and after the

<img src='

Code:

{$bbuserinfo['user_avatar']}

part, enter your full dir leading to your forums and see if that works

Nice hack. I clicked install!

As to this issue above I had the same problem in that registered users without an avatar was showing up as a broken link. I'm running the forum as a subdirectory of the main site - www.example.com/forum

Anyway, you don't need to add the full path in etc all you need to do is find this line in the global.php:

Code:

$bbuserinfo['user_avatar']="<img src='/images/avatars/noavatar.gif' alt='Edit Your Avatar' border='0'>";

Notice the bolded / part (in the section <img src='/images)? Remove that forward slash (so you don't tell the script/hack to go to the root directory and look in the images folder of the root) so you have:

Code:

$bbuserinfo['user_avatar']="<img src='images/avatars/noavatar.gif' alt='Edit Your Avatar' border='0'>";

Problem solved

Nice work!

I installed this for 3.0.3 and it worked fine, but when I upgraded to 3.0.4 the text disappeared. I can see the avatar and the who is online bit, but not the text that's supposed to be next to the avatar (number of posts since your last visit if I remember correctly).

Any clues?

wi11ie1950 · #74 01-06-2005, 11:32 PM

When attempting to save the navbar template in 3.0.4

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/mikeydef/public_html/forums/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3055) : eval()'d code on line 118

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

I am using Quick Account Switch, is there a way I can use this with that? For some reason, when I use this Welcome Panel but one prob, using Quick Account Switch caused the drop down box with the names in it not to work. What can I do to make the quick account switch work?

Thanks for the help in advance

Nevermind, I got it figured out. I will post the code here for anyone that uses Quick Account Switch.

go to AdminCP -> Styles Manager -> Edit Templates -> navbar
Find:

Code:

<!-- breadcrumb, login, pm info -->

Below that Find:

If you have disabled the navbar on the CMPS there's any way to made it run? Because in muy website I just disabled my navbar, but I wish to use this nice hack.
I upload one capture from my web side to see if could be posible to made it run

"Bienvenido/ a usuario [desconectar] -> Welcome (name of the user that has login) [log out]"
Usuarios: -> Users
(On line) -> Users online on the web
Posts: -> Discusions or threads ( I don't know the diference

)
Fotos : Photos from VBgallery
Enlaces : URLS form VBdirectory

the 000.000 that apears are only a 000.000 texted, I mean I writte my self this stats...

any one could helpme please??

edited : Sorry I forgot to upload the image...

solved

Sen · #78 01-15-2005, 06:46 PM

I had it installed also on 3.0.3 and then when upgrading to 3.0.5 the text disappeared.
When I edited the global.php file again to add in the coding, there was an error which basically said it would not work.

Any chance we could get some modified code?

StuKeR · #79 01-15-2005, 07:00 PM

Sen try to edit template of navbar and save. Simple to recharge the new template...

lanc3lot · #80 01-15-2005, 07:42 PM

I have it on my 3.0.3 and works great. I had to do some mods to make it work with my CMPS but works nicely.
