[Accepted] Uploadable Avatars

just a suggestion: i think blank.gif file should be put in images directory, not avatars
some admins out there tend to delete blank.gif accidentally when changing the whole avatar set, and users cant use blank avatar anymore

Though I agree this might be a problem for some admins, changing the directory for just blank.gif is a little laborious. I hope all admins read this and promise to never delete blank.gif again

I notice in the profile description it says that the image must be JPG or GIF. Could you add PNG as well?

Anyway, great work, Compuart! Thanks a million!

Wow - looking great!!

The resize feature is a really nifty feature. I assume when the use selects their own avatar (non uploaded) and it is to big it is uploaded to the server, resized and set as their avatar? If that is the case that is really well thought out!

lol, I've been working on that screen for hours, no days and I didn't even read that description

(but yes, gif, jpg, png and bmp are resized and even more formats are allowed as external image)

yep, that's the case. It'll only work if you have GD module installed and if you are allowed to use the copy function on url's.

Some versions can. For those versions that can't I'm using a free-to-distribute library, which you can download worldwide, but are only allowed to use it in America

that kinda sucks...

well, cant we just convert gifs to pngs, that will solve the problem

That's what it does in the first place. As soon as it sees it's gif it tries to use GD (and on failure the PHP library) to convert the image to png. But it's still not legal in Europe. So, when I was developing this, I must have been temporarily unaware of where I was at that moment

Thanks again Compuart! You rock!

Hi Compuart...

Any idea on how the avatar on the index page can be resized in SMF 2.0 to a fixed size...

Thanks.
