XF 1.5 Accidentally Deleted the avatarScaler template

[Becky Robertson]

Hello,
I accidentally uninstalled the avatarScaler template by hitting the Revert button. How would I go about getting it back?

You can't delete templates (other than from the master style, which is only available in debug mode), so all that has happened is you have removed any edits made to it.

You should be able to view the template history and recover the previous version.

Thanks for the quick reply. I am extremely new to this... as if you can't tell...
I'm glad the template isn't gone, but I cannot find it when I search templates, and now avatars aren't appearing on the member profile page.
How, exactly would I go about finding the template history and recovering it?

 

[Paul B]

'avatarScaler' isn't actually a template - it's a property within a template.

You can use the template search function to identify which ones by entering 'avatarScaler' in the 'Template Contains' field, like so:



The template history feature is explained here: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/template-merging-and-history.48846/

Thank you, that was actually helpful, it assisted me in finding the name of the template that is gone.

The missing template is called BRTL_avatarScaler and is called in the member_view template.

<xen:comment>
<div class="avatarScaler">
<xen:if is="{$visitor.user_id} == {$user.user_id}">
<a class="Av{$user.user_id}l OverlayTrigger" href="{xen:link account/avatar}">
<img src="{xen:helper avatar, $user, l, '', true}" alt="{$user.username}" style="{xen:helper avatarCropCss, $user}" itemprop="photo" />
</a>
<xen:else />
<span class="Av{$user.user_id}l">
<img src="{xen:helper avatar, $user, l, '', true}" alt="{$user.username}" style="{xen:helper avatarCropCss, $user}" itemprop="photo" />
</span>
</xen:if>
</div>
</xen:comment>
<xen:include template="BRTL_avatarScaler" />

But after trying all of your suggestions I still can't locate the BRTL_avatarScaler template.

That template is from a customisation.

If it was linked with an add-on, it wouldn't be possible to delete it as it would exist in the master style.

If it was manually created in the style, it would have been possible to delete it and it will now be gone.
You will have to contact the author of the customisation for further assistance - we wouldn't know what the template contained.

 

[Becky Robertson]

Hmmm....
So would you happen to know how I can get the member avatar back on the member_view page?

 

[Paul B]

The avatar appears by default - I don't know what that customisation does or how it has changed the default functionality/view.

 

[Becky Robertson]

Again, thank you. It seems that it's not the missing file, rather I only noticed once the file was missing. It's actually the template I'm using. When I revert to the default style, the avatar is present. How annoying!

 

[Paul B]

Reinstalling the style should do it.

If the style is from the author I think it's from, you should be aware though that developer was banned from this site and all resources removed, due to various concerns: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/resource-removal.92263/

I'm using the ******* Tellurium theme. I hope that's not the one!

 

[Becky Robertson]

Well, shoot, I believe it is!
Now I gotta find a new theme and try not to cry over the money down the drain.

Why not just use the default theme for now and customise it. Then you've only got yourself to blame, not *******

My one and only reason for using this particular theme was the way the forums are displayed, with the lovely large images for each forum. It matched my website enough to make it relatively easy to add the customization to make the site and the forum look seamless. Now I'm wondering how I'm going to recreate that look.

That might not be too difficult, do you have a link to it or screenshot.

Ok, well not quite so straightforward, ie beyond me but someone may be able to give some pointers.

 

[Becky Robertson]

I've already deleted the theme and am starting over. We'll see what I can come up with.
