I really hate to be pretentious enough to actually call this 1.5c, as it really is only a few bug fixes until someone can actually fix several large bugs in it. It has been added to the database:
https://www.ubbdev.com/db/cgi/ubbcount.cgi?expath1=Forum8&expath2=&topic=000013&ty pe=&number=8

This does fix the header bug that has been talked about for a while (should look much nicer in NS now) and a tiny one with the size of the pm.gif in ubb_library2.pl.

If you have already installed pm's and haven't changed anything in them, you only need to replace the private*.cgi and private.pl files with the new ones to fix the header bug. To be more specific, only replace the cgi/pl files dated 9-10-00.

Reupload privatedelete.cgi in ascii and check the permissions on it, make sure it is 755... or better...

Well I tried it on my test board. Uploaded fine, runs fine. Couple hickups though. The redirect screens (we are now returning you) do not show the header. Also if you login thru it's built in login you see the username and password in the url line display. Possibly change "get" to "post"?
Or is this a server issue that will vary from isp to isp..?


UPDATE!! I changed "GET" to "Post" in private.pl and on my setup it worked.

In Private.pl find:



and make it:



Onward with my testing..

Okay fixed the header missing prob in private.pl

Find:


Under that add:
$Header


On further checking, the older version (1.5b) also shows username and password in the url line.. It may be petty, but this bugs me..

Thanks C_P! I added those fixes to the download plus one for the login sub where NS users didn't see the header... we might fix this one after all...

the scary thing is this is starting to make sense to me.. (UBB code) I have spent way to many hours immersed in it..LOL

Oh btw to those that created this(CYM), this is still a wonderful addition and shows a lot of work!

to this:


I found this out while trying to figure out why the login screen always got stuck in NS. It turns out it was the css, I was using which works fine for IE but seems to throw NS into what looks like a loop.

Also, in privateprefs.cgi, you may want to clean up the html from:

DzeDom,

Did you check if the path to perl in that file is set correctly?

ok actually none of the cgi's work. Trying to put the url in manually I get the same error as above. Also I am running this UBB on a Windows 2000 Server with IIS 5. I have put a few other hacks in and have had no problem

*KNOWN ERRORS*

1. Security bug, links contain login and password. Password should be masked.

2. Username bug. Files are saved as "Username.cgi", they should be saved as "Usernum.pm". This way if a user has a ~/*/- before their name, it does not cause permission problems with their messages.

3. In addition, when a user is deleted, they PM info is NOT unlinked, therefore is someone else signs up with the same name, they can view the person's un-deleted messages. Quick fix would be for Error #2.

****************

Still looking for people to fix...

In the ignore.cgi file change this:

require "cookie-lib.pl";

to this:

#require "cookie-lib.pl";

No more 500 error..

hola C_P... have you done any more work to this? I am seriously considering experimenting with adding ubb code buttons to it, adding a "select all" button, and redoing the folder lines to look like prev/ next bar, tho we really need to fix the password in the url first...

Do you know why it is there instead of handling the cookies like ubb does? Do you think it can be fixed by utilizing the sub postings.cgi uses to allow posting without usernames and passwords in the url?

Well I for one don't use the ubb buttons. My members have enough trouble editing..LOL

As for any more work on the PM, nope.. I haven't hit anymore glitches. I did however make some adjustments to fit my format. I added topmargin="0" and so on to allow the full screen layout of my UBB to work. I will also be removing the "tree" at the top like the rest of my pages, since those links are on the sidepanels.

And in case anyone thinks so, My C_P is not the "C" in the CYMPM 1.5c I'm not that talented.. Least not in perl..LOL

* Side note, the ubb buttons slow down the loading of the page if you use spellcheck.
When the net is slow, it waits to connect, then finishes loading the page.. But to be fair it did on the old hideout setup, haven't seen it do so here. Did you make some changes? I would make a version with and without, not only one with.. What is needed is the Preview hack, I never had good success with the exisitng one (java or non)..
