I had the first version of this installed and it seemed to work but when I upgraded everything went kablooey.

The avatars stopped showing up, although I did have a lot more options in the Admin CP.

I tried removing the hack entirely and reinstalling but that seriously destroyed the layout of my forumhome template and I got this error message.

Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/dbtech/spotlight/core/class_fetchuser.php on line 55

Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/dbtech/spotlight/core/class_fetchuser.php on line 56

Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/dbtech/spotlight/core/class_fetchuser.php on line 58

Looks like if I check Location, Occupation and Reputation under the "Alternate Additions" the errors go away. They still don't show up in the user spotlight when checked though. I went to uncheck them and see if I could reproduce the error and they won't stay unchecked.

The only one that will go back and forth between checked and unchecked is Signature. It doesn't show the signature when you check it though and I get this error (in addition to the screen layout going bonkers).

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in [path]/includes/functions.php(1455) : eval()'d code on line 5

Can you try the 1.5.2 version and let me know if you still have the same problems?
I moved the code around dealing with the errors you are getting and they shouldn't show up anymore.

Hi there. I love this mod and have installed it. I don't have the updated version since the other one worked fine for me on 3.8.3.

I was wondering if you could consider adding in Minimum days since last post? I have some users that log in regularly but have not posted in a while. It would be nice to have this additional filter option if possible. Thanks for reading.

I added it for 1.6.0, just waiting for a couple troubleshooting fixes before I release it.

Okay, so I uninstalled the old one, reinstalled with product version 1.5.2 and overwrote all of the FTP files with the new ones.

Well, the layout problems seem to be gone when this is active and it looks like the boxes check and uncheck like they should for Alternate Additions.

Bugs:

Avatars still don't show up no matter what I select in the drop down box.
None of the Alternate Additions appear in the User Spotlight when they are checked.
Custom Username CSS doesn't appear to work.
When the signature box is checked I still get the following error.

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in [path]/includes/functions.php(1455) : eval()'d code on line 5

EDIT: Just wanted to note that I'm on vBulletin 3.8.4

Hey Warlord, for the avatar issue, did you change the avatar dimensions to whatever you allow on your forum? I think that the default on the mod was 80 x 80 but I had to change mine to 130 x 130 to get mine to display since that is what I allow on my forums. Just a thought. Trying to help out.

[Warlord]

Good lookin' out Enigma, but unfortunately that didn't seem to help.

Is the avatar not showing at all or is it a broken link?
Maybe you modified the template with a previous version and didn't revert? That's a possible reason why none of the additional fields are showing up at all.

The signature thing is weird. I installed 3.8.4 and the mod on my dev and I don't get that error with the signature enabled. Maybe it's something in the users sig that is messing it up? Can you pm me the text that's in the sig so I can try it out locally?
