problems with block-Top_Posters.php

smallfry · **problems with block-Top_Posters.php -** 03-05-2003, 10:50 AM

I downloaded the block-Top_Posters.php and installed it .. it was working fine and then I changed my avatar to an avatar off site ... So now my image in the block is an X because of the way the block is coded ..does anyone know how to fix the code so it will work with off site avatars... I could just add the avatar on the site but then ever time it happens I would have to move around avatars sounds like extra work to me

..
thanks for any help you can give me ...

replace this code:

Code:

$content .= "<a href=\"modules.php?name=Forums&file=profile&mode=viewprofile&u=$user_id\"><img alt src=\"modules/Forums/images/avatars/$user_avatar\" border =\"0\" width=\"32\"></a></td>";

With:

Code:

if (eregi("http://", $user_avatar)) {
$content .= "<a href=\"modules.php?name=Forums&file=profile&mode=viewprofile&u=$user_id\"><img alt src=\"$user_avatar\" border =\"0\" width=\"32\"></a></td>";
}
else
$content .= "<a href=\"modules.php?name=Forums&file=profile&mode=viewprofile&u=$user_id\"><img alt src=\"modules/Forums/images/avatars/$user_avatar\" border =\"0\" width=\"32\"></a></td>";

You may have to set the borders to 0 to make it look right.. Hope this helps!

The block has been updated, at first it did not include this option as FB had plans to only leave gallery avatars, if using nuke 6.0 the code as posted
above would change to

Code:

if (eregi("http://", $user_avatar)) { 
$content .= "<a href=\"modules.php?name=Forums&file=profile&mode=viewprofile&u=$uid\"><img alt src=\"$user_avatar\" border =\"0\" width=\"32\"></a></td>"; 
} 
else 
$content .= "<a href=\"modules.php?name=Forums&file=profile&mode=viewprofile&u=$uid\"><img alt src=\"modules/Forums/images/avatars/$user_avatar\" border =\"0\" width=\"32\"></a></td>";

dsnail2000 · **use $user_id NOT $uid -** 03-17-2003, 03:47 PM

No, my code is correct. The reason that you still use the $user_id instead of $uid is because of how the block calls the information from the DB. It is calling the $uid and setting $user_id equal to it.

zips updated, no sense in posting the code as it gets messed up as shown in the following reply.
