You can detect if the avatars are in the file system with:

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

This will be an integer value of 1 if the file system is being used, and an integer value of 0 if the database is being used.

yeah but how does that help lol, say i were to use for the img src

that would work by itself, without a query. but that _1 at the end is the revision number, so I would need something like $thread[postuseridAvatarRev] where the 1 is, and i dont see any way of doing this without creating queries.

I guess for now i can combine it into one product using, ill just inform that if your avatars on your file system it will create a query for avatar loaded.

Datastore? Possible to use that?

as they say in developing 'anything is possible' lol, but beyond my skillset, this is =P

can you give me an example? a product that uses this method, a way vbulletin uses it? im looking into it now too

[Dr.CustUmz]

it doesnt even touch the page load whether you have the additional queries or not though (at least from what Ive seen). all the queries mean, is it's asking the database for more information. on some products, queries matter, but from the testing ive put on my crappy little server sitting next to me i have not noticed any stress at all =) and its just a little ubuntu server i made from old pc parts, so if your site is on a real server youll have no issues =)

found a good article, but this may have to wait =)

Yes I agree this Mod is insignificant as a bloat producer or performance negative. It doesn't hurt page load or performance at all. The only thing it really does is add the kb of the avatar image files, but these are small and not a significant source of bloat either.

I only mentioned the Datastore as a possible solution for some of the coding issues you're getting. But really, you're doing just fine the way it is.

Can we get this for search.php now too?

[Dr.CustUmz]

oh yeah forgot had to add the other pages for the file system side.

what other pages other than search would this need to be activated?... i cant think of any others

[Max Taxable]

Pretty sure it's just going to be forumdisplay and search.

[Dr.CustUmz]

*update* Added Support for search result avatars if files are in the file system. - thanks max

if your avatars are not in the file system this feature already exists

I like it how you do those mini icons.. a very good idea please make all of them forum/thread icons like that.

[Dr.CustUmz]

I am, just going to take a while got to photoshop every post status icon, then create each combination in css. just got done adding vbadvanced support, ill probably hold off on the release though since no one has requested that lol.

[Dr.CustUmz]

can I get some feedback on this approach

[Hasann]

very nice
