Version 1.1: Add avatar by default (Big thank to Fred for plugin ;))

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PS: If you use thie mod, click on Install please :)

oo thanks :D

installed

Interesting idea.

I'm going to use this with an if statement for an New Members Introduction Forum ;)

That actually doesn't work, why would the source of the image be image.php?

WOn't work if avatars in saved in the file system I should say. Paths are different. :)

Any way to get it to display a default avatar if the user doesn't have one?

I think this hack just got a lot more complicated for Allan *lol*

I really like the idea, but you'll have to use the fetchavatarurl function and pass that into a variable that the template can use then then conditional it incase the user doesn't have an avatar or it'll come up with a red x.

Version 1.1: Add avatar by default (Big thank to Fred for plugin )

Sweet. Thanks Allan.

Not bad dude, Installed.

sorry, I'm sort of new at this. What does this mean and where do I do it?

"Add this class in your style"

Code:
.avatar_forumdisplay {
padding:0px 5px 0px 0px;
}

Would like to know the same...very vague

In AdminCP => Styles & Templates => Style Manager => in your style (Main CSS) :

At the end, in "Additional CSS Definitions", second bloc (custom css), add that:

.avatar_forumdisplay {
padding:0px 5px 0px 0px;
}

How i install the mods in "search.php?do=getnew" ???

Nice. It's not something I would use at the moment but it's a cool idea.

This is a neat addition. Thanks.

Installed.

I can use this. One thing you need to take a look at is that if a member uses one of the "forum supplied" avatars it will not display anything at all.

yes other than that this is a good plugin

i look forward to the fix then i will run it live on my forums

(only installed on test site atm)

This is such a great addition, I would like to know how can I also make that the last poster's avatar is displayed in the threadbit template.
Please look at this screenshot for explanation, The box No.1 is well taken care of the thread starter's avatar being displayed. Just see next to box no.2

Basically just follow the blue arrow here.. I hope I was clear on my description.

Cheers.

Does this work if the avatars are stored in the file system?

I'll be watching for the update to use forum stored avatars as well..

is there another one that works for 3.5.X?

is there a way to make this work in 3.5.4?

still no worky for file system

Please add the ability to pull avatars from the file system :)

This is working great, but can you tell me how i could have the avatar resized to a set size on the threadbit?

Edit: * Spadez Installs :)

Go to your Plugin Manager, find Avatar Threadbit in the list, and then edit the Plugin PHP Code to your liking.:)

Awesome, i thought it would be harder than that but i guess not, i can also change:

to english :D

Oupss, yes :p

bump

Test it ^^

i did. i get this error.

Great idea! Thanks for sharing, Allan!

What's the easiest way to restrict this only to certain forums?

I also would like to see this work with avatars stored in the file system.

This mod is definitely encouraging new thread creation; most of my members have pictures of their faces as their avatars, so I think they like seeing their faces on the threads page! I also made the default image a flower, so I think it's prompting new male members to customize their avatars. The only problem is the lack of avatars from the file system; I have some great custom art made as avatars on my forum, which I'm really proud of. But it looks so weird to have gaps on the threads page that some have switched back to having no avatar instead of getting their picture up. And from the user perspective, it just looks broken.

I don't know how difficult it is to call the avatars from the file system, but can we at least have a default image for those people in the meantime? (Personally I'd like it to be a different image from the default image currently in use, so at least they'd stand out from the newbies.)

Where is this aucun_avatar.gif I am supposed to upload?

It wasn't included; I believe you're supposed to use your own file and name it aucun_avatar.gif.

No..actually I found the critter. It is that little green bird with the screenshots LOL

I've noticed that when members change their avatar the old one is still displayed on forumdisplay. Any way to correct this?

Also, have you seen the Sender Avatar In Private Message List mod? It does almost the same thing except for the private messages list, and works with the filesystem. I thought maybe it would give you some ideas:)

I will try to get this one in my forum.

Is there ANY way I can use this on my forumhome?
I want to display the last poster's avatar and name instead of status icon on the forumhome.

I've asked on other forums and it seems noone is able to help me with this issue.
It HAS to be possible.

If anyone has any ideas please let me know... PLEASE.

I hope you meant to say forumdisplay and not forumhome because I whipped you up a little plugin you can use which will display the last posters username and avatar wherever you want in the forumdisplay (threadbit) so you can replace the statusicons with this.

Basically will do the same as the original hack but instead displays the last poster and avatar. It's 7:40 am and I'm tired as crap so I didn't make it pretty and didn't even make it a product file.

It works with custom avatars, filesystem avatars, and forum stock avatars. If your users do not have an avatar it will display the noavatar.gif that you will need to upload to your misc image directory.

I'm not hi-jacking this thread and I am offering 0 support. You just seemed desperate for a modification like this so I thought I'd be nice. I might release it as it's own hack if there's a demand.

On a side note, I sent the original author a new copy of his hack which worked with filesystem and db avatars back in May but I guess he opted not to release it *shrug*

Anyway xcingix, you can download your own personal mod here

Only thing I can think of that may suck for you is if you're using table prefixes, think I forgot to add that to a couple lines in the first query because, well, I'm tired :D

I want to give the users the possility to choose, maybe they want it or maybe not...

So I added the following code:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

And the Profile-Field (field9) With the options Ja (Yes) and Nein (No).
But it doesn't work... evan if I choose yes. :confused:

installed
this working fine
thanks

seems to work. thank you! I have noticed the same.

is there a way to correct it?

thank you

I have noticed something strange:

For the same user it shows an avatar and sometimes it doesnt (see attach).
Is there a way to correct this?

thank you

no help with this?

thank you!

I would really love for someone to take over this mod because it is actually very good.

lol love it.

Am I right in concluding that I am getting no avatars to show up because I am using server hosted avatars in the default images/avatars directory?

Would it make a difference if I changed my avatars directory to the /misc folder where he has us put the default avatar?

I would like to use this mod, just not sure why it wouldn't be written for forums using the normal setup. :(

Anyone know how to make this show up when you hit view new posts?

I find that replacing image.php?u=$userid with $avatarurl[0] helps a great deal as it seems to handle better.

So it would look like: <img src='$avatarurl[0]'

That and changing "Profile de AntiThesis" to "Profile for AntiThesis" :)

Simply adding the following code to search_results_threadbit works:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Awesome! *installed* adds a good look to the forums.

I cannot find the search_results_threadbit template. Where is it located? Where should I place the code?

Thanks for your help.

I really like this plugin. :D

i had to go to the actual plug-in to make the changes.. i made the changes there... and i got it to work fine...

Has anyone really got this to work 100% without errors of any kind including the ones stated in earlier posts? Such as the problem with users changing their avvys' and pulling avvys from the DB.

Does this add an additional query for each thread displayed or how does that fetch_avatar_url function work?

Thanks.
Hope you're around when 3.7.0 comes out.
I'm holding off on mods till then.

This is great but it doesn't show the default avatars nor does it show avatars that are already on the forums. Just shows avatars that have been uploaded by people manually or from a website.

Beautiful!

Thanks!

nice work

Got it loaded and works good. However it needs to show the default Avatar as opposed to the users custom avatar.

Anyway to change this?

I have this installed, but not working yet. I have not been able to get it to work on regular avatars, only custom avatars and a couple of forums have no avatars at all.

Any idea how to get default avatars to show for a user?

I succeded in using this mod with filesystem based avatars, but I had to add a second get_avatar_url (which I named get_avatar_url2 very original) in functions_user.php just forcing it to get the file based one.

By the way, is it right to guess this mod adds as many querys to forumdisplay.php as threads we have listed?

fetch_avatar_url will add a query for every unique avatar it pulls.

does this work with vb 3.7? couldnt find the code in the template...

Got it working for 3.7. Great plugin! Make sure to add $avatar in the threadbit template or else it won't work. Like this:

$avatar<if condition="$show['gotonewpost']"><a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]goto=newpost&t=$thread[threadid]" id="thread_gotonew_$thread[realthreadid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/firstnew.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_to_first_new_post]" border="0" /></a></if>

Also, some people have some oddly shaped avatars uploaded so you should only specify the width of the avatar in the plugin and leave the height at 100%. It looks better to me.

wow well done! Must have not seen that in the instructions above! *sigh*

I also have this annoying problem.

Until something can be done about this, I am going to uninstall.

how is this going on 3.8?
