This tutorial is intended to help entry-level users to process their own avatars and prepare them for uploading to their Xoops website. I strongly recommend that users also read my first tutorial here http://houseofstrauss.co.uk/files/avatar-tutorial/avatars.htm if they need guidance about using the sql file in the database. I also recommend that users try out the procedures FIRST on a test site, preferably on XSAS local server installation. If you are learning new techniques, you should always do this in a safe, non-production environment, where mistakes don't matter.
This tutorial pack contains the following:
1- avatars folder (empty except for a blank file to be deleted)
2- collection folder (containing 100 mixed images for processing)
3- myavatars.htm (the tutorial file)
4- myavatars.sql file (the database file to accompany the avatars)
5- myavatars.swf file (must be kept with myavatars.htm)
6- PicSizer.zip (compiled exe application for image processing.)
7- Readme file. (this file)
The whole tutorial pack can be downloaded here http://houseofstrauss.co.uk/files/avatar-tutorial/myavatars.zip (4.5mb)
Please make sure you can view flash and then open myavatars.htm in your browser. Do not separate myavatars.htm from the .swf file, or the tutorial won't work. View the whole tutorial and make sure you understand the content. You can also preview this tutorial online here http://houseofstrauss.co.uk/files/avatar-tutorial/myavatars.htm
You will need to unzip, and install PicSizer application on your machine in order to implement the tutorial. The zip file here has been directly downloaded from the authors site here http://www.axiomx.com/picsizer.htm If you have any doubt about the safety or authenticity of this application DO NOT install it without first visiting the authors website and making your own choice about using it. It is distributed as freeware and I have not detected any spyware or malicious componants in the application.
I think it's a good piece of software that is both easy to use and very well specified for this particular application. It is finally your choice to use it or not!
