Due to high demand. I have decided to release the pulldown avatar hack.

NOTE! Since I didn't know how to make the avatars be pulled from a directory and automatically added to the drop down list, that feature wasn't added and avatar editing is done manually. If you know how to add the feature, do tell

Instructions that were written very quickly can be found at http://www.funxbox.com/avatar-directions.txt

UPDATE If you use the COPPA act for child's privacy. You might want to edit public_register_page_kid.pl the same way you edited the other public_register_page.pl file.

report errors and bugs in the instructions to me if you find any.

Thanks! I'll try it later.

Yippie, I'm glad you released this hack and I hope someone can get it so it auto. adds it like he said he wanted .

just add a foreach loop and then do if $avatar.gif is in the directory, add it to the list.

It works great for me Modder

how can i get it so they are added automaticly?
i dont want to go in and update them all the time

it didnt work
the avarats dont show up

Thanks modder!!

But Mastermind, or anyone, could you fix the foreach thing?? (I dont know the proper coding)

Chaos, what happened to FFser? (inside question)

you mean the forums??
if you do, the forums got hacked, so i am installing Version 6, so yeah, i dont know why hacked the forums, but it was totally messed up..
and how did you know about ffseries??

I dont have time. Look at my old Avatar 3 update coding and work with that idea.

where do i put the foreach loop

i know where to put the $avatar.gif, its where the url to the image is.. but im totally lost with the foreach loop part

If it helps. I found the following code in the old avatar v3. I don't know what to do with it, but maybe some of j00 will know how to implement this into ubb6.

this is just a test, k?

At the bottom of ubb_profile.cgi, i put this..



and in ubb_edit_profile.pl i changed the picture field to this - however, when you go to edit your profile, the listbox is blank, but should be filled with avatars. Can someone plz help me perfect this?

If you don't know understand Perl code don't try to just "dump" that code in; it won't work. It's intended to be a guideline for code hackers to work with.

That being said, I know this is being worked on

q

well, can some one hurry up and make this hack already???

^__^

at least the code in the cgi isnt causing the cgi not to fuction, so i can't be far off

maybe someone could convert my code to strict cgi?

i really want this hack released... so it can be used efectivly:

1: Custom size (Trough the CP)
2: Auto Listing
3: Drop Down in the Edit Profile And New Registers
4: Uploads Through the CP
5: Renaming Through the CP

Can you change the code so that when you actualy go into Edit my Profile the avator scroll down box is positioned at the avatar you are curently using and not the top. Becasue if someone who wants to change.... say their password edits their profile and then saves their new profile the avatar gets reset to 'none'!

Yes i would like that fixed as well.
