O.P. RE: [Project] KS Random Avatar Script
Justposting to show you a sneak peak of how it will look like.
(I don't bother to release the code yet, because I didn't tidy it up enough yet :refuck:).
Note that this is still a template, not a finished PHP.

But well, hope you like it.

Feel free to post any suggestion.

KSMAS v0.01 ALPHA - Avatar Manager - Screenshot

Edit: I forgot to ask how you do it to change the style of the input type=file, it doesn't seem to work in Mozilla.

RE: [Project] KS Random Avatar Script
would it be possible to edit the server so that you could mask it as as a .png or .jpg so that it would work on forums who block *.php files

It's not that a server blocks PHP, it's that the server isn't set-up to run PHP.

.... nooooo...

any server can get an image from another server thats PHP.... but they may just block PHP images as avatars.

Blah... bach_m is right. Some boards do not allow php's because they're not strictly defined as image files (and who knows what you might be doing with them). Some people are scared of evil javascript in images :huh: (well, there are lots of IE-holes, so even that is possible).

After some :google: I have found out that this is possible through .htaccess, which surprised me a lot, but ok...

I could add it to the all-in-one file, but I just don't know if it'll be possible.

Maybe another release for boards not allowing PHPs as images would also be a good solution.

* KeyStorm doubts he's able to manage such big scripts :P


I'm working on the setup file now.

This evening I'll probably release the setup file to see if it installs and detects protections properly on your servers. :)

Put this in the directory

IndexIgnore *
   
    <Limit GET POST >
    order allow,deny
    allow from all
    </Limit>
   
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule nameofjpg.jpg nameofphp.php [T=application/x-httpd-cgi]



And maybe have a configuration screen that writes the htaccess file and replaces nameofjpg.jpg with what they chose

Hm... I'm gonna test it right now (Y)

Thanks a lot, you saved me a lot of time looking for htaccess syntax and methods.

Could you tell me what everything does, btw, to see if I need to change something?

As you see I don't know htaccess-code :grin:



For Testers (anyone may be): ALPHA v0.02 - Setup Only, not the script itself for now!

Well, for now I think I finished the installer.

You don't need to create a special dir for it, the installer does it itself. Just place it where you want to have the folder installed.

What does it do (for if you don't want to read the crappy code):

Step 1: Creates a folder, creates a file, opens it, closes it, deletes it, deletes the folder. If all these could be peformed correctly, your server is ready to install KSMAS.

Step 2: You have to type your password in order to create your own inc.php where the list of avatars is written each time. This could evolve in having several users and only one file. But let's wait until it works :P.

Step 3: Creates and writes in the functional files: KSMAS/index.php and KSMAS/[password.md5].inc.php

Step 4: We've left setup.php and gone to KSMAS/index.php.php?mode=delete which deletes ../setup.php. Maybe this won't work if CHMOD is not enough permissive. But this won't mess up anything: you'll be asked to manually delete the file.

After this step, if nothing happens it is right. This release does not include the manager script (it's not done yet). This build is just to see if it installs well everywhere and that no weird errors appear.

I have tested it on Xampp for Windows v1.4.2 (Apache 2.0.49, PHP 4.3.6).

Enjoy (test) it and feel free to post anything about it. :)

It's an ALPHA for now. It's just the installer to see if it crashes with any config.
However, you obviously need a server with PHP installed and that doesn't block images opened from other sites (unlike tripod).

If you don't know what I'm talking about, sit back and wait til I release the final version while you look for a free server with the capabilities above. (Y)

(AFAIK, Geocities doesn't support PHP :-/)

Ripoff :mipdodgy:

































Nah :gfdrin: nice script KS :)

The differnece with mine is that it's web based on my server, so you don't need to ftp things.  But then on the other hand you have to ask me for an account, and hey, who would trust me with their avatar? (6)
