Snow avatar overlay for your forum

[MentaL]

Hi

This mod creates an overlay for your avatars of selected usergroups. To install follow the steps below.

- Go to postbit_legacy
- Search


<vb:if condition="$show['avatar']">
<a class="postuseravatar" href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw post}}" title="{vb:rawphrase {vb:raw post['onlinestatusphrase']}, {vb:raw post.username}}">
<img src="{vb:raw post.avatarurl}" alt="{vb:rawphrase xs_avatar, {vb:raw post.username}}" title="{vb:rawphrase xs_avatar, {vb:raw post.username}}" />
</a>
</vb:if>


Delete the bold and replace with


<!-- snow avatar effect code -->
<vb:if condition="is_member_of($post, x,y,z)">
<table {vb:raw avwidth} {vb:raw avheight} border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" background="{vb:raw post.avatarurl}">
<tr><td>
<a href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw post}}"><img src="http://forum.ragezone.com/images/styles/AnimatedArena/xmas/snow.gif" {vb:raw post.avwidth} {vb:raw post.avheight} alt="{vb:rawphrase xs_avatar, {vb:raw post.username}}" border="0" /></a>
</td></tr>
</table>
<vb:else />
<div class="usercenter"><a href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw post}}" title="{vb:rawphrase {vb:raw post['onlinestatusphrase']}, {vb:raw post.username}}">
<img src="{vb:raw post.avatarurl}" alt="{vb:rawphrase xs_avatar, {vb:raw post.username}}" title="{vb:rawphrase xs_avatar, {vb:raw post.username}}" /></a></div>
</vb:if>
<!-- snow avatar effect code -->


Edit x,y,z with the usergroups you want to provide the overlay to. Enjoy.

MentaL rocks !

I would advise users to backup the snow.gif and locate it on your server but our images are cached with Cloudflare so you're more than welcome to use it from our servers.

</a>

= bold.

[ZUCCO]

Much better and its working :D

[Krusty1231]

I did not want a full blown snow effect on my entire forum. Some members become annoyed when I do that. This is perfect.

Thanks for sharing!

[Razta]

Thank you very much

Hey, I replace the code as you said and I put the usergroups ID (replacing x,y,z ) but nothing happens :(

Does it apply to already registered member or just new ones?

[tbworld]

It is just a transparent overlay image. So if you are selecting the right user-groups it will work past and present. :)

I have never used this modification.

[Krusty1231]

As I do not like relying upon other websites for internal tweaks like this one I'd suggest you take out this part of the code...

http://forum.ragezone.com/images/styles/AnimatedArena/xmas/snow.gif

Upload the image to your own forum, and enter the URL location of that image.

http://yourforum/images/snow.gif

Or whatever.

Here is the image used.

I did not want to say anything because it was a 'hack modification", and the author made it pretty obvious.

[ZUCCO]

Still cant make it work.

I uploaded the snow.gif file into my images directory:


"http://myweb.com/images/snow.gif"


I replaced the x,y,z with my usergroup IDs and still nothin happens :(


The whole text was like this:


<!-- snow avatar effect code -->
<vb:if condition="is_member_of($post, 5,6,7,8)">
<table {vb:raw avwidth} {vb:raw avheight} border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" background="{vb:raw post.avatarurl}">
<tr><td>
<a href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw post}}"><img src="http://myweb.com/images/snow.gif" {vb:raw post.avwidth} {vb:raw post.avheight} alt="{vb:rawphrase xs_avatar, {vb:raw post.username}}" border="0" /></a>
</td></tr>
</table>
<vb:else />
<div class="usercenter"><a href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw post}}" title="{vb:rawphrase {vb:raw post['onlinestatusphrase']}, {vb:raw post.username}}">
<img src="{vb:raw post.avatarurl}" alt="{vb:rawphrase xs_avatar, {vb:raw post.username}}" title="{vb:rawphrase xs_avatar, {vb:raw post.username}}" /></a></div>
</vb:if>
<!-- snow avatar effect code -->

Still doesnt work.

Perhaps because your layout is not postbit legacy? I'm no expert but your site's postbit is not what mine looks like. That could be the problem?

[tbworld]

You might try temporarily setting the conditional always on:

Change:

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($post, 5,6,7,8)">
To:

<vb:if condition="TRUE || is_member_of($post, 5,6,7,8)">
Just set the TRUE to FALSE to toggle the conditional on and off.

IF you have a issue with a post in another thread, best way to handle it is to report it, not come into other threads and take the thread off topic. :)
