Nokia,

I don't have the answers to your one bug issue, but I think I can speak for those who create these hacks that this idea won't work--and there is a very simple reason why--bandwidth theft.

Too many people would see an avatar that they like somewhere else and direct link to it. It would be a nightmare on your part to monitor this.


My members love the avatars; if they want a custom one, I simply have them send it to me, and then I take care of it for them. A hassle, yes? But much, much better than having to monitor for bandwidth theft.

As usual, Qasic to the rescue. New problem now. When I try to view my avatar list from the profile, it gives me the following:


CGI 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 . c:/Perl/lib c:/Perl/site/lib) at c:lmallaubbcgi2avatarlist.cgi line 17.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at c:lmallaubbcgi2avatarlist.cgi line 17.


I haven't touched the beta/preview versions of 6.1, so the UBBCGI.pm deal is totally new to me..

BTW, you rock my world Qasic

Hey Qasic, almost 2 months later, still having the issue

Both of you try this.

Find:

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

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.

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.

So their is no way to work around this and give Avatar it's own field? My members are not going to be pleased.
