User Avatar Module

Problem with this avatar module is that it only works if the forum is set with Public Read Permission enabled in your forum setting.

If you disable read permission on Public then the avatar will no longer be displayed in the Control Center even if you uploaded them to your control center unless you go to a forum that have Public Read Permission enable then go to Control Center from that forum and avatars will appear in the avatar setting.

So those with phorum that is set up for registered members only forums will not be able to use this module until this bug is resolved or you need to set the forum with at least public read permission enabled.

Seem like to me that you only added avatar in read.tpl which is flat view but did not add avatar in the thread_read.tpl which is the Threaded view.

I've got an error:

Warning: getimagesize(http://forum.mysite.com/file.php?0,file=3) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: Connection timed out in /var/phorum/include/controlcenter/mod_user_avatar.php on line 63

How can I fix it?

The avatar mod was unable to read forum.mysite.com/file.php?0,file=3 in time. See if you can open the image when entering that URL in your web browser.

Do you get this message on every request or is it an occassional message? Either PHP is not working correctly in loading the image via a http request or the webserver is not performing well, causing the timeout to appear.

Either way, I don't know how to fix this.

Yes, I can open image from the browser but WEB-server cant get it. It seems to Me problems in DNS causing that. Thanks for help.

Very nice modules, I like the newer version and had the old one operating for a while.

On the new version today, I found it helpful to mix up the read.tpl so it aligns better by adding an extra table and putting the username and avatar in that so it doesn't float away. Here's the code, you might have to look for what I moved, I removed some divs for alignment.

<table border='0' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' width='100%'>
<tr>
<td>
{IF MESSAGES->mod_user_avatar}
<img src="{MESSAGES->mod_user_avatar}" align="right">
{/IF}
<strong>
{IF MESSAGES->parent_id 0}
{MESSAGES->subject}{MESSAGES->new}
{ELSE}
{MESSAGES->subject}{MESSAGES->new}
{/IF}
</strong>
<br />
{LANG->Postedby}: <strong>{MESSAGES->linked_author}</strong> ({MESSAGES->ip})<br />
{LANG->Date}: {MESSAGES->datestamp}<br />
<br /><br />{MESSAGES->body}<br><br>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Argl... it´s pure horror... please help me!

First I tried the avatar-module with multiple avatars, shown in the module-section on this site (listet below this version). Because of many problems with this old version, I tried this one.

In the control panel I can see the avatar-menue. Ok. I also can activate my own avatar.
I did everything written in the readme.txt, just added my own german language-file.

My default-view is the "thread-view", not flat. In flat-mode I can see the avatar, but not in thread-mode (I added the code in read.tpl AND read-thread.tpl; and of course i uploaded them ;-) ). When i open a currently written post in thread-mode, i just see the red "X" (Internet Explorer), and with firefox just a red "x" for 0,5 seconds. Whats wrong? Please help me before getting totally confused :-/

Thank you!
Thorsten

Did you use "MESSAGES" instead of "MESSAGE" in the template code for read_threads.tpl? It should be "MESSAGE".

If this is not the problem, then what code did you add?
