Ok will try this out and let you know. Thank you.

Again, do I need to do anything through my site hosting FTP Client, or all through Xenforo platform?

 

[ragtek]

You need to upload all the necessary files (hosting ftp client, or normal ftp client)

 

[clawsonr]

What are the necessary files?
Upload and extract the framework and sidebar into ftp client
Upload framework and sidebar in xenforo platform
Good to go?

 

[clawsonr]

Uploaded and extracted Framework then Side bar to FTP Client.
Uploaded framework in Xenforo, then when I tried to upload Sidebar I get this
Error


The files associated with this add-on could not be found. Please upload them and try again.

Were you able to install at least 1 xenforo add-on? it seems that you have also problems with several other add-ons => http://xenforo.com/community/threads/online-status-indicator-within-threads.8813/page-8#post-233570

If you want, you can send me your ftp data, so i can check what you're making wrong

Thank you for this great Addon-on ragtek!

The first time i got for myself a "no avatar" . This was because I used "gravatar" instead "avatar". I changed it to an avatar and now all works perfect!

Hm?
Does this mean that thies doesn't work with gravatas?

I don't know but on my site it looks like this. With "Avatar" I have an Image, with "Gravatar" my Avatar in the sidebar looks like I'm a guest.

I've found the problem(it's in my add-on helper framework => getLatestPosts method)

Will be fixed in the next fw release

 

[TazDevilLooney]

That's grate Ragtek. Would there be a quick fix available that i could implement for the moment.

 

[ragtek]

try this:
open Ragtek_FW_Latest (library/Ragtek/FW/Latest.php

search for

  SELECT thread.*,
                post.*,
                user.avatar_date
        FROM xf_post AS post

and replace with

  SELECT thread.*,
              post.*,
              user.avatar_date,
              user.gravatar
        FROM xf_post AS post

 

[TazDevilLooney]

Thanks so much Ragtek, I've added the code and will post back the results.

 

[TazDevilLooney]

Works a treat, thanks

 

[TazDevilLooney]

One more thing, the latest posts can't seem to tell Male from Female as a ? mark appears for that too.
Would be grate if you could work this into your next verison.
