That's cool!

I really love this mod too! :up:

Wild. It indeed does work in IE. But it's not working in Firefox 3.0.8. I've tried on two different machines. Here's what I see with Firefox.

Fantastic. My users are having a lot of fun with it

I see that on your board with FF, too. However, below is FF on my board, with a fresh install. I assume if there was a FF problem I'd have heard by now, so there must be something board specific - we just need to figure out what.

I'm going to dig through my style code and see what I can find. It looks like the default style works fine in FF, so something is screwy with the style. Thanks for checking on it.

I'm glad to help. I'm sorry you're having trouble. Good luck - styles/css can be a pain :(

thanks thats was the problem...

voted for this mod to be mod of the month,.... keep up the good work....

do anyone have more avatars ?

do you mean more images to throw?

Yes, my users too! They just LOVE it!

Feature suggestion for future releases:

It will be fun to have protective items like armor, diving goggle, shield, mask and the likes...and their effect is to give immunity from being egged for the duration of 1-168 hours too. However, other people will have the ability to take these protectors off if they throw a sponge at the protected avatar. So in the end, the one with more points to spend will be the winner :D

I can't find out how to egg someone. The only thing I can do is see who egged me in usercp. Were could I find a place to egg people.

You need to set usergroup permissions. And watching the video link might help some. Video Demonstration Link.

I fixed my problems but I have one question. I don't like were it puts it in my postbit_legacy. Whats the code it puts in.

Check this post :)

As stated in the mod:

A Support Project using the vBulletin Project Tool has been created to support this mod. Please make use of it if you can. Timely support will still be given in this thread, however, use of the project tool is appreciated because:

1. I paid for it :p
2. It makes searching for problems already asked by other users, and possibly solved, much easier than this long thread.
3. It helps organize and manage issues for me, which will become even more useful as I release more mods.

I'll also add that I create tasks for myself, and keep them updated, so you can see live progress on the next version and comment on what I am doing if you so wish.

Love it!

cool idea! the ability to "aim" the item would be fun as well instead of it appearing randomly. nothing like being able to throw a tomato over the eye of someone's avatar! :D

Hahaha, yes that would be cool too. Nothing like being able to throw a baby pacifier into the mouth of someone's avatar :D

To Hambil,
Maybe you would like to add in the Features list: this mod is fully compatible with the Living Avatar mod. I have tested both mods on vb 3.8.2 and this mod functions as it should on the Living Avatar too.

If we can aim the item, it would be great because then we can add clothes, accessories or whatever items on a Living Avatar.

Personally...I think you need to keep this mod simple. What's good for one, may not be good for another.

The more you add to this...the more can go wrong with it. Just an opinion...and I'm entitled...;)

Installed correctly, figured out how to add additional eggs, gee that was difficult, but sitll cannot get it to show any avatars, just a broken link gif.

Here's the link properties if that helps debug the issue

Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagecreatefromgif() in /home/dictator/public_html/eggavatar.php on line 264

You php doesn't have GD support for some reason. Contact your host.

That's a pretty old version of php you must be using because GD is built in now. I'm surprised you aren't having other problems.

Ahhh,

Since I do have the latest version of everything, maybe you aren't checking if users are using imagemagik 6 instead of GD? Which is what I am using?

Could be but I didn't think that mattered (the vbulletin setting, that is), since the GD support is built in. Unless you are removing the GD support and replacing it with ImageMagik?

It's an either or setting in the ACP under image settings....

I'll double check it, but I don't think that changes anything php wise.

Edit: I just changed it on my board and it had no effect on Egg Avatar.

I changed it too, and no joy. I do have vboptimize installed, is that causing issues?

No. It runs fine with vb Optimise. If fact, version 2.5 (the next release) actually has support for vB Optimise to reduce the number of queries and speed things up.

Run a phpinfo and make sure you see something like this:

I've confirmed php version 5.2.5,

I've confirmed that I definetily do not have GD installed, and do have imagemagik installed

Version return code is 1

Version: ImageMagick 6.4.8-9 2009-01-29 Q16 OpenMP http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2009 ImageMagick Studio LLC


since vbulletin support documentation implies that imagemagik is the preferred image handler, can you support it?

Yes, I will add support for ImageMagick in the 2.5 release.

Thanks!

https://www.vbulletin.org/forum/

I'm having this problem as well, have you found out what might be causing this- I sure cant.

I'd be glad to take as look if either of you want to PM me some login details.

Apologies if this has already been answered, I have a similar setup with usergroups and wanted the same feature....here's how I worked around it:

Replace the plug-in code as instructed here:

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showp...&postcount=263

Set your usergroups that you wish to see the eggs to have permission to both throw eggs and view egged avatars.

In your postbit/postbit legacy template, wrap a conditional statement around the $eggavatar_button. Mine is as follows:

So, although other usergroups can theoretically throw eggs, unless their usergroup is listed in the conditional above, the button to do so doesn't appear in their postbit.

This is a quick fix, and the author may incorporate this into their next update of what I believe is mod of the year, never mind the month .

Hope this helps anyone with the same problem.

Hello TK and gratx for this amazing mod :D
By the way, The down.low's problem is happening to me too and I know when happend.

When I activate using credits all items run off the table. If I turn egg credits option off, items come back inside table.

What can I do?
Thanks in advance!

Awesome! A clue! I run with credits, and don't have this problem, but it DOES give me some ideas as what to look at/for. Access to your board would be VERY helpful. If you are willing PM me some admin login details.

You're making my head spin :p

What I will say is the permissions are pretty self explanatory and should work as defined. I will be double and triple checking that they do in the upcoming 2.5 release.

If you want a permissions setup that simply does not exist in the current release, please explain it like I'm an idiot, because I'm confused.

Great mod thanks Hambil :D.

holy crap this is hilarious.. Nice work! Install clicked.

Sorry ! I'll start again :)

On my forum we have a Premium Members usergroup, and a Regular Members usergroup. I (and someone previously in this thread) wanted the permissons set so that Premium Members can throw eggs, and Regular Members can see the eggs but not throw them.

Changing the permissions in the admin cp didn't enable this. Although the permissions were set for Regular Members to view eggs, they couldn't see them unless the permissions were also set for them to throw eggs.

So, I followed your instructions earlier in the thread to change the plug-in code and use the phrase $eggavatar_button in the postbit template. I then wrapped a conditional around this code so that the button was only visible if you were a member of Premium Members.

So, although Regular Members have the permissions to throw eggs, they can't actually see the button to do so. This was the only way I could get it working so that Regular Members can see but not throw eggs.

Hope this makes sense!

Ah. The permissions are broken then. I appreciate you helping out :) I will try to make sure permissions work as advertised in 2.5 :)

hey there hambil

i just would like to ask i get this error

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

and i have installed it just like you said, i use Vbadvance

Hmmm. First, make sure the path to your eggs in egg avatar options is valid. As to why the phrase is missing, that's a mystery to me, but I'll look into it.

Can someone translate that?

Sure...

It means "I have nothing better to do than troll threads".:D

Nice already I could install it without problems, but I have some questions.

Is itpossible as Admin or moderator sees who a gif gives to another user?

And is it( possible, allows him only some groups the one who him to wire drawing?

Let me make sure I understand:
You want admins and/or mods to be able to see a list of who egged who? Not a bad idea, I'll add it to the list.

I don't understand the second sentence. Wire drawing?

I decided to make a 2.3 release before 2.5, because there are some big internal changes. Both support for ImageMagick and vB Optimise required considerable code re-writing. There were also some bugs that needed fixing that had been out there too long.

Forget to mention in update message: I also changed the fade time so the eggs won't fade if the user hasn't logged in to see them yet.

Enjoy :)

Where are the stats supposed to show up? I checked the 'Whats Going On' box and nothing has changed after I enabled the stats. Everything else seems to work though!

Nevermind, forgot to check permissions! Sorry.

I don't suppose we could have a seperate page for this? Maybe have it linked from the 'Quick links'? It'd help us who have tons of forums and an already long page to scroll.

A separate page would've been better for this new feature...instead of including it in the What's Going On stats...

On the same note...maybe talk to Cyb and see if he can't implement this into his stats mod.

Remove some of the stuff that is less important then Egg Avatar. :p

hambil, you're a wild man!

I looked into doing that myself, but sadly his code for that mod is not written to be extended :(

Can I get a screen of what the stats look like? Or a link to where I can see it. That's probably the only reason i will upgrade.

Was a thought...

Sure.

If you have vB Optimise it saves alot of queries, if you don't you should consider getting it anyway :p IMHO that's the biggest reason to upgrade.

Great, thanks. Where does it go on the forum home? At the bottom? Will it be under cybs mod if I have it installed?

It goes under stats at the bottom. I don't know where cyb's mod goes, but if it's also under stats you could probably switch them around by changing the plugin execution order for forumhome_complete.

I explain better, till now the option of the panel of control to see whom I they throw is generalized,
Is it possible to activate her for user groups?

Sorry my bad inglish

I have a member who has cleaned their avatar but it won't let us throw anything on it. The message pops up saying that their avatar needs to be cleaned before we can throw anything else.

I am using this with vBoptimise.

Just tested something out...I had to flush the cache to be able to egg this person again. Must be a problem with vBOptimise.

I think you mean, only allow certain usergroups to see who egged them? Yeah, that's an easy permission to add. I'll put that in for the next release.

Let me check it.

Just tried it with both file cache and eAccelerator and it worked fine.

Check and make sure nothing is being stored in the database (vB Optimise has a option in the admincp menu that will show you what isn't set optimally - make sure everything has green checkmarks).

It should work regardless, but, there are a lot of possible combinations so while I try to pin it down see if that helps.

Ok, I can clean an avatar myself and then re-egg it but luckily I had the login to user account installed to test. I logged into a members account and cleaned their avatar (as them) and went back to my account and tried to egg them and got the error.

So basically if they clean the avatar I still cannot egg them after I've exceeded my limit originally.

Oooh, interesting. That should be easy to fix. Let me go look, and thanks!

I have the same mod installed. I egged a user 3 times and got an error message saying I had exceeded my limit on the 4th try. I logged in as that user, cleaned their avatar, logged back in as me, and tossed another egg at them with no issue.

Hmmmm.

Let me PM some login details for ya and you can test with me.

That would be excellent - thanks.

Hi Hambil,

After upgrading to the new version your hacks makes all my user's hacks disappear, lol. Or they don't load. After disabling your hack they all come on. They're replaced with the link saying [username avatar] and it links to their respective profiles.

I'm running down an issue with nascartr right now, but as soon as I'm done I'll take a look at what's going on with yours.

Okay, got that one fixed - pm me and I'll see what I can figure out on your end.

Fixed a bug in the vB Optimise integration. No need to upgrade unless you are using vB Optimise.

Upgraded :) thanksss .

Is there an option to turn the stats off? I want to upgrade, but not a big fan of having them on my forumhome.

upgraded but not seeing stats on forumhome

you need to enable stats in your usergroup permissions for each usergroup

that did it, thanks. Wow, pretty big, lol!

There will be more stats, and more options for how to view them, in 2.5. So those who don't like them at the bottom of forum home should be happy :)

it's fine....Me likey! Cheers! hambil

Will we still be able to set the egg fade to delay until a logged out user logs in and is able to see that they were egged in 2.5? I know that was a rumored feature a week or so ago.

That's already implemented in 2.3. It's just not a setting - but simply the way it works.

Oh ok! Thanks!

Is it possible in next version to chose in stats to show picture or only names (Most Popular Eggs)?
If you do not inderstand me what I have try to say...some pictures (eggs) are a little too big, and because of that, stats become very big.

It will be nice to chose on stats to show picture or just name of picture (Most Popular Eggs)

Stupid question hambil, how does a user get rid of anything thrown at their avatar, lol?

I can add that.

Clean it with a towel or a sponge.

I did do that and it says the avatar is already cleaned.

I was doing it for another user btw?

Make sure you have 2.3.1 installed, not 2.3.0.

As stated in the update list: Fixed bug in vB Optimise integration.

That bug specifically has to do with cleaning, egging avatars.

is it possible to make this use money from other mods such as vbplaza?

Good work, Hambil ;) installed and voted for MOTM

Yes. Just change the field names in the options to the ones vbplaza uses.

Now I have another error. Any clues on how to fix this.

The paint icons don't want to come off the avatars... "halp!"
