I'd like to recommend NOT displaying the avatar images the way this mod suggests. With most new browsers, they don't display properly, and the code is more bloated than it needs to be.
CURRENTLY, the mod uses tables to display the avatar images. Notice that EVERY display also calls up noavatar.gif:
<table style="background-image: url( ); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" height="64" width="64">
<tr>
<td align="center"><img src="noavatar.gif" border="0" height="96" width="96"></td>
</tr>
</table>
I suggest using IF statements and DIV files to ensure proper display. This will also allow you to use a non-blank, non-transparent "noavatar.gif" image if you want:
("memberavatarvariable" would differ from spot to spot, and would be the data from the member table that says where to find the users avatar. If the user doesn't have one, then we show "noavatar.gif"...
if isnull(memberavatarvariable) or memberavatarvariable = "" or memberavatarvariable = " " then
<div style="background-image: url(noavatar.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" height="" & incAvatarHeight & "" width="" & incAvatarWidth & ""></div>
Else
<div style="background-image: url(path-to-member-avatar/avatar.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" height="" & incAvatarHeight & "" width="" & incAvatarWidth & ""></div>
end if

But that does make it a heck of a lot harder for people to 'hotlink' your avatars. Too much bother for most people.< |

Good suggestion. I haven't gotten into much CSS but I have jumped into it within the past few months. I'll be sure to include that update.
Update: I got one site up, just gotta fix some tables then create the next one. Other then that I should hop on it soon. Should go smoother since I figured out the host now.< |

| Zuel, I see that you're active again. Any chance of getting those annoying last few bugs sorted? Really, if members could delete their own avatars it would be about done.< |

In scouring a LOT of posts about this issue, I couldn't find anything that says it was fixed. I have the most
recent download available for Zuel's avatar MOD and had the same issue, so I fixed it and thought I would
post instructions here for anyone else who wants to fix theirs. 
So. Open incAvatarData.asp and look for the following at about line 54:
'=== Loop Through Record Sets ===
For iCat = 0 to iCatCount
strCatName = categoryResults(0, iCat)
Select Case (Request.QueryString("Select"))
Case privateFolderName, "ViewAll"
If (mLev = 4) Then
setCategoryInformation(privateFolderName)
Exit For
Change (mLev = 4) to (mLev > 0). Save. Users can now see and delete their own avatars by clicking on the
Personal (or whatever label you are using for private avatars) category.
Thank you for a terrific MOD, Zuel. Two thumbs up from me.< |

Cool. Thanks Shmanny. That has been bugging me for a while.
I have modified incAvatarData.asp slightly so it looks nicer and also fixed the bug where avatars with spaces in their file names don't display
correctly in the gallery.
You can download the updated file from here http://slender.mine.nu/incAvatarData.zip
I have put a link on the page as well to a web based picture editor. Most of my users need something simple to create their avatars. :-)
It would be nice if someone could add this to the original package so save others the hassle
Have fun< |
