http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=true&TOPIC_ID=42690
Shaggy got a running start on a mod that uses the profile photo as an avatar. I think Shaggy's idea was good.
However, the thread died out and was archived.
I attempted to implement it and got the same error as another poster:
Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A0009)
Subscript out of range: '[number: 1]'
/forumtest/inc_iconfiles.asp, line 183
...and this is what I read on inc_iconfiles.asp, line 183,
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function getCurrentIcon(fIconName,fAltText,fOtherTags)
if fIconName = "" then exit function
if fOtherTags <> "" then fOtherTags = " " & fOtherTags
if Instr(fIconName,"http://") > 0 then strTempImageUrl = "" else strTempImageUrl = strImageUrl
tmpicons = split(fIconName,"|")
if tmpicons(1) <> "" then fWidth = " width=""" & tmpicons(1) & """" if tmpicons(2) <> "" then fHeight = " height=""" & tmpicons(2) & """"
getCurrentIcon = "<img src=""" & strTempImageUrl & tmpicons(0) & """" & fWidth & fHeight & " border=""0"" alt=""" & fAltText & """ title=""" & fAltText & """" & fOtherTags & " />"
end function
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The error appears in the box where the avatar would normally go. And the photo url is clean. . .no unusual marks. Any ideas on how to make this mod work?

it will get really, really bad !
imagine that in the profile photo the user have a 1024x768 pixels photo that he/she got from Picasa/FlickR/etc ...
did you ever tried to have a 1024x768 pixel photo into a 96 x 96 pixel box without any manipulation whatsoever?
1. The photo size will be the same, so imagine a 20 posts with photos (some bigger than others) will take ages to load, and always remember, not all know how to handle pictures, so you will get some users set the URL link of their profile photo as a 8MP or 10MP image, and that's almost 4Mb that the user will need to download just to show the avatar
2. Because the resize is not made proportionally you will get a guy really shrink or a girl extremely fat, and no one will know what's in that picture! 3. there is more, but this 2 are the terrifing ones
I started with that for my forum, and was horrible, I had to teach everyone how to crop an image uploaded and set it as new profile ... I had to do something and that's why I made a new MOD so users could upload the picture, crop it and set as an avatar.

As I understand it, the image was supposed to be reduced to fit the space.
Here's Shaggy's code snippet.
Perhaps that is the problem?
Lines 582 - 585
if strShowRank = 2 or strShowRank = 3 then
Response.Write " " & getStar_Level(Reply_MemberLevel, Reply_MemberPosts) & "<br />" & vbNewLine
end if
if strPicture = 1 and trim(Reply_MemberPhoto) <> "" then
Response.Write " " & getCurrentIcon(trim(Reply_MemberPhoto), ChkString(Reply_MemberName,"display"), " width=""64"" height=""64""") & "<br />" & vbNewLine
end if
Response.Write " </p>" & vbNewLine & _<

All that does is change the display dimensions. A 2.3MB JPEG is still a 2.3MB download.<

Originally posted by AnonJrI was thinking of using Proeder's mod, set to one specific folder and modifying it to restrict image sizes for that specific folder. User's would be permitted to upload avatars to that one folder.
All that does is change the display dimensions. A 2.3MB JPEG is still a 2.3MB download.
In other words, it would be a common avatar folder and all users would have access to the avatars within it. Sounds like too much trouble? <
