump updates a file that is usually only updated when you post, but since it isnt a seperate routine you cant differentiate the posts that have been temp bumped (if that makes any sense, im having problems typing coherently ).

Coffee - this happens right after you have installed it before bumping or topping any threads? what other hacks do you have installed?

Got it working now, must be a typo of my side, sorry.

Great was looking a long time for this. THANX

Hmmm, I must have messed some darn thing up. I can see it in my Control Panel's style settings, but not on the board...

Check your public_topic_page.pl and see if the variable is in there. (Or, all the code needed in that file)

That was definately part of it. I think I copied back up my original files instead of the modified ones. Stupid brain fart!

Hmmm...when Iclick on "top topic," I just get a blank screen. I've rechecked all the files and they seem good.

Found the problem: I hadn't loaded public_top_topic.pl to templates. Clean hack, just user error installing it.

Thanks for the help.

No prob.

I know this topic is kind of old, but I just got around to start hacking my board some more (boredom hits). Whenever I installed this, it worked fine. The only problem is that whenever I edit my style templates to imput the top_topic.gif and detop_topic.gif, something happends and it doesn't save them. Whenever I go back it's blank again, so I can't get the images to show up. ;_; Can anyone help me?

Edit:: okay, I just looked at page seven and I found two other people (DBZFanCentral.com, khanhdom) who are/were having the same problem as me. I already made sure everything was in the right directory and when I right clicked, the properties was "http://[insert my friend's domain here]/ubb601/ubb/" which is the NONCGIURL.
