Thanks Jasinner

I installed the update and checked the chmod's but there is no change that I can see.

Do I have to create a new user to see the changes?

Thanks

It's looking good. I'm playing about with sub boards and moving new boards into alphabetically arranged sub boards. This is cool.

Keep up the good work. 8)

I'm glad the Security Update mod works ok.

I had a look at your forum and I see the picture's sizes are a little strange. Ensure you have allow user's avatars set in the User's avatars admin section and try adjusting the BoardIndex.pl as follows

replace

if ($bdpic =~ /\//i) { $bdpic = qq~ <img src="$bdpic" alt="" border="0" align="middle" /> ~; }
elsif ($bdpic) { $bdpic = qq~ <img src="$imagesdir/$bdpic" alt="" border="0" align="middle" /> ~; }

with

if ($bdpic =~ /\//i) { $bdpic = qq~ <img src="$bdpic" alt="" border="0" align="middle" style="max-width: 65px;"/> ~; }
elsif ($bdpic) { $bdpic = qq~ <img src="$imagesdir/$bdpic" alt="" border="0" align="middle" style="max-width: 65px;"/> ~; }

That's what I was talking about. I thought you must have been resizing them manually.

As long it's a compatibilty issue with some other mod and not mine, that's cool  8)

That variable is one created by the Extended Profiles mod, so I don't have an easy way to set the default for it.

I would be asking in the extended profiles thread about a way to set defaults for variables created by that mod.

OK, I got it to work and having played about with everything it turned out to be simpler than I thought.

I wanted a new board to always be created automatically and this is how I did it:


In the register.pl find and delete this line.

        $useBlogFieldInput<br/><small>$blog_txt{'3'}</small>

Find:
 
       require "$sourcedir/BlogCategory.pl";
                            my $isBlog = ${$reguser}{'ext_0'};
          if($isBlog == 1){


Change to:
 
       require "$sourcedir/BlogCategory.pl";
                            my $isBlog = ${$reguser}{'ext_0'};
          if($isBlog == 0){


Then in the Edit Profile Fields settings:
 
Change the setting for (Field Name: useBlog) to Not Required.

Change the setting for (Field Name: self introduction) to Required.


With the 'self introduction' field being set to Required, the new member will have to fill in the field before it will complete registration. This also makes registration less vulnerable to bots etc.

It's a bit crude but it works.  

Hi Jasinner

Good to see you back onto this. I'm probably not the best person to test this as I have edited my files as per my last post. Im pushing the blogs option on my forum where I would like everyone that joins to have a board. They don't have to use it though. I don't want the board to disappear so I will disable this option.

However, I would still like to have the new update avatar and introduction features so have had a go at moding the files manually.

Only change that I could see in your mod file was in the first two edits.

Sources/UsersAvatars.pl
&
Sources/Profile.pl

I added these changes.

I also uploaded the BlogCategory.pl as that had changed.

Where you have said to change the URL my url is a full link:

http://www.eulogia.co.uk/yabbfiles/avatars/UsersAvatars

So I am not sure what I should put here. I just replaced the whole link with: UsersAvatars

I logged in as a random user and tried to change the users text and then save but I got this error:

Untrapped Error:
Undefined subroutine &main::loadBoards called at ./Sources/Profile.pl line 1395.

I checked out line 1395 and it was:

      @forumControl = &loadBoards('forum.control');

I have restored my files for just now. Have you any idea what the problem might be here?

Feel free to hop onto my server. I think you may still have the details? I have backed up the forum.

I Love the mod even without this option.  8)
