qasic (or anyone using this hack, really) :

do you know of any good avatar "banks"? for example, the site displayed in the sample pics qasic posted at the beginning of this thread... there's hundreds of avatars there to play with any chance of "raiding" it, for use in my own collection? (or a similar location?)

eg.
A) user selected his avatar in the profile.
B) User edit his profile, drop down avatar list point to NONE. At, "Your Picture:" Field, it shows the full url of the avatar he have selected. He update the profile without changing anything (the pointer for avatar still point to NONE)
C) u will see error in the Avatar (it shows 2 url if u right click and propertise it)

is this "normal"?
not sure if u guys understand what i mean...

I betcha you did not upload blank.gif to you avatar directory. It's required.

qasic

ok I screwed up somewhere...not sure where....thinking it's the cp.cgi but anyway. It says I don't have a high enough access or not permitted to view the avatar section of the cp......I tried two diff admin accounts and still says same thing....sooooo I need someone to tell me where to go to fix oooooor a "become god" hack lol.

link dead?

1) Link not dead.
2) Most likely cp.cgi was hacked incorrectly. Re-hack from backups.

qasic

ok i seem to have the same prob as above
When i try to access the AVATAR settings through the CP i get "You Do Not HAve Permission" yet i do have access on everthing else on the CP..
I've checked and re-check the CP.CGI hack and it's done correctly ????

Having trouble with installation, I am running Ultimate Bulletin Board 6.0, Beta 7.9


in the Avatar hacck installation, it says to:

***************************
cp_common.pl (template)
***************************

FIND:

document.writeln("<option value=$vars_config{CGIURL}/cp.cgi?ubb=vars_config&r=$ran> - Configuration Settings</option>");

ABOVE PUT:

document.writeln("<option value=$vars_config{CGIURL}/cp.cgi?ubb=vars_avatar&r=$ran> - Avatar Settings</option>");

FIND (this occurs TWICE; do this hack TWICE):

document.writeln("<option value=$vars_config{CGIURL}/cp.cgi?ubb=prune&r=$ran> - Prune Posts</option>");

ABOVE PUT:

document.writeln("<option value=$vars_config{CGIURL}/cp.cgi?ubb=manage_avatar&r=$ran> - Manage Avatars</option>");


However, document.writeln is NOT found in this file? (found in /ubb/Templates/ ? what am I doing wrong. I have found every other peice upto this point

Well, maybe you already try this, but it was an error i found as i was installing the hack. I also had an error with avatar ditectory, because i didn´t place the "S" at the endo of acatar"s" directory.

Maybe there´s your problem.

no, im having trouble finding the correct file to edit, As I cannot find in the requested file, the information said to addchangeremove

I spent some time with this, and I printed out the offending file, And this is what I found that seems to be the "best match"

tempMenu.addItem(new NavBarMenuItem("Configuration Settings", "$vars_config{CGIURL}/cp.cgi?ubb=vars_config&r=$ran"));

To me this appears to be a java menu entry, insted of the other form that avatar_hack_install_00007.txt file is trying to get me to do.

OK I did a bit of comparing syntax's and i came up with my own hack, and it works. Yay... Dont clap too hard, I was sleepy when I did this and I think the lord had some help to it..

But for:

***************************
cp_common.pl (template)
***************************

FIND:

document.writeln("<option value=$vars_config{CGIURL}/cp.cgi?ubb=vars_config&r=$ran> - Configuratio
n Settings</option>");




You would actualy look for:

tempMenu.addItem(new NavBarMenuItem("Configuration Settings", "$vars_config{CGIURL}/cp.cgi?ubb=vars_config&r=$ran"));



ABOVE PUT:

document.writeln("<option value=$vars_config{CGIURL}/cp.cgi?ubb=vars_avatar&r=$ran> - Avatar Setti
ngs</option>");



and ABOVE THIS PUT

tempMenu.addItem(new NavBarMenuItem("Avatar Settings", "$vars_config{CGIURL}/cp.cgi?ubb=vars_avatar&r=$ran"));


For
FIND (this occurs TWICE; do this hack TWICE):

document.writeln("<option value=$vars_config{CGIURL}/cp.cgi?ubb=prune&r=$ran> - Prune Posts</optio
n>");


You would actualy find

tempMenu.addItem(new NavBarMenuItem("Prune Posts", "$vars_config{CGIURL}/cp.cgi?ubb=prune&r=$ran"));


And ABOVE PUT:

OLD
document.writeln("<option value=$vars_config{CGIURL}/cp.cgi?ubb=manage_avatar&r=$ran> - Manage Ava
tars</option>");

NEW

tempMenu.addItem(new NavBarMenuItem("Manage Avatars", "$vars_config{CGIURL}/cp.cgi?ubb=manage_avatar&r=$ran"));


I hope this helps somone down the road

Yobe, either you're using an illegal version of UBB or you're license expired because ALL gold versions of UBB 6 don't use DHTML for the Menu.

Clueless, if hacking is truly correct, I'll need to look @ your board personally. E-mail me: 1) URL to your board, 2) Admin l/p to your board, 3) FTP info for you board, and 4) FTP l/p
