Module: User Avatar

So the code you gave me would print out the number 4, or am I completely off?

$avatar_id = 4;

avatar_id seems to contain nothing when I try to write it out...

you have to strip the P_SER: in front of the serialized code.

Now I got it to work :), I get out the number 4 with the $avatar_id. But it seems that i cant use: /phorum/file.php?file=4 must I include som files to work with this file or something?

Hey,

i want to use users avatar pictures on my index page,

[code="php"]
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM phorum_files
WHERE link='avatar' AND user_id='$user_id'
LIMIT 1");
while ($r1 = mysql_fetch_array($query))
{
print("<img src=\"phorum/file.php?0,file=" . $r1['file_id'] . ",filename=" . $r1['filename'] . "\" />");
}
[/code]


i tried those codes, i cant see the image on page but i can see with right clicking - and "show image" option.



but i cant show the image on panel


thanks,

Check the setting "Allow Linking To Uploaded Files" from the "General Settings" section in the Phorum admin. If that is not set to "From any website", then check if setting it to that option changes things for you.

The code in general looks okay to me. You might want to use urlencode($r1['filename']) instead of plain $r1['filename'] to make sure that special characters are escaped correctly in the URL.

after allowing it works good, thanks for helping

Is there any way that you could incorporate 'convert' into this for resizing? I currently have a home rolled hack/module that I use so users can upload their picture. I'm probably going to borrow a bit of code from this module so that they can upload more than 1 photo, delete old ones (Currently you can only upload a photo to remove the current one).

However my end users are not the brightest computer users and if I told them that their photo had to be such that the longest edge was 600px and had to be in a jpg format, I don't know if I'd ever get photos. Some guys tried uploading BMPs huge photos, etc.

My host has ImageMagick installed, so I use the convert program to scale images to 600 if they are larger. I was playing with this in the avatar module and it wouldn't be too hard to add. Just add a check box for "Resize" and then a box for a link to the convert binary. Then some logic, "If resize is enabled, do resize".

[code="php"]
$new_file = tempnam("/tmp/","upload_").".jpg";
$command = "/usr/bin/convert -thumbnail '600x600>'" . " '" . $_FILES['pict']['tmp_name'] . "' '" . $new_file . "'";
[/code]

For creating thumnails, I started the image API in include/api/image.php, to have a generic image scaling library that can be used from any module that needs image processing. I'm planning on putting the resizing in the avatar module. Maybe even some extra nice tool like cropping, which is not too hard if the image processing backend tools are available on the server.

I just upgrade my 5.2.9a phorum to 5.2.10 version. All is OK, but my mod Avatar don't work. In ../templates/emerald/read.tpl I add
<td style="padding-right:10px">
{IF MESSAGES->user_avatar}
<img src="{MESSAGES->user_avatar}" alt="avatar"
{IF MESSAGES->user_avatar_w}
style="width:{MESSAGES->user_avatar_w}px;
height:{MESSAGES->user_avatar_h}px"
{/IF} />
{/IF}
</td>
as it was in the old phorum.
Please, help me!

Same here...
