I haven't looked at this all too much, but I find it almost unbelievable that you have to have a copy of the .js file in the same directory as each page that uses the script.

Why can't you just do something like this:

<script language="JavaScript1.2" src="http://www.yoursite.com/sample_data.js"></script>

??

That's fine for the sample_data.js file (This is the one that you have to change anyway) … but the other one: dqm_script.js – you can't do that with… not sure why.

If you figure out another way, let me know! The file duplication is a pain… but at least it's not the one with all the customization in it.

That's terribly odd. I've had it up to my eyes in DHTML though, so I'm not sure I'll be fooling around with it for a while.

Bea, the site you referenced has this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/common/js/dqm_script.js"></script>

So maybe it does work and there's aworkaround? Maybe there's something in that file that needs to be changed? ::tries to check::

I can't figure it out. I don't see any difference in the bea js file and the packaged one.

I still think there must be a way. Maybe if you just use the relative path instead of absolute?

<b>Jennifer,</b>

I checked out the menu on opencube but I didn't see a free menu. I guess maybe they're charging for it now? I'm using it but when you put it on the web it says it's not registered. If they have a free one do you mind posting the link?

Thanks,
Jason

Yeah, I know… they ARE charging for all of them now. What I've been using now instead is a script that's even better than that one that is a default one that comes with Macromedia Dreamweaver. (I'm using it on this site actually). It's not pretty/packaged up code – but with dreamweaver they give you a UI to create/edit it.

Ok I will check out DreamWeaver. Thanks for your help.

Just to show you b/c I think this is rather tricky, and I am impressed with it:

In the loader code there is this:

function q28() {
ca=new Array(97,108,…,49,41);
ct=new Array(69,114,…,109,41);
netscape1="";
ie1="";
for(i=0;i

What would be funny is if you bought it, they just told you to delete that section of scripting . . .

10 | Shhhhh

November 24th, 2003 at 6:39 am

Thanks Anonymouse for the awesome tip.

If you do a Google search on tdqm_loader.js , you find tons of sites using their script, with most using the default filenames. Furthermore, most don't even have their script directories protected or in their robots.txt to /disallow spider indexing.

I certainly wouldn't want to have my pants hanging down with all that stuff showing.

So if you are going to remove the eval statement, at least go to the trouble of hiding things a bit and rename files away from the defaults 😉

Ive looked up other tdqm_loader.js files on other sites and they are the exact same file as mine. So what exactly am i suppost to change, someone please, please help me, thanks . . .

If you want to turn off the registration check, there is another way:

In the tdqm_loader.js, find the following string:
if(q71==eval(c1+"o"+d1+"e"+i))return true;}}return false;}

replace it with the following:
if(q71==eval(c1+"o"+d1+"e"+i))return true;}}return true;}
and Voila!

lol before i figured out that they used ints to display the alert i was actually picking through each .js file for 10 min searching for "Unregistered OpenCube blah blah blah…". I too took out the ie ref. totally missed the return false part. way easier.

if(q71==eval(c1+"o"+d1+"e"+i))return true;}}return false;}

replace it with the following:
if(q71==eval(c1+"o"+d1+"e"+i))return true;}}return true;}

In the tdqm_loader.js, find the following string:

replace it with the following:
if(q71==eval(c1+"o"+d1+"e"+i))return true;}}return true;}

—–When you follow those steps, does it make it so that you can use the software for free, or do you still have to type in the registration code to do that?

Perm: I think you may be forgetting the bracket { before the if statement in the following string:

if(q71==eval(c1+"o"+d1+"e"+i))return true;}}return true;}

I did the same thing– may want to double check.

October 22nd, 2004 at 11:02 am

I thought everyone might want to know how to "fix" the unlock issue with the new opencube navstudio. So here it is.

They changed up much of the code to try and throw people off. But getting rid of the alert box is easier than ever.

The first step is to remove the function vqp_error(val){alert(val)} code from your html page.

This will cause the alert window to stop but you will get an error in the script. Though the script will work fine at this point, who really wants script errors?

So the second part is to go into each one of the pbrowser_xx.js files and delete this section of the code:

if((window[cmm[1]]+"").indexOf(cm0)+1)vqp_error(cm+cm0+cm1);

Now your script works without errors and no alert window.

Just FYI, I would recommend that if you plan on using this "fix" on a live site without getting an actual unlock license from opencube that you rid the code of excess ASCII references (talked about previously in this thread) and change the code up a bit. By change I mean, renaming functions, taking all references of opencube out, removing all comments, or adding extra characters in certain parts of the code.

Why go through the trouble you ask? Both Milonic and UDM4 have some kind of search engine that reads code off of .js files to check for illegal copies. You can bet that opencube has the same capability. I have no idea what the search parameters would be but you can guess by looking at their code that it is bound to be something sneaky.

November 4th, 2004 at 1:29 pm

Hi all,

In the new version 2005 you do as above but move only vqp_error(cm+cm0+cm1); from the pbrowser_xx.js files

30 | Menu_maven

November 16th, 2004 at 7:11 pm

In the new version 2005 the only pbrowser_xx.js file where the vqp_error() function appears is the "IE" file. In fact, in the FAQ section of opencube's Web site, they even tell you that the only browser version that will produce the alert-register window is the IE version. (They practically give away the fix, because even if you don't know what the source of the error is, you can merely copy over the "iemac" browser version to substitute for the "ie" version and the pop-up window disappears – very strange that they would give this away.)

Apparently, even in local mode, the menu will not appear if you eliminate the vqp_error() function from the HTML page that calls it up.

31 | Menu_maven

November 16th, 2004 at 7:56 pm

Sorry, my mistake: if you eliminate the vqp_error() function from the HTML page CORRECTLY (I hadn't), the menu still displays.

Reply to #32!

Ok Gary,
Get off your high-horse and open your eyes. The cost of this program is anything but inexpensive. For the same price I could buy a new graphics card, an Xbox, etc…. At least when buying those things I would get to use it more than once.

Average web sites do not change their navigation structure more than once every few years. Can you seriously say that paying a few hundred bucks for something that will become obsolite by the time your next redesign comes around is OK???

Also, The engineering behind the program is anything but cutting edge. It's Javascript for God's sake! I can see spending up to 30 or 40 bucks for it but beyond that no freakin way.

Lay off the crack and join the rest of us in the real world.

March 29th, 2005 at 12:24 pm

The problem with Aussiemnam's (item 38) trump of the alert function is that it can trump all alerts.

How about this instead – same idea and really really easy,
trump only their (opencube's) function.

In YOUR html/asp what ever, put after

<–** END NAVSTUDiO MENU TAGS**–>
<script language="Javascript">
function vqp_error(){}
</script>

this way you don't loose your alerts, and you don't need to worry about redoing changes to cubes js code when you rebuild the menus…
try it – it worked perfect for me.

let me know how it worked for you.

And i don't think this is stealing
i needed a this to work cleanly for a demo before paying the $s. 30 day trial would be nice.

And yes it's just javascipt why the hell so many $s for this? they're just asking people to take it.

I like it otherwise i wouldn't try using it but it could use a bit of more work…
for one, why no scripting (ok no single quote delimiters) in menu selections?
I got other problem with it too but don't want to bore – too late?

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

This is the code I entered in my webpage for the menu (mainMenu.js is the file that generates the menu I just saved it in this name). But if u have files in different directory where u wanna use the menu this code wont work. Because of this part …

vqp_uid0=250797>cdd__codebase = "";cdd__codebase250797 = "";

and this part …

src="mainMenu.js"

U can fix the second part by using absolute path like src="http://www.yourSite.com/mainMenu.js"

Now if u have a folder named "ANYTHING" in ur main directory …… u have to change the first part of code like this in the files in that directory ….

vqp_uid0=250797>cdd__codebase = "../";cdd__codebase250797 = "../";

U can also do this by adding the menu manually in NavStudio 2005 ( go to File > Manual Insert ) for every page

I'm sure tht all of u ppl know these things. I just wrote it for ppl who doesn't know coding like me

45 | Cross-Frames?

April 21st, 2005 at 10:14 pm

Is there a way to edit the Content.js file (the main data javascript file–or whatever you want to name it) to display submenu items in a seperate frame (on a frames page)? I know how to call the URLs in the "main" frame from the "content" frame (where the menu resides), but as for displaying the submenu items…. I have done some research, so I know that it is possible to call seperate javascript files (one for the content page and one on each page in the 'main' frame, excuse the pun). I would also tend to gravitate towards editing the one Content.js javascript file to just display the submenu items in the 'main' frame (there I go again) Something like parent.main.______ in the Content.js javascript file. Any comments/Suggestions as to how I would accomplish this? -Thanks-

This small piece of code

Works awesome. BUT, we all know that the popup is not in any of the .js files. That means the script requests another .js file from the opencube servers. So what if, they look at some of the websites that are requesting to display the free popup. Theyll see that the site isent actually displaying it.

It would be a lot safer and better if, someone found out how to actually change the included .js files to NOT contact the opencube servers. My guess is, that its encrypted, or an IP, so its not easy to find in the pbrowser_ie.js

It has to be in there, because thats the only script that displays the popup/loads the popup script from the opencube servers. Alright enough said, someone find the part that loads the popup from their servers, and post it here.

Quick comment to – antiochs Question-
Am I likely to run into problems using this long term? I don't think so but who knows the future, maybe? – I never intended to go live with it except in a pinch temporally.

Comment to Noober Brown

Regarding your statement – “we all know that the popup is not in any of the .js files. That means the script requests another .js file from the opencube servers.”
I don’t know about that – if the popup is in or reference by the function vqp_error() then
Adding function vqp_error(){} should short curcuit that possibly.

By now I have spent more time commenting about opencube, then cracking it – so what do I know… but,
– An easy way to check your theory – disconnect from internet, and run on a local host only. If no time out or waiting (which I suspect) then must only reference local scripts… –and no worries mate-

I’m sure there are other ways for this E.T. to phone home so to be really really sure – turn a network traffic monitor on and look for the extra traffic)

If they really were to call the opencube server from my LIVE customers browsers with out clearly informing the developers about it, APOX on them!!! And no one should ever use their software again Pay or not! (FYI – I don’t intend to go live with it)

I don’t have time to check these things myself – I figured out how to get what I need out of it for now (a clean demo without paying) and just thought I’d pass it along to anyone it might help.
