I am trying to add the "avatar"hack to my site,(so members have icons! under there name)and i uploaded everything, but when it asks to enter the stuff in my cp.cgi file and others i have no idea where to put the hack codes at, so i added them to the bottom of the script, then my board doesn't work at all! where am i suppose to put those codes at, in my origanl ubb cgi files? please help!

Can you clarify what part of the directions you're unsure of? I just installed this hack successfully a few days ago, so I think I can help you.

thanks for replying,
The part after you
::::::: CODE HACKING SECTION ::::::::

**********
cp.cgi
**********
then there is a code for each section of the ubb templates and stuff where do i put those codes! i tried putting then at the very end of the ubb cp.cgi script ans alos the other they have listed like
eg:
*******************
ubb_profile.cgi
*******************

FIND:

$lc_old_email = lc($old_email);

AFTER PUT:

# validate avatar
$in{picture} = "" if ($in{picture} =~ m/(blank.gif)$/);
require "$vars_config{CGIPath}/avatar_list.pl";
&ValidateAvatar($in{picture});

FIND:

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

AFTER PUT:

$picture = "" unless ($picture =~ m/(.gif|.jpg)/);
LIKE THAT ONE THERE, i opened the file and put that at the end of my ubb script, do you understand?

You have to find the text that it says, then put the new text where it says. You can't just add it in wherever you want...

ah yeah.. its all in the directions.. read em and follow them!
