This script, for those that don't know it, is a server-side solution to the faulty display of 24-bit alpha transparencies in MSIE...

For more info please read up on http://www.koivi.com/ie-png-transparency/ created by the d00d that wrote the script - all the props go to him!

Created in response to my need to bloody well get it right after so many months, as well as index.php?t=61091 and index.php?t=66846...

OK - now to get this integrated to your vB so that any PNG24 images with transparency will display without that ugly grey backdrop in MSIE, please do the following:

In includes/functions.php:

Find:
PHP Code:
    // parse PHP include ##################
    
if (!is_demo_mode())
    {
        eval(
fetch_template('phpinclude_end', -10));
    } 
Add After:
PHP Code:
    $output replacePngTags($output); 
Find:
PHP Code:
// ###################### Start build datastore #######################
function build_datastore($title ''$data '')
{
    global 
$DB_site;

    if (
$title != '')
    {
        
$DB_site->query("
            REPLACE INTO " 
TABLE_PREFIX "datastore
                (title, data)
            VALUES
                ('" 
addslashes(trim($title)) . "', '" addslashes(trim($data)) . "')
        "
);
    }

In this last bit of code, please edit the line
PHP Code:
function replacePngTags($x,$img_path='[color=red]/forums/images/[/color]',$sizeMeth='scale'
so that the $img_path variable points to your forumroot directory from your ['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. This is relying on your having uploaded the attached spacer.png to your forumroot/images/ folder.

OK - now the only reason this will not work (except if you neglect to upload this excellent functions.php file) is if your calls to the PNG file of your choice does not have a full definition ... When I say work - your forum will still work no probs, it's just the script will pass over each PNG tag like the Angel of Death over a blood-stained door if you don't fit the bill

Will work:

<img src="$vboptions[bburl]/images/misc/someimage.png" width="10" height="10" />

Will not work:

<img src="$vboptions[bburl]/images/misc/someimage.png" />

Will work:

<img src="clear.gif" style="background-image:url($vboptions[bburl]/images/misc/someimage.png);height:10px;width:10px" />

Will not work:

<img src="clear.gif" style="background-image:url($vboptions[bburl]/images/misc/someimage.png)" />

Will work:

<body style="background-image:url($vboptions[bburl]/images/misc/someimage.png)">

Read over his page if you want more info as I said Enjoy y'all ( and please remember to test this in IE - it will only make a difference if you use IE )

I've also attached for your own testing, the same image used in the test on the original author's site...

Have fun kiddies May the PNG24 be with you

LOL - well that attachment of the spacer.png doesn't work ;D you need to be able to see the 1x1 attachment to click on it hehe... feel free to grab it from http://www.mobileforces.org/forums/images/spacer.png

EDIT 26-08-2004: This links to

Spoiler (click to open)


OK - a solution to this is a separate hack:

In includes/functions_showthread.php:

Find:
PHP Code:
        if (empty($avatarurl) OR ($bbuserinfo['userid'] > AND !($bbuserinfo['showavatars'])))
        {
            
$show['avatar'] = false;
        }
        else
        {
            
$show['avatar'] = true;
        } 
Add below:
PHP Code:
        if($avatarurl)
        {
            
$avatarbits getimagesize($avatarurl);
            
$avatarimgsrc $avatarbits[3];
        } 
In postbit / postbit_legacy:

Find:
Code:
<img src="$avatarurl"
Add after:
Code:
<if condition="$avatarimgsrc">$avatarimgsrc </if>
HTH mate - this puts the width and height properly formatted for the <img src tag - if you want to format it using style, then you would use $avatarbits[0] and $avatarbits[1] for width and ehight respectively and then format your $avatarimgsrc statement accordingly
Code:
$avatarimgsrc = "style="width:$avatarbits[0]px;height:$avatarbits[1]px"

Close
a HOW-TO on using this with Avatars - it requires a small one-file, one-tempalte hack.

EDIT: 07-01-2005
The function this is based on was updated a while back to NOT require the width and height to be explicitly defined, and so this has now been updated to include the latest version of this function.

TO UPGRADE:

Just replace:
