I'm trying to make a few things to happen:
Every user be assigned a Default Avatar (unless they choose their own avatar)
The Default Avatar or the custom avatar should appear in the postbit.
The Default Avatar should also appear in the Navbar for Guests and for Users, unless they have chosen their own avatar
The Default Avatar should also appear in every other avatar location (such as the profile, memberlist, etc.) if no custom avatar is selected
I've read and re-read every post here (and at vbulletin.com) about default avatars, avatars in the postbit, and avatars in the navbar and elsewhere. So far, I haven't been able to make suggested template edits or mods work to do the above. Am I mistaken, or does vBulletin not have a consistent/global "hook" to pull in an avatar regardless of template/location, or at least conditionals that can make all of the above happen? The $post[avatarurl] conditional for the postbit doesn't apply to the navbar, for example.
Does anyone have any suggestions on making any/all of the above work? I've looked through all the mods I could find but haven't found the right mod/combo that works -- did I miss something?
Appreciate any help/info,
