Hehe. I actually checked your post count later than you did. You had 942. Plus the 32 you've got now, and you're technically around 974.

Why? What code are you using for custom stats, VW peeps?

My code. heh. I didn't download any hacks or anything.

It kind of slipped my mind that your member file changes when you change your profile, so I didn't change the code there. Hence this nice little bug.


Posted by AJK on 11-29-2000 11:38 PM:

Assuming the status info is stored as an extra field in the memberfile, just set it up so that the status field is treated the same way as the permissions field is now.

Yes?

Presumably, as the hack we have at Warpstorm doesn't screw up out titles

Something like that. UBB only tracks 14 (I think) fields in the member file, so if you add a new one, you have to add the functionality to track a new number of fields. This is what the profile editing functions lack, hence the new field doesn't get re-written with everything else when the profile changes.

Why don't you ask Heretic nicely for the title hack we have?

The tiel hack we have is on 15, so you have to go and update all files to the number and set the maxfields up (I went ahead and made it 20, justing case )

as to making it customizable like AJK has, I have yet to learn how to make the profile script to update the line.

dunno now though, something on my board's fuxzored up and I don't have access to my backups, so the site's on hold the day before Nyxfall is released.

ARRGGGGHHH!!!!

I also had to update all to reflect the new number of fields.

The profile problem is pretty easy. Just add in so it reads and writes the extra line when it does the file stuff.

Even better. I wasn´t sure about the post count, but was around 930/940.


Posted by AJK on 11-30-2000 07:06 PM:

This really is an easy problem to fix...


Posted by AJK on 11-30-2000 07:53 PM:

Profile Fields:

It's easy. In ubbmisc.cgi, find

code:
sub ModifyBio


and look for a short block of code starting

code:
## Confirm UserName and Password to prevent hacking


In that section, the non-editable profile fields are assigned to variables for printing later. Just add the status field to that section, and the to the section where it reprints the file, later.

Heretic, aside from "huh?" at the above statement, I assume you are joking about increasing the profile fields number in ubb_library to 20..?

Posted by heretic on 11-30-2000 08:11 PM:

no, not the actual fields, but the $maxmemfields or whatever.

as to the profile "script"

I mean to give the user an option to change their own title in their profile.

Advice: don't have the $maxmemfields variable set any higher than the number of fields your profile files are actually using.

To have the statuses editable by users, just add an extra HTML field to the ProcessEdit subroutine and a corresponding field in the ModifyBio subroutine. S'easy, really
