Mini-Avatars Hack Released

I've re-released this hack with a completely re-written database independent version Enjoy.

The mini-avatars system will enable users to have their own 16x16 image in front of their username in threads, and in the who's online portion of the website. The hack creates 1 table and alters a few files, with 2 new files created.

I'm working on the the new modifications to the admin panel, but this will get you up and running so far =)

Try going to /icon.php?userid=xxxx and see if its there

what do you mean?

Do you have phpMyAdmin or direct access to the database?

Check to make sure you actually have an entry.. maybe there's a bug but I didn't think so.

Two questions:

Can you implement a check where it insures the user does not upload an avatar larger than 16 by 16 pixels? Personally I don't want to add the width and height attributes to the image tag, incase somebody uses a larger or smaller icon. This should be possible, if you view the avatar-source code in member.php.

Second, is there any possible way to check if the gif image contains transparency? Probably not, but I'd like all my members to make the backgrounds of their icons transparent, or else the icon looks very tacky.

Well I figured my first request out pretty easily, you can forget the second since I know it's not possible.

---------------------------------------

For those wanting to check the icon size insuring it's not larger than 16x16 pixels, use this very easy to install add-on:

In member.php, find:

PHP Code:


        if( !$HTTP_POST_FILES['file1']['size'] || $HTTP_POST_FILES['file1']['size'] < 1 ) {
            eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_invalid_image")."\");");
        } 


Below it add:

PHP Code:

        // check valid image
        if ($imginfo=@getimagesize($HTTP_POST_FILES['file1']['tmp_name'])) {
          if ($imginfo[0]>16 or $imginfo[1]>16) {
            eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_invalid_image")."\");");
          }
        } 


And there we go There is no need to set width and height attributes to the image tag. You can also check for it not to be lower than a certain amount, by modifying the if statement with a lesser than (<) clause.

[mewgood]

It's funny, but I was thinking on doing something like this myself a few weeks ago, but yours looks much better than anything I could have developed, so good job to you

This mod will -not- function on certain servers. This is why I chose -not- to include this. The reason why the getimagesize() function does not work is uknown to most people, and when I tried it.. worked on 1 server, failed on the other (both had the graphic libraries installed that were required).
