W00ttt!! first post ;) - thanks SkyCatcher.

*farooqaaa clicks install :)

3.5 please ?;)

Thanks :)

Well SOB lol. I searched for something like this before I started tinkering. I thought and I thought until my brain hurt and I came up with this thing... somehow I feel really dumb now :alien:

It wouldn't surprise me if Amykhar's hack also worked with 3.6.x. My appologies

SQL error in Whos Online page; and as unsupported had to uninstall.

1.01 Released. I'll try to support to the best of my ability. The sql error should be fixed, I also included an xml file for 3.5x.

It crashes the WOL Identification of ibProArcade 2.5.7+ . :surprised:

Hi, I reinstalled with the new version. Still getting some issues though; no SQL error though.

This appears at the top of the WOL page:Also avatar images are broken, it is trying to pull images from the database but they are in the file system. E.g.

Ok will tinker some more and get back to you.

Thanks Brian, very kind. :)

I do not get any SQL Errors or other Issues. But as i told you the Arcade WOS is deactivated.

Which version of VB are you using?

Just take a look at my Signature ..... :)

3.6.2

1.1 Released. I hope this works for everyone as I have tested it on 3.5 and 3.6 forums and it seemed to do the trick. I can't believe I almost fried my brain trying to fix this and then POOF > simple template edit did the job.

Let me know if it doesn't work please.

Do you know if this will cure my ailment?

It should since it's not using any queries or parsing anything really. It's just displaying the information that is available from already queried functions.

The plugin is no longer attached...

It doesn't use a plugin anymore ;)

Ahhh! It still gives me broken images... Hmmm...

You mentioned that your avatars are in your filesystem and not in the DB... is there an option in VB where I can change this?

Normally all avatars are in the DB, hence that's where the function for the avatar is pulling them from. If I can switch mine over to a filesystem I'd be able to troubleshoot it.


EDIT: ok changed my avatars to the filesystem. Will report back once it's fixed.

all my images are in the filesystem, installed the edit, and i get broken image paths...

squares with red x...

using 3.5 btw

I installed it and it works beautifully so far :)

just used amys as indicated in the first post, works excellent.

Hi Brian! I guess I will give Amy's a whirl, if it works there's no need to trouble you.

And for reference the option is in your Avatar settings in the vB ACP somewhere. It will import/export them on command. Can't remember exactly where though!

Yeah I found it and have been chain smoking since :(

I don't think Amy's works with 3.6.x so if you give it a try let me know.

I'm REALLY close to finishing this but I can't seem to pull the avatarrevision and it's KILLING MEEEEE!

LOL I chain smoke when I'm templating. I'd need to chew the stuff if I tried to code. :D

I'll avoid Amy's if it doesn't like 3.6. Will see if the nicotine yields an answer for you!

Good lord! I have done it!

It should work both both DB and Filesystem avatars now. There should be no errors on any pages and I have absolutely no idea if this will work with 3.5x. If you care to try, be my guest... just remove the executionorder=5 from the plugin before uploading it.

I need more cigs now...

It works Brian. Just not with every user... Only mine and 1 other person's is showing up.

>< You're just here to make me cry.. admit it!

Actually I know what the problem is. I pulled the avatarrevision from the DB (which is the number you see at the end of the image.. like avatarxxx_1.gif)

the _1 is what I needed and I thought I had it but unfortunately it pulls YOUR number for everyone....

I'm seriously running low on smokes.

Update 8237 coming up.

Dude I'm sorry!!!

I'm sorry, I have to stop and get some sleep. I'll continue working on it tomorrow.

So close and yet so far... :D

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

The conditional on line 5 appears to be missing its end tag (</if>). The template will not function properly unless this is fixed.

Whats the problem??? trying to load in 3.6.0

Well got that fixed not working!! Oh well ;-(

ALL of the images are showing up as a Red X on the who's online.

can you make this work for the "What's Going On" box in forumhome?

Re-Coded version 1.3.5 Now Released.

I may look into it later. Right now I want this to work 100% before branching out to other features.

Seems to work 100% now. But my WOL loads very very slowly... The actual page itself, not the avatar images. What does this do as far as queries are concerned?

It only adds one query to get all the information for the avatars. There's no way around that. Maybe someone in your house is using your wlan ;) lol.

Theoretically it shouldn't slow down unless you have hundreds of users online since it gets the avatar's paths from the DB for every user.
