Prison Bars on Banned Users Avatars

[rungok]

What is it?
It displays a transparent avatar on top of your banned users avatars
simulating prison bars. The idea is from Jailmod for phpbb. Since the
actual jail functionality is pretty much covered in vBulletin, I thought
I might enhance the fun with some jailbars in vBulletin also. Enjoy!

Release history:
v1.0: 20 August 2007

v1.1: 09 December 2007
- Added edit for public profile (MEMBERINFO)

Not a bad idea.


Might use this one one day, If I start banning members..

:)

Cheers.

Nathan.

[Magnumutz]

*Clicks install*

[PoetJA-1975]

LOL - crazy mod - nice though
Thanx for the sharing!

Jacquii.

[EWGF]

Nice :) Will use it as soon as I've got banned members.

[sensimilla]

Could be usefull if bars can be replaced by some forum related graphics. Nice idea!

[tutusinghsohi]

Installed :D....

nice work...

[NeeJam]

Installed thanks! :)

[pow6713]

That depends on what you use. In my article I wrote:
Do this replace in all your templates postbit and maybe also in postbit_legacy if you let your users choose between them.

[brfrankl]

I like it. *Installed*

But I made a different graphic (attached)

[rungok]

Nice. Thanx for sharing...

What happens if the user doesn't use avatar ??

[armatik]

Then they don't see it. :P

[parabat]

What happens if the user doesn't use avatar ??

Just create a general blank faced avatar and add that.

Talking about that, can an avatar be inserted as a default until a user changes it themselves?

Groovy man. I'm tempted to use these myself for special cases. :up:

[lostgirl815]

A great mod! And you can also use this mod to put twinkly lights around avatars for special occasions or holidays. :)

(Attaching a really subtle one for 100x100 avatars.)

[Hornstar]

THanks for all the other images as well everyone. this is quite a useful addition to my site. thanks.

[yoyoyoyo]

I banned someone who also had not chosen to pick an avatar - they had a default avatar, and this did not add bars to that avatar. is there any way to make sure that happens?

[slosupra]

didnt work for me

[charles abiola]

I installed and uninstalled because it move the join date and time to the left above the avatar which is too high so I have to uninstalled it, after uninstalled, it place X on the banned user without the avatar.
How can I remove the "X" place on the blank avatar?

[anwar.abdullakh]

this mod doesn't seem to work if you have Warlion's "Online/Offline avatar?s opacity" modification installed, HERE: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=157699

any solutions for that??

[Triky]

Lol, pretty idea. :)

[osousous]

Hi great idea.

I've installed it and it works when viewing the forum, but when I click the users public profile, it can't find the image.

Any idea how to solve this?

[AdmiralGeek]

it only edits the template within the postbit, you will have to edit the profile templates also, am just installing this now, and when i have made the changes in the other templates i will upload additional walk throughs.

Obviously the coder never thought about the rest of where the persons profile would be turning up.

Do you use postbit_legacy?

[rungok]

Released new version 1.1 today with edit for public profile. The memberlist doesn't show banned users, so I haven't done anything there yet.

[rungok]

I banned someone who also had not chosen to pick an avatar - they had a default avatar, and this did not add bars to that avatar. is there any way to make sure that happens?
Can I test this? How do you set a default avatar?

[rbrashear68]

I actually have it working on the profile pages, but cannot get it to show up in the postbit. [scratches bald head] ;)

Thanks for any help! Oh yeah, running 3.6.8

edit: N/M....got it fixed. thanks for the mod!

[TheInsaneManiac]

I like, but see I have 8 templates so the template edits are not gonna be fun ='[

[Stefano Virgill]

Hi guys,
I'm attacching another cage for those whom have it working.

Mine is not working at all.
Unistalled.

[KeyStalker]

I followed all the instructions, didn't work. Very disappointed. :erm:

[I_E]

This is just perfect for the new PoliceOfficerAssociation forum!
THANKS!

[mark|3]

is it still working??
thanks

[TCE Killa]

Can I test this? How do you set a default avatar?

I think he might of done that through the interactive profiles hack, that is how I have a default avatar.

This is an excellent mod by the way, been using it for awhile now and everything is working fine.

[rungok]

I followed all the instructions, didn't work. Very disappointed. :erm:
Maybe you can provide me with some more details if you want some help? Does the avatar show normally on banned users?

Have you recently upgraded your forum? It may be neccesary to reapply all template edits after an upgrade.

[KeyStalker]

Usually for banned members the avatar + signature is gone...

[Brandon Sheley]

nice idea but I usually delete all thereads and post by the banned users.

[rungok]

You are thinking of deleted users. They will of course not be handled since they have no avatar. But banned or temporary banned users have avatars. This mod is for those users.

[SwollenCranium]

I've got a shiny new nickel with your name on it if you make this work for 3.7.

[rungok]

It will be done right after release. :)

[KeyStalker]

The default banned user group is 8 (if I am not mistaken) on vb 3.6.8, and I put 8 into the code (and followed it (instructions) and doesn't work)

[MelissaJ]

I'm looking into adding something similar to troll and a semi-banned categories as well. I tried modifying the code around to see if it'd work with both, but all I got was the avatar to show up three seperate times. Any idea on what tweaks to the codes here will work for that?

Postbit:
<if condition="$show['avatar']"><td class="alt2"><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="<if condition="$post[usergroupid]==9">images/avatars/banned.gif"<else />$post[avatarurl]" $post[avwidth] $post[avheight]</if> alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" /></a></td></if>

Change "9" to your usergroup ID for the banned avatar.

Stupid Monkey.

Have you temporary banned a user for a time period and then chosen the "banned users" group as a gruop to place the user in during the temporary ban? You must do that.

Are you sure you don't mean deleted users? Because deleted users can not have avatars without installing a special mod for that.

[rungok]

The default banned user group is 8 (if I am not mistaken) on vb 3.6.8, and I put 8 into the code (and followed it (instructions) and doesn't work)
You should look into your "usergroup manager" and verify that group number, because I don't have any group with id 8 at all. I don't remember what the default banned usergroup is.

The last memberinfo-edit does not work in v3.7. New version coming up... here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=177980)
