MOD: Avatars Different Sizes

I often find people want to use the same avatar on all forums but when different forums are using different size avatars this is not always possible.

Here is some changes to the avatar code to make it possible to have the avatars all different sizes.

Instructions

1. Edit the inc_avatar.asp file which is located in your forums directory.
Change this code :
		 		    response.write	"	<img name=""URL"" src=""" & "noavatar.gif"" border=""" & intAvatarBorder & """ height=""" & intAvatarHeight & """ width=""" &  intAvatarWidth & """>"
	    else
		 		    response.write	"	<img name=""URL"" src=""" & rs("M_AVATAR_URL") & """ width=""" & intAvatarWidth & """ height=""" & intAvatarHeight & """ border=""" & intAvatarBorder & """>"
Into this :
		 		    response.write	"	<img name=""URL"" src=""" & "noavatar.gif"" border=""" & intAvatarBorder & """>"
	    else
		 		    response.write	"	<img name=""URL"" src=""" & rs("M_AVATAR_URL") & """ border=""" & intAvatarBorder & """>"
Here I have erased all the scripts knowledge to what the size of this forum's avatars are.

That will update the JScript in the Profile and Register page to change for the size of the image.

2. Now you need to edit the size of the avatars on the topic pages. Edit the file topic.asp which is also located in your forums directory.
Change this code somewhere around line 796.
		 		    response.write"		<img src=""" & Member_Avatar & """ width=""" & intAvatarWidth & """ height=""" & intAvatarHeight & """ border=""" & intAvatarBorder & """>"
Change that to :
		 		    response.write"		<img src=""" & Member_Avatar & """ border=""" & intAvatarBorder & """>"

3. Now stay in your topic.asp for the next change.
Around line 584 change this :
		 		    response.write"		<img src=""" & Reply_MemberAvatar & """ width=""" & intAvatarWidth & """ height=""" & intAvatarHeight & """ border=""" & intAvatarBorder & """>"
Changes to this :
		 		    response.write"		<img src=""" & Reply_MemberAvatar & """ border=""" & intAvatarBorder & """>"

4. Next you need to edit the pop_profile.asp file to update the member's profile pages.
Change this code somewhere near line 305 :
						" 	<td bgColor=""" & strPopUpTableColor & """ align=""center"" colspan=""2""><img src=""" & ChkString(rs("M_AVATAR_URL"), "url") & """ width=""" & intAvatarWidth & """ height=""" & intAvatarHeight & """ border=""" & intAvatarBorder & """></td>" & vbNewLine & _
Into this :
						" 	<td bgColor=""" & strPopUpTableColor & """ align=""center"" colspan=""2""><img src=""" & ChkString(rs("M_AVATAR_URL"), "url") & """ border=""" & intAvatarBorder & """></td>" & vbNewLine & _

5. Now go into your admin_avatar_settings.asp file and delete this which is located around line 113 :
		response.write	"			</b></font></td>" & vbNewLine & _
		"			</tr>" & vbNewLine & _
		"			<tr>"  & vbNewLine & _
		"			<td bgcolor=""" & strPopUpTableColor & """ align=""right"" valign=""middle""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """ color=""" & strDefaultFontColor & """><b> Avatar Size: </b></font></td>" & vbNewLine & _
		"			<td bgcolor=""" & strPopUpTableColor & """ align=""center"" valign=""middle""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """ color=""" & strDefaultFontColor & """><b> " &_ 
	       "				Height <input name=""intAvatarHeight"" value="""" size=""4"" maxsize=""3"" />" &_
	       "				Width <input name=""intAvatarWidth"" value="""" size=""4"" maxsize=""3"" />"
If you are using an older version of the Avatars Mod you may not have this code. In that case you may just forget this change and the change of the size in the Admin Avatars Settings will have no use.6. The final step in this code is to change the size in the admin_review_avatar.asp file.
Change this which is located around line 116 :
				"<td bgcolor=""" & strForumFirstCellColor & """ align=""center""> <img src=""" & AvatarURL & """ & width=""" & intAvatarWidth & """ height=""" & intAvatarHeight & """ border=""" & intAvatarBorder & """> </td>" & vbNewLine & _
Into this :
				"<td bgcolor=""" & strForumFirstCellColor & """ align=""center""> <img src=""" & AvatarURL & """ border=""" & intAvatarBorder & """> </td>" & vbNewLine & _


That is all the changes which you should have to make. Anyone is welcome to use this small change to the avatars modification and if you encounter and problems along the way please post them and along with other members I'll try to fix your problem.

Details

Changes for Snitz Forums Version 3.4.03
Has been tested on version 3.4.03 and worked fine.
Only some small changes would be needed for other versions.

Bugs / Fixes
Included the changes which I missed in the pop_profile.asp page found by Dave6625.
Also I have added changes of the Avatars Settings page to get rid of the avatar size option.

None at time of posting.

Test Website

You may take a look at this at my website's Snitz discussion forum. If you click on register then accept and you can see how the size changes when selecting different avatars.

PS : This is my first ever real modification I have worked on so please excuse me if I have forgotten or missed out anything.

Cheers, Josh

But then the size attribute tags in inc_profile.asp (or is it pop_profile.asp?) don't do anything correct? Shouldn't they be removed?

Dave someone please correct me if I'm wrong but the inc_avatar.asp file is actually included in the register and profile page.

This is the page which controls changing the avatars on those pages.

Yes (I think), but there are two text fields in the profile page.
Looks like:
Avatar size: [TEXTFIELD] X [TEXTFIELD]

The avatars will be any size regardless of the input into these boxes.

I've fixed it and added the instructions for the pop_profile.asp page. There were only some small changes but as I've learn ever a one letter spelling mistake can make the world of a difference.

Also I was not sure whether you were referring to the Avatars Admin page in your last post but I have changed it to take out the Avatar Width and Height since it won't work. I do not think it would be worth taking out the Database values as well.

To avoid any confusion in changing the code on the admin_avatar_settings.asp page I have created a new version of the file which you can use.

http://www.v8impact.com/forums/admin_avatar_settings.txt

Tell me if you have any problems...

Hmmm...

Unless you have users uploading their own avatars this probably wouldn't be a big problem because you could check the size before you add the avatar...

Still it could be a problem... I'm not sure of the way to limit sizes in ASP... Anyone that might be able to help ?

i use this avatar mod but i did a little implementation to permit user to choose an avatar form an external url, so the problem of the size is big...

i found a code to control the size of images using server.mappath but if the image is not on the server?
anyone has any idea?
