Hi,

When I execute add new member in the admin menu the selectionbox for an avatar image is not visible. Instead I get an error

Runtimefout Microsoft VBScript (0x800A01F4)
Variabele is niet gedefinieerd: 'strImageTypes'
/asp/forum/admin/functions/functions_filters.asp, line 205

what is wrong??

Could be a corrupted file, try reuploading the register.asp file and all the files in the functions folder again.

Hi, thank you for replying,

I have reuploaded the files several times. When I take a look at the code in "add_member.asp" the complete sellect-box code is missing, even in the file I dowloaded this morning. That is why I dont get de sellection box when running the add_member.asp. Maybe thats were the trouble starts.

Have you modified the file?

If so this is where the problem lies as there is no option to add an avatar when adding a new member from the admin area.

Hi,

I am sorry to dissagree with your solution. By disabeling the image-check you do not solve the problem but make invissible. In your former versions you could add avatars in the add member item from the admin menu by means of a sellection-box or an inputbox. The sellectionbox code is missing in 7.7a. Your help text wich accompanies the item says :

" This is the small icon shown next to your posts. Either select one from the list or type the path in to your own Avatar (must be 64 x 64 pixels)" .

I did not modify your code in anny way. The file is as it is in your distribution zip-file. If i am wrong please inform me how to add avatars in version 7.7a

Thank you for your quick reply.

There is no selection drop down menu in the admin menu to add a new member.

The reason for this is that it wouldn't work as the path to the avatar would be incorrect due to the admin section being a self sufficient area running in it's own folder, so has been removed on purpose.

The fix I gave will sortout the problem as the image check is only to check the extension is a valid image format to prevent hackers from uploading exe files etc. As only the admin can enter this section then this is not needed so you can cut out the image extension check as the admin shouldn't be stupid enough to try and hack their own forum.

I shall update the text next to the avatar item to remove the part about the selection box.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer, your philosophy is clear to me. This leaves one question to be answered. Where can I add a avatar? In the file "register.asp" it is not possible. I would advise that similar to registering to your forum, make an option in this file.

Sorry

Disregard my previous message. I figured it out. When you activate avatars it works fine. By the way, I want to complement you with your fabulous work.

Bye.
