Anyone who knows about Gaia online knows about their avatars...well, a lot of searching on the net produced nearly worthless results towards adding a similar feature to a forum or a website for that matter. After a lot of searching I came acrros but one version on the net but it was done with javascript with all of the files that actually made it work housed on another site...again...worthless in the long run.
So...I decided to create my very own version that I WILL distribute freely on the net...
Currently you can see the fruits of my labor here:
http://avatar.dragontalk.netThis is the standalone version for anyone who wants to add this to their website...
Currently I am now in the process of making this a MOD for SMF...while I have the basic page and link set up with the permissions to allow or not people to see and use it, i have several other functions/permissions that I plan on implementing when I am done...
currently this is at version 1.0...
Future version hope to have the following abilities:
- Save the avatar to profile when finished instead of as an image and then upload to your profile manually.
- A Full admin panel to add/remove/edit items
- The Ability for members to go back and change their avatars they have already made OR create a new one (see next option)
- Ability to restrict the number of avatars that any one member can make similar to limiting the number of PMs a member can receive.
-
Integrate with the shop (if installed) so that members can use points they earn on the purchase of their avatar and various items - Any other ideas brought to my attention...
This was/has/is a major project and I want anyone's input on layout or features if you have them....
