For the first one, you did not upload cp*.pl into the Templates directory.
For the second one, you're probably missing ubb_avatar.cgi in the cgi directory.
sry i might have explained that bit a little wrong, everything was uploaded fine, but in the cp the avatar manage and the one for uploading the avatars are there just the screens for them are empty. and in the my profiles section when i added it everything from: Your Picture: Enter a link to a picture of yourself. This must be a complete URL. down was gone. i used backups and just took everything back out but i would really like this one. just not sure what might be causeing the empty pages and that chunk of missing stuff in the my profiles. hope this helps explain it a little better.
I thought I had installed this w/out problems, but when I decided to register a new name on my test board to determine if a new hack had worked or not, I came across a pop-up error for a script.
This was in the profile area where I was to choose my avatar.
When I try to upload avatars via the CP i get this error:
Software error: CGI open of tmpfile: No such file or directory For help, please send mail to this site's webmaster, giving this error message and the time and date of the error.
I installed avatar_hack_v1_1_62 and I love it dearly. There's just one niggling little problem. On the avatarlist page it gives an error message when anybody clicks on one of the avatars. They can still remember the name of the one they chose and get it from the menu in their profile but the error message bothers me...
Nevermind! I see what happened. I linked to the avatars display page directly rather than through the Profile. That caused the error. If you arrive through the Profile, it works perfectly. Now I love this hack without reservation. Thank you!
The hack works great on my board exept for one thing. After I installed it. The wordlets on th emain forum page for the chat room don't show up anymore. Can you possibly tell me what file I need to rehack. I'm sure it is operator error.

You probably forget to load vars_avatar_wordlets.cgi in ultimatebb.cgi so rehack ultimatebb.cgi using a backup.
I'd like to try the Avatar hack , but I can't download it from qasic.net because my HTTP_REFERRER is blank and it won't download. Is there anywhere else I can get this file to apply it to my UBB ?

How did you download UBB then? Infopop performs the same referrer checking.

I downloaded it with the old computer on my little network. I was able to download fine when I went back to the old computer. I've since downloaded the hack from the old computer too. Not sure why it doesn't work on my new one.
Does this avatar hack have the same vulnerability that the version for 6.1.x has? Here is what I'm talking about.
When you view your profile you can change your avatar to one of the defaults, so all you have to do is save the page to your computer and change to code to..:
and submit it!
This will give anybody one of the reserved custom avatars. Obviously it could be anything.
It might be possible to insert JS in there as well.
This is not a good thing, so how would you update the hack to make sure that the referrer is the UBB itself and not a remote machine?
Edit: If you can view the code as I posted it it uses & to replace certain characters.

Is there a backtrace available for this error like there was Metamorpheus' error? LMK.
qasic
No, it's just a software error, no backtrace.
Edit: Qasic, I down-graded my board to 6.1.0.4 so I assume that's the problem...is there a fix for me too. I forgot all about the downgrade (I had a server meltdown and corrupted backups).
In theory, this should also work on UBB 6.1 but that shouldn't be a cause for avatar_clean.cgi (just disable the check for UBB 6.2 but putting # in front of the relevant statements that check for UBB 6.2 near the top).
Secondly, try switching the following code in avatar_clean.cgi:
I changed the next line to "defined" as well and it ran but gave me this error;
Please log into cp.cgi before you load this program. (Caller: avatar_clean.cgi:483 -> sub main::Tracer) (Caller: avatar_clean.cgi:307 -> sub main::error_output) (Caller: avatar_clean.cgi:37 -> sub main::VerifyCookie)
Okay, I did that, and added the fix that you pointed someone else to prior and after stting the batch amount to more than my member total I was able to get it to run successfully.
Thanks for taking the time to fix this for us, I for one really appreciate it.
Thanks for notifying me that the above fixes work. I've incorporated both fixes (the one I suggested to Morph as well as the one I suggested for you) so people who are now running avatar_clean.cgi won't exprience the same troubles you two did
I recently upgraded ubb I admin to the newest version and so had to rehack and such .. I installed this hack .. seems to be working great but theres just one problem.
With the old version (we were on 6.02 a long time o.O; ) we had the avatar hack installed along with a addon I once found on here that allowed for a link to a picture on their own web space to be there too.
I still have the instructions for it, but since the avatar hack and ubb has changed so much I don't think it'll work.
Yeah I know there is the custom thing now with this version .. but .. with over gosh 5000 user names last I checked ... that would be a lotta images and a lotta work for the admin and mods.
