Enjoy, comments suggestions, post here

Again -

Where can we see this in action? Do plan on telling us.

I have it running on my site, it was very easy too.
http://www.oneminuteleft.com/board/Ultimate.cgi

Hey has anyone tried this hack out yet? If so, tell me if it works fine.

------------------

I think it won't beat the Avator addon

it beats the avatar system I had running.

read my last post, it has a link to my board, It works.

It works GREAT!!!

I don't get it. The instructions to do this do not match with my 5.44b. First I am looking for ("Sorry, we are not accepting new registrations currently."); and that is nowhere in Ultimate.cgi as it says it should be.

Am I missing something?

try searching for a substring. The wording might be a little different.

it latest version try searching for it in register_lib.pl


Hope it helps

------------------

5.44b not 5.45b. 5.44b doesnt have register_lib

Try to search for just "accepting" or "not accepting"
If your editor has line wrap and if your resolution is small, the line could have been wrapped (say:
Sorry, we are not accepting new
registrations currently

see the break?
)

one question, before I really mess it up... There are 4 instances of the same "Sorry we are not.." and 2 of the "

is there a way i can have just ONE user have an image?

Yes - you just hard-code it into ubb_library2.pl (near any rank hacks).

Just a thought

I tried this hack on 5.45 and now I am getting this message and am not sure where to go look.

Hack attempt logged or corrupt member file found with extra fields [15 total]

Ok, good news I found the problem, but was wondering what limits the size of the image? Anything?

Also what the best hack for users to have there own Custom Title?

also, i could NOT make these two hacks work together...if you manage to make it work, can u just tell me? thanx

I'd also like to know if the image sizes can be restricted. Like height/width size i mean.

Also is there a way to keep the image under a certain number of kilobytes?

Okay...

Go to a thread..

You see I have broken images for people who don't use a USER IMAGE? How do I fix that?

Also it has a URL..

I think I did something wrong O_o

can you help?? Thanks..

Ripper: you can easily modify an upload script to have an upper byte limit.

Just a thought

Y2BNE1 gave me the updated version of this hack. He has added the ability to show images for only mods and admin, this can be easily changed to make only 1 user with a special status have an image.

Ok what I would like to see with this is the ability to limit the size of the image being displayed. Can we do that with the tag? That would be the easiest way I can think of to do it. I would prefer to NOT let my users upload a photo. Easier to have a link to the photo that is hosted somewhere else.

Also, for some reason, (at least on my board) when you go back into your profile, it does not show the url to your image even after you have set it. Could that be something I did wrong or is that the default display? What would it take to get the URL (which I DO see in the users cgi in my members dir) to show up? Even if it has to go under the rules area.

Something like,"Your current image URL is:".

How does that all sound? Did I make sense?

----
Ok I just need to add to this message that there is something REALLY wrong with my application of this hack. It seems that no matter what, EVERYONE is getting the same picture. I set one for my main account and now it is showing up for every account. I could really use some help here.

Fred

file was updated...

yup, just work with the img src tag, only prob is, all images will be made that size.

My files? If so, have not gotten them back yet in email.

Did you find out what was wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Fred

no man, what he mean by "file updated" was that he updated the text file in the instructions.

There has to be a way to shut off a certian users access to add a image if you dont like it or if its the incorrect size?

Would anyone know where to add code so that when the administrator looks in the person account. they can turn user image on or off for that user?

Anyone else have this problem ? My users periodically lose there image. I have the custom status hack installed all I had to do was increase the thisprofile# to 16 instead of 15 and it was working.
Any ideas what would strip this line out of a members profile ?

If you haven't modified a routine which writes the member file then it wouldn't save the field. I'm not too sure which blocks of code do this...

Just a thought

Thanks Cal. It does right out to the member file. I checked via FTP. And it will last for awhile then dissapear.

I want to let everyone know that y2bne1 has been a great help in assisting me to track the problems that I was having with this script down. It is nice to know that there are people that not only want to share a hack that they have done but will also support it for those that have problems applying it.

Again, thanks for all the help Y2BNE1!!!

Fred

Silly question, but what if you cannot find a single instance of ("Sorry, we are not accepting new registrations currently." in Ultimate.cgi?

Am I just missing something?

if you are using a 5.45x version of UBB you should look for it in register_lib.pl

Y2BNE1,

Is there a way that the administrator can have access to turn off the image for a certian user. Like when a admin looks at the users account.

That way if the image is to big. We can shut it off right away and we can contact them. Or if the image is out of context.

You could do that in the member file in your ftp program

What ftp program? All the user simply does is enter in the url of the picture they want posted and no matter what size it will try to fit it in the screen. Makes everything crappy looking. What I am talking is being able to go in the users account and manually shut off there access to being able to have a image underneath there name.

How did you fix this?

Was someone able to make it run on 5.45c? If yes can you please report the new hack here?
