LoL! I like your logo. I never sleep either. I pass out... Wink

Anyway, you are basically doing the same thing I do. The only difference is, I leave the 'Domain Name:' line blank. I don't know where I picked this up. I think it was on the official phpBB board. However, it seems to work either way, so I guess one way isn't any better than the other - just different.

I just wanna say THANKS baraxas for your "Bug Fix" you posted on 10/09!! Very Happy

I struggled for 3 days trying to find the right solution so my avatar gallery would (at least) show up, then my users(co-workers) can choose what they want!! Cool

Rather than change all that code, you can change your phpbb avatar directories to

Avatar Storage Path: modules/Forums/images/avatars/gallery
Avatar Gallery Path: modules/Forums/images/avatars/gallery

And then upload your 'gallery' of avatars to

modules/Forums/images/avatars/gallery

---

module, Your_Account, index.php

Find:

Quote:

echo "<img src=\"modules/Forums/images/avatars/$userinfo[user_avatar]\"><br>\n";

Change to:

Quote:

echo "<img src=\"modules/Forums/images/avatars/gallery/$userinfo[user_avatar]\"><br>\n";

Thats it.

Extra note:

There should also be a blank.gif file in
modules/Forums/images/
modules/Forums/images/avatars
modules/Forums/images/avatars/gallery

Ummm... I skipped sleeping tonight so......

It kinda ends up the same solution, different directorys, eh?

So, the real point is it needs to be fixed in the distro.

And hey, why have two directories anyway? Why cant you just plain have it so you upload all your avatars into an avatar directory, yes?

Maybe I'll switch things around to your way and dump the gallery directory alltogether... hee hee hee

A telegram for Mr. NukeCop:

Dear Mssrs NukeCop STOP In the next distrObution could you make it his way STOP So if I change it all now it wont get overwritten? STOP signed STOP someone who needs to stop STOP

.... now I just have to find the Western Union office.... Mr. Green

Hey, I just thought of something. Does uploading your own avatar still work doing the fix your way?

Nuke Soldier Joined: Oct 09, 2003 Posts: 16

Yes, it works. Try on my site www.panoramatic.com or www.zuddas.com.

I'd like to see them integrate the two profiles into one (phpbb has a profile and nuke has one).

I find that if I change my site (in Your_Account/navbar.php) so everyone gets the phpbb profile instead of the nuke profile, then the gallery link doesnt work.

Would you mind doing a little check?

See if when you log in as a user (not admin) and click MESSAGES, then from the next page click PROFILES, see if the gallery links/avatar links work. If so, I have some posts to change!

I just signed up for an account at zuppas. Your fix works fine for the nuke profile. It does not work for the phpbb profile. Neither does mine. Oh well....

I've created the account test2 on www.zuddas.com then loaded an avatar from my pc. It works! In forum profile and in my account. Check it.
Shocked

No, I dont mean the upload an avatar. I created a zuppas account, I login and click MESSAGES, then I click PROFILE. At the bottom of the page shows your current avatar and the option button to show the gallery. Click that button. No go.

I'm sorry, my solution work, but i set it exactly only on panoramatic.com. Now I've corrected the forum path on zuddas.com too. It works! The configuration is in the first article of this topic. On zuddas.com I had:

Code:

Domain Name: http://www.yourdomain.com
Script path: /modules/Forums/
Smilies Storage Path: modules/Forums/images/smiles
Avatar Storage Path: modules/Forums/images/avatars
Avatar Gallery Path: modules/Forums/images/avatars/gallery

and now, after your signalation zuddas.com settings = panoramatic.com settings:

Code:

Domain Name: http://www.yourdomain.com
Script path: /
Smilies Storage Path: modules/Forums/images/smiles
Avatar Storage Path: modules/Forums/images/avatars
Avatar Gallery Path: modules/Forums/images/avatars

Check it!
