Should I release this?
 

I created a hack that lets users have their own "mini-avatar", a little 16x16 *.gif file that will be displayed in front of their names under posts and in the "Who's Online" areas.

It needs a little work before I would even release it, but I'm just wondering if anyone is interested in this.

Just like ezboard, right? Interesting - just release it - there will always be people who will need it. :)

NOOO! NEVER SAY THAT NAME! It haunts us all :(

Yes, release it. It'd probably install it myself. :)

Okay, I'm going to re-work some stuff.. because honestly? It's pretty ghetto-fied right now... for instance...

I have it set so people can upload any size file right now, (only gif files but still), gonna make it so people can limit the file sizes.

Since title is unique, and a person may have a file thats name the same as another, and title is taken by substr($file_name, -4), the title is esentially the filename without the extension.

SO! A better way to do this would be to alter the table around and replace `title` with `userid` and when uploading, check if the user has uploaded a file... obviously if they haven't you'd insert a new one with the `userid` = $bbuserinfo[userid] and then if they do have one, just update the contents of the file.

This way, instead of having to perform 2 queries in icon.php, we can perform one by saying oh lets SELECT `data` FROM `usericons` WHERE `userid`=$bbuserinfo[userid]; The filename now becomes $bbuserinfo[userid]...

The way i had it before is it had to select usericon from user blah blah, then select data from the icons table where title='whatever'.

Now I don't need to alter the user table and can just output a default image file if the user doesn't have a mini-avatar set. Wee!

Whew.. sorry for the long post guys, just explaining the current status. Once those changes are made (in a few hours, max later tonight) It will be released.

The beta version of my hack is released. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=44593 is where it is :) Enjoy. Feedback welcome.
