No there's a vB4 version that was actually here first...view the developer's profile and you'll find it.

What do you mean by avatar private message?

Hi great mod, I expect this is incompatible with vB 3.6.x, however I tried and received this error on.

I had to disable the mod until hopefully it is solved.


Database error in vBulletin 3.6.8:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT user.userid as usersuserid, user.avatarid, user.avatarrevision, avatarpath, NOT ISNULL(customavatar.userid) AS hascustom, customavatar.dateline,

FROM vb_user AS user
LEFT JOIN vb_avatar AS avatar ON avatar.avatarid = user.avatarid
LEFT JOIN vb_customavatar AS customavatar ON customavatar.userid = user.userid
WHERE user.username = 'someone';

This works with vB3.7+ and as of now and I would love to support old timers as I myself is an old timer on many of my forums but nothing lower than 3.7.

What do you mean by avatar private message?


I let you capture

thank u 4 this Work

[Max Taxable]

Installed and Nommed

[shabbirbhimani]

I let you captureI still don't get what you want to say. Do you mean to say you are getting avatars in there or want to say you are not getting avatars in PMs and want it there?

[great kitten]

when someone sends you a PM, the icon of the message ... as in the subjects they placed the icon d elos posts .... but now instead of icons appears avatars

enters your MP and see that there are icons of MP you have sent, instead of these icons appear avtars also of people who send you the MP

No it does not work that way for me. Can you tell me if you are using any other plugin or anything and also what version of vB you are using.

[great kitten]

I leave as it appears in the list of private messages, and went up the first image that is as it should be

use the version 3.8.7

[Artes_Marciales]

This add +100 queries :confused:
Unisnstall : S

[realmr]

any additional queries run ? And how good is this with the load of the forums ?

[Artes_Marciales]

one for each image


And how good is this with the load of the forums ?
this is strongly discouraged because your server load unnecessarily

is a shame because the modification is very nice

[shabbirbhimani]

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/09/54.pngNot sure what you are saying but I am using myself on my MBA Forum (http://www.mbaguys.net) without any such thing for PMs.

is a shame because the modification is very niceNot sure how else we could fetch the avatars because adding a join to the avatar table with threads/posts table is much more costlier operation for large forums anyway.

[JohnT]

I'm not liking how each avatar size is different, depending on the user's avatar. Can we make it so that they're all one fixed size?

[FreshFroot]

Yeah query wise it is intensive.. though I have xenforo and haven't seen how they must have reduced it. I'm know for sure XF does not have too many queries.. pretty optimized.

[Hellmaster]

Looks great, but my forums seems to be all piled...

Anything?

[shabbirbhimani]

Anything?
This would mean distortion of image.

[Alfa1]

This would mean distortion of image.
To make it the same as XenForo you need to add a image-crop tool:
http://keithics.com/blog/jquery/ajaxcrop-jquery-and-php-crop-tool
http://woork.blogspot.com/2009/02/best-image-croppers-ready-to-use-for.html

If you add that, then all avatars will show as equal dimensions, without distortion.

[shabbirbhimani]

That would mean we have to add jQuery as well and vBulletin does not use jQuery and s I have no plans to add it.

[Alfa1]

vbulletin has this directory for jquery: clientscript/jquery/

vbulletin is moving away from YUI and implementing jquery more and more. They intent to drop YUI completely.

[Goomzee]

thanks works fine

[Kolektor]

I watch each and every queries added with every mod. Can it be done with minimal queries only and will cache it ?

I like the way XF did it but how...

Thanks for reporting that in the tag template. Will update the plugin with the fix.

[shabbirbhimani]

Sorry to take so long to respond but there is no hooks when fetching thread bits in vBulletin 3.8.x and so we cannot fetch avatars thread results pages as thread bits.

The issue can only be solved once we edit the core vBulletin files but that is not recommended and so will not be able to update the plugin to support it.

If you are fine editing the core vB files, here is what you need to be doing.

Open tags.php file

Find

eval('$threadbits .= "' . fetch_template('threadbit') . '";');

And Add just above it the following

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('search_results_threadbi t')) ? eval($hook) : false;

And the avatars would show for thread results in tag pages.

Is there any way to have the next versions not require style edits? I'm just curious.

Don't have any such plans as of now.

I have the same result, reply avatar uses the default blank, doesn't show lastposter's avatar

Can you share your forum url so I can see the issue.

[Frosti]

I just took that one line back out and I can live without the lastpost avatars... I have quite a few other MODs installed so it might be a conflict, I'll play with it. I'm enjoying the Avies for the threadstarters so thnx for the MOD

[mykkal]

Is it possible to decrease the MYSQL queries? This plugin drives the load up very high.

[alzaabi]

it is not working for vbulletin 4.2.2

[rockerzteam]

Not working on 3.8.7 blank avatars.

[shabbirbhimani]

it is not working for vbulletin 4.2.2This is not for vB 4.2.2. You should be using this one (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=268618)

Not working on 3.8.7 blank avatars.It works for me on vB 3.8.7 and so can you PM me your forum url and so I can look into it.

[PinkMilk]

It's broken in tag search results for me, everywhere else is fine.

Update:
Nevermind just found fix for it in one of previous posts.
