Thx Morpheus. Auto-install had it correct but the readme didn't

qasic

Qasic are you supporting the Auto-install? Or just the manual install?

Only manual install is support. Auto-install is only provided for convenience.

qasic

Heya Qasic,

I added the code you recomended above
($0 =~ m!(.*)(\|/)[^/\]+!) && unshift(@INC, $1, "$1$2Modules");

My code now looks like this:
# Note: If you ain't Infopop or an Infopop licensee, you DON'T HAVE ANY
# right to use it!
############################################################################

# Get the script location: UNIX / or Windows /
($0 =~ m,(.*)/[^/]+,) && unshift (@INC, "$1");
# Get the script location: Windows
($0 =~ m,(.*)\[^\]+,) && unshift (@INC, "$1");

($0 =~ m!(.*)(\|/)[^/\]+!) && unshift(@INC, $1, "$1$2Modules");
use lib("./Modules", "."); # in the event $0 is not set


The new error is:
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:

Can't locate UBBCGI.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ./Modules . F:/Perl/lib F:/Perl/site/lib) at F:InetpubTestAlteredDestinycgi-binavatarlist.cgi line 22.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at F:InetpubTestAlteredDestinycgi-binavatarlist.cgi line 22.

Basically, the error is occuring in line 22 instead of line 17 now.

I'll toy with it a bit to see if i can figure it out. If you have any ideas, they would be much appreciated.

hey Qasiq or anyone able to help me, in the cp.cgi when I am trying to install the vars_worldets_mods.cgi it cant find
[code][/code]
so I cant finish installing it... what can I do?

Qasic, i got it.

To fix this error:
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:

Can't locate UBBCGI.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ./Modules . F:/Perl/lib F:/Perl/site/lib) at F:InetpubTestAlteredDestinycgi-binavatarlist.cgi line 17.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at F:InetpubTestAlteredDestinycgi-binavatarlist.cgi line 17.


In avatarlist.cgi Find:
use UBBCGI qw(:cgi);
use UBBCGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser set_message);

Replace with:
use CGI qw(:cgi);
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser set_message);

Seemed to have fixed my problem -- however, i don't know what the repricusions are.

Both of you try this.

Find:

($0 =~ m!(.*)(\|/)[^/\]+!) && unshift(@INC, $1, "$1$2Modules");
use lib("./Modules", "."); # in the event $0 is not set

and replace with:

BEGIN {
($0 =~ m!(.*)(\|/)[^/\]+!) && unshift(@INC, $1, "$1$2Modules");
use lib("./Modules", "."); # in the event $0 is not set
}

LMK how this goes.

FYI, using UBBCGI is better; it's faster

qasic

heh, i just saw the BEGIN{} code down in ultimatebb.cgi, and was just about to try what you have recomended. brb -- i'll let ya know how it goes.

Yes, the BEGIN code takes care of the problem as well. I adjusted my lines of:

use CGI qw(:cgi);
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser set_message);

back to the original:
use UBBCGI qw(:cgi);
use UBBCGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser set_message);

as well -- just to verify that the updated code produced the desired effect.

Hi,

I actually had that code in my own avatarlist.cgi because a paid client of mine encoutered the same problem. Stupid Windows servers

I'll update the one on my website when I get a chance

qasic

Does the avatar hack works with 6.2 beta 1 w/accel ?

I haven't tried but I don't see why not - hacking in this avatar hack is extremely minimal.

qasic

Thanks Qasic, going to try it

Hi Qasic,

I got kind of a stupid question. In the instructions "avatar_hack_install_1_0.txt

it says:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT FOLLOWS IS OPTIONAL. YOU MAY DO THIS IN YOUR CONTROL PANEL NOW. GO TO
:::::::::: CODE HACKING SECTION :::::::::::::::::
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Heres the stupid part , I went to my control panel but I can't find CODE HACKING section anywhere...

Please let me know I'm using 6.1.0.3

Thanks

Rainner

Well, here I go again talking to myself hehe...

I got it all working fine. Real nice hack Qasic, thank you!

My last thing is getting the french to english, I seem to have missed that part in the instructions.

Later all

Rainner

yawn... just me again. Avatars are working great but I just can't find the awy to add the english instead of the frech. Please give me a clue I didn't see it in the install instructions.

Thanks

Rainner

It's in the instructions. Look harder.

q

Or you could use Babblefish at AltaVista...

It's near the top of the instructions, between 'what follows is optional' and the 'code hacking section' labels...IMHO the english wordlets should go near the end, but that's just IMHO.

In the file would be better.

I got it working on 6.2 beta 1.

One thing is that when a user try to register it do not shows up on the registration page. I checked the public_register_page.pl and everything looks ok?

Have you enabled the picture field in registration?

qasic

Yes the picture field is an optional field

********************************
UBBCGI.pm (Module Directory)
********************************

FIND:

# $TempFile::TMPDIRECTORY = '/usr/tmp';

THEN:

Change this to relfect a path a directory inside your webserver that is CHMOD 777.
what am i supposed to change it to? can someone give me an example

maurice, try rehacking public_register_page.pl and ubb_registration.cgi

Rock,

This is the path on your server where files will be temporarily stored when Avatars are uploaded in the Control Panel. If you're on UNIX, you don't need to touch this. If you're on Windows, I recommend you to set this to your UBB cache directory, such as d:/ubb/cache-fj3974fa

qasic

I rehacked , no go still the same problem

I run 6.2 beta

fredfr,

Is the path to Perl correct in avatarlist.cgi? What's the URL to your UBB?

maurice,

Send me login details to your FTP and I'll investigate.

qasic

See the top of your ultimatebb.cgi. Replace the first line of avatarlist.cgi with the one from ultimatebb.cgi. If you have further questions, please provde me with the URL to your UBB.

qasic

qasic I have a question.

Does this hack work well along with your Custom Title/Rank v1.1 installed?

Yup, fully compatible w/ Jimbo.

qasic

Qasic another question.

I installed your hack on my board witch is v6.1.0.4

The avatars work great, but problem is I noticed is when a member has a picture in their profile, it shows as the profile picture instead of the avatar they selected. Only way I can correct this is clear cache and it's fixed, but they can't select a avatar due to their profile picture. It does not make a seperate field for avatars.

I also noticed when you select a avatar image, it goes into your picture field.

Now I don't know of this is a bug or I did something wrong witch I doubted. But do you know a way to fix this and seperate the avatars from the picture field with their own?

http://198.76.30.38//ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic&f=2&t=001018

Here go to my name in that topic and click on my profile. You see what I mean.

*BUMB*

Hey Terminator_X,

I just installed the hack myself and didn't realize that some of our users had pictures in their profile. I read the instructions that came with the hack but again, I stupidly assumed that my members didn't have pictures or was brain dead at the moment and didn't care Anyway, what a suprise I got when I surfed my forums and noticed that there were some that had pictures, and they showed up as their avatar. I wish I could disable the picture field without messing up the avatars but since I already installed it, I wish there was a way to "get rid" of the picture field.

By the way, I really like the hack!! It installed perfectly. I just wish I would have read the instructions a little more carefully before installing on our "live" forums. I probably would have still installed it due to our members "hounding the admins" about this feature.

Jon "RoC" Kolman

At the very top of the avatar hack it says that it replaces the picture field

The workaround I suggest is that you can remove the picture by manually removing the URL from the user's profile if you like.
