[fixed] PNG Avatars

[Ksilebo]

I usually make my avatars in PNG format, which always look better, and was wondering how one would go about allowing PNGs to be uploaded as avatars.

PNG avatars have been supported since 2.2.2 well the code is there for it :)

Ive never actually got around to ever testing it, Ill go do it now

PNG is supported in the admin area for avatars but not for the regular user, I presume this isnt intended so...

Moving to bugs

and em a fix :)

open member.php

find
if ($imginfo[2]!=1 and $imginfo[2]!=2) {
change to

if ($imginfo[2]!=1 and $imginfo[2]!=2 and $imginfo[2]!=3) {

Also noticed that avatar.php was sending a gif header you dont have to do this but it would help.

Open up avatar.php

look for

header("Content-type: image/gif");

remove it

then look for

header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s",$avatarinfo[dateline]) . "GMT");
below it add
if(substr(strrchr(strtolower($avatarinfo[filename]),"."),1) == "jpg") {
header("Content-type: image/jpg");
} elseif (substr(strrchr(strtolower($avatarinfo[filename]),"."),1) == "png") {
header("Content-type: image/png");
} else {
header("Content-type: image/gif");
}

Applied and runs without a problem.
Thank you for making some times for this.

I think I'm the only one who uses PNG, and can have one of my Admins set PNGs for others, so I can wait for 2.2.7+ for the fix to be included.

WHEE I FOUND A BUG!
