Re: Code

You mean the support forums?
We HAVE been there. And this problem is discussed.
Everyone says they can fix it, but none of the suggested fixes works.
I think we just haven't stumbled across the correct fix yet.
But we will. I'm sure.

PHPBB boasts that it is one of the easiest to use pieces of software.
Maybe for users it is, but for anyone trying to make it work, it's a
nightmare unless you are like you folks and know PHP code backwards &
forwards.

Well, mostly we're trying to fix bugs that we stumble across.
So with that in mind, let me present one.
We are running a portal on our site.
On that portal we're supposed to be able to see an avatar.
A number of other people have commented in support forums that the error
lies with in a certain file.
We have looked at this file and even attempted to institute the suggested
fixes. But none of them work.
Now I AM confident the error is in the file suggested. But I am dubious
of the suggested fixes.
Anyone want to look at the code and suggest a solution?
Here is the section of code that we believe to be in error.
if ($row['user_avatar'] && $user->optionget('viewavatars'))
{
$avatar_img = '';
switch ($row['user_avatar_type'])
{
case AVATAR_UPLOAD:
$avatar_img = $config['avatar_path'] . '/';
break;

case AVATAR_GALLERY:
$avatar_img = $config['avatar_gallery_path'] . '/';
break;
}
$avatar_img .= $row['user_avatar'];
$avatar_img = '<img src="' . $avatar_img . '" width="' .
$row['user_avatar_width'] . '" height="' . $row['user_avatar_height'] .
'" alt="' . $username . '" title="' . $username . '" />';
$user_colour = ($row['user_colour']) ? ' style="color:#' .
$row['user_colour'] .'"' : ''; }
Here is the suggested fix for this problem. It doesn't work, we tried
it.
if ($row['user_avatar'] && $user->optionget('viewavatars'))
{
$avatar_img = '';
/*
switch ($row['user_avatar_type'])
{
case AVATAR_UPLOAD:
$avatar_img = $config['avatar_path'] . '/';
break;

case AVATAR_GALLERY:
$avatar_img = $config['avatar_gallery_path'] . '/';
break;
}
*/
$avatar_img .= $row['user_avatar'];
$avatar_img = '<img src="./download.php?avatar=' . $avatar_img . '"
width="' . $row['user_avatar_width'] . '" height="' .
$row['user_avatar_height'] . '" alt="' . $username . '" title="' .
$username . '" />';
$user_colour = ($row['user_colour']) ? ' style="color:#' .
$row['user_colour'] .'"' : ''; }

Jamie,

This is PHPBB, right?

I would suggest you ask this on the PHPBB user forums. Had you done so,
you would have had an answer by now.

The people there are familiar with the code, and should be able to tell
you almost immediately why it isn't working.
