UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.0x] Avatar Hack v0.0007e *FINAL* [Finished]

Neptin, please check my site for the UBB 6.1 version.

Ashwen, you're using the wrong version of my hack. Download the UBB 6.05 version.

qasic

um......Qasic same problem as Ashwen, I don't have a ubbcgi.pm file and.......

there is only 2 versions of ubb hacks on your site that I can see..... the 6.1 version one, and the 6.05 version one.........

HELP!

oh, and i'm running 6.04f.......

[Is there any need to upgrade from my 6.04f testboard to 6.05? As my board is pretty much packed with hacks right now]

Like I stated previously, you downloaded the wrong version. The one for 6.05 works on 6.04 with no modifications necessary iirc.

qasic

Screw it i found what i did wrong sorry guys

If use the install option for this and I already have other hacks on (that being the whos online feature) will it overide it?

Can i use it in UBB 6.1.0 rb 2.1?

If you're going to use UBB 6.1, use the UBB 6.1 version of this hack. This hack will not get rid of any other hacks.

qasic

Hi qasic,

I've just installed the hack on my 6.05 and everything works! It works too much, to be honest. I've two pics instead of one in every post.

Any suggestions for a newbie?

Thanx

P.S. I solved the problem. I had to delete the two lines after "$this_image" in public_topic_page.pl.

OK. I KNOW it's me but I'm still about to go nuts over this. I am running v6.04 and the only hacks I have installed are "Who's Online" and "Custom Rank" both of which are awesome, by the way.

I am trying to install this Avatar Hack but when I look for

=========
else { $picture = $in{picture}; }
=========

in the ubb_profile.cgi file I can not find it. It is not in there.

Any suggestions? I could sure use 'em.

Thanks!

If you can't find that line, ignore it.

qasic

This hack has worked great on my board except for one, small thing.

When members upload a file that I have put on the server, the board manages to ensure that the picture stays within set parameters.

On the other hand, when people use the hotlink method, the picture expands to whatever size it actually is. How do I control this? Is there a way to make hotlinks fit inside set margins? Is there a setting that I didn't set correctly?

Thanks

Enable image sizing.

qasic

Hmmm. If you're referring to the setting under "Avatar Settings" where you check the button that says "Use Height/Width", then I have it check. If there's another button that says "Enable Image Sizing", I would love it if you could direct me to the location of that control.

Thanks!

Ok. I've installed it. It works great. Everything seems to be fine except one thing. When I have an avatar file that has a name longer than 16 characters, it doesn't show up. It shows up on the menu to select it and also on the list of avatars but once u select it and submit the change, and u go back to view your profile, it is "None" again. This only occurs when the avatar has a file name longer than 16 characters. Is this a bug? A Unix limitation? Messed up install on my part? Is there anyway around this?

oh my board is at
http://www.crescentschool.org/robotics/forum/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi
go and login using tester/tester as the user
and try and change u're avatar to a file longer than 16 characters. Then go back to the "view profile" and u'll see that it didn't change it. But if u use something shorter than 16 char, it works.

I'm pretty sure I hacked it right. cuz I've tried it three times already. And everytime, I double checked it.
And also, I've tried testing UNIX with filenames longer than 16 characters. It isn't UNIX. So, it is either a limitation with the hack or UBB.

Definetly not a limitation with the hack. With > 100 downloads and successful installs, if there was such a problem, it would have been reported.

What is the version of Perl and Linux you are running?

qasic

I love your hack quasic, but..when someone post and they don`t post more than one or two lines the topic looks really **** . Alot of massive space around the user menu and the info about the user.

My english is not soo good, so I wrote a little readme pain look-a-like I hope theres a way to fix this!

Don't know if anyone still comes to this thread but here goes.

I have installed the Avatar hack
im running UBB v6.04c

Now it doesnt appear in the Control pannel unless i type the direct path to it in the url

IE www.blahblahblah.com/tonycrew/cgi-bin/cp.cgi?ubb=vars_avatar

then the CP for it comes up ??

Also it dont appear in the forum profiles as a choice anywhere unless i type in the url to it

I.E. www.blahblahblah.com/tonycrew/cgi-bin/avatarlist.cgi

then they appear.??

But none if it works ??

Any help anyone as to what i may have done wrong i installed it manually ALL files seem to have been uploaded and CHMOD seems right for the files.

Absolute paths are ok so im stumped??

P.S. I have read through ALL 31 pages before this and my head is now hurting

I had trouble understanding you but it may be a Absolute path or URL error. Check your Avatar settings.

I have all my perissions set, all the files and folders in place, and all the hacks where they need to be (as far as I can tell anyway), but I can't update on the avatar settings screen. I keep getting an error tell me that my avatar folder does not exist and there may be other problems. I to have read through this thread.

Can anyone tell me what might be causeing this?

Thanks

Can you paste the error your getting here please?

Error:
Your avatar directory does not exist. [There may be other errors, as well.]

This is on the avatar settings screen

BTW.. Thanks for the fast reply!

Check you have an "avatars" directory set and CHmodded right, and that the paths in the Avatar Settings are correct.

The folders are there and their paths are correct, the folder rights are set correctly as well (I'm assuming thats what you meant by CHmodded, my server is WinXP). Thats why I'm so confused! On the avatar list page there is nothing, even though I have some files in the avatar folder.

Dude, thanks for you help, but I figured it out.. I'M A DARN IDIOT!!!

Now my avatars show up as little bixes with a red x in them, when I got to my profile, the avatar "none" is selected. No matter how many times I change it, it keeps showing up as none.

Are there other avatars to choose from or just none?

There are two other avatars in the avatar folder. They show up in the drop down box and I can select one (it even shows up next to the drop down box)

[nil]

Is the Avatar URL set correctly in the configuration settings for the avatar hack?

Secondly, when you run avatarlist.cgi, do all the file show up correctly?

qasc

Yes and Yes.. I've found that if I use the control panel/members/view/edit profiles, the path in my profile looks like this http://http://path to the gif. If I take out one of the http://, put a copy of the gif in custom, and then add that to the path, I can see the avatar where its suppose to be.

Thats a lot of work! Thanks for any help!!
