update i keep getting this error whenever i try and update a custom avatar into the custom_avatars folder.

Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/forums.gamer-pit.com/httpdocs/admin/user.php on line 706

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.

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'.

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.

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

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.

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.

I am actually ready.
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... :(

Are you sure that also custom avatars are in the list? Ok, you should know this better :D
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

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.
