The error I mentioned before was just one of them. There are others:

The file attached here should solve it.

Hmm, why do I even bother correcting errors when no one bothers testing...

You didn't make it an official release, and I don't have time to fiddle with betas

That said, it seems to be working and no more errors. Thanks dood!

I have 2 questions:

1. It says on the installation: "A Manual edit will be required for ALL themes (other than SMF Default Core Theme) which have a custom Register.template.php
If you don't perform the manual edit, nobody will be able to register using those themes."

I'm using RC2 Curve. So.. what is this edit I'm required to do? Or do I have to figure it out by myself?


2. In the option: "Folders from which to use avatars as verification", what format should I use?

/avatars/dogs ?
avatars/dogs ?
ht*p://mysite.com/avatars/dogs ?


Right now I only have numbers in boxes, no images, but the mod looks awesome. Thanks for posting it.

Your second question is what I'd like an answer to.  I've tried all formats and none of them works.  I keep getting the same images as you, the boxes with the numbers in them.  My folder is avatars/Street Signs.

[Akyhne]

Just Street Signs. However, I don't remember if spaces are supported.

EDIT: spaces in folder names are supported.

[kibtwane]

Akyhne, how should "Street Signs" be entered in the "Folders from which to use avatars as verification" box? What is the correct format?  Should it just be "Street Signs" or "/Street Signs" or is the whole url required?

[Akyhne]

"Street Signs" without quotes.
And it's case sensitive.

[Akyhne]

Updated for RC4. Not really any changes, except RC4 compability.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I get blank colored boxes with numbers in them instead of images. I figured I had the Settings wrong, and the mod could not find the avatar files. So when I went to registration Settings in Administration I saw:



Obviously, it's kind of hard to change the settings. Any idea what is causing this? I'm using 1.1.12

This is what the initial verification page looks like:



Note that there's no text either.

[Akyhne]

Well, if you are running English, then something went wrong during installation. Look in your error log.

Hi Akyhne,

Installed your mod (SMF 2.0 RC4) and all functions well. However, it changes all forum members who have never selected and avatar (no pic) and any new members who sign up to the Alanis morissette Avatar in the musicians sub folder - uninstalling the mod reverts these users back to no pic. Any idea how I can run you mod and still have no pic selected?

Thanks,

Russ

[Akyhne]

I'll take a look at it.

[russ skinner]

Thanks. For the record uninstalling the mod does not revert members back to no pic - I had to edit the dbase.

[Akyhne]

Solved. New version 1.4 available. The problem with Alanis morissette Avatar has been in all older versions, it seems.

[russ skinner]

Many thanks Akyhne.

Great mod by the way, which on the forum I look after has drastically cut bot/spammer registrations. They were becoming a real pain, easily getting past SMF's built in captcha.

[Akyhne]

You are welcome

Hi Akayhne

Testing the mod all I see is red lines and no pictures.

Any ideas?

There were no errors on installation.
