I wish the documenation was updated. Now I don't trust myself as there are several "got ya's" due to inaccurate documention for V2.0 and you can't systematically follow exact directions. <sigh>

Can someone update the hack install documentation so that 2.0 gold users will know exactly what to do? Thanks.

Sven	05-30-2001 06:47 AM

Well, that's what we're asking for.... I already send out a PM to Kier (about a week ago)... but got no response :(

You may want to do the same as I have the assumption that he doesn't look into this thread at the moment.

I agree with Sharg...I have been looking for this hack for a long time no with no success. It should be made for the people with smaller databases with large webspace, that want to attach larger files. Please look into making this hack...It would be greatly appreshated!
Thanks,

I would just go for getting the documenation updated. :(

Great hack, I love it, just been holding out on installing it. It installed without any problems. I really like the installer that is coming with these hack, it really saves time.

Edit: the dateline you guys are talking about didn't affect it when I installed it. I just acted like it wasn't there, and just put what is in the installation instructions. It works fine without the dateline stuff.

Would this be easily modified to allow users to serve their avatars from their web server?

Figure it might save a lot of bandwidth if I allow custom avatars and require them to be served elsewhere.

Thanks for this hack .

How can I have "custom_avartars" in another folder not the vBB fodler ? Coz I want a share avatars folder with another forum and gallery .

Thanks in advance

Has anyone been able to make this work on VB 2.0.1? What changes in the instructions did you do? I "really" like to incorporate this hack coz it'll save me valuable database space, as well as protect my avatar images with mod_rewrite ...

Anyone care to update the instructions? please? :(

Check my board

See this,I edit this hack from Kier.
It works well on my board vb2.0.1.
this zip include two files. install_db2fileavatars.php adn install.txt.
Unzip this zip,upload and run install_db2fileavatars.php in your board admin dir.Then edit and upload your file as install.txt.
Good luck!

Christian

When the hack is installed and all files are stores in the folder, is it safe to empty the custom_avatar table then?

Dimitri

06-29-2001 10:25 PM

Only problem with ztsky's version of this hack is that the avatar will no longer display on the profile page, whether it's your edit profile page or someone else's view profile page. Can you modify the 'hack' in the members.php file so it still shows it in profile pages? Works fine otherwise. ;)

just like this
in member.php,
1??find :

Code:

$userinfo[avatarurl]=getavatarurl($userinfo[userid]);

  if ($userinfo[avatarurl]=="") {

    $userinfo[avatarurl]="images/clear.gif";

replace with this:

Code:

$userinfo[avatarurl]=getavatarurl($userinfo[userid]);

  if ($userinfo[avatarurl]=="") {

  if ($userinfo[avatarrevision]>0) {

                  $userinfo[avatarurl]="custom_avatars/avatar$userinfo[userid]"."_$userinfo[avatarrevision].gif";

     }          else

    $userinfo[avatarurl]="images/clear.gif";

2??find

Code:

if ($bbuserinfo[avatarurl]=="") {

    $bbuserinfo[avatarurl]="images/clear.gif";

replace with this:

Code:

if ($bbuserinfo[avatarurl]=="") {

  if ($bbuserinfo[avatarrevision]>0) {

                  $bbuserinfo[avatarurl]="custom_avatars/avatar$bbuserinfo[userid]"."_$bbuserinfo[avatarrevision].gif";

        }  else

    $bbuserinfo[avatarurl]="images/clear.gif";

I've got 2.0.0. So do I just ignore the dateline stuff and put what's in the installation instruction? Will it really work?

I'm hesitant of hacking the code unless I'm 100% sure it will work and not crash.

btw can somebody update the instruction for 2.0.x users?

Fatal error: Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='') in /home/mx3dm1/public_html/vb/admin/install_db2fileavatars.php on line 2

This is what I get. Im using php3 files since vB refuses to install when I use .php.

Im wondering, can I just change the .php in your installer file to .php3?

Also, when you say:

Quote:

1) Firstly, you will need to create a new folder in your forums directory called custom_avatars and set the permissions on the folder to 777.

Do you mean create in the root forum folder, or in the /images folder? If not, do I need to move all the other avatars in my images/avatars folder to the new one?

Bump. Come on, no one?

Doesn't 2.0.1 include this hack already?

Same with attachments?

How to apply this hack in vB 2.0.3?

showthread.php changed completly, I just cannot replace some code, because it is not there.

Kier or Freddi, please?

Greetings, The Professor!

eXtremeTim

08-07-2001 08:36 AM

in the newer version ov vb it seems that the users only have to hack member.php and admin functions.php and the hack seems to work fine.

TheProfessor

08-07-2001 11:32 AM

Yes, in fact it works fine, but just when viewing the member's profiles or private messages.

When showing threads, avatars will be still loaded from the SQL-Server.

Greetings, The Professor!

eXtremeTim

08-07-2001 12:26 PM

yea i just noticed that so you just have to hack the showthread file up.

eXtremeTim

08-07-2001 12:47 PM

i did some searching and found were the coding to hack up is at now so latter tonight i will see about releasing a new version of this hack for vbulletin 2.0.3

Castel

08-10-2001 12:07 AM

Any progress in getting this to work properly for 2.0.3 showthread?

HalfBreed

08-12-2001 07:00 PM

**BUMP**

Dakota

08-17-2001 06:14 AM

Here's how to get it working in 2.0.3

In admin/functions/php, announcement.php and private.php

Find:

PHP Code:


		
			
    if ($post[hascustomavatar] and $avatarenabled) {

      $avatarurl="avatar.php?userid=$post[userid]&dateline=$post[avatardateline]";

and replace it with:

PHP Code:


		
			
      if ($post[hascustomavatar] and $avatarenabled) {

        if ($usefileavatar) $avatarurl="custom_avatars/avatar$post[userid]_$post[avatarrevision].gif";

        else $avatarurl="avatar.php?userid=$post[userid]";

Do you have to run the install again after upgrading?

If so, which one did you use?
The original or the one of the modified hack?

Castel

08-23-2001 05:07 PM

Dakota, that's the exact same code as the original hack. I am aware that the showthread.php changes are now in functions.php but this doesn't make it work.

Look at the source code of a thread with a custom avatar and you will see the avatar is still img src=avatar.php.... while on other pages that display the avatar it does indeed come for the custum_avatars folder.

08-24-2001 11:39 PM

Keir, buddy. Please rerelease an update for your hack!!! It is needed.

dost	08-25-2001 01:41 AM

Yes please I also want to use this hack with vB 2.0.3

centris

08-25-2001 03:09 PM

Would someone PLEASE start a new thread for 2.03 hacks. I ran the install script and then found that the code did not match, now I have to wait for an update.

Sven	08-29-2001 04:54 PM

Mhmm, if just Kier would look into here and post something like:

Yes, I'm going to update, be patient

or at least

No, I'm too busy, sorry

pier	09-04-2001 01:14 PM

Any news yet ? My forum needs this mod to work!
thanks for your great feature

pier

tamarian

09-04-2001 11:05 PM

I have a guess why Kier didn't update the hack.

It's already done on the vB 2.0.4 waiting for release! :D
