XF 1.4 Basically

Allysa. · Jan 24, 2015

Hi, when I try to upload an image other than a .jpg image my forums won't allow it...

This is the error I get when I try to upload the .gif image through admincp: http://puu.sh/eW8fj/b767894678.png

This is the gif image I want to upload: http://i.imgur.com/97bcu6s.gif

Basically only image extensions people can upload are a .jpg and i'm not too sure why.

Any ideas?

EDIT: New Issue, basically certain gif images work but if they are 200x400 they don't work at all? Any ideas why or how to fix? Maybe help setting the sizes to avatar images like 200x400? Without it looking really uneven with the forums?

Is that bad?

Allysa. said:
Also this just came into my head - you know how animated gifs work on profile pages? Why doesn't it work when you reply to a thread, like it doesn't stay animated?

I'm not sure about that. But I haven't found any animated images in your site till now.

Yeah, I was using an animated gif because I know a lot of my community had complained about that it doesn't show when posting. Is there any idea why?

Also at the first comment "Is that bad" yeah it is because I want the avatars to be a certain dimensions without it expanding like for example this is a vB forums style: http://www.hffmforum.co.uk/showthread.php?p=3458024#post3458024 scroll down to the user "Mel" that's what I want... I know you'll see the different dimensions because in vB theres an option to set each individual usergroups dimensions.

EDIT: If you view that thread there and see a person named "Eryn" theres an example there for the gif with posting.

You need to enable imagemagick first

Done it's enabled.

Now what shall I do?

TickTackk · Jan 25, 2015

Try reuploading the gif file and see if it works now.

okay that worked..

Now for my last issue, why is the images getting expanded and blurry? Is it possible to do something like vb does where it sets each dimension so it doesn't expand and blurr up?

It wont be blurry and the images will be limited
Find

Code:

.thread_view .messageList .messageUserInfo a.avatar img,
.thread_view .quickReply .messageUserInfo a.avatar img,
.conversation_view .messageList .messageUserInfo a.avatar img,
.conversation_view .quickReply .messageUserInfo a.avatar img
{
    width: 200px;
    height: 300px;
}

replace with

Code:

.thread_view .messageList .messageUserInfo a.avatar img,
.thread_view .quickReply .messageUserInfo a.avatar img,
.conversation_view .messageList .messageUserInfo a.avatar img,
.conversation_view .quickReply .messageUserInfo a.avatar img
{
    max-width: 200px;
}

in template EXTRA.css and replace 200px with the desired avatar size.

Define "limited" like it'll be small? or...

TickTackk · Jan 25, 2015

By limited here I meant, It won't cross the maximum width and will shrink to whatever value you have set above.

Yeah, I noticed that. See basically I'm trying to recreate the thing that vb allows, like it allows you set a number by a number in the admincp > usergroups basically this is making sure they don't exceed a certain image point.

If that makes sense.

xenForo doesn't have that functionality.

Makes perfect sense.

@batpool52! How would I fix this broken avatar image issue http://www.truehabboforum.net/index.php?members/jess.62/

TickTackk · Jan 26, 2015

Some add-on is causing that issue. The avatar size your site is generating now is :
http://www.truehabboforum.net/data/avatars/xl/0/62.jpg?1421720088
and it should be
http://www.truehabboforum.net/data/avatars/xl/0/62.jpg?1421720088

Fixed it it was wandigos add-on for avatars, it changed the image path to that.

@batpool52!

Out of curiosity why isn't this centered here - http://puu.sh/f8ien/67918d3c7d.png

TickTackk · Jan 28, 2015

Looks fine for me.

Sorted that but is there a way we can align it with this http://www.truehabboforum.net/index.php?members/allysa.1/ like align the user + user title + name

TickTackk · Jan 28, 2015

Add this to extra.css

Code:

.primaryUserBlock .username,
.primaryUserBlock .userBlurb,
.primaryUserBlock .userBanners
{
    display: inline-block;
}

thank you,
now theres a new issue and I don't know why this is happening http://puu.sh/f8SvT/3795616f16.png basically its all unaligned now.

EDIT: sorted that but the avatars are small again, how would i bring it back longer as it was
As you can see here, the userbar is unaligned, avatar images are smaller and i'm not sure why: http://puu.sh/f9mBd/aa5a053cf2.png

this is the extra.css code

Code:

.thread_view .messageList .messageUserInfo a.avatar img,
.thread_view .quickReply .messageUserInfo a.avatar img,
.conversation_view .messageList .messageUserInfo a.avatar img,
.conversation_view .quickReply .messageUserInfo a.avatar img
{
    width: 200px;
    height: 300px;
}

.messageUserInfo
{
    width: 218px !important;
}

.message .messageInfo,
#QuickReply
{
    margin-left: 234px !important;
}
.primaryUserBlock .username,
.primaryUserBlock .userBlurb,
.primaryUserBlock .userBanners
{
    display: inline-block;
}

basically, i'm trying to get the avatar sizes back to 200x300, with userbars aligned etc.
