I plan on testing it in 2.03 so I will get back to ya tonight.

*sniff* you did it for me? *sniff*
Get it working in 2.03 and I will put ever such good use to it!

My test at version 2.0.3 was just successful. You can use also my new Script, which everything executes automatically (tested on V2.01 and 2.03).

it's possible to have the same things for that page
http://www.latriade.net/forum/misc.p...on=showavatars

e.g selection of category and only XX avatars show per page

I'm not sure whether I got the instructions right:

If admin/index.php and member.php are already modified from previous hacks, will this cause any trouble?

If the two templates headinclude and modifyoptions are already edited how can I apply the changes without loosing those edits?

dood, excelent hack man, Im very pleased with it!
great job!

Small idea, how about allowing sub Categories. IE categories of Street Fighter, then a link to Male/Female/All

you mean like you almost done one with actuall catigories? like when they edit avatar insted of showing 50 per page, there in sections, and you like click into them, ect?

(excuse my spelling)
snyx

That's the plan. A drop down menu where you can select the sections.

However I suggest adding sub Categories.

You click on a selection, but then there is a link to more sections within the subject.

Like say you select star wars. Then it shows you a page that has links to people, bots, weapons... Stuff like that. Making stuff ever so sorted :)

Very cool, can't wait.
Got 2 questions, you don't have to answer em'
A) Will I be able to upgarde from THIS hack?
B) When ya think ya will have it? Week?
Thanks!

snyx

Great hack, this is one that should definately be included with vB. I have wanted something like this for a long time. I can't wait to see what else you come up with. Also looking forward to the show avatars addition to it when you get it done.

Wow! Impressive hack!

I am experiencing one issue though (although it's not mission critical it still is a concern) and that's within the control panel itself.

When I go to modify a particular category of avatars, it does list the avatars and everything just fine, however, at the top of the screen on EVERY category I get the same message:

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/hohavoc/public_html/vbPortal/forums/admin/db_mysql.php on line 154

Code:

 if ( isset($this->query_id) ) {

      line 154: $this->record = mysql_fetch_array($this->query_id);

    } else {

      if ( !empty($query_string) ) {

        $this->halt("Invalid query id (".$this->query_id.") on this query: $query_string");

      } else {

        $this->halt("Invalid query id ".$this->query_id." specified");

      }

    }

Any idea what this means??

I'm using the latest mysql, php, apache and linux kernel on our host.
v 2.0.3 of jelsoft's bulletin board.

I get the same error, but its really not a big deal, or atleast doesn't seem like it.

and replace it with:

Code:

$avatar_categs=$DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM avatar_categories WHERE avatar_categoriesid!=0");

Hmmm. Apparently nevertheless still a few bugs :(

Yes!!! But, that fix worked like a champ so that means one less to contend with. :)

I know it's a dumb question but I got lost between your two posts Bad_Madman

so now we have two files to download one is

avatar_hack.zip

and the other one is

automatic_install.zip

so what exactly we are supposed to do

follow the instruction in the first zip or just upload the files in second zip file and use the sqltodos.php and then run the avatar_hack_install.php

please if it's possible clearify this :)

and thanks alot

I am using vB 2.0.3 on another forum that I help, and when I installed I get this error when I try to go to Add or Modify

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare getrowbg() in /*/*/public_html/forum/admin/adminfunctions.php on line 83

Here is the code in that part of adminfunctions

Code:

// ###################### Start getrowbg #######################



function getrowbg () {



// returns the current alternating class for <TR> rows in the CP.



        global $bgcounter;



        if ($bgcounter++%2==0) {



                return "firstalt";



        } else {



                return "secondalt";



        }



}

Ok, well I got rid of the error by deleting this part of avatar_categ.php

on line 5:

Code:

function getrowbg () {



        global $bgcounter;



        if ($bgcounter++%2==0) { return "firstalt";



        } else {return "secondalt";}



}
