Module: User Avatar

which "form for the avatars"? you mean how to upload them? Thats done in the controlcenter and nothing needs to be added for that manually.

It's weird... I have nothing special in the control centre...

which template are you using? did you enable this module at all?

And what version of Phorum? In older versions of Phorum, the template for the control center did not contain the hook that is used for displaying extra options in the control center. If you based your Phorum template on a recent template, then this should not be an issue though.

Oh sorry... I thought I'd enabled the module...

Well it's working now !

Thanks for you help !

awesome. I'm a newbie and figured it out.

I have installed the mod\ule and everything is working, except when I go to choose my default avatar it sends this error


Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /path/to/forum/include/controlcenter/mod_avatar.php on line 74

That is not a file that is part of this module. I guess that you are reporting the issue in the wrong module thread here. This might be a part of the user avatar module that was once written for Phorum 5.1. Try the module from this thread, which was designed for 5.2 and which makes installation easier and more robust.

I got that module up and running, thank you!

Hi Maurice,

I've tried to install that mod and it works partially well :-)

It seems that the avatars are only added to $PHORUM['DATA']['USER'] but not to ['MESSAGES'] or ['PROFILE']. So I'm the only one who is able to see my wonderful avatar:

[USER] => array
{
...
[user_avatar] => [www.blafasel.com]
[user_avatar_w] => 100
[user_avatar_h] => 100

...
}

So adding <img src="{MESSAGES->user_avatar}" alt="{MESSAGES->author}"/> to read.tpl show nothing, adding <img src="{USER->user_avatar}" alt="{MESSAGES->author}"/> shows the avatar.

Did I miss something?

Lorenz

forgot: Im using phorum 5.2.7 and the mods current version.
