So is this thing good/stable enough to use on a non-test forum? I'd like to add an avatar mod and this looks nice but I don't want to add something that should only be used in a test environment for now.<

Well, I am currently doing a redesign on my site which is consuming all of my time. Along with work, class and several other projects I am working on. The redesign can only be finished when I finish the avatar mod because I will be installing it on there.

Been working on a News Mod which pulls the information directly from a hidden forum. Also was working on a Member roster which displays the members class, race, professions and fully integrated it with Snitz and the usergroup mod. Both are done and work great.

But anywho, I'll continue reading this thread for bugs (Not Suggestions) and put out something that works later on. My hands are tied at the moment. The problem is that I accept too many suggestions before releasing anything final which prolongued the due date. Lessons learned I won't be doing that again.

And Tony I will fix that once I look into it.<

I just noticed another bug.

I have 6 avatar categories (in addition to Private). But the upload box (frmAvatarMain.asp) only works properly for the first two. The last 4 produce a blank white box.

TonyB7,

On your last post you stated that the other 4 categories aren't working. What are the names of all of your categories?

I have 6 and they work. Could be that my version is newer but for testing could you submit a screenshot as well? My first guess is that your last 4 categories have no images in them.


EDIT: Whilst I write this I was testing and found the problem. Before the loop, Line 861 roughly (might be little off)

FIND: iCatCount = UBound(categoryResults)
REPLACE WITH: iCatCount = UBound(categoryResults, 2)

It wasn't checking for the highest record, thats why.

I also added a lil feature. When a user clicks the submit button to upload a new images, I hide the submit and reset button. Shows the user that something is going on.



TonyB7,

Now why do you need to assign a user their avatar? I don't see a need for this because:

[1] You can set a category up with nothing but static avatars. All they need to do is click.
[2] There is a URL box for them to just enter a URL then click.
[3] To delete or change obscene, just delete their avatar in the Avatar Review that came with the standard Avatar package.

But if your reason makes perfect sense, then I'll go ahead and try to piece something together.

The version I have has all known bugs fixed, undocumented features and fixes and is near its next testing phase.

*) Changing the line in IncAvatarData has fixed that little problem.
*) I'm not seeing the hidden buttons, but uploads are fast so maybe I'm just not recognizing it. No way you can refresh the profile page to show the newly uploaded avatar?
*) My upload file size limits are still screwed. With the limit set at 10k, I was unable to upload a 5k file.
*) A user can still delete their current avatar.

And that was the last time I wanted to change a person's avatar. They deleted theirs, resulting in a whole slew of 404 errors. The only thing I could do was write them and beg them to select 'noavatar.gif' from the list.

You suggest deleting avatars from the main list, but if the code is still looking for the deleted avatar we're back in 404 city.

Besides, it's just how admin functions are _supposed_ to work. I can change anything else in their profile; but when I change their avatar it changes mine instead. Got to be a fix for that.<

I didn't create a new zip file yet, if you didn't download something.

Who where what and when?

I don't think I made any popups anywhere. You go from Profile Page > frmAvatarMain.asp > to anywhere else. Once you click an avatar on frmAvatarMain your avatar is instantly updated and should reflect that on the automatic refresh on frmAvatarMain.asp. Once you navigate back to your profile it should update as long as your not using the back button.

What if I just create a little function that when an admin views another persons profile it says, Change this person avatar to default?

Forces it to noavatar.gif.

That upload limits still need my testing. Still can't replicate that well.

frmAvatarMain.asp is in a popup window when you upload an avatar. When you're finished, you can close the popup window, but your profile window must be manually refreshed to see the changes.

I think in the interim some text should be added to the 'success' message: "You must manually refresh your profile page to see the change".


>change to default

Yes, that would be better than nothing. Certainly better than simply deleting their avatar and generating errors.<

I have added some code changes to Pop_profile.asp which gives Admin users who are editing a users profile to reset the avatar. I also made an addition on the frmAvatarMain.asp page to include a button to reset your own avatar.

Both should help fix that problem.

Other notes, I added a javascript onload event on all the pop windows to give focus. This should make all the popups pop front in all browsers. (effects Personal Upload / Public upload)

I added updated text on success messages to inform users to refresh the page.

Current Plans:

Rewriting the loops that pull the avatars from the avatar folder. Having 3 nested For Loops is horrible.

Rewriting the Personal avatar category. Buggy doesn't always work either.

Add some controls on the Avatar Upload Class. To find out what is causing the upload to fail even though it meets the requirements.

Anything else non design/feature related? Leave it to bugs, no more features will be added.<

Success!!!!

The page loads sooo much faster and always displays the owners current avatar. Now to add this feature to the rest of the methods. Split the code into one function and one loop. Works like a charm, **** I'm good.<

Just fixed the bug that didn't display "Upload Limit Exceeded" on all the other pages. Also added a check to redirect a user to tries to upload while the limit has been exceeded.

EDIT: Fixed a bug that allowed users to delete avatars they did not upload.<

Not yet. I have create another test forum and install the mod before I put it in a zip file. I can't upload a broken mod, at least I try not too.

When I do, the post I make will outline all the details.

At this point, I am finding and fixing bugs left and right through my extensive testing. Would be annoying to download a new ZIP file to compare changes every few hours.<

Yeah I know. Sorry the long delay. I'm shooting on releasing the next beta version Friday. (Or tonight )

I have a three day weekend starting in 4 hours. Since it isn't a payday, I have nothing better to do.<
