yea i did alot of editing to be able to use the picture field as well as my avatar field and 4 custom fields!

Oops, my bad about the Sig thing. I'll have to update the docs for that. Thanks!

q

Well I installed it on a UNIX server.

It seems to work, but whenever I goto ANY profile area (editing profile or registering) I get errors.

The images wont load when I select them. I made sure I chmoded them, and even re-did the hack.

whats up??
http://ffelite.rpghosts.com/cgi/ultimatebb.cgi
NAME-- test dude
PASS-- test

Theres a test name, thanks for your help.

Hmm .. your security permissions are causing the trouble!

Hit this URL: http://ffelite.rpghosts.com/ubb/avatars/Dragonball_Z_Chibi_Goku.gif

It says that it's forbidden (error 403). Check your Apache config and see if you can enable people to get files from that directory.

Thanks.

ohhh thanks man!

but would you have any idea how to fix that sorta thing?? (I dont own this server cause im just the ubb guy) Can I fix this through FTP??

Thanks for the personal responce and sorry for askin questions ^__^ thanks again!

EDIT--nevermind, I figured it out! Thanks!'

BTW, maybe you could make it so the avatar profile field is fixed. So it doesnt move when you load a avatar.

The profile field doesn't move for me!

Moving profile ... iirc, I think that's to accomadate Avatars of different sizes.

What did you do to fix it? Since you're using Apache on UNIX, I would really know if my guessed CHMOD settings for the avatar diretory were correct.

TIA!

Ok i figured it out. You were wrong (no offence)

CHMOD the avatar and custom directories to 755. Not 766.

It worked for me at least.

okay small problem...

I installed the hack, works good except for the control panel, which gives me an ISE 500 now. Removed the code in cp.cgi and works fine. Any suggestions?

EXCELLENT!

The reason it gives a 500 ISE is because cpanel functions don't work yet ... they require the cpanel module which will be distributed soon because Infopop has approved!

q

Infopop has approved distribution of templates.

Great hack qasic Works very well. Hope u could release the cp_vars_avatar.pl soon.

Great news folks!

With Navaho's announcement on the Chit Chat forum, I can now distribute my Control Panel templates!

Now I present v0.0002 of the Avatar Hack. What's new?

* Control Panel Management of Avatars - Upload/Rename/Delete features incorporated
* Updated documentation
* Fixed the bug in documentation mentioned by Seifer (thx a lot man)

NOTE: Users who are upgrading from v0.0001 should read the install text to see which new files to upload and what new hacks to put in (extremely few)

Now what are you doing? You should be installing it and giving me bug reports!!!!!
