If you see something missing from the code please let me know, I will continue to hunt and peck around and try to figure it out.

I am not sure if it has been mentioned, but here goes:

This hack works very good with vBulletin 2.2.4 !

Sweet Mojo Nixon,

That did the trick!!!! I don't know how it vanished, maybe someone hacked into my forums when they were grumpy about their Birthday being displayed. I Dunno either.

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it (and the welcome panel hack also).

Mike :classic:

Does this hack include the birthday panel too? So when members have birthdays they are displayed ? Please help me out!

I should have read the posts LOL! My forum too, has the bdays missing hmmmm...will try those tips....

The birthdaybit is still on the bottom of your web page.
You can goto the same place where you had to move priv msg bit up, .. jus move birthday bit up there too.

Well just did the upgrade in 2.2.4 seems to have went fine but don't have my avatar appearing in the side panel sure I've just forgot something so will be re checking. However I did notice that...

Forum home now has

PHP Code:


		
			
$forumbits

$loggedinusers

$birthdaybits

$pminfo

So maybe people are replacing $birthdaybits by mistake.

Oh and I found my problem I uploaded the wrong index.php it's always the simplest things :laugh:

Excellent Hack!!! I love it I love it!!!!
Here is mine

Thank you trilObyte!!!!

Go to my page, it doesnt show the avatar there. I uploaded the avatar correctly and I can see them when I preview them under the Admin CP, but they arent there.

Hmmmm does 2.24 call the avatars differently? I've always had this installed at my site with no problem, but after installing 2.24 and reinstalling this hack my avatar isn't showing up. Also the "there have been xx threads and xx posts since your last visit" isn't working anymore......

Hey there :)

I just upgraded my forum to the final version of 2.2.5 and re-applied the Welcome panel hack :) No problems what so ever! Works like charm again.
Guess this has been confirmed to work on all 2.2.x versions :)

Hi,
just to state that this is a very nice and long awaited (at least by me) hack to vB, just installed a "lite-version" of it on our forums.
Thanks trilOByte! :)
cu,
-Tom

Wow,
your avatar r0xx0rz very cool cow!! Can I please use it on my forum?

Done!~
If someone from bbaddons has a prob with it, lemme know and I will remove it again. Currently I let users with 50+ posts use it :)

Any idea why my avatars are not showing up using 2.2.4 now? They have always worked in the past. http://www.sportcompactracing.com/vbulletin/index.php

did you rehack it after your upgrade? I just rehacked my pugzoners.com board and it worked. Some of the templates get overwritten with the upgrade.

Do you know where I can find a list of the template changes between 2.2.x and 2.2.4? I have vbportals installed and would hate to have to recreate my whole theme from scratch...

Thanks though Allen .....ohh and by the way I got my e-mail working over at f5 ;)

As for the list of template changes, I dont know...unless they have them at vbulletin.org in the announcements section....coolio with the email thihng also!

what did i do wrong? i installed this hack and in the avatar box, there is no avatar, also there is 2 PM panels. One where it is supposed to be, and one at the bottom... um help.

got it fixed, but the avatar thing still wont work???

having the same problem..http://forums.voogru.com

help plz

I tried using your forumhome template, and the avatar shows up just fine on mine. I would check your code in index.php :)

Oh my god, I nearly broke my balls trying to get this to work.
Now installed, I love it.

Thanks for a good hack...

-M

for some reason it didnt work for bout 2 days, but all of a sudden boom theres my avatar. lol

Oh man i'm an idiot. My web host moved the servers. I had been connecting to my ftp server via my ip address instead of host name. It turns out I was connecting to the old server. I was editing the templates for my site, but when I would change anything in the actual files it was being changed on the old server instead of the new one. I pulled my head out of my ass and now everything works at it should.

Great hack thanks. One question. I don't allow my users to change their own avatars. How can I disable the link to the edit avatar page when they click on the avatar in the "Welcome" hack?

Thanks,
Rick

Open root/index.php in your fav. editor and search for:

Code:

$avatarimage='<a href="member.php?s='.$session[sessionhash].'&action=editavatar"><img src="'.$avatarurl.'" border="0">';

And remove the <a> tag from it. BUT! I did not test it, and I do not see the </a> at the end of the line. SO not sure if this will end up in a broken link. But that is the line you need to alter.

Like some people have noticed,

If you have a big forum (like euhm.. about.. lets say 100.000 posts, like mine)
Than the welcome panel hack really slows down the page!!!

My page generation time with this hack is 2.5 seconds!!!
That's all because of these 2:

Query: SELECT COUNT(*) AS threads FROM thread WHERE lastpost > '1018738585'
Time before: 0.2525429725647
Time after: 0.34668505191803

Query: SELECT count(*) AS posts FROM post WHERE dateline > '1018738585'
Time before: 0.3487149477005
Time after: 1.9500440120697

You can speed this up by adding 2 indexes to your tables.

Just run these 2 query's once on your database:

ALTER TABLE `thread` ADD INDEX(`'lastpost`);
ALTER TABLE `post` ADD INDEX(`dateline`);

After running these 2 I was verry glad with the result:

Query: SELECT COUNT(*) AS threads FROM thread WHERE lastpost > '1018738585'
Time before: 0.40777695178986
Time after: 0.40917897224426

Query: SELECT count(*) AS posts FROM post WHERE dateline > '1018738585'
Time before: 0.41155600547791
Time after: 0.41288495063782

My page generation time is 0.5 seconds after this simpel modification.

Anyways, THX FOR THIS GREAT HACK!!!
