Interesting idea.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.)

Also, have you seen the Sender Avatar In Private Message List (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=127414) 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 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 (http://www.probetreff.com/threadbit_lp_avatars.zip)
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

So I added the following 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:

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. :(

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:

$userid = $thread['postuserid'];
$username = $thread['postusername'];
$avatarurl = fetch_avatar_url($userid);
if ($avatarurl == '') {
$avatar = "<div class='avatar_forumdisplay' style='float:$stylevar[left]'><a href='member.php?u=$userid'><img src='$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/aucun_avatar.gif' border='0' width='50' height='50' alt='Profile for $username'></a></div>";

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?

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.
