hmm...seems like some (if not, most) people that's runny vb 2.2.5 had luck with it, I, for the other hand, didn't

I don't know what's wrong, I put in everything, it doesn't categories the avatars, nor show the drop down box

any help can be help full, thanks

Suspiria · #**228** 05-17-2002, 09:35 AM

I have the same problem as these other folks do with 2.2.5 - not having the drop down menu appear in the user CP. Does anyone know how to fix this?

ZiRu$ · #**229** 05-18-2002, 12:56 PM

I guess I'll wait till the bugs are cleared up

Velocd · #**230** 05-18-2002, 09:35 PM

I am having this problem also

For some reason, and I have created all the neccesary templates and done everything correctly, the drop down list is not appearing! Somebody please help! Firefly or Logican perhaps? I am running version 2.2.4
If you have it working and you're running 2.2.4 or 2.2.5, PM me please!

Velocd · #**231** 05-19-2002, 07:44 PM

^ bump

somebody please help this is an awesome hack and vbulletin wouldn't be the same without it ^_^

scsa20 · #**232** 05-19-2002, 07:56 PM

I don't know what's wrong with it eather, it's not showing up for me either

Matt · #**233** 05-20-2002, 03:54 PM

This is really odd, it works fine for me, and thats on 2.2.5. I just followed the instuctions as stated.

I have to go offline now but I will rewrite the file later and see if that helps, if not then people can send me links to their forums and I will see if I can spot the problem

Sadie Frost · #**234** 05-20-2002, 06:49 PM

It works fine for me on 2.2.4 - that is odd

I'll try to help if I can - I know of 2 people having problems installling this though

Velocd · #**235** 05-21-2002, 12:52 AM

thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated. I can be contacted on AIM at invincible box

bad_madman · #**236** 05-21-2002, 10:02 PM

I have changed the old version a little. These new version works definitely with vB Version 2.2.5!
I also have enclosed a help file (firststeps.txt) which can help with first problems. Reading through the file at the best at problems after the installation once. Also notice every step in the installation instructions!

Madman

The file was removed.
The latest version is in the first post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...159#post152159).

Sadie Frost · #**237** 05-22-2002, 10:47 PM

Okay, I haven't looked at the new file just posted, but in case that doesn't work, I've just finished installing this on a friend's 2.2.5 board with no problems. Here's what I did in case it helps anyone.

I followed the directions bad madman gave, in a nutshell:

1) added each of the templates and made the changes as instructed to modifyavatar template

2) uploaded sqltodos and avatar_categ; ran http://www.yoursite.com/path/to/admin/sqltodos.php

3) Made change to index.php - this was different than in the directions I had (maybe I had an old copy):

Find:

Code:

makenavoption("Add","avatar.php?action=add","|");
makenavoption("Modify","avatar.php?action=modify","|");
makenavoption("Upload","avatar.php?action=upload");
makenavselect("Avatars");

and replace with:

Code:

makenavoption("Add","avatar_categ.php?s=&action=add","|");
makenavoption("Modify","avatar_categ.php?s=&action=modify","|");
makenavoption("Options","options.php?s=&action=options&settinggroupid=26#settinggroup26");
makenavselect("Avatars / Categories");

4) made changes to member.php - here I added the code after it says

Quote:

>>> Replace ist with (if you don't use CSS-Navigation - see further below):

That is all I did - I skipped all the other CSS stuff. Like I said, I might have an old copy of the directions, but what I did worked, so I figured it might help someone

Velocd · #**238** 05-24-2002, 04:46 AM

LOL! Bwahahahah, I just figured out why it never showed up before, and it is the stupidest mistake in the world. Funny thing is, everyone who can't get this hack to work 99% chance if you installed correctly its because of this problem (thanks to bad_madman).

In Admin -> Options -> Avatars

Make sure the following are marked yes:

- "Show up avatar categories"
- "Show up not categorized avatars"

Now your drop down list should show, for me it was default for "show up avatar categories" was off, and I never bothered to check that value. d'oh

Its all good now though, great hack and thanks

lol, I just noticed that after reading that post, my "Show up not categorized avatars" was set to yes as default but that other one "Show up avatar categories" was set to no, thanks for pointing that out to everyone
