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) ;)
