hi qasic. i tried before to install this mod and had problems.
quote:
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.

well after taking everything out and not doing anything for a bit i figured it was installer error so i tried to rehack this again fresh from the start.
i even found 1 or 2 things i missed the first time i hacked the files but to no avail.
i had the exact same problem again.
i get no errors anywhere but in the cp as before both places avatar manage and uploads avatar screens are blank no errors just a blank screen.
and when u go into my profile there is a whole chunk of code missing. but again still no errors it's just missing?
well i took everything out again wish i could have this but i take it that mabye my board won't have avatars this time around.

That fixed it, but why is it off in UBB 6.2.1.1? It wasn't off in other versions.

Charles Capps implemented that change for UBB 6.2.x to increase security smile I've had to reverse back the change to allow the upgrades to go through. Hope that helps.

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.

Anyone out there who can help?

Hi Nalina,

Unfortunately, with that functionality (having external urls), people can steal your UBB login cookies simply by entering a URL that is a PHP/CGI script with an appended javascript command. This is partly the reason why I've decided not to allow external URLs in my version of the avatar hack.

However, you will be glad to know that UBB 6.3.x will not have such limitation smile

deathdealer,

The case of missing parts in the Control Panel and the ultimatebb.cgi are often the as a result of ubb_avatar.cgi, cp_avatar.cgi, and cp_vars_avatar.pl not being uploaded. Were these uploaded in their correct places?

I doubt anyone on the forum would realize that ^.^ I'm counting on it ... LOL ... But merf... what a pain. URL avatars is heavily relied on. The populas is itching to get them back.

When is 6.3 to be realeased?

(Figures I'll have to go through the whole upgrade process again ...)

If security is not an issue, than I recommend you remove my avatar hack and install "External Avatar Hack" instead available from my site. Hope this helps.

Most likely incorrect path to Perl at the top of avatarlist.cgi

I use avatar_hack_v1_2_62.zip on Ultimate Bulletin BoardTM 6.2.1.2. It works well but my Mod's are not able to access the avatar maintance panel to upload new avatars. I set this function to on in the avatar control panel but access to the maintance of avatars is restrictet.

I read the thread but found nothing about this. Can you give me a clue ? Thanks.

double-check your work in cp.cgi to make sure you've done that correctly.

now, I can access the controlpanel and go to the upload requester as mod. But if I try to send something the controlpanel return to main windows and tell me:

You do not have permission to access this area.
» Use your browser's back button to return.

chmod seems to be right and I cant find any mistake in my hacks. but I will continue to check it. Any idea where I can search ? Upload as Admin works well.

Edit:

this section of hacking can't be done:
[code][/code]If I try this I will get an error from my server so I leave this line as is.

Did you set all your file permissions correctly?

Did you hack cp.cgi correctly?

I seem to be having a huge problem with this on a 6.2.1.0 The hack uploads fine, everything is set properly, permissions are set great. But whenever someone goes to select an avatar, it lets them chose it and preview it, but when they click submit it says that a hack attempt has been logged.

I've rehacked EVERY file at least 6-7 times over now, and also used the autoinstall and it doesnt work either...

frown Help?
