Need a fresh set of eyes to spot my error

[John Lester]

I've been tweaking a random users widget to include more features. However I took a break after my hard drive failed and when I started working on it again, the avatars no longer show up

I have the avatars stored in files and not in the db. The directory and sub directories are chmoded 777. I have attached a screenshot of the avatar file storage type for reference.

Here's the widget code I'm working with.

$member_count = 8;

  ob_start();
  require_once('./includes/functions_user.php');
  require_once('./includes/functions_bigthree.php');
  // Get Featured Members
  $featuredusers_get = vB::$db->query_read("
    SELECT ".TABLE_PREFIX."user.userid AS userid, ".TABLE_PREFIX."user.username AS username, ".TABLE_PREFIX."user.avatarrevision AS avatarrevision, ".TABLE_PREFIX."customavatar.dateline AS dateline
    FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."customavatar
    LEFT JOIN ".TABLE_PREFIX."user
            ON ".TABLE_PREFIX."customavatar.userid=".TABLE_PREFIX."user.userid
    WHERE ".TABLE_PREFIX."customavatar.visible = 1 AND ".TABLE_PREFIX."user.usergroupid IN (2, 6, 7)  AND ".TABLE_PREFIX."user.posts > 0
   ORDER BY RAND()
   LIMIT $member_count");
  $output_bits = '<p align="left">';
  while($featureduser = vB::$db->fetch_array($featuredusers_get))
  {
        $output_bits .= '<a href="member.php?u='.$featureduser[userid].'"><img src="/customavatars'.$featureduser[userid].'_'.$featureduser[avatarrevision].'.gif" alt="'.$featureduser[username].'"/ width="125" height="125"><br />'.$featureduser[username].'</a><br /><br />';
  }
  $output_bits .= '</p>';
  $output = $output_bits;
  ob_end_clean();

You posted the code, but what is the problem? Can we be told the problem and get a link to view it?

I see the avatars in threads just fine, if it's the forum you have linked in your signature.

[John Lester]

I apologize for not being clearer.

The widget is disabled, it would show on content.php and would display a random selection of 8 "Featured Members" as long as they have an avatar and 1 post or more.

When the widget is enabled the avatars do not show in the widget, only the username which is linked to their profile is shown. I have re-enabled the widget so you can see it in (sub par) action Just scroll down and it'll be on the left hand side.

Yes I ensured that my test group of members had/have an avatar.

Try changing this part of your code...

<img src="/customavatars'.$featureduser[userid].'_'.$featureduser[avatarrevision].'.gif" alt="'.$featureduser[username].'"/ width="125" height="125">

To this..

<img src="/customavatars/avatar'.$featureduser[userid].'_'.$featureduser[avatarrevision].'.gif" alt="'.$featureduser[username].'"/ width="125" height="125">

If your still having problems try this:

<img src="./customavatars/avatar'.$featureduser[userid].'_'.$featureduser[avatarrevision].'.gif" alt="'.$featureduser[username].'" width="125" height="125">

[John Lester]

Thank you nhawk now the avatars show up

[tbworld]

The path for custom avatars is stored already. So I would use this approach instead of hard coding the path.

<img src="'.$vbulletin->options['avatarpath'].'/avatar'.$featureduser[userid].'_'.$featureduser[avatarrevision].'.gif" alt="'.$featureduser[username].'" width="125" height="125">

You do not need to include either function file. You are not using any functions from them -- at least in the code you showed us.

[John Lester]

I'm just covering my butt including those functions, I'm not sure how exotic this will wind up being I do like your suggestion about the avatar path, would make it more versatile should I decide to release my final code

[John Lester]

Using the code in the first post (with the modified and correct avatar path ty again ) the featured members shows different members depending on you being logged in or not. Why?
