Upload to your ubb cgi folder and set permissions to 755.

You can use Content Islands to fill out the center where it says:

HTML GOES HERE

Good luck

testing and so far so good after I added parts for the wordlet mod and the colorforums.

I know this isn't technically where it should go, but you wouldn't know how to include http://www.alforadmin.com/ubb/ubbnews.php?forum=10&threads=5 into the page, would you? I know how to do it in php pages, but not cgi/html pages

hmmm... you should be able to include it there like any other file, I think I've included cgi pages into php pages, but haven't tried the other way yet

zip file updated so that you can now place the file in any directory you can run cgi scripts in:

https://ubbdev.com/index.cgi

There's a bug with the mainbuttons links tho


You'll need to set 2 paths toward the top where it says :

/path/to

yeah, how to we fix those upper menu errors?

find:

change to

Thanks Al, that fixed it

Zip updated with latest files, you'll need to edit lines #9 and 19 with your ubb cgi-bin paths

Um, Allen? When I unzipped the zip file, I only found the index.cgi file ... nothing else ...

lol, that's all you get!

just for info, the pm notification does not seem to work on the index.cgi.

Really? I guess the way I read the first file, there was more.

Okay.

How about some instructions, then.

Remember, I's an idgit when it comes to code!

For example, Allen said something about modifying this line:

and this line

---

Let's say we were doing this for ubbdev.com ... how would those two lines appear?

AND, are there any other lines that need to be altered?

$UBBPath = '/your/ubb/ubbcgi';

$ubbpath should be equal to your $vars_config{CGIPath}

use lib("/your/ubb//ubbcgi/Modules", ".");

should be

$vars_config{CGIPath}/Modules

so just open vars_config and update those lines accordingly

I'm looking for an easy means of making a members-only list of services and this mod looks to be my best bet?

Can I make this script require login?

Can I safely change to the filename from index.cgi to something else (like services.cgi)?

Yes to both I'm at work right now, but &RequireLogin or something like it toward the top will make it members-only

tried to install this a couple of times but without success. I receive everytime an internal server error.

First time checked error log and it said "file has no execute permission", after that chmod file to 755 and error that error no longer appears in error log, but internal server error still remains.

what could it be?

how hard would it be to add recent visitors tracking to this script?

to show recent visitors on it or show those who are viewing it?

to show me those who are viewing it.

fwiw - i built a custom script from this like u suggested me once, and sits under my RSS Feeds Index. non login required demo here:

http://dragboatalley.com/cgi-bin/webfeeds.cgi?id=2

and now i'd like to see in my recent visitors admin view who's looking at my webfeeds.cgi stuff?

hmm.... I think LK added recent visitors to his calendar, I'll need to check it out

tks allen - i was trying to glean it out of the integrated games mod on my own, but i just couldnt seem to noodle in on the right bit

that one too
