Error for upgrade.

Ok so im guessing this is how you use the support for. I appologize for posting in the other thread.

This is my problem:

Warning: getimagesize() [function.getimagesize]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /arcade/functions/functions.php on line 908

Someone told me to edit my server config...which i dont know where it is or what to edit.



My temp fix:

functions.php on line 908 i added "//" for getinagesize() and it fixes the error but users avatars arnt displayed in arcade.

wtf??? I have to change server settings just for this???? ohhh come on... there has to be another fix for this.

I mean what are you supposed to do if your host doesn't change anything?

also some concerns:

By default, URL File Access is disabled because poorly coded or out of date web scripts can be hijacked using remote http:// URL's in include() or require() commands. If, for example, your script was set to include a page name based on the a URL passed to your script such as:

script.php?page=http://bad-hacker-site.com/page.php

if your script.php was set to include($page) this malicious URL could have your script (due to insecure coding) grab the page.php script from a bad site and run it on your site! That script can delete files, send out spam emails, deface your site, and much more... This is why URL file access is disabled by default.

so if this new version is to stop some security issue.... why does it need to enable a feature that could possibly turn into its own security risk????

I had this prob too guys to solve this prob. you have to edit one file.
edit File: -
/arcade/funtions/functions.php

Find

$check = getimagesize($member_avatar);
			$avatarwidth  = $check[0];
			$avatarheight = $check[1];

And Delete these codes

Find

<img src='{$member_avatar}' border='0' alt='' width='{$avatarwidth}' height='{$avatarheight}' />

and Change {$avatarheight} with the Height of avater you want same with Width.

Eg.

<img src='{$member_avatar}' border='0' alt='' width='120' height='120' />

I Hope i didn't made mistake And enjoy.

Thanks for your post Ranj! and I completely agree with everything you said Ev!l Ern!e. I hope MrZeroPage reads and agrees also and adds an option to disable this for the people who can't get their host to change things or are unwilling to enable the function for security purposes themselves.
