I just tried this again. When I let someone have an avatar, I get a bunch of errors.

in the post with the avatar user, when they have the only single post- its fine. With the same poster posting in the same thread, the first post has the avatar- any post thereafter from the same user does not have an avatar.

if, I have a user with no avatar as the first poster, if an avatar using poster responds, the first user (no avatar) has a broken image and the avatar using poster does not have any...

I hope I explained that clear enough.


is there anyway to fix this and stop it from happening?

I've not used this mod, and never looked at the code, so this is something of a wild guess, but...does the mod make changes to the topic.asp file? If so, there are two sections to that file - one for the topic starter, and one for replies. It sounds as if you only modified the code for the first post, and not the reply posts.

Again, just a guess.

You got it Soar

There are two places to change in topic.asp, check your alterations in both positions.

I checked my topic.asp with the readme file and I have everything I need to have and I still ended up with the problem. When I went to try and play with some of the code (it gives a few different versions...) I get varied error messages::

expected end of statement line 814
Response.Write  "                <font color=""" & strForumFontColor & """ face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """><small>" & Member_Posts & " Posts</small></font><br />" & vbNewLine & _
----------------^


or different ones like expected end sub line 919 (where there is an End Sub) I cant recreate these errors any more.

The main thing is...its still not working.

here is .txt for it and the read me.

Try this...

At line 592 you have:

if Reply_MemberAvatar > "noavatar.gif" then

It should probably be:

if Reply_MemberAvatar <> "noavatar.gif" then

Delete lines 803 – 807 (line 803 is a blank line, by the way), like so:

Response.Write " </p>" & vbNewLine & _
" <p>" & vbNewLine


Response.Write " </p>" & vbNewLine

Response.Write " </p>" & vbNewLine
Response.Write " </p>" & vbNewLine

if Member_Avatar <> "noavatar.gif" then
response.write" <img src=""" & Member_Avatar & """ width=""" & intAvatarWidth & """ height=""" & intAvatarHeight & """ border=""" & intAvatarBorder & """><br /><br />"
end if
if strCountry = "1" and trim(Member_Country) <> "" then
Response.Write " <font color=""" & strForumFontColor & """ face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """><small>" & Member_Country & "</small></font><br />" & vbNewLine
end if

ok- seem to be getting an error with members that do not have avatars. Those without end up having a box that shows the location of an avatar, but there shouldnt be anything.

here is an image of it::

www.ichabod.org/tests/avatartest.jpg


test has an avatar listed but test2 does not. However test2 shows a missing avatar of sorts.

How do I go about fixing this so it doesnt look like this and is displayed correctly?

the topic.asp was fixed with the last suggestion of code

See what URL the broken image points to. Did you upload noavatar.gif to your images folder?

With the Avatar Mod there is no strImageURL in front of noavatar.gif in the code.

Zerakh,

Make a copy of the noavatar.gif in your forum directory. See if that fixes it.

That is the idea of the noavatar.gif. It is a blank image. Also known as a transparent gif.

right- I understand that, but the thing is when you look at the forum, the user that isnt supposed to have an avatar has the image that I posted. I know that this should not happen.

but the question is:: how do I get rid of that but still allow all users that have an avatar to have them show correctly and vice versa.

what url? there is no url- the avatar isnt supposed to point to a url. the image itself is supposed to be called up from the main directory or even the avatar file directory that I have posted. Neither one works. All I get is the same image showing for those that are not supposed to have an avatar. (please see the image I attached earlier)

I think you want one of the following:

[1] When a user has no image, don't show the noavatar.gif and the image border that goes with it.

If this is what you want to do then you can either go into inc_avatar.asp and change the image to something else. The lines of code are around 108-116

if IsNull(rs("M_AVATAR_URL")) or rs("M_AVATAR_URL") = "" or rs("M_AVATAR_URL") = " " or rs("M_AVATAR_URL") = "noavatar.gif" or Request.QueryString("mode") = "Register" then

 Response.write	"<option selected value=""noavatar.gif""> None</OPTION>" & VbNewLine                
else                
 Response.write	"<option value=""noavatar.gif""> None</OPTION>" & VbNewLine                
end if

or
On your topic page insert the following:
if Member_Avatar <> "noavatar.gif" then
response.write" <img src=""" & Member_Avatar & """ width=""" & intAvatarWidth & """ height=""" & intAvatarHeight & """ border=""" & intAvatarBorder & """><br /><br />
else
'Do Nothing

end if

[2] noavatar.gif isn't showing up on the forums, some other image is.

Right click the image and see what image is being pulled. I saw your forum are you the one using advant browser. Could that dot be their way of saying broken link?
