Rawr, very awesome XD

I already modified the code so that avatars will show up in 'comments' ^_^

<-- ish modifying a bunch of stuff before updating all teh boards.

THANK YOU <3

this very beautiful the new one 5.6 ^^

Oh yeah, Kameloh... be aware that the updater must be run for each board to patch the avatars field in the database -- and then the updater should be removed.  It's not a security problem to leave the updater on the server, but board owners will receive a constant reminder to remove the updater, which is an annoyance.

Oh, I always baleet it don't worry XD

Is there any way I can program the updater to delete the old avatar row? Because it already has a value in it and it gets a bit screwy XD

(I had to delete the old avatar row first then use the updater to create a fresh brand new row)

Rawrr ! Check out the spiffy new profile page XDDD

that it is had to modify in register to add this?
After you have registered, check your e-mail for the link to activate your account.

Once the registration is processed by functions.php, it redirects back to register.php instead of the index page, which may then print any message you like.  I can get a patch to you before 5.5.7 is released, if you like.

Look for the point in the updater where you see this line:

run_q ("ALTER TABLE {$mem}oekaki ADD avatar VARCHAR(128) NOT NULL DEFAULT '' ");

Change it to these two lines:

run_q ("ALTER TABLE {$mem}oekaki CHANGE avatar avatar VARCHAR(128) NOT NULL DEFAULT ''");
run_q ("UPDATE {$mem}oekaki SET avatar='' ");

That will update the avatar field to the correct format and flush anything that's already there.  When using the ALTER TABLE construct, "avatar" is listed twice.  The first reference is what you want to change, the second reference is to what it should be renamed (we keep the same name).  The rest is the format of the field, meaning, "A character field that can have anywhere from 0 and 128 letters, it's can't have a NULL value (used mostly by low-level languages like C), and the default value is blank".

Just make sure the avatar field is there, and the capitalization is correct, otherwise, MySQL will return an error.  If required, use "Avatar avatar" in the second query if you capitalized the word when you made your mod.

flagchk.php isn't gone -- it's just been integrated into globals.php, so you can use the check_flag() function anywhere in any script.  With Wax 5.6, I'm going to switch over to the new $flags[] array, like in Wacintaki, so if you want to see if someone has draw access, all you have to do is:

if ($flags['D']) {

Since I updated practically every file with 5.5.6, now I only have to update globals.php to add new security features.  I'll be porting over a bit of code from Wacintaki.

BTW, in case anyone was wondering, Wacintaki 1.3 is delayed due to a retouch bug that causes orphaned images.  I'll be working on that this weekend.

What really ticks me off is that the Win32 version of PHP has a horrible defect -- files deleted cannot be re-written within that instance of the script.  This is a problem with the UNIX emulation layer in PHP (though I'm sure plenty of people would rather blame Windows, as usual).  This is why OekakiPoteto never worked right on Windows computers, and why I can't simply delete the old files before writing the new ones.  The workaround I used for 1.2.1 isn't robust enough, and I have to re-write the file unlocking code so it will rename a file to a random temp name before deleting it.  That can be tricky, as it may also result in orphaned files, which results in the server eventually running out of space, which is obviously unacceptable.

Perl has this problem, too.  I really, really wish those UNIX fans would fix this issue.  It drives me nuts that I have to write a custom wrapper just to delete a file!

Yes, avatars on comments is working surprisingly well on my oekaki, and will be coming in Wax 5.5.7.  This week has been hell at work, and Wacintaki 1.3 has been giving me a few problems, so I've not done much work on new releases.

You can change the allowed size of avatars in the control panel, in the same section as where you enable avatars.  Allowable sizes are from 10x10 pixels to 100x100 pixels.

Automatic registration means people will have to activate their accounts themselves via a link in their e-mail.  If you're on a free server, it's possible that e-mails are not being sent.

I'll add the Wacintaki hack to "force" registrations to Wax 5.5.7.  That will allow people to use their memberships without activation, or having to wait for your approval.  It's very easy to do, so I may as well.

Note that if someone is already in the pending list, and you change the status of automatic registration, you may still have to approve those people manually.  When you get 5.5.7, make sure you clear out the pending list accordingly.

5.5.7 is now out. 

i've figure out something wrong in functions.php,
if u wanna make easy register ( w/o confirmation mail or approval admin )
follow these step :

if u use w.poteto 5.5.6, then u should overwrite with the new patch 5.5.7 ( using ftp )
after that, look up in /oekaki/functions.php , open edit with dreamweaver of notepad ( i prefer d/weaver )
go to line 392 ...
ops...really dont have much time now
stop here..
( i've fixxed this prob )

i've fix the avatar too..now, each comment will have avatar with it's own user... same like the forum..

waccoon, see mine here :

ermm..
after i've overwrite the new patch, the approval still the same, there's no"force" option,
then i have configure the functions.php by myself

i've copied the codes from line 392 :
    //$result = mysql_query ("INSERT INTO {$OekakiPoteto_MemberPrefix}oekaki SET usrname='{$username}', email='{$email}', usrpass='{$userpass1}', usrflags='P', comment='{$comment} - {$hostname} - {$SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']}', url='{$artURL}', joindate=NOW(), language='{$language}', templatesel='', lastlogin=NOW()");

and then paste to line 395

and it's work. People are approved immediately after that. I don't know what's really happened, but doing fine rite now using the board. I've changed the codes in index.php too to make avatar appear in every person in comments section.
