Where can I find help on getting the Multi-Hack program to work? I am trying to enter a long string of a path into the initial setup of the program. It's asking for 'Members Directory Path' and the text I am entering into that field is causing the program to have a runtime error. Win2k.. Mult-Hack 2.0

I want to install the Reply Thread Email hack, do I really need to use this multi-hack thing?

the member's path is the relative path from the main ubb folder, say my ubb folder is at c:/forum with the ubb cgi files in the /ubbcgi folder, then usually the Members folder would be at /ubbcgi/Members - it's not the path from your cp.cgi settings... it's the path on your local pc you are doing the actual mods on.

oh! now I see the problem.

You need the files on your hard drive. I have a folder on my desktop call UBB, and inside it a cgi-bin and noncgi folder.

You set the cgi-bin to something like C:/{desktop address}/ubb/cgi-bin and have any files modified in there, and once it's done hacking them, it will put the modified files in a different folder.

I'm not that good at explaining this, so someone else could explain better.

Mike, are you trying to edit your files on your desktop pc? You should be...

If you are, then move the files to a directory a little (lot) less lengthy... say C:forum

The path on your desktop pc is the one you set in multihack. And the whole path is only for the input box on the front options screen ( C:forum ). After that, all the other paths are just relative to the main one you've setup. Members would be something like ubbcgiMembers

If you just can't figure it out, there are developers available for modification work smile

Is there a plain text version of this mod instead of using multi-hack?

Hey guys, I got the Multi-Hack program to work. Thanks.

I installed the mod and overwrote the selected files. With this mod I see the new checkbox that says "Send email when someone replies to this thread".

Question 1: How can that checkbox be set by default?
Question 2: Is this email that is sent to the user customizable? Is it in the wordlet list? What is it called? We would like to add some text to the email message and an image.

Thanks!

We're talking 2 different things, I think. Looking for a profile option to always allow email notification of any thread replied to.

hmm.. yes, maybe we are smile

In 6.7.x for any message replied to, you can check the box at the bottom of the reply page if you want email notifications. Are you wanting every topic replied to to be autmoatically set to email replies? That would drive me nuts, but I've been accused of spamming too wink

Yes, a profile check box that allows email notification of any reply to anything you post, whether it's a new topic or a reply to an existing topic. Most other forum software has this (PHP, for example) and it's tres nice and timesaving. I think it makes excellent sense, too - most of the time, you'd wanna see replies to your posts, no?

Not when I average posting in 20+ topics per day, not really. That's just me tho.

If you want it on by default for everyone, just add the checked="checked" to the ubb_newreply.cgi file, line #152

find:

value="yes" /> $vars_wordlets{email_notify}

change to:

value="yes" checked="checked" /> $vars_wordlets{email_notify}

They'll need to uncheck it if they don't want an email.

Allen,

In 6.1.1 my users could check a box in their profile, just one time, and they would always get email notification of any responses to any posts they made anywhere.

The majority of the people do not want that. Same as you. But I have a few who are threatening revolt if they do not get it back. One of them is a co-owner of the site !!! Yikes !

So, your solution here is exactly what the few want, but it is exactly the opposite of what the majority wants. Everyone was happy with the way it was in 6.1.1...

How can I set things back to the way they were in 6.1.1 ? In other words, if someone checks a box in their profile, it works for ALL of the posts they make, regardless of whether they click the box in the thread when they make the reply or not. And yet those who do not want that feature, are nor stuck with it...

Maybe implement your solution, then have a check box in the profile where people can turn off all notification ??? (Except when they click the box in the thread...) Of course, you'd have to tell me how to do the latter as well. LOL (Using kiddleygarten language.)

Allen,

Sorry, I just realized this is the UBBClassic forum.

I am using UBBThrreads 6.5.5

Same question as above. Should I start a new topic elsewhere ?

yes, please - I'd move it but there's a bug preventing that smile

I can't imagine there's a feature in 6.1.1 that's not in 6.5.5 - was that a mod you installed?
