I've been messing 'round with my avatar and I got a random avatar to work.... the only problem is sometimes it displays a broken image display.
 
His avatar only works when his system is online, since it come from his personal server...

Kind of sucks if you're surrfing when he's off-line.

BTW: How did you do that random avatar thing? That's cool!

he probably made a script that selects a picture and renames it every few minutes/visits.
 
Here's the perl code:

Code: [Select]
Code: 
#!/usr/bin/perl$IMAGE_DIRECTORY = "enter the path to your image directory here";my $line = "";my $file1= "";my $x=0;opendir (DIR,"$IMAGE_DIRECTORY");while ($fileName = readdir(DIR)) {        next if (-d $IMAGE_DIRECTORY . $fileName); next if ($fileName !~ /w/); $ls[$x] = $fileName; $x+=1;}closedir(DIR);srand();$file1 = int(rand(@ls));print ("Pragma: no-cachen");if ($ls[$file1] =~ /.gif$/i) { print ("Content-type: image/gifnn");} elsif ($ls[$file1] =~ /.jpg$|.jpeg$/i) { print ("Content-type: image/jpgnn");} else { # exit(0);}open (INPUT, $IMAGE_DIRECTORY . $ls[$file1]);while ($line = ) { # print ($line);}close(INPUT);exit(0);#FILE: random.pl

nb. It only works for gif and jpg files as far as I know.

I finaly finished downloading The Fellowship Of The Ring today off Morpheus...... amazing :lol:
 
hmm... where there is that input box in the above code the line should be:

w h i l e   ( $ l i n e   =   < I N P U T > )   {   #

Without the spaces obviously.
 
Whoa! Lot to copy! I'm assuming you just link to that script, right?

Hmm... I wonder if you can use a flash animation as your avatar... something to test later...

proably a script output. delete file x from folder x, move file y to folder x from folder y, rename file y as file x. hell i could do that in vb if i wanted too, perl seems a bit unnessacary...whatever works.

edit: neat we can put input boxes in to the board posts......
like so:

Yeah, but what are you gonna use it for? It's not like it can DO anything...

Yeah its priety pointless to have them Input Boxes but ya never know you might be able to do something with them! Why else would they be there? Probably just a bug in phpBB though.

PurpleSmurf: Your method sounds a hell of a lot more complicated than the Perl script... what's with the renaming and moving etc??
 
lets say that oyu have  have to delete/move it the folder that is folder Y. then from folder Y where all of the other images are stored you pull out a random image, file Y. File Y is then put into folder X and renamed as file X.
not sure i can explain is anymore maybe i wrote a code snipit for you people and showed you a worinf example.....
 
It just seems a silly concept of having to move and rename files.... or maybe i still dont quite understand what you mean.
 
It's an intended bug in qhimms forums since I had to fix all the HTML posts.
*sigh*
another thing to fix.
 
tell you waht jedi. as son as i get home i'll make a working example for you.

BUT THE INPUT BOXES LOOK SO COOL!!! :)
 
odd that that should work, as HTML is disables and anything else between this < and > this is not visible
