Great idea,

I got some problems if i try to upload a image
I get an ISE with this error:
------------------

I got also UBB hacks database

you need to install the module Image::Size

www.cpan.org

need to ask your server admin to set it so it can be used like "use Image::Size;"

just to be easier

this is the one i used

Hmmm,
Is there a way to let work this without installing the module Image::Size

Becouse i am on a free webserver since my server is down couple months ago.

I believe there is a way to install it yourself, on your own server..

Yeap i saw the file above but my own server is NT and it gives to much problems on UBB with hacks.
I am looking for a new webspace and a new domain name, this board i have is for testing. On hypermarts servers.

But i think it works without that module to but you just cant check the file sizes, but i cant figgur out yet how it works

For some reason I can't access my stupid UNIX server library, so I can't install the Image::Size module...

well, i heard this pms are just libraries

dunno if it can be uploaded, chmod 744, then "require (library);" on them instead "Use Image::Size;". I didnt try it, if you guys want to test.

mark said something about this
Im also concerned about the temporary file CGI.pm creates. Dunno if the script must delete it or if its deleted automatically after the script ends.

Answering Spawn about the use or not of image::size, you cant check the file width and height sizes AND cant check if the file is an image or not. The user will have the ability to upload anything he likes to your server, renamed to GIF or JPG, that is. Image::Size is used also to check to the bit if the file is an image.

Some threads:
any quick code to discover if a file is jpg or gif?
that atachment hack is too complicated...

Ahhaaaa.. good work..

Hope I can get this to work right, would LOVE this hack..

------------------

CopyCat,

I tryed your and Marks idea.
Made an Image directory in my cgi directory and put CGI.pm and Size.pm in there with #!/usr/bin/perl/Image and chmod them to 755

This give me a blank screen when i try to upload.

I tryed the another idea:
I place Size.pm and CGI.pm in my cgi directory chmod them to 755 and require the bolth files in the uploadavatar.pl.

This also give me a blank page when i try to upload a avatar.

mm

im pretty sure your server has CGI.pm installed already (because most servers that provide perl cgi have this one).

Did you tried to use
use lib '/whatever/path/to/Image';
then "Use Image::Size"?
maybe just "use lib '/whatever/path/to';"

oh and put 744 on them, i think both are only for reading.

ps: maybe size.pm requires other files in that zip too

Still same blank page

------------------

I got also UBB hacks database

just updating this (ubbdev had some problems and the backup was old)

- added toggle to use member's usernames instead member numbers
- added script deleteavatar.pl (standalone script)
- added toggle to send deleteavatar link with e-mail
- fixed "bug" with option 'do not use width height control' (width and height of image shown after uploading was broken)
- added toggle 'dont use size.pm'; you cant do many things without it though

------------------

how would i make this so only admins and moderators could upload their customs, while regular users use the normal selection

now you can

- Added toggle Only Administrators and Moderators can send Custom Avatars

just download again the zip

old versions:
http://banco.jogosonline.com.br/avatars/uploadavatar13.zip
http://banco.jogosonline.com.br/avatars/uploadavatar12.zip

see if its working..

------------------

it's a matter of time and knowledge
