Last Poster Avatar
 

Info

This mod ads last posters' avatars next to their names on Forumdisplay pages. I've just finished a section of one of my bigger mods to come, and thought that some of you may just need this little enhancement on their forums. If so, feel free to download and test it.

Features

Not too many features for now, it's a pretty straight forward mod. I'm always open to your suggestions though.

- Display last poster avatars in threadbits on forumdisplay
- Display last poster avatars in forumbits on forumhome and forumdisplay
- Admin settings to enable display of last poster avatars in certain areas or disable globally
- Set an avatar size to best match the layout
- Choose an alternative avatar display on forumbits
- Zero database queries to keep things running smoothly

hi, a preview please? thx

Bad ass! Love it so far!

Sorry for missing the screenshot last night, I've just uploaded it.
Glad to see someone likes it :)
Don't forget to mak it as installed, and make me happy, too.

Caused error, could not open forum, uninstalled.

On 4.1.7, maybe that is why.

I haven't got a test version 4.1.7 installed but could you post the error message here, maybe I could help resolve it.

I would but I'm scared to install it again. Error went away when I uninstalled and I don't want to test again.

did not work on 4.1.8 - uninstalled

Tagged modification, hopefully it works before I install it.

Didn't work with 4.1.8 running vbseo.

^ My error was similar

Thanks for trying to be helpful, I'll check out and get back to you with an update as soon as I have one.

Could you test the attached product installer and see if the error is gone? I will then update the thread with the new version if all goes well.

no...dont work ...4.1.8...same error with 1.0.1

Do you mind getting in touch via PM and share your install details with me so that I could take a quick look into it? I installed a test vB 4.1.8, and it worked well with the original mod version. I then installed vBSEO and it did not break anything. So I assume you're facing some sort of a mod incompatibility issue there.

I was not running VBSEO and had the error so likely a mod incompatibility.

Didnt work on 4.18 for me either.Just get white screens

I disabled vbseo then uploaded the new file and I still get this error.

Regards.

Guys, keep in mind this is product is in beta stage.

In that case it's not vBSEO the conflicting part here. I installed it on my end as well, and it did not affect my mod. Could you at least message me the list of plugins that you have installed? Ideally, I'd prefer to take a look personally, that would be the quickest way to a fix.

On a side note, to everyone, this is a beta stage mod, cooperation is more than welcome, rather than ignorance.

I have 4.18 worked fine when I installed it... No isssues... And I use vBSEO 360

Thanks for confirming that to me. I wish the others we a bit more responsive in trying to help me determine the cause of the error and provide a fix for them rather than just stop by to say "doesn't work" and then leave.

The error message points to a missing file on the server. Could you manually check for the presence of functions_user.php inside /includes directory? Can you see it there? Perhaps with a different file extension like .php5 etc? Just a guessing.

I explained my prob,get white screens.Nice mod btw :)

Yes I already checked whether it was there after seeing the error, I will pm you the modifications I use.

Thanks. Could you as well manually check for the presence of functions_user.php inside /includes directory on your site? Can you see it there? What php extension do the files have, is it .php, is it .php4 or .php5?

Sounds good, I'll then try to reproduce a copy of your site's structure on my end and see what I get in return. Also, are you running it on a Linux or Win server?

Sent you the info needed via pm, just one thing to add, my acp location has been renamed for security, could this be causing the problem?.

Here's my error, running 4.1.7 with no vBSEO:
The problem is the "." after the "forums" in the required path. It's like your script is assuming only a relative path but something in vB is asserting and absolute path first.

Yes, I've just noticed that a bit earlier, and have updated the xml installer so you can download a new copy from the original post in this thread and try again.

installed on vb4.1.8, work very nice, good jod!

Yes working now with 4.1.8, thanks for the update and help.

Working now - marked as Installed :)

Yes its there and i use .php

Yes working on my forum, thanks.

just installed 1.0.1 ver,works great now thank you

Warning: require_once([path]./includes/functions_user.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/forumdisplay.php(1065) : eval()'d code on line 49

Looks like everyone's happy now, good to see that!

whitedd, please download the fresh copy of the installer which has addressed the issue that you're facing. All is going to be just fine.

...thnx...work perfect ;) ....

Great. Marking it as installed is a good way to say thank you and show your support.

Today I added some extra functionality to this mod and published a new version along with new screenshots. Hope you like it.

Suggestions are welcome, as usual.
