Avatar uploading and gallery...

raciviusdawn · 10-27-2003, 11:40 AM

I tried enabling this from the admin panel on this particular forum that I'm co-webbing right now since the owner has been MIA for 4 months but it doesn't work...

Is there some code to enable or some script to run or some mod to install?

Since I know your script I know your using phpbb.

To allow people to upload avatars you have to go into the admin panel and enable avatar uploads. Then you need to make sure you have the proper paith in the config to upload avatars. I belive the default is

images/avatars/upload/

Then you need to make sure you chmod that folder to 777 so as to allow people to save files to that folder. You can chmod from either a web based file manager or from a good FTP program.

As far as the avatar gallery there should be a directory at

images/avatars/gallery/ just upload within its own folder the avatars you want in the gallery to that folder. Basicly you will end up with a bunch of folders within the gallery folder. PHPBB will pickup those automaitcly.

what to you mean by 'generic avatars'.

when you say generic smileys do you mean emoticons? You need a smilie pack to add more smilies unless you want to do it by hand.
