Item: EggAvatar

[myg_weng]

is this compatible to any SMF version?

depends, not sure about previous version, but you should be running 1.1.2 anyways. plus smfshop will only install of a few different version.

long story short, if you can install smfshop, im pretty sure this item will work.

if you encounter :

"Unsuccessful, <name> not found, here have another egg"

and yet, you are 100% sure that the name is existing in the database, the username might not be the original one from his registration. 

To fix this problem just change the part where it compares the

memberName   = '".$_POST['egguser']."'"

to

realName. = '".$_POST['egguser']."'"




its on Line 171, Col 128 onwards

Or better yet...change the where clause to this:

Code: [Select]

WHERE memberName = '".$_POST['egguser']."' OR realName = '".$_POST['egguser']."'

That way it will check for either....

there would be a possibility that it would return two records :

1. If my username is USERA
2. then i changed it to USERB
3. then SOMEONE (say USERC) changed his name to USERA

then it would return two records.. if SOMEONE would egg USERA, then it would be either USERB or USERA.. dont know bout the succeeding lines but one of them would be egged.. but not exactly USERA

[TechnoDragon]

That is a possibility, but the same could also be said for every other occurance of similar code within SMF...that is essentially how it determines whether the user is correct...

Very cool little mod this Was wondering how, when someone is egged, they can remove it?

Cheers

[TechnoDragon]

that's the easy part...they just go into their profile and switch it back to their old one!

All installed great, apart from now, if you go to add/edit items.... this error appears:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class item_egguser in /home/XX/XXXXXXXXXXX/XXXXXX/forum/Sources/shop/items/EggUser.php on line 42

whoops sorry, here are the errors I have in the forum error log in relation to the above problem:

errors basically mean it couldnt find the avatar image

please make sure you have all your settings correct in smf admin area->attachments and avatars

also if possible can you please give me your test site address so i can check a few things

I think I found the problem.  I looked in your egguser.php and found

Code: [Select]

image: image file name. FOR THIS RELEASE THIS HAS TO BE A GIF. IF THIS FAILS,
       IT WILL NOT WARN YOU, AND IT WILL SAVE AN UNALTERED VERSION IN THE EGGED FOLDER
In the above error message and also in one I got today it shows the avatar in question

2: getimagesize(http://www.mysite.com/testforum/avatars/egged/egged_fred blogs.png)

This only works with gifs, so that would explain it, right?

Is there any chance of getting this to work with .png and .jpg avatars as I have 100s of them on my server and would hate to have to start changing them all over to .gifs

odd, as it should be working with png file types ill look into that.

for jpg well, since its not officially support by GD, i havent included it sorry,

[perplexed]

I tried it again on the test site and it worked ok with a png but i had to hard refresh the page to pick up the change

Is there a fix for the 'find members' problem?  It works ok in the shop but not on this item when you try to use it on someone?

~thanks

it's working on .pngs the first time you egg them but after they've been egged it doesnt seem to recognise them or something.  Maybe something to do with the egged folder?

error in the forum log is:
