»PhpBB mod (freeware): Persistent Avatars + Avatar Toplist«


Yes, something like that would work too but I mean something more like this:

function iai_submit_post(...)
{
submit_post();
update_post_stats();
}


So basically a two-liner. BUT: You need to override the flood control within "submit_post"

Help Please!


I just install this mod and it's great! One problem though... it worked for a few minutes then I could no longer see the avatars or the voting at all (I am under my admin account). I think others can see them because I looked and in the last 5 minutes many people voted. What did I do wrong?

You mean, everyone sees the voting buttons except you (= the admin)?

Question,

How would I (or can I) reset the ratings and voting? I was testing the MOD and wanted to set it to new befor my members started using it.

Thank you for your help

Go to phpMyAdmin and delete the Table "avatartoplist".

Then vote for 1 avatar, to recreate it again.

Missing Avatars On ViewTopic.php

Hi - I installed this mod on my website and as soon as I ran avatarsuite_sql_installation.php, it caused all the avatars on my site to disappear.

The error message said something along the lines of:

Mod installation failure. Could not copy user avatars to post avatars.

I have no idea what this means, but I have a feeling that this is the problem. The avatars disappeared on viewtopic.php even before I modified this.

How do I reverse the modifications done with avatarsuite_sql_installation.php and get the the avatars back?

What does that mean?

I think the avatars could disappear if you don't complete the installation = if you forget to change viewtopic.php

It means that the 2 fields in the database have not been added.
Can you add "user_avatar" and "user_avatar_type" manually to phpbb_posts?

This is strange. Are you using MySQL?

avatarsuite_sql_installation.php adds ADDITIONAL fields to the database. Has nothing to do with the disappearing of the avatars. Only the editing of viewtopic.php can make avatars disappear.

Does the sql installer make any other changes? Does it copy avatars across to another location?


ie, here is
an example of the viewtopic.php - as you can see, the avatars don't appear.

Using phpmyadmin, I've been able to see that the new tables have been entered successfully.


Even when I change back to my original Viewtopic.php, the avatars fail to appear. Sad

This is very worrying!

Is there any way to sort this out? Can I send you a copy of my viewtopic.php file?

No, it just makes a copy of the avatar filenames.

Yup, PM me your viewtopic.php

I think I know what happened. It's easy to fix:
For some reason the avatarfilenames have not been copied from the users table to the post table. Thus viewtopic.php gets only empty strings.

Aha - this seems quite likely - do you know the SQL command I could need to sort this out?

Your prompt responses are greatly appreciated! Yes, oh yes.. keep going

But then I don't understand why even your old viewtopic.php doesn't work.

The command to re-copy the avatars is in the "avatarsuite_sql_installation.php". Simply rerun it.

I did this and got the following message

Mod Installation started...
Error: Mod installation failure. Could not alter posts table. Most probably you have the Sticky Avatar mod installed already. Or you are running this installation for a second time.
Error: Mod installation failure. Could not copy user avatars to post avatars.
Mod installation finished! Please delete this file now and continue with the installation as written in the "readme.txt"

I don't have the sticky avatar mod installed - and I'm running the file for maybe the fourth time!

I looked in the phpbb_posts table and in the user_avatar table, everything seems to be blank and in the user_avatar_type table, everything is set to 0

Does this mean that they have somehow been deleted?

I've tried registering about 10 times but it keeps telling me that there is 'wrong validation' - which details do you need and I can email them to you.
