Hey,

Got a question

On page 1 of this topic, Rob Poretti posted a reply saying that you could change the scale of the avatar to 3:4 by adding a line of code into the topic.asp

This does work, however it only changes the scale of the picture in the topic and reply bit. It doesn't change it in, say, the profile editing screen. There it is still the 32*32 or 64*64 size.

I have tried to find where the code is which defines it in these other places but am just not a programmer, and can't find it.

Can anyone help?

Cheers

Mmonkeyman

It's in the inc_avatar.asp file.

Down in the <script> section, in the function generateimage(which) part.

just look for the <% =rsavx("A_SIZE") %> that is on 2 different lines in that function.

You'll need to add that code to both lines.

Richard...WOW! what a cool and smooth way of implementing avatars for snitz forum! I love this avatar mod.

The instructions were clear and I was able to add this mod to my very heavily modified members and profile section just fine. Also using inc_avatars.asp was a nice touch, since it makes customizing this mod a whole lot nicer.

All I can say is, well done, richard...a superb job. and thank you so much for developing this mod.

Alan,

First off, thank you for the compliments.

I was trying to reduce the amount of editing of the Forum files as much as possible.

I am going to release version 2 soon, just have to make sure that it's stable.

Version 2 will have the option for the Admin to restrict Avatars to 1 person so that only that person can use it.

I will include the necessary database setup so that all you'll have to do is overwrite the current files (no editing of the forum files will be necessary), and then just choose the correct option in mod_dbsetup.asp. (i.e. First Time install, upgrade from v1.0 to v2.0, and uninstall mod from db(so you can just start over if you want))

It enables your user's to choose an Avatar(Picture) from a list that you provide and it shows up under the User's ranking when you viewing posts on the topic.asp page.

There is an admin interface for Adding Avatars, listing the current Avatars that are in the database and deleting current Avatars. You can also specify the size (either 32x32, or 64x64) and whether the Avatar will have a border around it or not.

There is a demo of what it looks like here: http://www3.webrc.ca/richard/snitz_forum/link.asp?TOPIC_ID=1

Here is how the user's choose their Avatars: http://www3.webrc.ca/richard/snitz_forum/register.asp?mode=Register

Technically it is done, just need to do the database setup scripts and test it with SQL Server and MySQL, I've already tested it with Access.

Hi Richard,

I'm running SQL7 on my development server. I'd be happy to check out version 2.

My flight got cancelled AGAIN today so I'm out of town starting tomorrow (weather permitting...)

But I'd give a try when I get back...

You can email me at rob@sascom.com


Cheers!

Rob


PS -- Oh shoot! I'm running sr2 -- not the best candidate for all the sr4 sites, sorry... I'd still check it out for the sr2 guys!
