SMF: avatar and signature not showing

mfarley · June 5th, 2005, 09:49 PM

Did a brief search, didn't find an answer. My avatar and signature shows up in the forums, but not within my photopost gallery. Now, I of course searched all options and turned off showing avatar and sig in the photopost admin options but still no fix.

Any ideas?

Hi..

I think there might have been an update to photopost which fixed this a while back, try looking on photopostdev.com for more nfo, i think there might be a fix for this if you cannot get the latest version of PP

I just downloaded photopost 3 days ago so unless it was a very recent problem I'd imagine this would be fixed by now.

Another problem maybe?

I would suggest that you make sure all files are uploaded if this was an upgrade. This was fixed a few versions back that I am aware and my avatar shows up here as an example

strange...because this was a fresh install--no upgrades whatsoever. I just downloaded photopost for the first time a few days ago, integrated it with SMF, and post counts and everything else adds up properly--just doesn't show the avatar or signature.

Here's the replies in photopost: http://www.thefloodgates.net/gallery...to.php?photo=3

And here's a post in smf:

ah easy we dont claim to show the smf avatar or signature on photopost

We integrate with the smf user login for an integrated login and we pull the smf stylesheet. Advanced features like we have with VB3 is not supported yet in SMF

mfarley · June 6th, 2005, 08:00 PM

darn, really wanted that feature. Any idea as to when it might be done? --We can't all afford vB with photopost.

I'd imagine it would be a pretty simple hack.

Yes its not real hard usually If you send me link to your database and sign in I can see how they store it and give ya some pointer

pm sent =)

Try making changing the function get_profiledata in your smf.php file to this

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

mfarley · June 7th, 2005, 12:52 PM

We're getting there! =)

The avatar shows up as a text now which is one step forward: http://www.thefloodgates.net/gallery...to.php?photo=3

Edited code block above with this alteration

mfarley · June 7th, 2005, 03:21 PM

Strange, changed the line but still displaying it as text. Any other possible ideas? Wonder if it not in the get_profile but in the template that displays it maybe?

Chuck S · June 7th, 2005, 04:17 PM

I have taken the altered line and placed it within the function above. Try redoing the entire function block to ensure this is copied right

I'd say you're my hero but vanity prevents me from admitting anyone but myself is...so instead, I'm going to have a pint of lager in your name! 3 cheers for Chuck!

Serisouly though, thank you for all your help. This goes way beyond 'support' and I wont forget that.

Cheers.

Great! I'll add this to the build so others can benefit from the effort.

Wasabe · June 10th, 2005, 02:47 AM

Okay I read this and how the heck do I get that on my site in LAME Mans terms

Chuck S · June 10th, 2005, 08:56 AM

If your running smf you redownload the build and update our software

Wasabe · June 10th, 2005, 11:31 AM

How do I know if I'm running smf? I have PhotoPost PHP Pro v5.11

I'd really like to have the avatar thing working.

Chuck S · June 10th, 2005, 03:01 PM

This is a forum integration discussion. There are no avatars in an internal install of Photopost as that is a forum thing.
