missing 'default avatar' for guests/anonymous

Lieutenant Joined: Mar 11, 2003 Posts: 180

in viewtopic.php, around line ~897:

Code:

if ( empty($poster_avatar) && $poster_id != ANONYMOUS)
{
$poster_avatar = '<img src="'. $images['default_avatar'] .'" alt="" border="0" />';
}
if ( $poster_id == ANONYMOUS )
{
$poster_avatar = '<img src="'. $images['guest_avatar'] .'" alt="" border="0" />';
}

apparently $images['guest_avatar'] << is not defined, and i have no idea where that array is filled, so i hacked it with this code as a replacement:

Code:

if ( empty($poster_avatar) && $poster_id != ANONYMOUS)
{
$poster_avatar = '<img src="'. $images['default_avatar'] .'" alt="" border="0" />';
}
if ( $poster_id == ANONYMOUS )
{
//$poster_avatar = '<img src="'. $images['guest_avatar'] .'" alt="" border="0" />'; //changed by intel352
$poster_avatar = '<img src="modules/Forums/images/avatars/blank.gif" alt="" border="0" />';
}

i hacked it so that Guests in my forums don't keep showing the broken images (it would try to display just site url, since there is no value for that variable)

if someone more familiar with Forums 2.0.5/2.0.6 would please inform me as to where that array is defined, i would be very appreciative

Info provided by Q

Quote:

modules\Forums\templates\[Template Name]\[Template Name].cfg

and add the following to the bottom (before ?>):

$images['default_avatar'] = "modules/Forums/$current_template_images/no_avatar.gif";

you can change [no_avatar.gif] to what ever you want to use for guests

Try that. Not sure if thats what your looking for. Also, theres a Default/No Avatar hack on phpbbhacks.com but I dont remember the specifics, but it will also do the trick.

okay, thanks, i appreciate it Wink

for every1 else's info, i defined the following:

Code:

$images['default_avatar'] = "modules/Forums/$current_template_images/blank.gif";
$images['guest_avatar'] = "modules/Forums/$current_template_images/blank.gif";

i'm having this problem even after using the hacks above.
the red X shows a path of: modules/Forums/images/avatars/gallery/

where do i specify to point it to no_avatar.gif or, better yet, if the user hasn't specified an avatar, leave the space blank beneath their name?

Thanks guys, I was having this problem with my clean install of Phpnuke 6.9 and this fixed it.

point it to blank.gif, as i mentioned in my previous post

and, you edit the modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/subSilver.cfg file, as was already mentioned in this thread as well

I got a little different twist on this problem. I'm testing a clean install of PHP-Nuke 6.9 on my beta site and didn't have a problem until I installed NSN Your Account 650. When I looked at my production site, which is running Nuke 6.5, I found out I had the same problem there too, but just didn't notice it until now. Everyone that signed up since I installed YAT has a red-x for an avatar, unless they picked a custom avatar since they reg'ed.

I posted the problem on Bob's board, so we'll see if he can offer any insights.

I've been picking through code for two days now, and everything is getting a little fuzzy... Shocked

The new YAT that will be released after NSN-Nuke is released will go far beyond FB's config.php setting and will not use it at all.

Hrm...

You what people, screw everything, this is what I did.
I went to sql admin section, the default avatar is not in the database so I added blank.gif as default avatar in nuke_users database and guess what???
IT WORKS!!

I finally figured out the problem with YAT 650 and came up with a fix. Here's the thread in case anyone is interested:

You never know who might be cruisin' around looking for an answer... Wink

Oh wow, this is funny, we both ended up with same answer but posted in our own ways Very Happy

k well i still can't get this to work, can you guys direct me to the correct version of the Your Account Tweak please?

also, Mesum, are you saying that you inserted blank.gif into your nuke_users table for each user that you have? i must be missing that part cuz i what would happen when new users sign up?

thanks for your help.

Notice the difference in the user_avatar?
Now since people were not picking an avatar and as you can see, you should not be leaving this field blank, that's why person's avatar was pointing to modules/Forums/ThemeName/images/avatar or whatever you have configed in your Forums config area.
Now, since I add the image, every time when someone signs up for the website and does not pick an avarat, the Nuke will give that user a defualt avatar...... so no more pointing to some URL anymore Very Happy
