Please help - using ubbthreads Can't Post

Hi Guys,

I have really tried hard to get the discussion link working with ubbthreads. My news site and my forum site are hosted on different servers, does this not work?



I am getting the debug error:



Content-type: text/html Error parsing story thread URL. Unable to redirect. at goforum.cgi line 385.



The link to my forum seems ok as I get a sort of non-graphical version of it, but a new thread does not get created. What am I doing wrong?

Hi ahmedwassam,

Set goforum.cgi to debug mode by setting $g{'debug'} = 1; This will show you the responses which goforum.cgi is receiving when attemptiong to post that first message. You may find something useful in there.

This is the error that UBBTHreads replies with- "The host you are trying to send the input from is not a valid host."

HA!!! Figured it out!!! Make sure in the UBBTHreads Config you disable the "Check Referer" or it will fail.



Once I disabled it everything went kosher!



Thanks again!!

Just a note too, I had them on seperate domains but it would not work, once I did the disabling and moved it onto the same domain it worked.

I think your problem is having it on seperate domains, UBBT must not like that much. Go to www.threadsdev.com and ask them if they know why, they are the UBBT experts.

LOL - we do our best ;)

If anyone has any UBBT related questions with regards to AM - let me know - I run the two side by side - with them merged in some areas. Poor health has meant that I have not developed this as much as I would have liked - but plan to in the new year.

Fire away with any questions.

Sorry! I hope I didnt offend, I was inferring it was a UBBT problem not the goforum script.

Do you know why it wont work if on seperate domains? I have both domains on the same server even and still no joy.

Also, any idea how to make the script parse to categories based on the AM cats?



Thanks alot!

No not at all - I am not sure oif the referrer issue is a UBBT fault - software firewalls also have a problem with it, but a simple configuration change will make them work with UBBT - I do not use the referrer - so have never had any issues with it - when I did the intitial testing with the guys here, the referrer was turned off, so of course it did not crop up, and therefore did not need to be worked around. I am sure it can be altered in the script, as after all it is being referred from the same server.

I had no problems in getting it to run - I did modify it however (after it was working out of the box), before disabling it, due to it being abused by idiots :(

Which version of UBBT? Do you have any mods installed - or is it a clean copy?

As far as the categories are concerned - I added the following code...


Code
     # remove HTML for record data if requested 
if ($g{'remove_html'}) { foreach (sort keys %rec) { $rec{$_} =~ s/<[^>]*>//gs; }} if ($rec{'cat'} == 14) { $g{'forum_board'} = 'UBB21';}
if ($rec{'cat'} == 14) { $g{'forum_cat'} = '1';}
if ($rec{'cat'} == 27) { $g{'forum_board'} = 'UBB20';}
if ($rec{'cat'} == 27) { $g{'forum_cat'} = '2';}
if ($rec{'cat'} == 26) { $g{'forum_board'} = 'UBB3';}
if ($rec{'cat'} == 26) { $g{'forum_cat'} = '3';}
if ($rec{'cat'} == 29) { $g{'forum_board'} = 'UBB22';}
if ($rec{'cat'} == 28) { $g{'forum_cat'} = '4';}
if ($rec{'cat'} == 28) { $g{'forum_board'} = 'UBB23';}
if ($rec{'cat'} == 29) { $g{'forum_cat'} = '5';}
if ($rec{'cat'} == 30) { $g{'forum_board'} = 'UBB35';}
if ($rec{'cat'} == 30) { $g{'forum_cat'} = '34';}



These categories were left over from the UBB days, so hence their names.

Hope that helps,

Ian

Re: [canvey] Please help - using ubbthreads [In reply to] Can't Post

Greeat thanks!!



I use 6.2br2 right now.



So if I use that code, what do I use for the variables at the top?


Code
  $g{'forum_num'}    = 5;                   # forum number to create thread in 
$g{'forum_board'} = 'TGBGENDISC'; # board name, ubbthreads and UBB only
$g{'forum_cat'} = '2'; # category, ubbthreads only


Thanks alot!!!!

Just use the standard news forum, the code above will overwrite it anyway.
