New Posting Features - [tk] Egg Avatar

A Support Project using the vBulletin Project Tool has been created to support this mod. Please make use of it if you can. Timely support will still be given in this thread, however, use of the project tool is appreciated because:

1. I paid for it
2. It makes searching for problems already asked by other users, and possibly solved, much easier than this long thread.
3. It helps organize and manage issues for me, which will become even more useful as I release more mods.

Description:
Ever want to throw something at someone when you read a post? Now you can! Eggs, kisses, bullets, and more.

Video Demonstration Link

Special Notes:

• Due to some complicated issues involving the coding for animated gifs, largely black eggs (like the bullethole) do not display properly. All that is required, if you make or find your own eggs, is that large black areas be converted to a dark grey or dark blue. I've already done this with the newest bullethole.gif, and as you can see it's not a big issue but I wanted to make everyone aware of it.
• If you wish to uninstall please upgrade to the lastest version first, as older versions may not uninstall cleanly.

Upcoming 2.5 new features

• Automatic (optional) integration with [tk] Post Notes (post note of "Username: Threw a <thing> at you." or "Username: Gave you a <thing>" etc.
• Long promised post stats (how many times a post has been egged, etc.)

Features:

• Fully Phrased.
• Fully AJAX.
• Can be configured to work with any credits system, or not use credits (default).
• Comes configured for vbCredits (just turn on 'Enable Credits' in the admincp options).
• Integrated with vB Optimise.
• Manage your own egg images (enable/disable/delete/add).
• Optionally have eggings effect user reputation.
• Optional 'Who Egged Me' display in UserCP.
• 'Eggs' can be cleaned away.
• Entire avatars can be wiped clean.
• Usergroup support for viewing, using, cleaning own and cleaning others.
• Very configurable.
• Handles animated avatars (animation stops when egged, starts again when cleaned).
• Fully supports both GD and ImageMagick. Animated avatars do not stop in ImageMagick.
• Optional Statistics in What's Going On.

IF the cause is as you say (haven't looked into it yet, I had a tooth go bad and finally had it extracted yesterday so I've been out of it the last week or so), then it is IMHO a vBulletin blog bug. It does not happen with project tools as far as I can tell.

Never the less, when I get back to things, I'll see what I can do.

Sorry to hear about the tooth...I know how it feels.

What's weird is that if I go into my User CP, the page validates...however, if I go to who egged me, the page doesn't validate. So if it were a blog issue...it would happen on every page where the blog link is in the User CP navigation menu...but it doesn't...only on the who egged me page.

I get the following error when trying to throw an egg: Invalid action attempted
Also have this at the top of my website now: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/modules/vba_eggavatar.php on line 276

I've tried clearing the cache and setting the js prioity, didn't work.

Do you have vbAdvanced?

[hambil]

Get out the vote folks. I am not saying vote for me, just vote. MoTM is coming to a close, and it's a close race. Be part of the process

Thank you to everyone who did/will vote for this mod.

I'm not sure what's going on. If you want to PM me some login details I'll take a look though.

It looks like a style issue, but I'm happy to keep plugging away at it with you until we figure it out.

Hambil,

Great mod. Looks like your gonna be a contender for MOTM.

Question maybe some can help with. I running VB 3.7.3. The first thing I noticed is that there is a plugins folder in the archive. I do not have that folder on my site, regardless I uploaded everything and created the plugins folder and copied up eggavatar_forumhome_complete.php. I installed the product and it seemed to install fine however, now all memebers avatar show a broken link. This is the same members avatar link Prior to installing
http://www.buellforums.com/forum/ima...ine=1238208311
and After installing
http://www.buellforums.com/forum/egg...old=image.php?

Any suggestions ? FYI I do have VBA installed and a custom template. No vboptmise.
Any help is greatly appreciated, this looks to be a fun mod.:up:
