Download: http://www.qasic.net/main.cgi?action=details;file=avtr_ext62

can't download.... got a main.cgi file.

Wonderfull Qasic! I know, it's a pro/contra thing but can it be modified so that swf can be displayed?

Maybe a small line of extra code under the jpg?

I know.. i hate it when people make it dl threw the .cgi. Because on mac os 9 exporer, it thinks the file to download is the .cgi file and :- just a hasle to go to windows dl the file transfer it to the other computer.

Anyway, nice hack

That's weird .. it should recognize the Content-type header that is sent. No worries though, just rename the file to .zip and StuffIt Expander should expand it with no problems!

Qasic, i have modified this hack so that it can point to flash swf avatars.

It is not a replacement (if/else), the avatar can only be displayed when the avatar-image is turned off. But i'm sure this could be done to.

Further...it uses one of the extra custom profilefields. Only with your permission, i make it public with all the info in a zip or textfile.

does this work together with the normal avatar hack?

Yes it does but it needs another profilefield and the $this_img renamed.

Thanks Variables, I will give it a shot

Is there a way to make the avatar be 64 x 64?

Sounds good, I might give it a try later.

Yeah, Dan and I were wondering the same thing. Is there a way?

~Jon

Qasic you going to port over your regular avatar hack as well?

Sure, send me the SWF version and I'll post it on my site.

I'll try to port over the Avatar hack to 6.2 on Saturday but no gurantees. I know of one individual on use the regular Avatar hack on 6.2 ... very easy fix

It all depends on the schedule of free them I have (which is very limited right now).

qasic

???! Ow, let's try again. Mail send, PM send (just in case).

to use the images as big as you want

http://balder.prohosting.com/~galip/exav.txt

here is the solution

sorry for the mess on recent posts i couldnt be able to use the code tags. Pls moderators delete those corrupt messages

Code

[/code]This / should be in the end, and it's not XHTML compatible...

[code]

[edit: misspelling]

BTW, what's wrong with your [code] tags? They work fine here...

Thanx for correction LK... but it also works on the first one also

Well, Galipali's works fine, so I'm using it right now. But I'll change the LK's code later....

~Jon

I would recommend you use LK's version. It's XHTML compliant and that's what we're striving for.

Ok. I'll go ahead and change it now. =)

Man i hate it when you guys post all this code and dont label it correctly

How in theheck do i get this to work with the regualr avatar hack so you can choose one from the list or input your avatar from a URL

like ya could in the old 6.05 version?

HI ssilenthill,

You are right it is anoying throwing different codes in.

I used another profile number instead of 20 I used 17 then go to your registration settings and chance Custom Registration Field # 2: make it a optional field and put in Avatar url:

In the public_topic_page.pl do not forget to chance the $this_img to $this_extimg.

One irritating thing is that if a user select a avatar AND an external avatar you will see two avatars.

Hope that helps

Thank you...

This was impossible on the Qasic.NET edition of avatar hack.

qasic

Whats so special about Qais.NET beside that you rock lol

i dont understand why that ahs anything to do with why that was impossible.

i could understand if this version of the UBB was so drasticly different that it wasnt possible lmao

and if so why not just say so

I meant that unless you added the code yourself, you didn't have an option to enter a URL or select a picture from the list. You must have had to added code into my hack to allow you to do the above.

The Qasic.NET hack never had this functionality and that's why it remains the same in the 6.2 version as well.

qasic

Hi, i have the Standard Avatar Hack installed and also have installed the External Avatar Hack.
But when i try to view a post after adding External Hack i get this Error.

quote:
public_topic_page: syntax error at /home/total-am/public_html/ubb/Templates/public_topic_page.pl line 129, near "6) "

Please inform the board administration of this error so that they may fix the problem. Thank you!

Anyone know what this is..??
Thanx for any help.

but this is one UPGRADE for Avatar Hack 1.0 ?

if no please make one upgrade for it..

thx

Great hack, qasic.

Boss

What does this mean..? I have installed Avatar normal hack and External hack and it don't seem to work together. Do i need to do this.. ? Cause all i get is 2 avatars ahowing at same time but NO avatar from URL..?

I wouldn't mind this is only a small hack.
So does it work with normal Avatar hack.??
