It shouldn't. It checks if the user has data to show. I'll take a look.

Can't reproduce. According to your image, it should appear in the yellow area:

 

When I use it, I see:

 

When I remove the image or remove my group from settings, shows nothing to me.

Are you using the latest version? I can enhance the query to avoid NULL in the image location field but I really can't reproduce. Do you have FTP access to upload a file with this change?

Hey Adriano. I purchased this for a second time and tried to install it on the forum and it say's that it was already installed and can't use. Contacted invision but they told me to contact you. Any ideas? I had messaged you too a couple of days ago about this too. Thanks

I have no messages from you on my inbox:

 

I see you purchased on November, 12 and November, 21.

What do you want from me?

Hmmm that’s strange because it’s in my messages  

 

Like I wrote in my previous post when I tried to install it on the 21st I got an error message stating that it was already installed on that forum but it’s not. I figured it was an Invision issue but they said to contact you.

You can actually install only one “copy” of each resource in your system. 

If it’s not installed and still displaying the message, send a PM so I can take a look. 👍

Feature Request:

Can we have some kind of file-size limiter put in place, that we can change in the settings of the application, please? I'm having an issue where members are using a ridiculous sized (>15MB) PNG for their background image, I feel that they shouldn't be able to do that as a lot of people use mobile with a capped monthly bandwidth.

Cheers Adriano.

I'll take a look in next version.

As mentioned by @Tripp★ before, i would like to remind you about file-size limitier option for the background image. I call it cricital bug as it is being nastily misued on my webpage by users frequently uploading huge >500MB images. Could you limit this feature as soon as possible please?

[Adriano Faria]

Someday. I don’t consider a bug and have other things to do/fix first.

For now, limit the attachments quota of your groups and you’re safe.

[adik]

@Adriano Faria well, you're kinda harsh - our site depends on attachments, its one of the most important features which is now affected with faulty code, which you doesnt consider as a bug.

What should happen so instead of searching workaround you would just fix the problem?

I probably will as I said in my other post. Someday. Not today.

How much space a user group can use is controlled at a user group level. I’m fine with it. This is NOT  a workaround, so a bug to you;  not to me. 

EDIT: No, not being harsh. I’m telling you a way to make it work in a not faulty.

New version pending approval. It adds a new setting to control the  the size of the image to upload, from 1 to 50Mb.

[adik]

@Adriano Faria thank you. We really can't afford to limit our attachments quota as many users have uploaded more than 1gig total in hundreds of files. We were fighting with those exceeding those sizes with one file

FROM NOVEMBER 1ST TO NOVEMBER 30TH.

While testing an upgrade for a client we upgraded this modification from its 1.0.1 (plugin) version to 1.1.3 (application).

 

The 1.0.2 changelog says the data is synced and then the column dropped, but the current 1.1.3 version simply uninstalls the plugin without syncing any data:

Quote

https://invisioncommunity.com/files/file/8653-profile-backgrounds/?changelog=22342

Removed the core_members columns from the database and added a table for the plugin, if updating it will automatically add the new table, sync all the members data to that table then remove the core_members columns

 

Taking a quick look at the Application.php file I see only the code to uninstall the plugin:

	public function installOther()
	{
		try
		{
			$pluginData = \IPS\Db::i()->select( '*', 'core_plugins', array( 'plugin_location=?', "profilebackgrounds" ) )->first();
			try
			{
				$plugin = \IPS\Plugin::load( $pluginData['plugin_id'] );
				$plugin->delete();
			}
			catch ( \Exception $e ){}
		}
		catch( \UnderflowException $e ){}
	}

Ideally the function should instead run a background queue task to sync the data in batches and uninstall the plugin only once the process is complete.

 

Was the sync process only included in the 1.0.2 version of the plugin perhaps?

I have no idea. It should check for columns in core tables and call the queues and the queue will uninstall the plugin when completed, just like any other resources I did.

I made a mistake on this probably. Will take a look and fix.

[Adriano Faria]

There's a note in 1.1.0:

Quote

 

Upgrade from ANY plugin version:

• Simply install this application and it will uninstall the plugin. It WILL NOT keep the images uploaded because the old plugin deletes the uploaded images on its uninstall.

I don't remember the reason. I think it was using the core_Theme extension to upload images. Anyway, 5 sales in more than one year... so I really don't feel motivated to waste much time with this.

[teraßyte]

Oh, that was in the 1.1.0 changelog and I completely missed it. No worries, I'll do something about it myself then. 🙂
