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.

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.

You mean they stop being animated when egged? They should go back to being animated when cleaned.

This is on the list of things I will fix eventually, but, I may leave the current way as an option when I do.

Either way, not really a bug.

[Sunka]

Yes, they are back animated when they are cleaned...but I like that when they are egged, they stop animation...it is OK

Do you think to do something same for signatures (egged signtures )

[TandyServices]

Nice like it.. The only thing I see that I really don't like and maybe you could help me figure it out is I have it cost 25 to throw. and wanted 100 to clean all. maybe 25 to clean one.. but mine says 25 credits to egg, 100 credits to clean, 25 to clean all.??

You are correct - thank you. I fixed it. I didn't bother with a point release since I had just released this version and it's a minor fix. If you already have 1.2.2 installed then don't reinstall, just unzip the zip file and upload the files again.

[TandyServices]

Cool fixed.. Thanks alot and my members love it.. Great work.. Keep it up..

I'm getting this error from time to time :

Invalid SQL:
SELECT count(eggtype) as totaleggs FROM eggavatar WHERE userid = AND cleaned = 0 AND UNIX_TIMESTAMP( ) <= (dateline + 3600);

MySQL Error : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'AND cleaned = 0 AND UNIX_TIMESTAMP( ) <= (dateline + 3600)' at line 1

Interesting. Can you watch for a pattern - maybe we can narrow down when it is happening.

All I do is clisk the green glob on my own avatar and it gives

Same thing happened to me on upgrade so I had to uninstall and then reinstall to upgrade which wiped all the previous eggings.

[hambil]

Hmmm. I'm going to put in a generic error message for no user id, but I'll also see if I can figure out what might be causing the specific issue. I'll keep you posted. It works fine for all other actions (egging someone else, cleaning someone else, etc?)
