someone asked me to look into something weird and was suprised as well...
how can this url address be correct if you wanna delete an unused avatar?

http://www.website.com/modules/Forums/admin/modules.php?name=Forums&file=&mode=delete&target=justsomeavatar.jpg

nobody probably noticed cause when do you delete unused avatars?
I tried it on my site and shows exactly the same...
(used forums....newest)

evaders...?...chat...?

Bingo. There is something wrong with the admin_avatar-php. I´ve got a 404 page in version 2.20 after I deleted one user avatar.
The funny thing I repaired this function some weeks ago in version 2.0.17

HW have you already tried the 2.0.19 file ?

well i tried to manipulate the url but that doesnt work either...

I m on the way to the swimming pool. Maybe evaders knows in which of the forums versions this ever worked proper.

That s what I use in version 2.0.17. Try it !

modules/Forums/admin/admin_avatar.php

Code:




$delete_html = append_sid("$PHP_SELF?mode=delete&target=$file");

replaced with:

Code:




$delete_html = append_sid("./admin_avatar.php?mode=delete&amp;target=$file");

edit: I just tried this with version 2.0.20 in RavenNuke solved my avatar error.

Can you confirm that this also works in version 2.0.21 Hitwalker ?

I add this into the bug tracker.

hell no ....im a bit teasing here but this error shouldnt even be in the newest bbtonuke as susann had the fix it long ago from coldcut.
these things should be said ..its easy to loose faith in releases...
as far as i can remember this is actualy the first time i do notice some major failures in a bbtonuke release...

I am teasing a bit too. But always remember, my friend, that "to err is human". Wink

oh but i know that,but it would probable be a wish from so many people if some development groups would work together...

I did write a nice lengthy post about everyone wanting the latest stuff yesterday - provided they didn't have to spend any time actually helping or contributing some small amount of time to 'the effort' by testing but decided against it. Smile

lol...meaning ?

Posted: Fri Jul 21, 2006 4:10 pm

Meaning, I wrote a lengthy post then found I had gone completely off-topic and the post really belonged in the 'Rants' forum. Wink

oh i see....well were close to the off topic here.. killing me
