Hello

nice edit

thanX

[squawell]

well done Faranth:D:D

[Boofo]

How would you show a default avatar for those users who don't have one but still only show any avatars if the user doesn't have the show avatars box checked in their user options?

[Zachery]

i think i removed abit of code to get it working >.< ill take a look into making that option work, personally ive never used it :)

[macshrine]

all in the instructions :Dwhere are we meant to put the avatar.gif?

[Zachery]

avatar.gif is ment to be replaced by whatever you want you can leave it as avatar.gif as long as you have an image called avatar.gif in your root forum directoyr

[macshrine]

i forgot to ask, what template do we edit? it doesnt say

[Zachery]

postbit or postbit_legacy

[macshrine]

it worked, but there is a problem

http://www.macshrine.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2233#post2233

if you look at my site there, the avatarrs are on top. i am using rc2 vb3

[Ryan McBain]

I get this error when I try to add this to the postbit template

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' in /home/ryanmcba/public_html/forums/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(2998) : eval()'d code on line 187

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

[Zachery]

what version are you running?

[Ryan McBain]

I am using Vb3 Rc2

>.< weird.

i dont really have a ton of time trying to fix this. make sure you didnt overwrite any other conditions

hmm, i just upgraded to rc3. will i have to wait for this to get upgraded too or should it still work?

[Zachery]

i see no reason for it not to work

The code in RC3 is different.

[Zachery]

actually i dotn see why it wouldnt work , but ill check into it.

i am a coder, and im more than aware things change

[btekcan]

Work correctly on RC3

Great,thanks

[Schorsch]

it doesn't show the default avatar with RC4. it's just as before

[Arkham]

Hmm.. All these hacks fail to do what they say. ;)

Sure, they display a placeholder Avatar on the page the code is installed, but what about something that assigns an avatar to user accounts by default.

I need something that starts all new user accounts with a specified default avatar.

Has anyone seen that anywhere?

edit:

Brad had one in 2002...

Guess I should investigate.

Seems like this should already be part of vbulletin.
Nice work.
