vBulletin.org Forum - Avatar on forumdisplay

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?

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

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.

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?
