UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V5 Mod Questions Preview-hack bugfixed!

Ok, I've managed to fix the preview bug with very long topics and the one with editing another one's message.
In fact the javascript functions are plain easier now...

If you've allready installed this hack, you'll have to replace all the javascript-functions with the one that are in my documentation

and modify the preview and submit buttons so they look like how I documented it.

aaaaa maybe not?

My Preview button - is posting !

I preview the post, close the window, then submit, when the index comes back, there are two posts!!!

I am going to go over the code again....and see if I can spot it..

? Very odd...it works perfectly for me!

Did you change the preview button to an input type="submit" instead of a input type="button"?

yes, actually I tried changing it back and made it worse.....(submit-button)

dunno

did try it 3 - 4 times ... same result....

Same problems,
sometimes its workin' sometimes its postin'. What else could it be? Ive hab also Problems that after installing this hack the Reply Subject Hack wont display ths "Re:" Statement before Reply Subject anymore!

Mas*Mind: Im not new here, i needed a long time before i decided to register *g*. So I know your fav skills in hacking the ubb , so could you please overlook the code?

thx

I finally got it working, i messed al little bit at inserting the code. Now it works!

Ok, found the bug. Did sth wrong with the icon hack...

Worked great out of the box first time on version 5.38c.

Thanks

Hi,
I have the non-java version installed.
When I preview, the preview shows the preview in the box at the top, but the text gets stripped from the text box below, and I can't post straight from the preview screen since the text is missing.

What's the fix for this?

(This started after I installed UBB Code Buttons hack)

Thanks in advance.

chances are you've just knocked a bit of code. go back to your backup (you did make one, didn't you?) and try the ubb code buttons hack again.

Just a thought

Registered just so I could say thanks for this hack !!! Worked right out of the box for me, too . . . my users and I will put it to good use!

found a bug.

When you press the close window link in the popup window it is posting the topic. Now this is only when starting a new topic.

Got a reason why? I haven't been able to fiqure it out.

Thanks cal,

I redid the preview hack. Some how some code got stripped out. I replaced it and it works fine now.

i had a problem and i solved it, so for others not to spend an hour on it this was it :

on the code

INPUT TYPE="Submit" NAME="SUBMIT" VALUE="Submit New Topic"

be sure that the first "Submit" look like this, and the second "SUBMIT" look like this.

that little mistake made me spend over an hour trying to track it down. thanks for this nice hack.

Another bug found with Netscape version 6. When you select the preview button it is posting the message with no chance for a preview.

I discovered that my board, which uses Andy Tomaka's "Formatting Messages" hack, had a problem with this script... the preview window didn't include the formatted text... adding the following code fixed that issue:

find in the PreviewForm routine:


add right after it:


That did the trick.

I'm having the same problems with the preview button submitting the post, but I think I've got it fixed... I discovered that deleting the "document.forms[0].submit();" lines out of each of the javascript headers did the trick. After parsing through the code, I really have no idea why it was in there in the first place...

I installed this hack on 5.45c and it worked like a charm! The only problem was that it called icon.gif from the icons directory, which didn't exist. (so I made one)


Awesome, and thanks!

Are you using the PullDown Message Hack from Cal...if so you need to make this change:
##
## Find:
##

$PreviewMessage= &PipeCleaner("$PreviewMessage");

$ThisIcon = qq( );

##
## Change the last line so it reads as follows:
##

$ThisIcon = qq( );

JimSomething: I was having the preview-does-post problem and what you suggested fixed it. Thanks!

I am having a problem that I see others have had. I am using 5.45b and it is posting twice when I preview. Anyone have a fix for this? It works great just need to fix this.

Fred

Worked for me with no problems on 5.45c.

Myself the same... 5.45c, first time, no issues whatsoever. My old board (Ultraboard) had a preview function and I missed it so much that I tried this, and it worked perfectly... I am 99% happy.

That other 1% has to do with the previewed message, the two right columns in the table end far before the right side of the window, I'd like to extend it out a little bit, so I'm gonna [censored] around with it for a little while tonight and see if I can make it look perfect.

If not, expect another stupid question from me asking why and how...

Could someone please post the fix? Im still having the same problems, and I know nothing about debugging that kinda stuff :

Thanks

I just installed the Java version of the preview mod on my 5.47b version of UBB

It works just fine

It does do a double post ONLY when I open the preview window, close it, and open it again. Then I will end up with a double post.

But only then.

Does anyone have a fix for the double posting problem?

Even if I just hit "Preview" it posts the message.

Thanks,
Dane
