Awesome! I'll install this after I get some weird things on my UBB fixed...

~Jon

Me too, I think I'll start a UD forum etc. on my forum again.

Yeah... get rid of the weird things before adding more weird things.

Awesome, I'm installing it right now. You instructions refer to public_common.cgi as one of the modified files. It does point to the templates directory but it still might confuse some people.

Thanks for this hack, it's for a fantastic cause.

This appears to be missing from the vars_udst.cgi

$vars_udst{RankImgURL}

To fix it add this...

in cp_vars_udst.pl

find;

&RegField("Absolute Path: Rank Image Directory", "RankImgPath", "yes", "45", "120", "Typically this would be your UBB's NonCGIPath/UDRanks.", "$vars_udst{RankImgPath}");

after add;

&RegField("URL: Rank Image Directory", "RankImgURL", "yes", "45", "120", "Typically this would be your UBB's NonCGIURL/UDRanks.", "$vars_udst{RankImgURL}");

in vars_udst.cgi

find;

q!RankImgPath! => q!D:/Inetpub/wwwroot/devubb/noncgi/UDRanks!,

After add;

q!RankImgURL! => q!http://url.to.your/noncgi/UDRanks!,

Well, now the rank shows up in the CP for the member but in the members page the rank is a red x. If I look at the properties for the image the name is missing...I.E. I get the.url.com/noncgi/UDRanks/ and the .gif name is missing.

Pardon me for spamming this thread up but if I go to the UD members page and click on the UD members number it takes me to an error page saying that the member doesn't exist. I'm parsing through the code for a fix but I'm not a coder so it may take me awhile.

Okay, in public_subteam.pl...

find;



and replace with;



This will show the rank image on the UD members page.

Okay, two more things then I'll shut up;

1. when you enter the UBB member number you have to include the 0's or it won't link properly fron the UD members page and you have to clear the cache after updating a UD member in the CP or the changes don't show up.

I'm sorry about so many posts in this thread but I didn't know how else to get all these points across.

I can't understand what does this name="rankimg" thing mean

Anyhow, about 0's, instead just use &Do8Digit($variable)

Without that the image is a red x, and I found that code in one of his cp templates and it fixed it.

Yes! Finally, thanks for the great hack Idle... I think I'll wait till all the coding's cleared up before it use it...

Okay, after looking through more of the code can I offer some suggestions?

I don't think having the members UBB "number" on the UD team page makes very much sense. It seems that it would be better to have the persons public displayed name with a link to their profile.

How hard would it be to have this use a member file field so that the persons profile would be updated automatically and would show the haxxor gif?

And lastly, how about modifying it so that the topic page would automatically show the haxxor avatar under the members title?

If all of this could happen just by adding the member to the subteam via the control panel that would be great.

Just noticed, your missing a few "light" images. Most I see are dark.

I will install when code is fixed also.

Actually, the dark images are missing since they mostly all have dark text for light backgrounds. Hopefully we'll get an update soon.

Yeah, I really want this hack now.

*Waits*

Howdy everyone and thanks for the feedback!

My hard drive went to Hell on thursday morning, and I've been busy getting my things back in order since then.
So, excuse the lack of replies 'n stuff.

I'll have a look at this tomorrow, and hopefully fix everything mentioned in this thread and even add some of your nice suggestions.

You are truly 1337...thanks in advance for putting your time into this.

Agreed with TheX. This hack will be a success with the sub-teams.

If it can (we know it can) be modified to give the avatars, modify the members files, etc. then it might spark more interest in forming subteams.

Like the 6.2 version. Isn't that part of this one too?

Idle, any plans on a mhk? With the fixes, of course.

~Jon

Eh, can someone please port it into 6.1??? Thanks

I think I may just put the 6.2 one in (Like whats on UBBDev) Thats what I want.

Was there already a mod like this available for the 6.2.x series?

JonNJapan: No plans on MultiHack, I barely have enough time to support the text instructions, beside how much I fear MHK, sorry.

Sean: I might port it once I've sorted out all the glitches and eh... "random features", eheh.

Yeah, it's called Admin Set Picture.

This hack is more than Admin Set Picture... It also allows export of HTML which (in theory) allows for easy updates for your Sub-team's team pages, if you have them (example: http://www.iphq.co.uk/teamiphq )

Idle: If you want to link to the MHP I made (linked to earlier on in this thread), go ahead

Well if it's more maybe he can incorpirate the two hacks into one.

I still think this is going to boost subteams by making it easy to implement.

I've fixed most of the bugs I've noticed so far, and those you've reported here.
Give me a day or two more before I update the files though, I'm literally drowning in work. :rolleyes:

Oh, and I'll have a look at that "Admin set picture" mod.

If your busy I can do the admin set picture and just give it to you, it's not that hard. Actually I'm sure it will work on 6.3 with no port.

Update! Phew...

I must've been sleeping when I wrote the cp_ud.cgi file, haven't seen such mess in a long time.
Cleaned up various parts, fixed others, minor changes here and there, etc.

If you're using the previous release, you'll probably get away with re-doing the cp_lib.cgi steps, and overwriting the previous files added by the mod.
-----------

Lord Dexter: I had a look at the admin set picture stuff. Can't say I'm really interested, but I got another idea to accomplish the same thing, which doesn't require as much editing of other UBB files, and wouldn't cause annoying profile problems when upgrading (in case of added/deleted profile fields and such).

I'll have a better look at it in a day or two.

I am probably just being stupid here. But what is a "UD Team"? I installed the hack, but cannot seem to find out why I need it. It is possible that I do not, but I do not even know what a UD Team is?

It is the United Devices subteam manager. It is the "help fight cancer" team that UBBDev has here, and you can find just under the announcements on the forum summary.

<----haxxor avatar.

Hmmmmmm Maybe this will work on 6.1. I will check.

Okay, I had to change things alittle but I'm uploading for 6.1 now. I'll give u the link in a minute.

The final Product does not work. http://doublebassist.netfirms.com/images/hack.gif thats a screenshot! This is what the UBB looked like before and after I fixed it. Go to http://snow.prohosting.com/gta3ps2/cgi-bin/bb/cgi/ultimatebb.cgi . Hey that was a fun experiment!
