Madman has indicated this is fixed the the new version, which I am patiently awaiting:)... Sorry for the delay.
The update was already announced for the last weekend.
However, it comes a little later. It is available at the latest tomorrow.

All the features in this hack is getting me lost. So far i only see changes made in the admin area of the forum. Is there anything that goes into the user control panel or no?

But the most important is hiding custom avatars from the general public viewing. It can be that I haven't understood you correctly :paranoid:
But I think to understand that only you simply would like that users cannot use custom avatars. If this is so (let me know), then you should go to the vB Admin control panel. Clicking there on 'vBulletin Options' and increase the value behind 'Minimum custom posts' and/or mark behind 'Allow uploads' -> 'No'.

[Colon33]

What i really want to do is still allow the uploading of custom avatars but at the same time not allow other users to see them in the avatar listing. I tried installing the AVATAR as File hack but that didnt help them from not appearing.

I only want the basic avatars i supply to be visible in the general listing but still allow custom avatars to be used without everyone being able to select it for there use.

Check http://forums.gamer-pit.com

You might have to register, but when you choose your avatar you will see at the bottom of the list are all the custom avatars. They are seen by having names under them, I dont want those to appear what-so-ever. Any ideas?


So a hack that removes the avatars with "names" from being displayed. hehe

[bad_madman]

@Colon33
Ouh. Hmm. I understand. I don't have any idea at the moment. I have registered me already in your forum. Your page isn't attainable at the moment. I try it later once again.

[Colon33]

should be set now.

Hi bad madman, I was just currious on the status of the update for the avatar hack?

And I wanted to say cheers! on the hack, it is nice to have avatars in some sort of order instead of in a huge mishmosh.

But, this time, I would like to test the code in detail before :nervous: However, it looks good. I will upload the update in a couple of hours.

Btw - type yourself in as user of the avatar hack ('i installed this hack'). Through this you are informed automatically by mail ;)

Sorry. At the moment, "send update" function in this forum doesn't work?! I have tried to send an update (06-09-2002). I always after about 30 seconds get an empty page after click on submit... :(

Have you actually the hack 'avatars as file' still installed? This could be the reason. I install this hack and tests once.
Btw: The picture noavatar.gif is apparently missing in your avatars directory...

Madman

[Colon33]

yes i have the custom avatars as file hack installed but it made no difference. All custom avatars still appear and i have tried 3 times. I dont know whats up.

What do we need to do to upgrade this from 1.25.1 ?

The following changes are necessary:
- New entry in SQL data base.
- Changes at the files misc.php (for FAQ-Page), member.php, admin/user.php (for categories user administration).

Hello,

I know my error is user induced :( but I am getting an error:
Parse error: parse error in /home/www/board/misosoup/member.php on line 1448
When ever someone tries to log in, log out or use the edit option in user cp

and of course line 1448 is this:

?>

That is it. I am stumped! I put my backed up copy of members.php back into place for now.

Also after editing the two files in the admin directory I have no option to gain access to the menu directly. I can get access to the menu by droping in the URL manually. I attached a picture of that to show that I must of missed something big.

At the start of the install I chose yes for all options, then step by step I did all the editing as requires in the templates, then the four *.php files, then re-loaded them up via FTP using ASCII

I am so lost :ogre: Bad madman, if you have a moment I would love some help.
Thank you!

I am guessing you might want to look at my /admin/index.php and my members/php files to see what I might have done wrong.
If you do just let me know!

[bad_madman]

...I think you have forgotten '}' someplace. If the error appears since installation of the avatar hacks, then still time checks the changes. Only this ('}') can actually be the reason (i hope).

If you do just let me know! No problem. If there is still the problem with memper.php, then I have a look at the file.
If the avatar menues are missing in the in vB Admin CP , then index.php probably isn't changed. I also like to look at this one ;)

[ixian]

Whenever you see an error that points to the closing line of the script it's due to a missing } somewhere in the script. I'd fire up your backup member.php and re-apply the hack - you missed something.

[ixian]

Bad_madman, just wanted to let you know I ran the upgrade from 1.25.1 to 1.25.2 and it works like a charm, thanks. Looks like permissions are working too.

This is with 2.2.6

[JGM007]

I have attached one of two zips in this post.
Admin files are the index.php and user.php from the admin dir

[JGM007]

Here is the second of two zips ^_^
This one has the member.php and the misc.php

I thought I would let you know in the FAQ it is working as it should. And even though I needed to drop in URL in manually I am able to create avatar user groups, set permissions no problem. I remember editing all the files step by step as I went along.

Thank you for taking a look at this bad madman.

parse error in myboard...../admin//user.php on line 578

when i try to look at a member file through the admin cp. everything else seems to be working though. For the moment i am usingm y old user.php file though, but i'dl ike to use your updated one if possible

Do you have any idea what may be wrong? Thank you

[JGM007]

I had recieved that error I think, I made a copy of my back up copy members.php and then ran the sqltodos.php, if you look at the bottom one of the options will have a link of something =page2 I manually put that into the address but used page6 It can get you right back to where you need to edit the members.php with out having to re-run the hack from scratch.
I had used wordpad the first time around and it put in an extra space somewhere where I was supposed to cut and paste. Using notepad the second time fixed it.

You can find out what line exactly the issue is at like I did by using a telnet application and telnetting into your messageboard home on the web. If you know telnet dont not bother reading on ^_^
You move to your root of your message board then type:
pico members.php You can move around in a telnet session like you move in dos. cd mydir will change to a directory. ls will list files and directories in the current directory. if you type: ls | more it will pause the listing istead of letting go all at once.
if you press control + C at any time in pico it will tell you what line you are on so you can find the troublesome line.
Using the up and down arrow you can move a little, control + V will make you jump a page
Control + X will exit pico, if it asks to save changes, say NO unless you really wanted to make a change in the file. I would reccomend backing it up first though.

@JGM: The files were changed not quite correctly.
I can send you the correct files by mail.

[JGM007]

Ech.... Emailing them to me will be great. Could you also in the email tell me what I messed up please?
I will PM you my email.

But the file user.php wasn't changed in the avatar area in the different versions (2.0.3 ... 2.2.6). I have looked.

Please, post 2-3 lines over and under the line 578 (inclusive of the line 578) here into the forum. Thx.

You find it in the statistics menu. Click on 'browse' behind 'How many users use custom avatars'.

[ladyfyre]

any ideas here?

i have had several users complaining of the problem below:

I have clicked on change avatar and it takes me to: "thanks for updating your profile" and then takes me to the avatars page and i scroll down to browse and change my personal avatar, press submit modifications, and it throws me back to: "you are not logged in ".....this is so frustrating!!!

This is a error in my hack. Sorry. Have just noticed it :nervous:

Please, test it:
Search in member.php for$session[sessionhash]="$session[sessionhash]$avatcatadd";and replaces the line with:
$perpage="$perpage$avatcatadd";Madman

[Sadie Frost]

make sure they are browsing the board with cookies and automatically logging on when they return to the site - that always causes problems for my members :)

[bad_madman]

This is actually the best way :cool:
Unfortunately, some users don't like cookies :devious: :devious: or cookies blockedly by definite programs :paranoid:

[ladyfyre]

Great....that worked....

only one other problem i have found so far....

in Opera, Mozilla, and IE, the page # links all show up properly....but in Netscape (read: Nutscrape), they are now clickable at all....the link code needs to be adjusted to be cross-browser compatible.

[bad_madman]

@ladyfyre
Many thanks for your report :) :) The Download also is corrected now.
I will look at the problems with Netscape...

[pran]

I couldn't find this code in 2.2.6, member.php:

$avatarcount = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count
FROM avatar
WHERE minimumposts<='$bbuserinfo[posts]'");
$totalavatars = $avatarcount[count];

[bad_madman]

Only look for this first line best, you then will see the complete block.
$avatarcount = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS countOr you already have the file changed because of a different one hack...?

[Rose]

I love this new upgrade of the hack. I've got it working almost peachy on vB 2.2.6. The only problem I get is this -

If I have more than 100 avatars in a category, it won't display any pages but the first page in the user cp. I can see them in the admin cp, but not user.

Any suggestions or has this been heard of before?

[bonnmac]

:( Everything seemed to go okay until I edited the membe.php and misc.php. Now when I go to my faq page it's blank and when I go into usercp I get a blank page. Any ideas? I put my backups up again for now and all seems to be working okay.

[bad_madman]

Only a blank page? No error message or other text?

I have found the error. The page navigation is missing, if avatars are in a category between 100 and 249. An update follows...
Thx to Rose and Patrick for the reports :)

[bonnmac]

Nope just blank pages. Plain old white. Nothing written on them. But everything else seems to be working okay. Everything in the admin panel. Might I be installing the wrong ones? you know you instructed to css? How do I know if I'm using css or not? Sorry if I sound dumb but I'm pretty new to this stuff.
Thanks for your quick reply btw. :) Awesome hack!

Install prefer without CSS. Perhaps this is less misleading at the beginning ;) But it is real no matter whether you install with or without CSS. It must have another reason, if you get only an blank page.
You probably have forgotten installation steps :surprised: ?
Have you selected "Click here for a first installation of the hack" after the start of SQLTODOS.PHP? Please, install once again. I am sure that it works this time :devious: :)

hi. W have your hack installed on the site I work at, but we've found a hole in the permission checking

dunno if this has been fixed before but I didnt notice it.. just point me to the right area please if it has ^^;;

Anyways, if you input an $avatcat value into the linking line.... like member.php?action=editavatar&avatcat=33, then it takes the user to that category even if they dont have the permissions for it. And apparently people have been passing this around our site for a long time, so it's becoming well known

just wanted to make sure this doesnt effect any other of the avatar permissions to and what changes could be made to the script to fix it.

had to disable our script in the meantime in case it effected anything else

thanks ^^;; Great hack btw ^^

[GloriousWarrior]

Great Thing, bad_madman! Our users love this function.

But now we have up to 3000 avatars and we've problems with the structure of the categories. Is there a possibility for sub-categories?

like:

Main1 (can be empty)
-- Sub1
-- Sub2
Main2 (can be empty)
-- Sub3
-- Sub4

And its possible to have an image navigation? An example: http://avatars.borg-drohne.de/?content=categories&resolution=high (only without the popup!) ;)

You are right. There really was the bug. This bug is eliminated since the version 1.25.1. You install the latest version 1.30 best :) A couple of other bugs are also eliminated there ;)

[Emma]

I am having the same problems as I had before with this. Its a great hack, and I really need it considering I have 600+ avatars.

When a user signs up, and they return to the boards for the first time, it doesn't show their avatar( appears as Not selected), yet it shows them as logged in. Now when they reply to the email that was sent, it brings them back to the boards and everything appears fine, although their avatar now appears as "Guest". Now when they try to log in, it tells them their password is wrong. And even if they fill out that sheet and reset their password, it still comes up as wrong.

How can I fix this?

Thank you!
Emma

[bad_madman]

@Emma
This is strange. Hmm. Which ones hack have you installed so that the avatar is shown on the homepage? trilOByte's "Welcome Panel [Final]" or FireFly's "Avatar on homepage". You have these problems, since you have installed my hack 'avatar categories'?

[Emma]

I have Welcome Panel [Final Installed] , and I don't have the problems unless I have the categories show, if I keep them turned off, there is no problem.

Any Ideas?

[SoloX]

Hello,
I installed the latest version and when my users go to the Avatar selction page, only the first category is shown. Althought the pull down menu has correcnt number of cats and the screen does refresh, but the results are always shown from the first category.

any idea where I can fix this?

thanks

[bad_madman]

Really sure that you have the latest version? I am actually sure that there isn't the fault in the version 1.3 any more :bunny: Pls, can you post (or PM me) the lines in member.php :knockedout: between this$avatarcat=$DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM avatar_categories ORDER BY disorder,title,screenname");and this
if ($repea1==1 and $avataroptions==1) {eval ("\$totalavatarsadd = \"".gettemplate("view_avatarcategoriesadd")."\";");}Thx :)

Hi bad_madman! This is one of my favorite hacks! I do have a problem now that I upgraded. I tested the hack on a tester board then uploaded to my current board. Now I can only select avatars from the control panel. Any hints? The permissions are correct, too. Thanks bunches!!!

I also have another porblem. I uninstalled the hack, and I still have duplicate options in the control panel. anysuggestions on how to get rid of these?

This didn't happen by the avatar hack uninstallation. Something other is to blame there ;) Please, can you look whether the description 'Custom Avatars Folder' exists 2 times. Use phpMyAdmin for this. Select table 'setting', sort by 'description' and look... I think the entry is 2 times also available there. Delete the 2nd entry and check the settings in vB Admin options. I don't know what has caused this. But it wasn't the avatar hack uninstallation.

Hi! I see all the categories, but when I try to select, it just won't let me. I need to tell you that I also installed your one avatar taken hack. They worked beautifully on my test board. On this board, it reverts to the no avatar selected unless you use/upload a custom avatar.

I looked and could only find one. :disappointed:

[bad_madman]

Hm. My hack 'one use avatar' isn't compatible with 'avatar category hack'. I must change this... Please undo changes for hack 'one use avatar'. I'll write a changed version of the hack 'one use avatar'...

your 2nd problem: strange. very strange :confused: I don't know. Have you changed the file admin/options.php?

[Diva]

It isn't compatible? Drat! That's a great hack, too! I would love to know when you do make a modified version.

I'll look through my hacks to see if I had to do that. Thanks again!

[Prophet2002]

Okay i got the d/b problem fixed but still havin one more. In user cp the categories show up mixed (always the last five are from a diffrent categorie). Also when selecting a diffrent categorie from the drop down box, the screen refreshes but the same avatars are shown. Funny though, in admin cp it works fine, the groups show as as they are supposed to and no problems changing groups. Any ideas on how to fix this?

[Tim Wheatley]

Er, is this working for 2.2.6 then or is it still beta? I haven't read a single 'great, thanks - got this working...' ??

[Diva]

It's working great in 2.2.6 now. I just can't use the noavatar.gif hack with it.

But this one is great!

[Tim Wheatley]

Thanks. :) It was kind of difficult to see whether it was working or not! lol

[Skyrender]

For some reason The Cat Doesnt show up at all

[Ron ? DCS]

I think I found a bug...

My custom avatars are supposed to be for a select group of people, namely, my "supporting members." However, I have been finding new members when first signing up having the ability to access these custom avatars...

I couldn't figure it out for a while, but finally found the problem...when a new member first signs up, there is a drop down box containing ALL avatars, including custom-made ones...

I've tried everything to get rid of this problem, including "hiding" the custom avatar category, to no avail...the rest of the program works perfectly, is there a solution to this particular problem?

[Diva]

Okay, I just noticed something like that too. All of the "New" avatars I uploaded are showing, including the ones in a 'hidden' folder. But my older ones are not, including avatars that are supposed to be seen.

[Ron ? DCS]

Any answer on this?

It's getting extremely frustrating dealing with all these new users using custom avatars that are only available to supporting members!

[trainer]

how is this on the server ?

it appears to be killing my server

[pran]

I installed this hack on a 2.2.7-RC system. I defined some categories and added the avatars with ease. I then tested if how would the hack perform from a user's point of view. The first page was just fine but when I clicked the drop-down list box, everything was just screwed up. Here's some screenshots of the initial page and after jumping to another category:

[pran]

Anybody home?

[Feanor]

I would also like to know if there's a fix for the "initial-sign-up-choose-any-avatar" thing - thanks for any help :)

well i removed the file changes to see if it was that... it wasn't becoz it still didn't work... so i then i undid the file changes and ran the uninstall part of the hack wich removes the database changes that were made... and the error is still there :(

[Diva]

So, is the Bad_Madman back and ready to tackle these questions?

[Hoffi]

Installed and works perfectly!
Thanks!

[bad_madman]

@Mist: I make a suggestion to you :bandit: Installs the hack once again and then send me the member.php, if you still get the error (db error) ;) Perhaps there is another fault in the file ...

@Diva: Yea. I'm back :) How can I help you *fgg
Are these problems still up-to-date?
It's working great in 2.2.6 now. I just can't use the noavatar.gif hack with it.

Okay, I just noticed something like that too. All of the "New" avatars I uploaded are showing, including the ones in a 'hidden' folder. But my older ones are not, including avatars that are supposed to be seen.

[bad_madman]

@Ron ? DCS: You are right. There is a fault. I still must adapt the file register.php. A small update for this file follows. Thank for the note

My custom avatars are supposed to be for a select group of people, namely, my "supporting members." However, I have been finding new members when first signing up having the ability to access these custom avatars...

I couldn't figure it out for a while, but finally found the problem...when a new member first signs up, there is a drop down box containing ALL avatars, including custom-made ones...

I've tried everything to get rid of this problem, including "hiding" the custom avatar category, to no avail...the rest of the program works perfectly, is there a solution to this particular problem?

[Dean C]

neva mind it was my poor coding lol :)

@pran: Do you still get the fault? I will install version 2.2.7. However, I suspect a fault in the changed file member.php. :confused:

[Diva]

Hey Bad_Madman! welcome back. Yes. Here are my problems,.

1. Avatars do not show correctly when a new person registers. They don't show all avatars, only newest downloaded and they also show hidden categories.

2. The taken avatar hack doesnt work with the category hack. [this is my other favorite!] It makes it so no one can select an avatar.

I can't wait for the update!!!

[rochen]

How do I apply an avatar to a group? Like avatar 1 to all of the admin group? I can't seem to find that option...

Thanks and great hack! :)

[rochen]

ok, worked that out... but how do I apply an avatar to all new users by default?

[Diva]

^^ BUMP ^^
Looking forward to the update, Bad_Madman. Thanks for responding. :) *Crosses fingers*

[look4you]

Wow what an incredibly cool hack!

Really looked at the screenshots, and what I saw so far, I really really love it. This is the first time I express my gratitude about a hack.

Really great job, and it's good to see such good support on a hack as well.

Not that I have much groups, but it's always to have a male, female section with avatars and a staff section as well. :)

Damn I wish I could do magic like this (yeah now someone will pop up and say it's easy or not a lot work to do, screw them).

Oh and sorry for so much input, I just think work like this deserves some gratitude.

[Feanor]

Superb, it works!! Thank you very, very much :)

[Dean C]

could you tell us what steps we need to do to update from the previous version to this one?

[bad_madman]

Only one file must be changed (register.php). Pls upload "sqltodos.php" from zip archiv into your forums admin directory and call the scipt in your broswer. Then select 'Click here for an update installation from v1.30.'

[Dean C]

oh cool....

Thanks

Anyhow, love to use this hack, just want to know how will it impact the database, when I come to move to vb3, any chances its gonna cause problems?

yes i would say so... but im sure bad_madman will update it for when vb3 comes out :D

However it'll be no good if he updates the hack but I cant use it as my database its corrup :)

I am getting a strange error with 2.2.8

When I click on my FAQs I get a:
Parse error: parse error in /homepages/31/d5773882/htdocs/megapages/vboard/misc.php on line 230

When I take out the code from the avatar system it works fine! This also affected my SMILIES, when I clicked on GET MORE it showed the same error message, now that I removed this part of the HACK it works fine ( the rest of the board ).

The "cutting" of the code also does not seem do anything to the Avatar Hack because it still works.

What does the code in the misc.php do? Is it "just" for the FAQs? I could live with not having it in the FAQs if the board works fine otherwise and the hack as well.

[Dynamic One]

Thanks for this great hack. Will use this 1 for sure.

[UnForums2k]

why can new members get the avatars that are set for spacific catagorys when thier not in there!! the catagory permissions doesnt seem to be working with 2.2.8

[SS9267547]

I just had a quick question about this hack. Now what I was wondering is how would I go about displaying the category a user is viewing on their page? So for example it would print "You are currtenlty under category: Number 1". If anyone have any ideas please let me know, thanks.

[Strider Xero]

I wanted to know which files this hack modifies? The reason is because I have other hacks installed. It doesnt say in the readme file,

[Solice]

I was hoping someone might be able to help me out with this... I tried installing the hack on 2.2.9 and it everything works except for member.php and misc.php... and sadly I can't seem to figure out how to get them to work ~_~

I greatly appreciate any and all help anyone gives me... thankies in advance ^.^


Ok, i figured telling the erroes might help... on misc.php it says theres a parse error on line 232.... all thats on that line is the ?> command...

I actually got members.php to work kinda... its actually showing the page now, but still not the cats, once again any help is greatly appreciated ^^



weeeeeeeeeeeeee..... ::does happy dance:: well I got members.php working... not bad for someone with zero php/mysql knowledge :P... misc.php still doesn't work, but I dun really care about it much, if someone wants to help on it, its appreciated, if not, oh well ~_~

[dmark101]

hmm.

i'm having this problem:

the permissions are active. i've set it so that only admins and mods have permission to modify or even have an avatar. i've set up categories for them. i've even changed the minimum post settings to make them high enough so that ONLY those groups that have permission can change them.

the deal is, new users can select their own avatar! what is the dealio? :(

i'm using vB 2.2.9 and i'm seriously considering ditching this mod and not allowing avatars at all.

[kevinnguyen]

does it work with 2.3.0?

[TVboardsXcom]

Yeah I need to know the same thing, does this work with 2.3.0? Because I really need this and I have 2.3.0....

Thanks.

[dmark101]

hmm.

nice to see the support for this.

i'm through monkeying around with this mod. i'm de-installing it and adding avatars manually. it will save me the headache of not getting any damned answers. :x

[Splitfyre]

want to implement this but must wait til VB3.0

[GZ_Tanis]

yes it works on 2.3.0 I am using it on my boards www.gzleagues.com/forum

Cannot get the categories to show up when going into change my avatar. Can anyone help?

[GZ_Tanis]

I dont know dude it worked fine for me I have had this hack since I got vb

One thing I always do once I install a hack is to go thru the staeps again to make sure i did everything correct.

[Splitfyre]

Time to go through it again. :(

[Splitfyre]

The dropdown appears when a user goes in and tries to navigate through the folders, however:

It doesn't switch over and just shows the same avatars??

Help. I've gone through this install twice.

I had a bloody hard time installing this hack - but now it works...
this is on a 2.2.9

if someone ever gets a member.php error on line 901 remove the ar"; on that line ... that's what caused problems for me - but after removing it - worked

We cant upload avs through cp anymore though ... only via ftp and then adding - can anyone tell me why?

[gmarik]

If this works on 2.3.0, it's REALLY what I was searching for all the time, thanks.

[Steve W.]

I had some avatars of 64x64 uploaded, and my members could access them fine. Then I reuploaded them as 95x95 and readded them to the categories, and now none of them work. They show up in the select avatar bit fine, but when you look at a postbit or the welcome panel, it just shows "avatar not selected". Any ideas why?

How can i add a maxiumpost setting to the avatar_categ.php file so that i can use it to set the maxium by category.

[Buczilla]

Thanks a bunch, AWESOME hack... Im about to search for this, but just gonna post it to be safe... is there a way to get rid of the (# of avatars) after the name of each category? Thanks!

[dmark101]

hey guys. i have a bit of a problem. i've posted about this before and i haven't had any answers.

i've installed the hack on vb2.2.9. i can creat the categories and i can upload avatars to the categories. what i am having a problem with is trying to exclude people from being able to select an avatar.

my site has donating members and they, along with the forum moderators, can have avatars, but no one else can.

do i exclude the user groups from the category in order to keep them from being able to select an avatar?

or do i include them in order to keep them from selecting one?

any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

[wwwabbit]

I am in the same boat as dmark101......
It's all installed, but I don't know how to make it do what I want.... I want so "registered" users get nothing to do with Avatar's, but everyone else (the other 5 member groups we have) can have an avatar, and upload there own, etc. I am lost as how to set it up so it can do that.

Thanks!

Hmm. only a quick workaround:
search in member.php for:
if (($avatarallowupload or $avatarallowwebsite) and $bbuserinfo[posts] >= $avatarcustomposts) {
and replace with
if (($avatarallowupload or $avatarallowwebsite) and $bbuserinfo[posts] >= $avatarcustomposts and
$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6) {
6 for the user groupid (User group) which can play with avatars (upload).

For more than one group this code:
if (($avatarallowupload or $avatarallowwebsite) and $bbuserinfo[posts] >= $avatarcustomposts and
($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==4 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==5 ||
$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6 ...)) {

[JGM007]

Hmmm.. I could be crazy, but I have had no problems up to 2.3.1

But today since I am moving to a new web host in the AM I figured I would take advantage of a fresh install of 2.3.2 since it just came out.

For the life of me I can figure out why I can not see the avatars when going to choose a new avatar, but they DO show up under the FAQ.

I see the dropdown list, reports the correct number of avatars...

I have done a fresh install 2X and checked for errors a few times now. Not to ask this common phrase, but... Has anyone tried it on 2.3.2 since it was released today?

You can take a gander at the problem at:
http://aries.lunarpages.com/~madoshi2/sobanoodles/

If you look at before 7am Eastern time it will look kinda bland there. From 7am till 8 or 9 it will be offline while I move the db into place.

I want to place the blame on a template issue... but I am not sure.

[King Badklow]

Yeah, today i update my foruns for 2.3.2 and this happening with me too. I cant see the avatars, but the droopdown list show the numbers of avatar for categories

Oops. With update 2.3.2 come a new function for a better page-navi in the file 'admin\functions.php'. But no problem:
search in member.php for $perpage = $numavatarshigh * $numavatarswide;and inserting (!!!) the following lines under this if (!isset($pagenumber) or $pagenumber==0) $pagenumber=1;
$limitlower=($pagenumber-1)*$perpage+1;
$limitupper=($pagenumber)*$perpage;

and search in member.php for sanitize_pageresults($totalavatars, $pagenumber, $perpage, $perpage, $perpage);

$limitlower=($pagenumber-1)*$perpage+1;
$limitupper=($pagenumber)*$perpage;and replace with// sanitize_pageresults($totalavatars, $pagenumber, $perpage, $perpage, $perpage);

I would really love the ability to allow specific users access to a certain category. I want to give Contributors to my forum access to a category containing a selection of special avatars.

Is this possible?

[JGM007]

Thank you bad_madman!! Works like a charm! ^_^

You were right on top of that one. Thank you again for the great hack!

[JGM007]

Heya bad_madman, I think I found another bug, I am not sure.
In the admin/user.php I get an error on line 671 when I try to use the functions under users: add find move/prune


line 671 points to the } at the end of the section: // ###################### Start modify Avatar ################




//at the end of the section//
//line 671 for me ->// }


// ###################### Start Update Avatar ################


If I remove the line the admin/user functions work again but it shows admin functions again, but errant bits from the avatar selection code show up :D

If you need more information let me know and I will try to provide you with it.

[poetic]

i get a error in admin/user on line 673 when i try to delete inactive users and click on the ip address link in admin cp can you figure it out madman

[NuclioN]

after changing server the avatar cat. hack isn't working. It shows all avatars, members can choose one but it is not updating the existing custom (url) avatar or if they haven't one...! We're on vb 2.0.6 and it has worked perfect but now i wonder what to do. I've chmod 777 the avatar_categ.php but that doesn't work eighter.

[blakkboy]

i really need help with this problem of mine

[drives fast]

just an FYI

if you are installing this hack for the first time.....there is no mention of the changes needing to be made to register.php, you will have to find them in the other links listed in the sqltodos.php

also.....if you have not categorized avatars....those are the only ones that will appear in the list during the registration process...none of the ones in the categories will appear in the list

My solution to that was to disallow the selection of an avatar in the registration process by removing the code from the template... they can go to their usercp to select one since everything shows properly in there.

also.....according to the screen shots.....the word "hidden" in red by categories I am assuming that you have sent so only admin/mods can select....there is nothing referencing that in any of the hack that I can find

otherwise...I got this working fine without too much hassle other than finding and fixing my own mistakes

[Cyricx]

Everything is workin fine for me on 2.3.2 but I get a permissiondenied when I try to upload :(

[blakkboy]

^^^ i get that same problem with the same version

[drives fast]

try the "uninstall" link the the installer

[blakkboy]

apparently this hack doesnt work with version 2.3.2

maybe madman could fix it so that it did

[Delusional]

I hope so. My board theme definatly has alot of catagories. the members will have to deal with it for now i guess lol. I hope this hack can be edited for our version soon

[bexie]

Yes, I have 2.3.2 (a very poor version for those who like hacks...*sigh*) and I had my friend who is hack smart and has used this on his sites to install it for me, and he couldn't get it to work.

PLEASE get a version of this for 2.3.2. It's so useful, and I would love to have it...but it just doesn't work for 2.3.2 (like a gazillion other hacks, growl!)

Thanks! Fantastic hack...it just needs to have a bit of an update. :)

[brownafroduck]

I am running on 2.3.2, and I have found plenty of hacks that work. They may not say that they are for 2.3.2, but they still work. Are you sure that you guys haven't made any mistakes in your modding? On the previous page, there was a person who said that he/she got the hack to work after madman posted some code to change specifically for 2.3.2. :)

[Matt]

Has no-one figured out how to fix this yet? I really need a working version on my forum asap and I can't seem to find a way to fix it myself :(

[Delusional]

yay i got it to work on 2.32 great hack and thanks so much!

what was the problem

heres my problem when i click on the change avatar link in pik 1 it takes me to pik 2 instead of the avatar gallery......


ive uninstalled the hack but i still get this problem

[bupk1s]

i just installed and have a smallish problem...
i set everything up right i think its all working bar one little thing..
so far i have two catagories one with 5 avatars one with 15
but although the drop down menu shows the right number it then shows all the avatars of both catagories regardless of what i click

what i do wrong?

Hi! I used this hack in my vBulletin v 2.3.4 . I followed all the steps, and i have now the categories in CSS, but i can't see the avatars (although there's the number of avatars behind the categories). Anybody knows the problem?? Thanx

[Jeremy Kurucz]

I am using VB 2.3.4, and I installed the av category's, and everything worked alright - and I did those changes you suggested to the member.php.

But, when I click a category, all the avatars show up, even if they aren't in that category...

[Paige4Ever]

Hi! I did all the installation again, and now i can see the avatars in 5x5 tables, but i still have problems.

1st - I have several categories, but i always see the same avatars in all the categories. Only 50, but always the same, the last i upload.

2nd - Avatars have an order, but when i upload them, their order is random.

If somebody knows the problem, please answer me. Thanx a lot

[Jeremy Kurucz]

Yea, I have the same problem Paige4Ever!

[WotC_Mel]

hmmm. *bump*? I am hoping someone can take a look at Jeremy and Paige's problems before I try it on my 2.3.4.

I have installed this on my message board and it's working beautifully for the most part. Problem is - everytime I try to go to a different category, I can't see past the first page of those avatars. I go to 01 Moderators and click on page 2 and it automatically takes me back to the 2nd page of the first category that I can see - 00 Admin Emma. I'm running 2.3.4 - it works GREAT for the most part so I'm sure it's compatible, but has anyone with 2.3.4 hacked this in, encountered the problem, and fixed it? If so PLEASE help!

edit: I CAN see the avatars in each admin category, but for the regular member avatars they're all in one big group, just like others.

[Edison Chen]

I have tried to install this hack and being a newbie, I think I will tend to make some mistakes. Can someone help me figure out this problem? I've attached it as a screenshot. Apparently, the avatars are not showing up.

ETA: It's fixed. For those whose avatars are not showing up in the UserCP, go ahead and check out page 27 and you will get it.

[MarkL]

I did all the steps on page 27 and I'm still getting the problem where all the avatars show up, even in different categories. Can someone please help? I'm using 2.3.5. Thanks :)

I am on 2.3.4 and i get this error

Database error in vBulletin 2.3.4:

Invalid query id specified

The files all look correct and seems okay. What could this problem be from?

[Lexina]

You were faster. :D
When I go into member.php and we are told to search for:

$pagenav = getpagenav($totalavatars,"member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=editavatar&perpage=$perpage");

I can't find it anywhere... I am using 2.3.5 version... so anyideas? I tried going on without it but the categories didnt show up in the userCP when I skipped that part.. Help?

[CFF Staff]

I'm running 2.3.5, any idea how I can get this to work for my version... Thanks.

[CFF Staff]

Alright. Version vbulletin 2.3.5 Needs assistance.
Hack installed good, when on page to edit or change avatar. The drop-down list of the avatar categories is displayed. However, when you click on it, it loads and nothing shows up. Please advise.

does anyone have problems with this hack as to why you can't upload avatars from someone profile? Did I miss something? Should I just unstall it then reinstall it again? Help.. I have 2.3.5.. thanks

[Heazy]

bumppppp

[Heazy]

Sorry but I got this fixed, turned out some of the files were missing some codes. :-s So thanks ! (on vb 2.3.5)

[Bella Luna]

I'm havinbg a serious problem and I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm not be using the same hack version, but I'll try none the less ...

Well obviously the hack isn't working and whenever I try to change or edit my own AV now, I get this. :dead:

[Marco van Herwaarden]

you have a trailing comma "," in your query.

[Bella Luna]

Just delete it?

Ok, not meaning to sound like a boob, but I haven't touched a vB in about 2 years. Need a refresher course I'm thinking. :(

[CFF Staff]

Hello, my problem is quite simple... I have followed the installation instructions to the letter. All appears correctly with one exception. The category drop-down box appears and it says that it's showing 1 to 36 of 36 avatars, however, the avatars aren't showing.

Please advise.........aasap...

Additonal problem under user.php

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '}' in /home2/theufpo/public_html/admin/user.php on line 671

[Destroyed Soul]

I Reinstalled it, and now I have a new problem.... The avatars dont show up, at all... How can I make the avatars show up!??! It looks just like the normal avatar selection, but with no av's... There is a Screencap attached.

[Destroyed Soul]

bump

[Alex Carter]

I have the same problem... Not sure that anyone's checking this thread to help though :(

[Heazy]

Oops. With update 2.3.2 come a new function for a better page-navi in the file 'admin\functions.php'. But no problem:
search in member.php for $perpage = $numavatarshigh * $numavatarswide;and inserting (!!!) the following lines under this if (!isset($pagenumber) or $pagenumber==0) $pagenumber=1;
$limitlower=($pagenumber-1)*$perpage+1;
$limitupper=($pagenumber)*$perpage;

and search in member.php for sanitize_pageresults($totalavatars, $pagenumber, $perpage, $perpage, $perpage);

$limitlower=($pagenumber-1)*$perpage+1;
$limitupper=($pagenumber)*$perpage;and replace with// sanitize_pageresults($totalavatars, $pagenumber, $perpage, $perpage, $perpage);

// $limitlower=($pagenumber-1)*$perpage+1;
// $limitupper=($pagenumber)*$perpage;


Believe me people been having this problem a lot, try this, cuz mine is up and going.. if you do what this part ^^^ up here tells ya.. then you should see you avatars AND you gotta put them in order as well, like if you have,

Avatar Misc 0
Avatar #2 0

You gotta put 1 then 2 then fix the order.. that should work as well.. and you have to put in the schemes too.. I hope that helps (blushes)

Buggy problem on 2.3.5 with the registration process.

It has been occuring a lot that people while registering have access to all avatars, even the ones marked for certain usergroups only. I have it currently circumvented by removing the avatarbits from the registration templates, but is there a more convenient solution for this?

Cheers

[Destroyed Soul]

it doesnt work.... the parts arent there

[CFF Staff]

Alright. Version vbulletin 2.3.6
I ran the installation file for his modification, I also edited the necessary templates and files that the installation file instructed you to as well as installing the necessary template files. The problem is that when your in the area on the forums that you select or change your avatar, you can clear see the drop-down list of the categories for avatars and it will say, displaying avatars 1-7 of 7 (74 Avatars total), and then nothing. Basically it displays the categories but not the avatars.

The link to my forums is included below, they are called: Charmed Forever Forums! This is a very important issue for my members, because I have them all complaining about it. so, please the moderators here, I'm requesting a solution answer to my problem as soon as humanly possible. If necessary, you can contact on AIM: ElderLeoWyatt OR EMAIL: leowyatt_whitelighter@yahoo.com OR Work Cell: (216) 254-0539 Thank you very much for your time and look forward to your expediant reply.

That's the problem I am currently having. I can see it in the admin cp when I am editting a member's profile. But in the User cp, I can't see the avatars. I really do hope that a mod here can help us, since the creater is MIA.

I have a vb version 2.3.3 and that hack won't work on it. I've tried everything. Can someone explain me how to make it work from the scratch please?

[The Phantom]

First, try a fresh install of the hack and then search this thread for the fix to it. I can remember the specific link but someone has made some code to fix that problem for our new version 2.3.x vBulletins. The answer is here. :)

========================================

Can you please give me the code to correct this, thank you.

[Saskia]

As noted by the hack creator: this hack is not supported. This guy hasn't been online in months and the hack is almost 5 years old.

vBulletin and Jelsoft have nothing to do with hack support, so emailing them is quite useless actually.

Personally I suggest upgrading to a vBulletin 3. I didn't get this hack to work either a few months ago on a vBulletin 2.3.x version and since it's implemented in the newer vBulletin versions, I just upgraded to vBulletin 3 and did my thing there. I would highly suggest doing that, trust me you'll benefit from it eventually. You can get the looks of vBulletin 2 done with vBulletin 3 if you want, so there's no real pressing reason to stay on vBulletin 2 these days.

Good luck.
