"9.Ability to create a limited number of new folders and move PM's to them."

With admin option to limit how many PMs users can save/move to those folders, because otherwise users will abuse this feature and eatup alot of hd space...

OK, one more time from the top....


You DO NOT have to install any other modification for pm 3.0 to work, period.

As it stands right now, you will need to upload the ubbcodebuttons.pl file so you do not get any errors. You do not have to install ubb code buttons tho...

There are optional things you can install, ubb code buttons and "I'm online" being a couple, but please read the thread before you complain about the modification...

ps.. this is beta code, half of you complain because you want it in alpha version, the other half complain because it isn't in a finished version and causes errors... we'll not release alpha code, and you'll have to make the decision whether or not you want to risk installing beta code...

It is Borg's code, and he asked to not release it until more bugs are worked out of it... there are still several to go and he apparently has been busy...

We'll release as soon as it appears safe to do so...

i was able to work around the bugs i found.

BUG REPORT!

1. In the new PM 3.3 code (the one for UBB IM's borg send me), here and at my forums, i got IM's from an unknown (non existant) user named "yes" and a few from a period. (DOnt know what i mean? I got blank PM's from users named Yes and "." at my forum and here, up to 25 from them)

2. When i get an IM, and click the users name in that IM window, and send the IM, i go to planet community and get a username not found error.

Thats about it.

Now, people, please wait for the testing to be over, bugs to be fixed, and dont complain. Ok?

I personally agree with Allen and Master. Why would we want a program that has many weird bugs and possibly some security issues (not saying that I know of anything [Linked Image]?

There should be an option for administrators that would allow us to turn off the "send a PM to an email address" option, but still keep the option to receive an email when we get a PM. I know that this can be done by editing the privatesend.cgi file, but I don't personally like the send a PM through email feature anyways.

If I am browsing the bottom of a topic, and I cllick to send someone a IPM (Instant Private Message), I am magically moved to the top of the page. Feature or bug? If you're as tired as me you'll say feature!! [Linked Image]

Ca you give us a time frame for when PM 3.3 will be released? Few days, a week, more than that?

Almost everything in 3.0 works fine for me except for sending PM through email (as you can tell from an earlier post I don't like the idea newayz [Linked Image]). It sends the email and the person receives it, but instead of taking me to the page that says "#emails sent, # PMs sent. Redirecting..." my server returns an internal error. (As yes, my sendmail location and all of that are correct because UBB Friend is fully opperational.) Normal PMs are sent with no errors at all. The only time I run into the error is when I try to send a PM to an email address.

The hop-to drop down menu is also in the top left corner.. strange place.

I know that you are working hard to fix these bugs so I'm not really complaining. The general PM features work and that's what I mainly care about. But if anyone else has had these problems and can tell me how to fix them before the next version is released, please do so.

SORRY!

I read through this entire thread several times and overlooked Borg's post to d-load the script from http://www.fracturedreality.co.uk/~etb/ubb/CYMPM3b.zip Once I noticed this post, I d-loaded the updated version and everything worked! All of the errors I had previously recieved no longer existed.

Keep up the great work!

One minor issue I wandered across-
When you send PM's to multiple users and you have your signature box checked, it adds it to the message the number of times that you have for users to send the message to.
Ex:
Send one PM to 8 people, your signature is inserted 8 times in the bottom of the PM.

[Linked Image] Just thought I would bring it up...

I've also found another bug in the Signature. When the signature is auto checked, but the person doesn't have a signature, then it displays the typical
------------------ line even though there is no signature (as in an unhacked UBB).

It would be great if no line was added at the bottom if the user has no sig- like is done with Sig Hack 1.5.

Ok, major bug.

I isntalled the UBB codebuttons which I thought was needed. Everything worked fine, partially.
Now, some of my Admins and Mods and users cannot edit their own/other posts/threads. Some can edit replies, but not their original posts. I can edid my own, and others, but not initial posts.

When they click on the submit button, nothing happenes. it just sits there...

Has anyone else had/cought this bug?

Another PM Bug.
Let's say you have your PM set to limit of 20
Now send yourself/have someone send you let's say 30 PMs. See what happenes?

What I get is a loooooooong page with 10-20 spaces between each post, with the "notice"/warning messege about the limitation of posts, and this is even when the Outbox is turned off...

Flare make sure you have a folder in your cgi-bin directory name private (spelled exactaly). This problem has happend to me before and it was easily fixed by naming the folder private

The directory name should be picked up from the configuration file. If it is not then this is a bug.

My PM directory is not called private and is not in my CGI-BIN directory because it would not work until I put it somewhere else.

I do hope Borg is not hard-coding these directory names - that would be poor coding practice. Always use the config variables.

Bosss17- If you would have continued to read past page 5 you would have noticed that it has been repeatedly stated that you MUST have the UBB Code Buttons 3.5 file in your cgi bin. You don't have to install it, but you must have the file in your folder or you will not be able to write messages. There's no way to get around the issue in this version. If you have already done this, then your problem is deeper.

Glad that your script now works. Don't know why we get messages from Yes all the time, I think he goes to every site and sends out a PM [Linked Image]

Hope it gets fixed soon. I know the next version will be awesome considering all of the suggestions we've made.

Well, I installed this mod, it seems working, but only one problem: browser shows user name several times like "BobBobBob - you have no private messages".
There is no way to logout and login again.

Can you tell me what is wrong?

Most of the problems come in the fact that most of these people either don't know how to program or either don't follow directions. My first installation was a breeze and when I couldn't send a PM, I read the post that said to add UBB Code Buttons 3.5 and after that alls well. There's not really a tremendous amount of bugs, the script just needs some cleaning up at the edges.

If you don't know Perl then why even bother to hack a forum? The statement might be harsh, but it screws up the whole community and everyone's experiences are ruined if a newbie tries to hack a forum not knowing what they are doing. If you see an error in the coding, then fix it yourself! Then come back here and describe the problem and give suggestions on ways to improve it.

We're programmers, developers, some of us trained professionals. Come on guys... We shouldn't be dwelling on simple problems that could be prevented. Half of the posts in this thread are repeated over and over. If people would take time to read all of the posts then we wouldn't have to worry about all of this.

Well..I have some problems with PM 3.0 too:

- I CAN enter my inbox and I CAN edit my PM prefs, but when I click to send a PM, I get a White Screen with nothing but white [Linked Image] Same if I use the button in the threads.

And when I click the Members List button, it searches for memberlist.cgi while my memberlist is memberslist.cgi with a S in it, but if I try to enter the adress manually to my memberslist I can't get that either...so what to do ?? ..heh

TwiZteR did you happen to forget to upload the UBB Code Buttons 3.5 script to your server? You can't write messages w/o it. You don't have to install the mod, you just have to have the script on your server.
