*****************************************************************
Hi~
this is a Snitz newbie's practice work, not really a MOD ...
i use Snitz 3.3.0.3 with Avatar MOD installed. i like this great MOD very much, and i'd like to every user can have her/his OWN Avatar !
there are many other mods can do this, let user upload his own Avatar.... but so disappointed, i never get the upload function work ~ it always stumbled me from FSO,upload component..and something...
so i just try this alternative way: give users the authority to assign his own avatar.
the Avatar MOD can reserve some avatars for special member when administrator add/edit avatar. so i just copy/paste/extract/piece together/and a little modificaton....from currently Avatar files (advanced_avatarlegend.asp,inc_avatar.asp,admin_add_avatar.asp...) to do this "My Avatars List".
get this file here my_avatar.asp(txt file)
(sorry i hav'nt a demo site yet....)
features:
. member can assign his favorite avatars, when a avatar assigned, it removed from the public avatars list.
. admin setup the max number avatars of one member can assign to his own list.
. easy to select/change the currently avatar (used when post on topic pages) from member's avatars list
. when got the max limit, if user want to assign more, he must release/remove some his avatar from list first.
test:
only on my computer .... (Snitz 3.3.0.3, Richard's Avatar MOD 2.0, Access..)
usage:(make sure u have Avatar Mod installed..)
just add a link somewhere, no snitz file modify necessary... 
(ex. i just put it into My Personalization Area, and the member's profile below the avatar_legend link...)
but if u want to..... u can change a little sql statement in inc_avatar.asp, so when member edit his profile, he JUST can select avatar from His Avatars List.
modify example:(optional)
look in inc_avatar.asp
strSql = strSql & " WHERE " & strTablePrefix & "AVATAR.A_MEMBER_ID = 0 "
if Request.Querystring("mode") <> "Register" then
strSql = strSql & " OR " & strTablePrefix & "AVATAR.A_MEMBER_ID = " & rs("MEMBER_ID")
end if
and replace/switch to
if Request.Querystring("mode") <> "Register" then
strSql = strSql & " WHERE " & strTablePrefix & "AVATAR.A_MEMBER_ID = " & rs("MEMBER_ID")
else
strSql = strSql & " WHERE " & strTablePrefix & "AVATAR.A_MEMBER_ID = 0 "
end if
add a link to inc_avatar.asp
<font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strFooterFontSize %>">
<a href="JavaScript:openWindowAvatar('advanced_avatarlegend.asp')">Avatar Legend</a> <br>
<% if Request.Querystring("mode") <> "Register" then %>
<a href="my_avatar.asp">My Avatar List</a> </font><br>
<% end if %>
further practice work: (just thinking, no plan & no capability to do it now...)
. integrated with more Avatar Admin function....
. my avatars list Show, Rank or Share fucntion...
. when user post, he can select different avatar from his list to show beside topic or reply.
(i try to do this, it's simple to change the Avatar_URL link form Member table to Avatar table field A_ID. but if u want to show a member different avatars icon at same time, it seem need some database modify... and i really scared to do this ...... )
. hope someone can make a simple upload mod to integrate this, i think all i need just upload avatar, no necessary to file attachment or photo gallery....
i really hav'nt much program knowledge to implement snitz mod, even i don't know how to debug/coding/clean... a program. i just learn from snitz. so if someone also interested about this, pleast just test and improve it ! thx.

there is already a "working" mod for uploading personal avatars and keeping them within size restrictions yet not disproportionating them.
I have been using this at my forum for well over a year and I think the code is available at the Snitz Exchange - http://www.ls3k.com/snitz/mods.asp?action=details&ID=30
The biggest thing that usually fails in this mod is the fact that you need to have WRITE permissions on the upload root directory and make it inheritable for members directories.

thanks Dayve for the information...
i think i've tried this mod before. most of these upload stuff need Huw's FileAttachment or Upload MOD preinstalled. and it should be more difficult for me to setup Huw's MOD on my standard snitz correctly.
and just like you said, the biggest problem, i have trouble to test upload function on my PWS or Win2K(with FAT32..) web server at home. and the WRITE Permission... seem not so easy to get it, if your host reject your ask by security reason or something....
anyway, i will try to test it or the other upload solutions again... thanks.

do a small modification to get a new admin_my_avatar.asp file for Administrator...
almost the same with my_avatar.asp, but for Admin....
.set the max value limit of one member can assign
.set the avatars list display page size
.assign/select/remove avatar for someone member
and this time i try to do some dbs work...
(just add new config value to CONFIG_NEW table.. i see many MODs do this, so i think... it should be a "safe" doing, right ? )
u can get the new package here my_avatars_list.zip
~~ ¡¹ ¡¸ ¡¸¡¹ ¡¸ ¡¹ ~~
Update link zip file... add a new my_avatar_show.asp to show all member's avatars assigned list...
just a little modification from members.asp page ...

well~~ i think nobody interested in this stuff.... 
but.. anyway, i do a little more "practice work" again.
now when users add/edit a post, he can select which Avatar he want to use from his list.
see some demo screenshot: (sorry, still not a demo site..)
user choose Avatar from his own avatars list when posting, he also can choose None for no avatar...(user can define the Avatar name in his list)
so a user can own/show multiple (& no duplicate..) Avatars now... (Admin define the max value)
when avatar remove from user's list, it just return to the default Avatar.
and this "My Avatars List - topic addon" need add new table field and a little modified the topic.asp, post.asp, and post_info.asp page.
dbs_my_avatar_topicaddon.asp
topic_edit.asp
post_edit.asp
post_info_edit.asp
(above link file base on clean Snitz 3.3.05 with Richar's Avatar Mod 2.0)
and if someone feel interested, u also can get the whole package my_avatars_list.zip in above post link (Updated!)..
also keep in mind, it's a newbie's practice work. still need someone help to improve it !!
~~ ¡¹ ¡¸ ¡¸¡¹ ¡¸ ¡¹ ~~
(p.s. i did'nt consider the Archived topics, but i think it should be ok. when post archived, it just return to default Avatar in member table.)

thanks crash for your compliments!!
and one line modification in my_avatar_topicaddon-topic.asp.txt again.
if (Trim(rsReplies("M_AVATAR_URL")) <> "" and lcase(rsReplies("M_AVATAR_URL")) <> "noavatar.gif" and (IsNull(rsReplies("M_AVATAR_URL")) = false)) or (Reply_Avatar_Url <> "noavatar.gif") then %>
i'm messed up by this line, after trying and, or, .... but it seem still got problem sometimes..
(this line just for did'nt appear a blank 64x64 image when user choose None avatar..)
so i decide to change it to this..
if Reply_Avatar_Url <> "noavatar.gif" then
if Trim(rsReplies("M_AVATAR_URL")) <> "" and lcase(rsReplies("M_AVATAR_URL")) <> "noavatar.gif" and (IsNull(rsReplies("M_AVATAR_URL")) = false) then %>
:

My Avatars List - Avatar Link addon (for test only..)
i made another practice to this stuff again -- Avatar Link addon
Feature:
. Admin turn ON/OFF, and select default Avatar Link function.
. link by avatar, so user can define different link url to his avatars.
ScreenShot:
Update Files:
. inc_avatarlink_list.asp (new)
. my_avatar.asp
. admin_my_avatar.asp
. pop_my_avatar_edit.asp
. my_avatar_show.asp
. my_avatar_topicaddon-topic.asp.txt
download the NEW package here ..... my_avatars_list_2.zip
(i did't update the previous zip, for someone maybe do'nt like this addon..)
(and if u have previous version installed, u can search
' ##### Avatar Link addon ..to see where modified.)
this My Avatars List mod already exceed my expect at beginning,
so i think i'd better STOP doing more "practice" before it becoming
to a huge and useless stuff...
when i do this AvatarLink addon, i feel dizzy and confused about
these code.. maybe it will full buggy and not practical..
so for test only.. no suggest to use on your forum before
other professional mod developers implement it.
and although it seem not too many people interested in newbie's mod,
i still glad to and enjoy sharing my practice works to all snitz's
friends. thanks everybody.. maybe next time i'll try something mod
more "smaller"... |
