I don't know :confused: But I assume that the Script to writing does not have sufficient rights. Make the forums folder and the forums/admin folder 777 chmod. PHP required to have permission to write files to disk. If they do not have the neccessary permissions, it will fail.

I'll have to get back to you as when I manually CHMOD the directories, they don't stick.

Ok I got another suggestion. In the admin CP when you are selecting an avatar for someone to use, like to reset it, or give them a custom avatar or something. Could you also add the hack to that part of it?

I'm terribly confused. :(

I installed the hack and while I can define categories in Admin just fine, when I go to change the avatar in my user CP, I don't get any sort of drop down menu of any sort.

I have followed the instructions PERFECTLY. So I don't understand what's wrong.

:(

Is there SUPPOSED to be a category drop down menu?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Okay, well I got the dropdown list to work (I think) however I had to go into the "modifyavatar" template and replace $avatcategorie with the contents of the view_avatarcategories template.

Why did I have to do this? What does the $avatcategorie variable call and why did it seem to completely ignore whatever it was supposed to do?

Will replacing it with the contents of the view_avatarcategories template cause any harm?

Thanks in advance.

Okay, I figured out what the problem was.

$avatcategorie is pulling up the template for view_avatarcategoriesdis instead of view_avatarcategories for some reason. I cannot figure out why.

In the PHP code it states the avatarcategoriesdis template will be called when, "$totalavatars=$totalavatars2" however I can't understand for the life of me WHY this isn't working for me or why the "totalavatars" and "totalavatars2" are equal to one another.

Is there something I'm not doing right? Please help

Thanks.

Okay, then the question remains, I guess . . . .

How do I activate the categories?

I have three so far . . . I don't see any option to "activate"

How would I go about doing that?

Thanks.

Oh!!

I got it. I had to go into options and select Yes for "Show up avatar categories" which for some reason was turned off.

Everything is working now and it's beautiful!!

Thanks for the great hack.

I'm really not this stupid, just my blonde roots showing through. :)

On the left side in the vB CP you find the point "Options" in the paragraph "Avatars / Categories". Then on right side: "Show up avatar categories" >> Yes/No (Categories activate/deactivate) ;)

Ever since I installed this hack, whenever I try to attach a file (with a permitted extension), I get error_avatarnotimage (The uploaded file is not a valid GIF or JPG file. Please ensure that it is an try again).

I installed this hack on a demo board as well, and the same thing happened. I undid everything (including the MySQL changes), but still it didn't help.

sorry , but is this hack works with the hack " Save avatar as file" ? Or pictures are saved in database ? Because my databse size is limited to 25Mb :(

I'm using v2.0.3, and yes, I installed at least a dozen hacks.
But I'm not sure if it's this hack's fault, maybe something in the PHP configuration that got changed. Someone in the troubleshooting area is checking this now.
Thanks anyway. :)

Is there any way you can add so that each category can have different user titles?

This way Star Wars Male could have male titles like Han Solo etc
and Star Wars Female could have like Princess Leia?


Thank you :) this works great and will make it easier on me and my users to find a icon.

Ok, I've done the install, but for some reason I am not getting the dropdown menu of categories. And the avatars that appear in the list are all from the first category only.

Any idea what the problem might be?

HellRazor

I am using a stock VBulletin 2.0.3. My database mods have already been made successfully, but I'm having problems getting the drop-down category list to appear.

Can someone upload the modified files for 2.0.3 for me?

HellRazor

Razor,

Have you checked to make sure you didn't make the mistake I made?

Go click on Options under Avatars / Categories then make sure you have "Show up avatar categories" set to "Yes"

If that isn't the problem, hopefully another kind person here will be able to help. :)

Yep, had it set to "yes". But thanks for the tip!

Well, not sure what I was doing wrong before, but I tried the install again and it worked this time. :) Thanks everyone!

Ok, got it installed, but now I have another problem.

Since I installed the hack, the custom avatars don't seem to work. It will let you enter a URL or upload the avatar, but the avatar itself never actually displays (the picture isn't being found wherever its trying to look). Any suggestions?

Here is the generated HTML, if it helps:

<font face="verdana, arial, helvetica" size="2" ><b>My Name</b></font><br>
<font face="verdana,arial,helvetica" size="1" >My Title</font><br>
<img src="avatar.php?userid=1&dateline=998615847" border="0" alt=""><p>

Is this the way it should be? HTML for the avatars added normally comes out like this:

<font face="verdana,arial,helvetica" size="1" >Royal Advisor</font><br>
<img src="images/avatars/Human Males/Human Male 064.jpg" border="0" alt=""><p>

No I don't. This is the only hack I have installed.
