subBlack3dBlue Guest Image is blank with an X

:? :?: How do I add an image for guest posts? I want guest to be able to post hijackthis logs without filling up my forum with ugly x boxes. I copy the image within and html editor to try and pinpoint the location the file my be where as I can replace, but this was all I got

<img alt src border="0">

The forum is here look how the "x" over guess, when I right-click for a file location, I just get the main url. What can I change to fix this for guest members?

Are you saying you don't know where this gif file is located? or if it is a gif file that needs to be placed there somewhere? Or perhaps include a file name somewhere in a configure file or something?

Nar i dont think its that - when you click proporties of the image it just shows the site url i.e www.yoursite.com/ thats it, no image path.
Its odd

oo:

If it doesn't work up to this point then open viewtopic.php and comment out or remove the following lines:

Code:

if ( $poster_id == ANONYMOUS )
{
$poster_avatar = '[img]'.  $images['guest_avatar'] .'[/img]';
 }

That will work.

It's not odd, it's common have seen it in many nuke sites

You learn something everyday :roll:

If it doesnt work also comment this out

Code:

if ( empty($poster_avatar) && $poster_id != ANONYMOUS)
        {
$poster_avatar = '[img]'.  $images['default_avatar'] .'[/img]';
        }

Thanks Guys, I followed the link given by xerox51 (this) which led me to this:

If you allow guest posting in your Forums, then you may want to add this little hack in order for your Guest/Anonymous user to have an assigned default avatar.
To make this work do the following.

open modules/Forums/viewtopic.php
Find this line

I changed

Quote:

Code:
if ( $postrow[$i]['user_avatar_type'] && $poster_id != ANONYMOUS && $postrow[$i]['user_allowavatar'] )

change it to this

Quote:

Code:
if ( $postrow[$i]['user_avatar_type'] && $postrow[$i]['user_allowavatar'] )

Now you need to assign an Avatar to the Anonymous user in the Database.
Go to your Database table _users.
I recommend using phpMyadmin
Browse the users and select the Anonymous. This is usually user_id number 1.
The user_avatar field needs to be changed to whatever.gif (your guest avatar image name) Make sure you upload this Guest Avatar to both the modules/Forums/images/avatars and modules/Forums/images/avatars/gallery folders just in case your pathing is screwy.

If it doesn't work up to this point then open viewtopic.php and comment out or remove the following lines:

and deleted this for it to work

Quote:

Code:
if ( $poster_id == ANONYMOUS )
{
$poster_avatar = '[img]'. $images['guest_avatar'] .'[/img]';
}

Thanks All!
