As many of u will have noticed the release of roster 1.7 has stopped UniUploader from updating siggen Avatars and Signatures. The best i understand it the web browser now must visit the URL of the avatar and signature, this will force Siggen to create the image and save to server. Unfortunately UniUploader cannot visit this URL.

I devised a very crude fix for this, as i just wanted them to update. Instead of the Client (UniUploader or web browser) loading the URL, i have forced siggen to load the url upon the trigger. This will update your profiles only, it won’t refresh the who’s guild list. If a guild member wants his avatar updated, he/she must do it themselves.

This isn’t ideal by any means, as it is placing un-necessary strain on the web server, but until the problem is fixed its usable.

In roster/addons/siggen/trigger.php find:

Code: Select all

// Run this on a character update
if( $mode == 'char' )
{
   if( $SigGenConfig['signature']['trigger'] )
   {
      print 'Saving Sig-[ <img src="'.$roster_conf['roster_dir'].'/addons/siggen/sig.php?etag=0&name='.urlencode(utf8_decode($member_name)).'" width="75" height="16" alt="" /> ]';
   }

   if( $SigGenConfig['avatar']['trigger'] )
   {
      print ' Saving Avatar-[ <img src="'.$roster_conf['roster_dir'].'/addons/siggen/av.php?etag=0&name='.urlencode(utf8_decode($member_name)).'" width="19" height="16" alt="" /> ]';
   }
}


Replace with: (change YOUR URL.com to your domain)

Code: Select all

// Run this on a character update
if( $mode == 'char' )
{
   if( $SigGenConfig['signature']['trigger'] )
   {
      $temp = fopen('YOUR URL.com/roster/addons/siggen/sig.php?etag=0&name='.$member_name, "r");
      print 'Saving Sig-[ <img src="'.$roster_conf['roster_dir'].'/addons/siggen/sig.php?etag=0&name='.urlencode(utf8_decode($member_name)).'" width="75" height="16" alt="" /> ]';
      fclose($temp);
   }

   if( $SigGenConfig['avatar']['trigger'] )
   {
      $temp = fopen('http://www.YOUR URL.com/roster/addons/siggen/av.php?etag=0&name='.$member_name, "r");
      print ' Saving Avatar-[ <img src="'.$roster_conf['roster_dir'].'/addons/siggen/av.php?etag=0&name='.urlencode(utf8_decode($member_name)).'" width="19" height="16" alt="" /> ]';
      fclose($temp);
   }
}


Do not make this edit for the Guild update, or the script will be loading all the images of the guild into it. This is 2 much data. But i dont see a problem with just loading the avatar and signature for the current profile.

Would like to stress once more, this is a temp fix, if you dont care if siggen is updating with UniUploader, just ignore this post

Any response would be appreciated.

this will only work if your host allows fopen()

nice fix, im sure a lot of people who have fopen enabled will appreciate this.

If fopen is disallowed, see the comments on the fopen documentation page for a number of alternatives, such as curl_exec and fsockopen:

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php

I doubt free hosts will support it, but if its a paying provide u will prob have access (i do).

fopen() isnt the only function that will work, if u browse the php manual...

If fopen is disallowed, see the comments on the fopen documentation page for a number of alternatives, such as curl_exec and fsockopen:

us2.php.net/manual/en/....fopen.php

(Thanks Scratch monkey)

... then any method that can load a URL into a file should work.

Appreciation? Yessir!
Thanks a lot!

Hmm, for some reason my character uploading stopped completely. No error anywhere (atleast no visible one). I'm using the latest roster, UU & CharacterProfiler.

Can you put the code for the hosts who can't work in fopen()

Would be nice, Thanks

I would also like to see the non fopen code, many thanks.

I'm implementing some code in SigGen v0.2.1 that will enable the use of UniUploader to generate images
There will be an option in SigGen Config -> Main Settings -> Save Images panel called "UniUploader Fix"

You must have 'allow_url_fopen' enabled on your server

As of right now, I cannot get fsockopen or curl to generate the images, sorry
