How do you get this to show up on vBadvanced CMPS?

Definitely something I'm keeping an eye on for future updates and features. Not to sure about the point system, guess I don't mind the based on posts part so much, but I would rather it start from scratch at the time of install. But still, not a big issue with me.

I'm going to start making some packs for my gaming site to use, I foresee a lot of my time in the near future creating monsters and weapons and bg's like the blood moor or avalon. ;)

This is a very, very cool hack. I cannot wait to see what other things come of this. It reminds me a lot of the Gia (or however that very busy forum is called). Thanks for all your hard work.

I have two above posts that have been here for about 24hrs.. Never mind the 2nd, I need to get it to show on the forums before I do CMPS.. When does the coder get back in town?

UnInstalled

I can't wait until we can have transparent backgrounds as defaults :) Any updates :)

I just got back from vacation, you can expect transparent backgrounds soon :)

Hey quacky! :)

Can you tell me what template or plugin i edit to adjust the image path? I have www.alchemist-team.net and my forums are in /vb/ so avatars that use your mod wont show on the root. I want to make it direct location image :)

I'm not sure what portal you are using, but I haven't tested Living Avatars with portals etc so I don't know the solution for your website yet.

There isn't some sort of path to edit, you would probably have to modify the code in your portal to get the avatars to display.

vJoomla! The code is displayed in my navbar. It is showing the avatar code, its impossible for it to not be an editible path, somewhere, you must have the hook.

nice hack

thanks alo

I tried to install this great mod but I couldn't. I am getting an error from mysql (as if the pwd is wrong). I read through this thread, so I just want to make sure I understand this right: This is a known issue that will be resolved in a future release - correct?

I too had some trouble, if using the mod check to see if all file folders are properly formatted and named. Same with the images otherwise the pngs will not appear nor work properly.


Inescia.

How do you get to this page?

Update: I figured it out. You need to drill down to through the view packs.

I just launched an avatar pack release system:
http://www.livingavatars.com/avatar_packs

I hope to have over 40+ user avatar packs moved to that page soon.

For more information about the new avatar pack section:
http://www.livingavatars.com/forum/showthread.php?t=384

what if I wanted this as like a profile picture instead of the avatar....?

Then you modify the plugin, hook and file edits =/

I've installed this MOD. Great.
I purchased items and created avatar with ease. But when I edited it, press "Save avatar", I got this:
-----------------------
Warning: imagepng() [function.imagepng]: Unable to open '../avatars/la_1.png' for writing in absolute path on the HDD that hosts my site\forum\living_avatars\includes\saveavatar.php on line 176

Avatar Saved
-----------------------

- I use Windows host, not Linux
- I changed the permission with Cute FTP for the folder "/forum/living_avatars/avatars" by: right click >> Properties/CHMOD >> set the permission from 666 to 777 (read, write, execute for all owner, group, public). However, when I check it again, it still stay 666.
- The report said that "avatar saved", but in fact my avatar didn't change at all.

Would you please help. This is an urgent situation, and I'm not quite good at technical work. Promptly and detailed replies are highly appreciated.

You need to chmod the avatars folder to 777. It's really annoying to chmod folders when it comes to sites being hosted on windows servers. If you can't get it done via FTP then contact your server admin.

so basicly not something i could do myself.

Thank you, the server's admin has just changed the permission of the folder and it now works well.

However, there's another problem of displaying avatars. Admin's avatar (mine) is displayed in the user CP page, user profile page, and in all the post. But user's avatars are not. I can see their avatars in Admin Control Panel > User Manager, but those avatars are not display in either user profile page nor in their posts. They still can see their own avatar on their own user CP page, but that's all.

Please help! I use VBB 3.6.7 PL (latest version). Thank you very much.

Brilliant Installed great thanks!

That's strange, post a link to a user's profile that is currently having this trouble and I'll look into it when I get some free time.

The avatar packs page has been updated:
http://www.livingavatars.com/avatar_packs

My God that's excellent. I've never seen anything like it in my life.

*installs*
*nominates*

is the best mod i ever been see!

For future Release would be cool a Sell(Auction) Function or Trade Function with other users!

Fantastic. Just what I needed.
Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!

Installed. Love it!

I went through the index.php, forumlink.php and editavatar.php and translated it into German. It would be really really really nice to add phrases to your next release so we don't have hardcoded messages :)

This is AWESOME! I have a question though. It seems that the script looks at a user's TOTAL POSTS count in order to determine how many points that user has earned.

Can it be setup so that we can have the script look at another field to determine this value? See, I run a Virtual Airline website and our pilots have a custom profile field which shows how many flight hours a pilot has. And depending on how many hours a user has, it determines this user's rank.

So, if I can get LA to use this custom profile field, then my users will be able to dress their avatar with the right uniform depending on their hours (points).

I am guessing that it is hardcoded... Is this correct?

If so, can it be made so that it gives us the option to change the field LA uses to determine how many "points" a user will be awarded?

Another thing... Is this mod compatible with VB 3.6.7 PL1?

I ran across that query somewhere while translating. Yeah it's a hard-coded query, it would probably be easy just to change the table field it's querying. Right now it's using Total Post Count - points spent = Points remaining (available).

I'm using 3.6.7 PL1 and it works fine.

The bug that was fixed still remained on installation of 1.0.2 though where the items would re-center themselves after clicking enter.

Editing the la_position(s) table and setting x y z to unsigned fixed that problem, as per authors website.

Thanks for the help SkyCatcher, that was a great post.

i found the question but couldnt find the answer.. can this be integrated with an already running vbplaza points program

Do you have ANY idea when the next update will be?

It would be great to have the members points displayed in the postbit

Very soon.

suggestion for future versions, the ability to feed them, walk them etc so they don't die, this would increase people coming back to the forum alot! Maybe even getting special treats for your avatar depending on thread/post count...

I'd be happy if we could "discard" or maybe even sell items we own.

It takes forever to scroll down if you have hundreds of items in your possession :p

My suggestion for future versions is that it not only work with post only.
I prefer use for some usergroups.
It give now a lot of messages what is not useful on the forum , only to get points to use living Avatar

The next version will be available in the next couple of days and will have some really great new features. You can expect some amazing updates during this summer that will include many suggestions posted in this thread.

So happy that summer is here! :)

ETA on the update, what new features will it have?

Cheers,
