UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.1x] Calendar Hack 1.9

I think you have to add such a statement always if you output HTML from a CGI before you print anything else. Mainly on a *ix box.

LK,

Is there a fix yet when members register that checks to make sure that they input the birthday correctly? some people are inputing example 197238|no instead of 19720308|no which ends up with garbled birthday

AHHHH!!! HELP! I re-hacked to upgrade from 1.7 and now I am getting these errors in my cp... I had to hack into my member file just to log in!:

"Hack attempt logged or corrupt/altered member file found with extra fields. ('00000002')"

Anyone know what's up?

[ 11-13-2001: Message edited by: Shamrock ]

also, when I ran upgrade19.cgi, i got this:

"Content-type: text/html"

Okay in ubb_lib_files.cgi find ( my $maxmemfields ) if it reads 32 and you are getting this number try entering 55 and see if this fixes it.

LK,

Greets... I have one more question for you.

I have gotten the small calendar on my site now.. Thanks for that bit of info... But I do have a question about it...

On the webpage and if I go directly to it by ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=calendar_ssi it doesn't show my events on the small version... Is there something I need to do?

UBBDev does the same thing... you can see here https://www.ubbdev.com/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=calendar_ssi

This is what mine is also doing...

Thanks for all the help you have given me...

Tom

XNet: That's what I was afraid of, that you have to choose between Windows and UNIX.. New method for UNIX users: ubb_calendar_ssi.cgi?unix=yeah.

Get the updated zip from http://www.lkubb.dns2go.com/calendar.zip since Netirms FTP doesn't work now

I'm just going to re-edit this post so I don't take up alot of space.

LK - feel free to tell me to go screw myself if I get on your nerves.

I have one last question... with this new download that you just put up, it fixed the problem with my small calendar displaying events. However, it didn't seem to work with the ?unix=yeah statement so I fixed that by taking that new part off the content line. No big deal...

My question (like I said, you can tell me to go **** off if you want) is this. the small version of the calendar shows events but not birthday events. I noticed this on your board also. Is it hard to get it to display birthday event dates also. If so, then just ignore this.

Thanks so much for everything you have do LK. I appreciate all the help.

omegatron: make sure you have:
$in{bdaymonth} = sprintf("%0.2d", $in{bdaymonth});
$in{bdayday} = sprintf("%0.2d", $in{bdayday});

in ubb_profile.cgi.

If you do, you're probably running a pretty old version. Try:
tomjinx: it's on purpose, but if you want to modify it, take out:
if ($desc[3] =~ /<--d+-->/) {
$desc[1] = "";
} from ubb_calendar_ssi.cgi

I am running your latest calendar NOT AN OLD VERSION.

I mean an old Perl version.

Well my Perl version is 5.006

Not that old really I tried your little fix we will see if in a couple registrations we have the same problem. I will keep you posted.

LK,

Thank you for everything.

Tom

*/ tries and tries to connect to server /*

LK HELP!!!

Try again

I got it installed, and it seems to work great and bugfree so far for me.

Only 1 little thing:
There seems to be a problem in the wordlets. I have it installed on a german Board, and the line where it says "xx was born on this day xx years ago" I translated it to "xx wurde an diesem tag vor xx geboren", but it just doesnt let me change that "years ago" in the Wordlets or I rather should say it doens't show then, and of course I cleared cache and so on.

Any Suggestions?

In the wordlets file at the bottom is where years is at. The last two lines I think is years and years ago. Did you change those two lines?

Tom

Okay, solved my own problem that I originally came here with, but I'm having another.

Everything looks fine, except two things:


1) There's no line for the events of the day showing on forum pages, even though I have that option enabled.

2) Birthdays aren't showing up on the calendar.


Any ideas for where I went wrong?

Also a totally unrelated question-- when it has the option "Only Administrators and selected Members may post new events," where is it that one would select the "selected members" to give them the ability to add events?

Thanks!

[ 11-15-2001: Message edited by: redhotkitchen ]

Of course I did! At first I double and triple checked everything, but I just can't get it to change into german.

I got another problem now!

I just installed the "Stats Hack" and now all my links to the calendar are gone, I still can reach the calendar with the /ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=calendar URL but the Link at the top in the forum home and the calendar summary at the bottom in the forum home "disappeared" after I had the Stats Hack installed. As well the whole calendar Hack now is screwed up, doesn't work at all anymore!

Strange, does anybody know why, and know a fix to that?

[ 11-15-2001: Message edited by: Domain ]

In addition to the problem I stated above, I've also discovered that a newly registered user since I installed the calendar hack has her birthday showing up on the calendar, but no one else. However, her birthday in her profile is listed as 51-21-198. When you click on it, it goes to the calendar date March 20, 2005. But her birthday is listed as an event on December 1st on the calendar, and doesn't list a name of a person who added it, which leads me to believe it was automatically generated from the info in her profile.

This is getting more and more confusing.

link to the main boards page

link to the page that show\'s the girl\'s birthday on December 1 (though her profile doesn't say that)

Redhot - I just went to your board and registered. My date of birth is Nov 30 1972 and it showed up on the calendar fine...

Hummmm Did you get your problem fixed?

Tom

Alot of hacks will say find this: and then replace with: What you have to realize is that sometimes, your other hacks modifications could be within the coding that is to be erased. For example in the stats hack which I'm going to be adding this weekend, it might have your replace a section of coding that contains the $calendar and have your replace the whole string that contains coding for your links at the top of the forum. And if you have other hacks in the string of code and just replace it like the file says, then your link is gone.

The best thing I can do is tell you to zip up all the files that the calendar hack modifies and send them to me at [email protected] and I will try to find and fix your problemed areas. How's that sound...

Cool?

Tom

kitchen: 1) Rehack ubb_forum_summary.cgi

2) Rehack ubb_profile.cgi

3) CP - View/Edit Member Records

Installed without problems. Great hack !!
Two minor questions:

I just wanted to know when the "has just turned" will be used, cause I am translating into spanish
and I can´t imagine what´s the use of it.


What has to be changed in order to have the "add_birthday" wordlet before the name of the user)? I will explain: In spanish I can´t say "manuelbp´s birthday", it has to be something like "birthday of manuelbp", where "add_birthday" is before my name.

'has just turned' is like 'was born', number and 'years ago', but in Topic Page.

It's like "LK has just turned 18".

About the ''s birthday' wordlet, change ubb_profile and ubb_registration.cgi:

Instead of:
$pubname$vars_wordlets_calendar{add_birthday}

or:

$poster_name$vars_wordlets_calendar{add_birthday}, make it:

$vars_wordlets_calendar{add_birthday} $pubname

or:

$vars_wordlets_calendar{add_birthday} $poster_name

Thanks LK !!

Keeping the mentioned modifications in mind, these are the translations into spanish for whoever wants them:

LK,

I figured I would let you know this again. I tried your fix's but I have watched another ten members register and same error as before. I tried your fix as well as upload all new files and recheck all hacking. Still when some people register and do not input the month or day as 1 instead of 01 you end up with garbled birthday data. Example 197238|no instead of 19720308|no This was taken directly from member cgi file.

Problem with the hack on my board.

Everytime I go to the CP to set the settings, it gives me this error message.

You did not complete all required fields.
You did not complete: show_summary

I looked up and down and all fields are filled. I even checked all files that where hacked and everything is ok as the installing text guide said.

Does anyone know what is causing this?

Terminator, you forgot to upload the new cp_vars_calendar.pl

Well, I did and still no go, and I checked my work twice. Still only new users who've registered since I installed the calendar have their birthday showing up on the calendar (tom-- I think that's why yours shows up but old users b-days don't), and no notice of events is displaying on forum summary pages at all.

I've just registered 'LK' nick, and it looks like both problems have been solved!

[ 11-19-2001: Message edited by: LK ]

I think I'm going crazy! lol

I just saw your post and responded, but to save you going back over there... I do have the cake enabled, so I don't know why it's not showing by your name. And I've got one user who mysteriously now has her birthday showing up correctly, but no one else (including me), has theirs showing up except those few new members since I installed.

Oh yes, of course as I'm typing this, my birthday now is showing up. But it didn't before. And it didn't later. But now that you visited, and after I posted that it didn't, it does. Gah! :rolleyes: But I'm still not seeing all birthdays when I know some users have set them up (I've checked in their profiles). Still no cake either.

[ 11-19-2001: Message edited by: redhotkitchen ]

I added this hack today and followed all the instructions. I went through again and can't find anything wrong, but the Month fields aren't showing up in the calendar. My URL is:
http://www.fencing.net/cgi-bin/forum/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=calendar

Can anyone suggest why this is happening? I've gone through all the modified files and can't figure this out.

Thanks,
Craig

I dunno if this was ever posted before but I don't wanna read 10 pages.
You can change the name displayed on the calender for birthdays from the user's login name to the user's publicly displayed name like this (this is assuming u have installed the hack already): *Please backup files before modifying*


After doing this, go to your cgi-bin directory and find a file called vars_calendar_events.cgi.
Inside, for every event that is a birthday, you will see something like this:
where loginname = user's login name
change this to
where publicname = corresponding user's publicly displayed name. CAUTION: the publicly displayed name MUST BE EXACTLY AS IT APPEARS IN THEIR PROFILE!!!

Reupload all the files.

Done. Based on the code, I believe the script was suppose to put the user's publicly displayed name on the birthdays. But it doesn't seem to work. So, I had to do this. I haven't found any errors yet. But if you do find errors, please go ahead and change it back.

I hope LK or jordo doesn't mind me providing this information. If you do mind, I'll be glad to remove this pronto. Also, I guess this is just to let you know that there is something wrong with the birthday name thing.

In the mean while, everyone else, enjoy.

X: Thanks, but it already is in the hack Enter the CP and change 'use login names' to 'use public names'

C: Rehack ultimatebb.cgi, the wordlets_calendar part, and make sure you uploaded vars_wordlets_calendar.cgi to the variables directory.

[ 11-21-2001: Message edited by: LK ]

LK: yes i know it is an actual built in feature already but I tried turning that thing on. It didn't work.

For non-bday event, they DID show the publicly displayed name. However, the bday events still showed their login names. *shrug*
so my "hack" just forces it to use the publicly displayed name.

X: Not in my board...

Allen: btw, it appears like you're running an old version of calendar hack in 1 part but a new version in the other parts, there is 'add' instead of 'yes' in ubb_profile.cgi part #1. Rehack it please.

[ 11-22-2001: Message edited by: LK ]

Yes sir... We'll be moving to the xhtml files this weekend, I'll re-add everything then.

New? Damn I need to check up on news posts on here more often.

Thanks LK.
