Changing Avatar Size For One Person

[faeriedust]

Is there any way to enlarge only my avatar and not have any others affected? I would like mine to be larger while keeping the size of the others intact.

Not with some coding, I believe.

Try the following instructions.

In Load.php, replace,

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

// If we're always html resizing, assume it's too large.
if ($modSettings['avatar_action_too_large'] == 'option_html_resize' || $modSettings['avatar_action_too_large'] == 'option_js_resize')

With,

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

// If we're always html resizing, assume it's too large.
if (!$user_info['is_admin'] && ($modSettings['avatar_action_too_large'] == 'option_html_resize' || $modSettings['avatar_action_too_large'] == 'option_js_resize'))

Now in Profile.php, replace,

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

function makeAvatarChanges($memID, &$post_errors)
{
global $modSettings, $sourcedir, $db_prefix;

with,

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

function makeAvatarChanges($memID, &$post_errors)
{
global $modSettings, $sourcedir, $db_prefix, $user_info;

Replace,

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

// Should we check dimensions?
elseif (!empty($modSettings['avatar_max_height_external']) || !empty($modSettings['avatar_max_width_external']))

With,

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

// Should we check dimensions?
elseif (!$user_info['is_admin'] && (!empty($modSettings['avatar_max_height_external']) || !empty($modSettings['avatar_max_width_external'])))

And finally replace,

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

// Check whether the image is too large.
elseif ((!empty($modSettings['avatar_max_width_upload']) && $sizes[0] > $modSettings['avatar_max_width_upload']) || (!empty($modSettings['avatar_max_height_upload']) && $sizes[1] > $modSettings['avatar_max_height_upload']))

With,

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

// Check whether the image is too large.
elseif (!$user_info['is_admin'] && ((!empty($modSettings['avatar_max_width_upload']) && $sizes[0] > $modSettings['avatar_max_width_upload']) || (!empty($modSettings['avatar_max_height_upload']) && $sizes[1] > $modSettings['avatar_max_height_upload'])))

Cheap hax.

I will give it a shot and let you know if it works. Thanks for the reply.

.. or simple change the settings for avatar size, upload YOUR avatar and then restore the settings 

[kat]

Now, why didn't I think of that?

[faeriedust]

Thanks feline, but that doesn't do it. If I change the size of mine, everyone's get changed also. If I put it back the way it was, all including mine gets changed. I'm at a loss with this one.

Have you tried my instructions?

You have UPLOAD your avatar? Any other don't work.
I have this done on my server...

[faeriedust]

I've followed Project Evolutions instructions but that didn't work. Every time I try to change the size, it still does it for all avatars not just mine. I even tried some of my own tricks too. No cigar.  I'm totaly at a loss now.

After you finished all the code changes (can you double check you made all the changes), did you upload a new avatar? I think SMF resizes the avatar you uploaded previously then stores it which is why the size wouldnt change.

[faeriedust]

I did the code changes, but since I've never done this before, I keep finding mistakes. Every time I go over it, I find another thing I goofed up on. I'm really not good at this at all. I'll keep trying but won't upload the file until I believe it's right. Don't want to ruin it for everyone.

[ascaland]

If you attach Load.php and/or Profile.php I wont have a problem doing them for ya?

[faeriedust]

These are the files you requested. I so appreciate your help with this.

[ascaland]

Give these a shot.

[faeriedust]

I put the new php's in place and uploaded a new avatar, and you can see when it loads the avatar, it's bigger. But as soon as the topic fully loads, it goes right back to the small size. (sigh) I think this is hopeless.

[faeriedust]

Just thinking....should the sizes in the admin avatars section be changed to any other setting outside of the default? Would that make any difference?

I will play around with the files I attached below to make sure I didnt do anything wrong... Right after I finish a paragraph of my essay. 

Hmm, I replaced my files and they seem to work as intended with default settings on a fresh new install of SMF.

[faeriedust]

I guess I'll have to change back to the default sizes, if I can remember them now, and give that a shot. Thanks.

I just noticed that when I load a topic, the avatar comes in the size that I want it to, but then immediately changes back to the small one. Strange.

[geekartist]

I've been helping faeriedust with this. I'm experiencing the same issue she is.

Seems to me the easiest way to do this would be to add a CSS class to moderator avatars and then just change the stylesheet. I'm not entirely sure where that would be set in SMF though. I was thinking post.template. Doesn't help that I'm great hacking other people's PHP, but I don't tend to write my own to be worth much on that front. :-P

Any updates on this? Do you still need assistance or have you been able to figure this out?
