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.

I think it's the same issue a number of people are having. I hope to have it figured out and a fix up later today.

Warning: getimagesize(): Read error! in [path]/admincp/eggadmin.php on line 437


This appears in the admincp with the latest version

Edit: Holy crap, all my avatars are gone!

Getting some strange display errors, that users are only saying is happening from Firefox. It's not happening in IE, so i'm wondering if this is a cross browser display issue.

Attachment 97469

The box containing the stuff to throw and all that is appearing in a seperate box below the proper table, rather than actually in the intended table. As said it's only happening in Firefox.

This is using the default template, no custom changes have been made to the addon by me.

I believe it was working fine in the last version, before this latest update.

Just installed this on my test forums, looks pretty good, will install it on my main forums over the weekend..

This doesn't seem to auto parse on my memberinfo template. Most like because it's highly customized.

Can I get the exact URL change so I can manually update it?

[hambil]

To all having issues:

Make sure you are using 2.3.1. Make sure you have upload and overwritten all the files. Make sure you have reverted any of the [tk] Egg Avatar templates you've changed before you upload the xml (with overwrite).

Make sure your image path is correct. Make sure you don't have optimization turned on unless you are using vB Optimise.

It's been a day and a half and I cannot reproduce any of the above problems on either of my two boards, so I'm going to need some help, and some login info.

Sorry should have been more specific. The avatar image is still the normal one not the one that includes the eggs etc.. The post you referred me to seems to be about the placement of the link image. I tried anyways no change.
