First off... I love all your mods LK.

Secondly, I am using UBB 6.2.1.1 and hope to upgrade to 6.3 someday soon. However I have a lot of modifications in my board and don't really want to change anything.

My problem is that in the public_common.pl you say to look for

Code
[/code]And I don't have that.  I have 

Code
</pre></div></div>Now I have fiddled with the coding and it comes up fine when you click on the IM link.  You can select a person and type in a message but when I click on the button to send it, I get this<br><br> [code]
I don't know if this has to do with the public_common.pl but I hope to get it running soon. This would be a cool addition to my boards.

I use my board for my works intranet so there isn't a connection to it through the internet, so hopefully I have given you enough to go on. If you need me to send you the modified files, please let me know and I will get them to you.

Thanks
Tom

Variables, not that I know...
Tom, open ubb_msg.cgi. Find: "&DirExists". Replace with: "-d" (without the quotes).
gost, just use Instant Message in IM wordlets for im_link.

LK, some members noticed that the returnbutton of their browser must be pulled twice or somethimes more to return to the previous page. Another member has noticed that the IM refreshes the page and causes a sort of invisible layer over the forum. If the page is refreshing 5 times, people have to click 5 times on the returnbutton to go back to the previous page. How can i solve this?

This hack is one that I rely like
I had some problem with it. I have change some thing about it to make it run on my board.

First of all you have mentioned in im.txt
Quote
code:
Code
    
*************************
* Open public_common.pl *
*************************

Find:
=====

# Forum Home
push(@items, qq(<a href="$ULTIMATEBB" title="$vars_wordlets{forum_acronym}">$vars_wordlets{forum_home_link}</a>));

Add after:
==========

# IM
push(@items, qq(<a href="$vars_config{CGIURL}/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=msg" title="$vars_wordlets_im{im}">$vars_wordlets_im{im_link}</a>)) if ($vars_modifications{instant_message_perms} ne 'none');

I cold not find this in public_common.pl *
But I found this
code:
[qb]
Code
    
*************************
* Open ubb_lib.cgi *
*************************

Find:
=====
# Forum Home push(@items, qq(<a href="$ULTIMATEBB"><acronym title="$vars_wordlets{forum_acronym}">$vars_wordlets{forum_home_link}</acronym></a>));
Add after:
==========
# IM
push(@items, qq(<a href="$vars_config{CGIURL}/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=msg" title="$vars_wordlets_im{im}">$vars_wordlets_im{im_link}</a>)) if ($vars_modifications{instant_message_perms} ne 'none');
[/qb]
in

Code
    
*************************
* Open ubb_msg.cgi*
*************************

Find:
=====
unless (&DirExists("$vars_config{MembersPath}/popup")) {
mkdir ("$vars_config{MembersPath}/popup", 0777);
chmod(0777, "$vars_config{MembersPath}/popup");
}
replace it by
=====
unless (-e "$vars_config{MembersPath}/popup" ) {
mkdir ("$vars_config{MembersPath}/popup", 0777);
chmod(0777, "$vars_config{MembersPath}/popup");
}


==============
the header of ubb_checkmsg.cgi should be like this
==============
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI ':standard';

BEGIN { # get our modules directory set up
($0 =~ m!(.*)(\|/)[^/\]+!) && unshift(@INC, $1, "$1$2Modules");
}
use lib("./Modules", "."); # if there's no $0, or it's not sane...
use strict;
use Fcntl ':flock';
use UBBCGI qw(:cgi); # CGIPath/Modules/UBBCGI.pm
use UBBCGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser set_message); # CGIPath/Modules/UBBCGI/Carp.pm
use vars qw(@ubber $line @message $username %vars_wordlets_date %vars_wordlets_im $password $user_number @msg_profile $HTML $username @messages $HTML $random $refresh %vars_config $filehandle %vars_modifications);

require "vars_config.cgi";
require "$vars_config{CGIPath}/ubb_lib.cgi";

&RequireCode("$vars_config{CGIPath}/ubb_lib_files.cgi");
&RequireCode("$vars_config{CGIPath}/ubb_lib_time.cgi");
&RequireVars("$vars_config{VariablesPath}/vars_modifications.cgi");
&RequireVars("$vars_config{VariablesPath}/vars_wordlets_im.cgi");
&RequireVars("$vars_config{VariablesPath}/vars_wordlets_date.cgi");
&RequireCode("$vars_config{CGIPath}/ubb_lib_filehandler.cgi");
&RequireCode("$vars_config{CGIPath}/ubb_lib_filehandle.cgi");
$filehandle = new UBB::FileHandler(%vars_config);
do not asck me why I do not know why but this is how I made it work with me
thanks again for this grate hack

I installed this hack along with the modaddon hack and cleared my cache...

I can config the settings in th CP but when I go to the messageboard I am unable to locate the IM function? Nor the spell check and all the other mod that modaddon includes.

Please help.

Thanks

Is there a trick or something? I followed everything down to the last letter, is not working. I have the im link in the corner, the window pos out alright, the message " Message Sent" comes on....but that is it...nobody gets anything. should I be able to send it to myself as well? that doesnt work either.

anybody can help me out?

I am on 6.3.1.1 with:
No Mod CP Addon
PM 1.2 System installed only.- works good

PS in the LK's instructions header is said that:

Quote
quote:
* FILES MODIFIED: public_common.pl, ubb_lib_files.cgi, ultimatebb.cgi, *
* cp_common.pl, cp_wordlets.cgi, ubb_lib.cgi, ultimatebb.php *
*********************************************************************************
But following the instructions there is no file ubb_lib_files.cgi, ubb_lib.cgi, and
ultimatebb.php to modify? I dont understand.

Thanks in advance

LK, I think you've forgotten a step..
You're readme doesn't state anything about requiring vars_wordlets_im in the cp..

You know the code, but here's the fix for those that don't.. wink

In cp.cgi
FIND THIS:
Quote
code:
Code
use vars qw(

.

ADD THIS AFTER (inclusing the space):
code:
[qb]
Code
%vars_wordlets_im 
[/qb]
.

FIND THIS:
Quote
code:
Code
foreach my $file (qw(

.

ADD THIS AFTER (including the space):
code:
[qb]
Code
wordlets_im 
[/qb]
.

Upload cp.cgi to your CGI Directory, CHMOD 755, clear the cache for good measure and you're done. smile

LK, installing this and got to public_common.pl it says replace:

$Footer = qq~
~;

with

$Footer = qq~
~;

as I already have chat mod installed my
$Footer = qq~
~;
looks like:
$Footer = qq~
~;

what should I do ?

(used scr ipt instead of script as it wouldn't allow me to post this with the word script in it)
thanks

Directly After:
Quote
code:
Code
$Footer = qq~<scr ipt type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="$vars_config{CGIURL}/chat.cgi"></scr ipt><center>~;

Add This:
code:
[qb]
Code
$Footer .= qq~<scr ipt type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="$vars_config{CGIURL}/ubb_checkmsg.cgi"></scr ipt><center>~;
[/qb]
What this will do is combine the 2 bits of java script into the Footer string so they both get output when called.

Actually they're both doing the same, I suggest you to use only the ubb_checkmsg.cgi one smile

When I try to load WWB's reply hack, I get a Syntax error on Line 1. I loaded the backups in and narrowed it down to the ubb_checkmsg.cgi script. I cannot see any specific errors and I double checked the chmod. Is there anything I might be doing wrong or has anyone else tried this with different results?

Thanks for the brainwork in this, it works wonderfully in 6.3.1 and the members love it.

I am not sure if someone asked this question before but is there a way to make the IM hack work just like In UBBv5 becuase that one seemed a bit more advanced and more how you say eye catching.

popup window, tells if they are online or not. next to their name.
and if you clicked on it a popup would come up and you type in the message and send then it would popup for them and they could resend them...

I think it was a bit better then a popaleart dont you.

Well if anyone, anyone at all could help me with this I would be at most greatful.
