Mark, you are on fire!

Great idea, I am working on a site with over 100000 members with MANY missing avatar images.
Drives me nuts seeing the missing image X on postbit.
This will force them to add an avatar before continuing right?

Yes, they will not be allowed to do anything (except log out) without defining an avatar.

I think this will work on vB 3.8.x too without any changes, and I am going to check that out soon, and either way I will be releasing a vB 3.8.x version (hopefully) sometime today.

Thank you and nominated.

Update - Version 1.1:

At the suggestion of Stratis (who has always been a great supporter of my mods), I have made the following update:

• Added a setting that allows you to give affected users a set number of "grace posts" that they can make before being required to define an avatar.

Very nice, works perfect in 4.2.0pl4

Thank you

vBulletin Message


The following dependencies were not met:

This product is not compatible with version 3.8.7 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 4.0.0 / Incompatible with 5.0.0 and greater)

On install attempt at a 3.8

[MarkFL]

Well...what I meant was it might work with vB 3.8.x without any plugin code changes. Obviously the dependencies would have to be altered.

Yeah I assumed you were saying you made this version-agnostic, so tried it.

Question, I use mod "Force Reading of PMs"

If member login in to site and has a private message at the same time with the announcement to define an avatar, we have a problem.
Define avatar mod does not let user to read PM. He can put avatar but for some reason, two members took time to guess , they keep pressing to read PM (I have a big image for that.)

Is there a way to block some scripts? maybe an option to insert what we want to exclude.
private, usercp, or what else.
Maybe it has problem with other forcing mods to, I did not try mod "force users to read thread"

Mark, every day members willing or not put there avatars, this changed the appearance of forum. Very nice

When I force a thread to be read, then a member without an avatar first sees that he must read a thread, and then when he clicks the provided link, he sees that he must define an avatar. Once he defines an avatar, he is done, but he has not actually seen the thread he was supposed to read.

I will soon investigate how to make this work with "Force Reading of PMs" as well...I will have to install it and run some tests.

You and me and many others will have no problem, they will insert first the avatar, we have in forum many "dummies" users that even to register is hard for them. (like me in coding)

They press what comes first or what they thinks that time. Any way same situation is with force PMs. Maybe their are more forcing mods out there, or other function
that I cannot remember now. If it has an option for us to exclude what we want it would be the best. neither than excluding something specific, today is PM, tomorrow maybe something else.

P.S If it is no hard to make it. Otherwise its ok as it is.

Update - Version 1.2:

• Changed execution order of main plugin so it executes before "Force Users to Read a Thread" product.
• Added setting to allow for chosen scripts to be excluded from the actions of this product.

[Stratis]

Yep, this makes the difference, excellent for another time
In my case I put this (private,usercp).


Some Scripts for non coders like me.

album
blog
calendar
forumdisplay

vbcms

Thank you Mark

Mark today I log in as a test user that has no avatar, mod forces me to insert an avatar. If I press in tabs I have for forums I realized that all images at the left side don't show up next to the thread title. it is not problem of this mode, but I use this to show those images http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=270794


For some reason, until member puts an avatar all forums don't show images and instaed of it shows the X






Any idea?
