Shoutouts: Gizzy for the gfx and inspiration

I make the GFX and force you to make it and no shouts? lol

I get 2 Errors!

1. The hack will not safe the profilfield "68" at my user.cgi (00000001.cgi) at the members directory

2. When I klick at my name I get the following:

(RequireCodeNoINC) NonCGIPath/Templates/public_display_profile.pl: Global symbol "$gender_display" requires explicit package name at NonCGIPath/Templates/public_display_profile.pl line 214.
Compilation failed in require at CGIPath/ubb_lib.cgi line 930.

What can I do?

My Board:

http://www.d-talk.tv/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

1) make sure you made the change in ubb_lib.cgi
$vars_config{'MaxMemFields'} = 43;

->

$vars_config{'MaxMemFields'} = 71;

(Make sure the modified ubb_lib.cgi is uploaded

).

2) The main thing is to make sure

my $profile_display = "";

appears above the added information in public_display_profile.pl. If this is added then tell me.

Hi Brett,

that the code at public_display_profile.pl

Code

$user_profile[7] &#0124;&#0124;= 0;
my $profile_display = "";
	if($user_profile[68] eq '1' &#0124;&#0124; $user_profile[68] eq '2') {
		my $img = 'female.gif';
		if($user_profile[68] eq '2') {$img = 'male.gif'}
		$profile_display = qq!
<tr bgcolor="$vars_style{AltColumnColor1}">
<td valign="top">
<font size="$vars_style{TextSize}" face="$vars_style{FontFace}">
<b>$vars_wordlets_mods{'gender-_-title'}</b>
</font>
</td>
<td>
<font size="$vars_style{TextSize}" face="$vars_style{FontFace}">
<img src="$vars_config{NonCGIURL}/$img" alt="$vars_wordlets_mods{'gender-_-opt_$user_profile[68]'}" />
</font>
</td>
</tr>!;
	} # end gender

ubb_lib.cgi is correct I think

oh my, i just found the reason why it's giving you the error. Change $gender_display to $profile_display

you probably have ubb_lib correct, but could i have you just reupload it, just to make sure?

(Zip file updated per typo above)

Hehe, were can I find $gender_display??

Sorry, public_display_profile.pl

Hey Brett, why not wordlet the locations of male.gif and female.gif so users can point them to other locations?

Hi Brett,

the profilpage now works, but if I go to my profile edit gender to male and safe nothing happends! It will not be safed, what can I do...

In ubb_profile.cgi

Instead of:

Code

######## 
# find #
######## 

	&WriteMemberProfile($user_number, @user_profile);

#############
# add ABOVE #
#############

	$user_profile[68] = $in{gender};

do

Code

###############################
# find THE SECOND INSTANCE OF #
###############################

	&WriteMemberProfile($user_number, @user_profile);

#############
# add ABOVE #
#############

	$user_profile[68] = $in{gender};

Thank you Ian! Now it works!

would this work on 6.3.1.1?

Thank you

nope

upgrade

..

I am afraid...

is not the money. its all the modifications I have in there, scared sheetless** that I wont make them work again.

hey Ian, can you give it a try for 6.3.1.1 ?

where would I get a 6.3.1.1 zip without any violations of the license agreement.

Upgrade

Ian, according to Ted, so long as you own a current license you can request back copies (according to what he told me on the last chat I was on)

s/current license/current member area subscription/ for a more accurate phrase.

Ok, so I'm right then? If you have a current member access sub you can request past versions from members?

I'm asking cas I was talkin to ted about acient versions and he said to ask on UBBDev :x...

http://www.lkworld.com/OldBB/BBlogin.html

oooh! then I want 1.5 like LK!

ya didn't even register

LK, can I have your 1.5

...

Code

########################################################
###Open ubb_registration.cgi
########################################################

######## 
# find #
######## 

	&WriteMemberProfile($next_number, @thismemarray);

##############
# add BEFORE #
##############

	$thismearray[68] = $in{gender};

spews out an error for new registrations.

Also, I want to require this option through "Profile Settings" if I remove the option to select none, how would I go about this?

Also, for some reason my gender won't show via my profile... care to take a look?

change it to $thismemarray[68]

MEM, not ME

<- made the mistake many times

Well then, that solved the registration page error... Now why doesn't gender show in the profile?

Updated zip file on ubb_registeration typo.

Gizzy's issue was that, as Ian said earlier. The modification in ubb_profile, needs to go before the second WriteMemberProfile line.

yeh yeh, I figured since I DL'd the mod directly from your site today that it'd be updated

...

Hi,
would this work on 6.7.2?

Any 6.7 mod should work just fine on its bugfix releases (6.7.0-6.7.2)
