looks great! but why is Final Like *Final*?

I use the avatar_hack_ubb6_v0.0006 and it works perfect on my ubb6.03,is it importent for me to upgrade to the final?

Do i need to instal the final version before i try to upgrade to ubb6.04a?

And Thanks for this great hack !!

sweet, any chance of a script hack wazard thing?

^^

easy to install and works really nice, thank you!

If using previous version of Avatar Hack, it's best to upgrade to this version if you're using v6.04a; it fixes a cosmetic error with AvatarList.

*FINAL* is used to emphase _Final_.

qasic

Hey qasic, thank ya for the upgrade.

I've got the script installed perfect but the wordlets are in FRENCH! EEK! And Babel the fish @ AltaVista translate doesn't translate it to english very well.

Any chance of just changing the one file to print english?

Thanks in advance for your response!

Let's just put it bluntly ....

The docs have the English wordlets. Obviously, you haven't read them

qasic

Obviously I'm a little girl that hasn't learned to read yet.

Duely noted... Thanks.

hey
qasic i used your version 6 hack on UBB 6.01 and it worked perfectly, but now ive done a clean 6.04a install and put your version 7 final on...CP works, field shows up and works in profile/reg... etc..but for some reason in the display in posts all my posts dont show the avatar.. the $this_img is in public_topic_page.pl and it doesnt show..
it just shows members name and right underneath it says "Administrator"...but no avatar or space where avatar should be.
ive got it Enabled. haven't the slighest clue why

My bet is you forget the following lines in public_topic_page.pl:

Is that in there?

hello need help plz

could you put an upgrade txt in your rar.file plz

i have v6 running on a v6.03 ubb

could you make up a txt for upgradeing v6 to v7 plz

tnx in advance.............

Having a problem with the Choosing an Avatar in Registration/Edit Profile.

The pull down does not change the picture.

On Edit profile it will show the previously chosen picture but the pull down says none, so if users do not see that and hit enter, they will end up with no avatar.

Board is now 6.04a with the following mods:

-Stars/ Status 4.53
- Avatar .0007
- Aim
- Last Reply
- Who's Online

It functioned fine before and if you can think of a file that needs a different permission, etc. because they were all checked.

Thanks in advance for your help.

V2k, no upgrade doc sorry. There were so many minor changes that I've lost tryack of them.

BluePrint, it looks like the problem is that the Avatar Directory is not specifies correctly in your settings. Is it correct?

qasc

Great job! I love it.

how do i get the control panel for this?

Qasic, thanks for the reply.

You mean the following?

• Avatar Path
• Custom Avatar Path
• Avatar URL
• Custom Avatar URL

If so, yes they are correct. A user can use the pull down to select an avatar, the image won't appear when they pull down and select.

When they post in the forums, their avatar appears below their name as designed.

The situation with editing a profile shows the previously chosen avatar, but the pull down says "none." Which if they hit edit will select none for their image.

All the permissions have been given the twice over, the mods also were. The board is 6.04a with the mods listed previously.

Thanks for your assistance.

BluePrint, plz give me a URL to your board.

Thx.

q

I gor errors!
he said that i dont have avatar dorectory
but i have it! inside noncgi, ubb
so what's the problem?

You've entered your path wrong then. Double check all / are /

qasic

i checked it again and it's ok
check my vars_Avatar
useavatar => 1,
avurl => q!http://www.scooter-posse.f2s.com/ubb/avatars!,
cavurl => q!http://www.scooter-posse.f2s.com/ubb/avatars/custom!,
avpath => q!d:/ubb/avatars!,
cavpath => q!d:/ubb/avatars/custom!,
usemod => 1,
usehw => 0,
height => 64,
width => 64,
list_on => 1,
list_style => 2,
list_row => 20,
list_col => 5,
show_total => 1,
);
1;

and this is what shown on the avatar settings and it's not working maybe you can help me?

Good work Qasic. Easy install... I am very pleased! Thanks for taking the time to create this!

That's defintely wrong. You haven't even modified the Path settings; they should be changed to reflect your configuration. Read f2s' CGI FAQ reqarding your absolute paths.

qasic

I tryed this too
Avatar Path - http://www.scooter-posse.f2s.com/avatars
Custom Avatar Path - http://www.scooter-posse.f2s.com/ubb/avatars/custom
Avatar URL - http://www.scooter-posse.f2s.com/ubb/avatars
Custom Avatar URL - http://www.scooter-posse.f2s.com/ubb/avatars/custom

and it's still not working

Sheffield, URL is NOT same as path.

Use the above Perl script to find your base bath. You say your avatars are in the CGI-Bin directory (i.e., ubbcgi/avatars), then your path for your avatars should be something like /home/html/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/avatars (like your vars_config are).

If you still need further help, plz e-mail me ([email protected]) the following info:

1) Site Link
2) Site FTP URL with login/passowrd
3) A UBB account with Administrator Status

I'll be more than happy to debug it for you.

qasic

This may be a stupid question but have you tryed with /avatar instead of /avatars?
Asking this because in the "INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS" it say:
Double check to make sure your avatar and your custom avatar directory are set to the following settings:
/avatar (avatar directory) (CHMOD 777 - R/W/X permissions)
/avatar/custom (custom avatar dir) (CHMOD 777 - R/W/X permissions)

cali,

PATHS never have http:// .. PERIOD.

qasic

ok.

1) excellent hack. VERY detailed (i love the cp controlled hacks!)

2) look, im not smart. my parents'll vouch for that in fact, sadly, most of you will too! but, i just cant find the english wordlet transaltions...

Yes i know that i was thinking he got the path wrong by using /avatars instead of /avatar
Went to his forum and found the blank.gif here-> http://www.scooter-posse.f2s.com/ubb/avatar/blank.gif

dkknight. question is already answered. check past posts or RTFM

I made this simple mistake when I set mine up.. I don't know if Sheffield might want to check it. But on unix (as we know) the bloody thing is case sensitive. I had my folders "Avatars" and "Custom" instead of "avatars" and "custom". Just a thought.

My avatar directory is inside ubb and i dont know the correct address if you saw that it's something else, not URL
and yes i tryed to change it to avatar and it's still not work
i'll email you my detailes and it will be such a big help for me
if you can fix it for me
Thanks

Problem fixed.

As I suspected, he entered in the path INCORRECTLY. FYI, an "example" path is given in the instrutions: e.g.,

Avatar Path
Give the full path to your avatar directory (e.g., /web/sites/31/sheffield-tunes/www.scooter-posse.f2s.com/ubb/avatars)

The e.g. is dynamic; it changes to suit your ubb ... always to use that example first; if it doesn't help .. then modify it a bit until it works

qasic out

heya qasic...

yeah, thats part o'where my stupidity comes in. i saw someone asked this before, and you replied

"Let's just put it bluntly ....
RTFM
Repeat
RTFM

but... i have no idea what that means. what docs? n'whutsa rtfm?

Thanks thanks thanks thanks....
you make me soooo happy now
Thanks!!!

RTFM stands for Read the f*** Manual

The English wordlets you are looking for are inside the text file included inside the ZIP.

qasic

aahhhHHHHhhhh... gotchya. its in the "skip this part" part, thats why i missed it.

sorry for the stupidity!
