How to install avatar plugin for MiniBB forum software

If you are using miniBB forum software and you want to display avatar images for your users, follow my instructions, because they are a little more desciptive than the original README.txt file.

Download the latest version from the download page. At the time of this writing there's Avatars 2.0.5 version available. But check if there's updated one.

Extract the zip file somewhere on your disk and start with the installation. I recommend to backup the whole forum before proceeding, you never know what will go wrong.

1.Create directory shared_files in your root forums directory. Chmod this directory to 0777
Create avatars subfolder under the shared_files and chmod 0777 also.
the structure is: your_forum_dir/shared_files/avatars/

2.Create subfolder under your main img directory called forum_avatars. There are preuploaded avatars located. You can upload there the image set from the zip or your own.

3.Upload addon_avatar.php to your main forum folder.

4.Upload your prefered language version to the lang directory.

5.Upload the html files to the templates directory. You can edit the html design if you wan to.

6.Open templates/user_dataform.html and add this somewhere to your TR table structure (I put it right before the last submit button):
<tr>
<td colspan=2>{$avatarForm} </td>
</tr>
