lol . did you throw a sponge at it?

I've tried both the sponge and the towel. I tested it by chucking an egg and cleaning it right off. When I try to clean it with just the paint on it won't come off. She could be playing a joke on me and uploaded her avatar with the paint on it, but she seems to have eaten her bowl of ***** flakes today. Heh...

lol! hambil will figure it out.

Been noticing not just paint splatter, but certain member avatar's stay stuck with whatever has been thrown on them. It won't clean off either. I suspect it should go away if I uninstalled the mod, but I rather like it... any help? :D

Are you using cache? If so what kind? What image system (GD or ImageMagick) are you using? How are you avatars stored? Are you noticing this on all types, or only ones that are external links, or stored in the database, or animated, etc...?

No cache system installed right now. Using GD. Avatars are stored in the database. The database is stored in another server though. No, not on all types of avatars. None of the avatars are using external links except maybe when first uploaded. No problems specifically with animated avatars either other than the items stops the animation until it's cleaned.

Fascinating. The information helps. Let me think on it a bit. I may need to poke around your board if that's okay.

I'm going to post another request for user options. I know you said to just make another usergroup but the easier alternative as a whole would be to have options in the members User Cp. Basically an On/Off option where they could either use it and get egged or not use it and not get egged. I am getting some complaints about it and with multiple usergroups already it just seems easier to have an on/off option for the member to choose.

I personally feel like it defeats the purpose. It would be like letting a user decide you can't give them reputation.

Actually, I don't think it will solve your problem either. Users who don't want to be egged will turn it off and be happy, but users trying to egg them will get an error saying "This user can't be egged" and be mad.

I think perhaps the best solution is to provide a 4th item type. Good, Bad, Clean, and Protect. So a user could throw say a plastic sheet at their own avatar that would project them from the next x number of eggs thrown (cost depending on how many eggs it protects from).

Ah, I don't use it for that anyway...it's just for fun to 90% of my members. Only about 10% don't like it.

That's a pretty good idea actually. How would I go about doing that or could you code it to do that and possibly without the use of credits, just have the option of how many to protect from when adding the item.

Hmmm... the avatars are clean now. Maybe my browser cache was all whacked out? Anyway, yeah I'm experiencing an issue like nascartr with a few people hating the mod while the majority like it. I think I'll turn it on only for special occasions and holidays. The first being kinda obvious, Easter hehe, and then get creative with the other holidays like fireworks for the 4th, eggs again for Halloween, and so forth. Here is a great free icon site where you can get stuff to throw.

http://www.iconarchive.com

The 32x32 sized ones fit best.

So I'll spare you for now hambil. I really doubt you'd want to visit my site anyway. Thank you for this eggxellent mod. Sorry, couldn't resist. :D

good stuff works :)

installing the update 2.3.1 has deleted all the avatars. none is showing now:(

same thing is happening to me today. Cannot clean av's, says already cleaned. Had to turn the mod off.

wow, I tried reinstalling at that happened to me as well.

just got about 10 of these before I turned it off

eggavatar WHERE UNIX_TIMESTAMP( ) <= (dateline + 3600) AND cleaned = 0 AND userid = Resource id #35

Are you trying to clean avs of uses that have not logged in to see their eggings yet?

Sounds like all the files didn't get updated properly. Make sure you upload all the files and overwrite the existing files. Either that, or you've got a conflict with another mod. It's a strange error.

and it just started this AM. It was fine until this morning.

Just a guess...but maybe an issue/conflict with vb Optimise?

Don't have that one installed. Last night people were using this Mod heavily, first time. This AM, I couldn't clean the eggs off avatars, said it was already cleaned.

I am looking into it.

thanks hambil

my members say

sometimes it says your avatar is clean when its not

is that a bug, or something. just thought i would let you know. great mod though otherwise. but my members get annoyed with that sometimes.

that's what happened to me today. I couldn't clean the av's.

I believe it to be a bug of sorts, I'm trying to decide how to deal with it. The issue is that I modified it so users have to see the eggs on their avatar before they go away. You are trying to clean avatars that haven't been viewed by the owner yet.

Either way, the error message should be clearer, if nothing else. I will fix it, I just need to think it through.

I know you will. What;s interesting is it was working perfectly last night . Nothing changed other than it was being used more.

Being used more means it was being used on avatars of people who haven't logged into see the results yet probably. Hence, bring the bug to light.

that's true. My AV was hit with 4 eggs sometime last night. When I awoke, I tried to clean it and could not.

Installed last night on my test forums

When loged in generic avatars are not displayed, custom ones are ok
When I log out they are there (generic ones)

Also sometimes I cant throw towel and clear avatar, but now I cant produce same error again.... it looks ok !?

@hambil
I can see that you are very bussy with this hack, hope you will have time to point me for this issue that I got...
Thanks for hack
Cheers

I think it's the same issue a number of people are having. I hope to have it figured out and a fix up later today.

Oh thanks
Didnt read all previous posts...

Thanks

Warning: getimagesize(): Read error! in [path]/admincp/eggadmin.php on line 437


This appears in the admincp with the latest version

Edit: Holy crap, all my avatars are gone!

Getting some strange display errors, that users are only saying is happening from Firefox. It's not happening in IE, so i'm wondering if this is a cross browser display issue.

Attachment 97469

The box containing the stuff to throw and all that is appearing in a seperate box below the proper table, rather than actually in the intended table. As said it's only happening in Firefox.

This is using the default template, no custom changes have been made to the addon by me.

I believe it was working fine in the last version, before this latest update.

Just installed this on my test forums, looks pretty good, will install it on my main forums over the weekend..

This doesn't seem to auto parse on my memberinfo template. Most like because it's highly customized.

Can I get the exact URL change so I can manually update it?

To all having issues:

Make sure you are using 2.3.1. Make sure you have upload and overwritten all the files. Make sure you have reverted any of the [tk] Egg Avatar templates you've changed before you upload the xml (with overwrite).

Make sure your image path is correct. Make sure you don't have optimization turned on unless you are using vB Optimise.

It's been a day and a half and I cannot reproduce any of the above problems on either of my two boards, so I'm going to need some help, and some login info.

Sorry should have been more specific. The avatar image is still the normal one not the one that includes the eggs etc.. The post you referred me to seems to be about the placement of the link image. I tried anyways no change.

This is done in the postbit_display_complete hook by replacing the variable $post['avatarurl'].

Same section of code as the button.

I would just like to add a suggestion for a future release. The ability to have this fun mod be able to be turned on/off in a particular forum(s) section. Like say where you setup the individual forum properties you could add a radio option for on/off functionality.

This way we could have the egging ability in let's say "The Silly Forum" and some of the more "stiff" members who may not appreciate the mod wouldn't be visiting that section of your board anyway. Thus having a pacifying effect with them. Think aboot it, eh? :)

Everytime I update this, I have issues with my avatars not viewing. I uninstall it and reinstall it and have to go back through the many usergroups that I have and edit all of the settings.

Right now, my avatars are not viewing at all. I dont know why. I love this hack and so do my members. I am just frustrated after every update.

When you update, all you do is overwrite the new files through ftp right ?? Then import the new one correct ??

I just removed all the files that were uploaded as well as uninstalled the hack. I re-installed the files and uploaded the product. I went to the usergroups and edited all of the settings. I have also rebuilt all the custom avatars.

I still can not view my avatars. Any help is greatly appreciated.

There is never a reason to uninstall the mod unless I specifically say you need to for some reason. Just overwrite. Then your permissions aren't lost.

As for the avatars going away, I've figured that out and will have a fix up in a few minutes. Thank you goxy63 for the use of your test board to reproduce the issue.

mine says "could not find phrase egg avatar invalid path" how do i fix this?

Fix uploaded. No need to reimport, just overwrite files.

Change your path in the admincp eggavatar options for where eggs are stored to a valid path.

All the files? Mine still says Could not find phrase 'eggavatar_invalid_path'.

off topic hambil, where did you get your "add-ons" hack that you have installed in your admincp?

this one's brilliant, is there options for only using in certain forums?

ok let me try that thank you..

That's not working.. not sure what I must be doing wrong..

What are you trying to do when you get this error?

oh cool.. i think I got it working! thanks!

You mean the menu structure? I wrote it.

[tk] Super Menu: Organize and customize your AdminCP menus

*gulp* i logged out to check something and now i get this error:

I had just enabled the "whats going on" part of the hack and then got that..I disabled it and the forum is available again.

That's... odd

yes, thanks man :up:

So far everything else is working.. just that glitch if i enable "whats going on?"

oh.. one other thing.. the troll avatar does not work. Says invalid file.

troll avatar?

In the folder with the egg images there was an avatar.. it said troll kingdom.. was that not supposed to be uploaded there?

sometimes i get a security token error :confused:

No, it wasn't :)

Only been on my forums for bout half an hour but my users are loving this, just in time for easter too, many thanks hambil :up:

Voted in MOTM :)

Edit: Have $10 for your troubles, many thanks :up:

Anyone got a coffee image please? :D

so far so good with 2.32...( holds collective breath)

ahh OK thank you. :)

hambil: Any ideas yet on the best way to deal with the UserCP link location? It still displays UNDER the blog header when blog is installed correct?

I'd still like that workaround when you get a chance. Thanks!

One I've downloaded for free off www.iconarchive.com:

Installed and working great! Thanks hambil :up:

Still not displaying avatars for me. Can you make an older version available so I can at least revert to a working version. Thanks

I'm still using 2.0.4 and it works great for me

The code is in the hook userncp_nav_complete

There are no other template hooks. So, you'll have to store the data in a variable and place the variable where you want in the template.

I've put up the versions that generally seemed to be considered the most stable. If you wish one that isn't listed PM me, as the attachment limit is 10.

Thanks!

:up: thanks

I still need help with this problem, can you still help me hambil?

Same problem after upgrading to 2.3.2.
Was OK when I was using 2.2.1
No customized egg avatar template.

I'll take another pass at that issue. *sigh* I'm growing to hate scrolling tables lol

I'm having a small issue that I never noticed before...

In the Egg Permissions a usergroup has it's setting set for: Can view egged avatars Yes...

Yet this usergroup will not display :confused:

It works when I set: Can egg other avatars to yes, but I don't want some usergroups to egg others

Thanks

I gave up on getting on the profile page. I'd like to see it across the entire forums not just postbit.

Just installed for the first time.

Had a problem with animated avatars = got the square block.
When I copied and pasted the URL for the image and error was produced.

convert: -layer was unrecognized.

I edited the class_eggavatar_image.php file - line 210 and removed

-layer Optimize

Therefore leaving an empty ' ' - this work nows.

It should be layers with an 's'. Odd that it works fine on mine ImageMagick. Try changing it to layers anyway and let me know.

I hope you can figure it out because I sure can't, does it display correctly for you when you visit the site? I've even switched themes with no luck.

Different problem - your problem is a display bug in the drop down, which I'm still struggling with. The post you quoted was dealing with an issue specifically with ImageMagick.

Installed an running on 3.7. Just some template issues probably due to my customizations. LOL

my first download was 1.2.3and everything was perfect- when I updated to 2.2.2 is when the problem hit.

Having the same issue, in Firefox 3.0.5. Our entire forum is built around FF so would really appreciate a fix too :confused:

The latest version of Firefox is 3.0.8...try upgrading your browser.

LOL!!! I'm now gettin, when tryin to clean one, when clearly its not.

Just upgraded to 2.3.2

Another attempt (probably my last for a while) at fixing the popup issue. Hope it works for those having trouble.

Thanks hambil upgraded and no problems at all :up:

I'm having this issue too. Also I have it set to one hour to expire and 6 hours later they are still there.

I have the latest version of firefox and I'm getting the same issue. Only in firefox. Template doesnt break in IE.

They won't expire until the user logs in and sees them.

I am logged in. ITs my avatar. LOL been logged in on and off all day and they are still there. Also getting the "This avatar is already clean." notice when I try and clean it. Its dirty but says its clean. Same eggs from early today.

Other users are having issues with cleaning them too, I try and it gives me the same thing it gives them. BUT if I throw something fresh at them and then throw a towel the avatar gets cleaned. weird.

Also I noticed if you throw an egg and then quick reply you cant throw another egg until you refresh the page.

Thanks a Whole lot, 2.3.3 fixed the pop-up issue for firefox 3.0.8. thanks for a great hack and for taking the time to make it all happen.

Okay... I just upgraded to 2.3.3 (just noticed from the pp that there was one).

The FF issue is almost fixed LOL Just the sponge and towel are outside the box with transparent background.

I was able to clean my avatar too. Not sure about the fading yet.

I can also egg, quick reply and egg without refreshing page :)

So, so far... just the pop up still being a little off on the cleaning options! :)
