Custom Avatars As Files Hack for VB 2.2.1
BASED ON THE KIER'S HACK Description: This hack lets you store custom avatars in a separate folder rather than in the VBulletin database, saving space & querys in your MySQL database Here are some of the features:
Intructions: Upload install_fileavatar.php to your ADMIN directory and open it in your browser, then follow the screen instructions. |
EXCELLENT HACK !!! :D :D :D
WORKS GREAT! THANKS MAN :cool: |
There seems to have been a slight problem with the database, etc etc
I backed it up first and then started from scratch, still got the same error. I admit I don't know anything about php, but I'm curious about the coding in the instructions. For example, you say to find: PHP Code:
PHP Code:
As I say, I don't know PHP, but every instance I've seen of else is enclosed as } else {, but not in your script. Could this cause the error? thanks :) |
Ah, received my tech error email, it shows:
Database error in vBulletin Control Panel: Invalid SQL: ALTER TABLE user ADD avatarrevision INT (6) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' not null AFTER avatarid mysql error: Duplicate column name 'avatarrevision' mysql error number: 1060 :confused: |
Grumpy:
if - else statements are not necessary enclosed by '}{' I recommend you start from the original VB version ( unhacked ), and follow the instructions carefully. |
The second error you get is because you have the hack already installed, i will add code handle this in the next release.
If someone else is getting that error please tell. Thanks, Cocomiel |
Not sure if this will help, but the error I posted from the tech email was from the first attempt.
thanks for your help :) |
Ok, that explains everything.
The error appears because you already have an avatarrevision field in your database, that is because you already instaled another hack that added that field. if you have phpMyAdmin instaled, select to your database and in the USER table delete the 'avatarrevision' field then go to the SETTINGS table and delete the last two fields But, as previously was mentioned I suggest you to begin installing the hack with a clean VB. |
Hi,
Great work on this hack cocomiel. I have not get into this or installed yet, but I was wandering if this hack could be made compatible or is already compatible with the avatar categories hack posted. I dunno if its got anything to do with the code involved but I would like to know if both hacks could be installed to work together. Thank you. |
Xtrim, I dont know anything about that hack, but i will try to make it compatible in the next release
