What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps me know how many people are using my work, giving me extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

I appreciate the support!

I am surprised to see no comments here with the number of times this is requested.

Great work @Ozzy47, my daughter liked it. She said it was much easier then "Dad's" way. :)

[ozzy47]

Lol sorry dad. :)

[tbworld]

Lol sorry dad. :)

Yeah, now you have even infiltrated my personal life. :)

[temsamane]

the directory in rarfile has wrong name (images/avatars/banned_avatars)

[ozzy47]

Fixed, thanks for catching that. :)

[Bubble #5]

[ozzy47]

Think I found a bug.

Now no matter whos profile I go into their avatar gets replaced with the default avatar. On the forum their regular avatar shows up.

[jjohns12]

Perfect for me needed this just need to decide what to use as default.
Thanks

[ozzy47]

Your welcome, and thanks for marking as installed. :)

[Ianmac44]

Hi Ozzy and thank you for the Mod, is there any way that the default avatar could be made to show up on the "Latest Forum Posts" in the Forum Sidebar?? I am running VB4.1.5

You always get the weird stuff going on, I am unable to replicate this on my dev site, are you sure it is not another mod conflicting?

[ozzy47]

It may be possible, I will look into it when I get a chance. Don't forget to mark as installed if you are using the mod. :)

[Bubble #5]

You always get the weird stuff going on

Yeah, I'm lucky like that :D

are you sure it is not another mod conflicting?

No, but another mod that also uses the avatars is also having issues. I'll try to narrow down what might be effecting both.

[ozzy47]

Yeah let me know, I would be interested to find out what is going on.

[SPEEDKILLZ]

Nice work ozzy, but i can't get it to show up anywhere?

[ozzy47]

It is not showing in the postbit?

[ForceHSS]

Works for me

[ozzy47]

What? The image is named, default_avatar 1.gif and the setting, should have this, images/avatars/default_avatar/default_avatar 1.gif

[ForceHSS]

What? The image is named, default_avatar 1.gif and the setting, should have this, images/avatars/default_avatar/default_avatar 1.gif

This was is ok as u know its the banned_avatar that is wrong

[ozzy47]

Ahh, ok, I do believe that was remedied already.

[ForceHSS]

no in the xml you still have it as banned.jpg

[ozzy47]

Hmm, could have sworn I fixed that, but it is now. :)

[SPEEDKILLZ]

Do i need to change something? Download and upload again?

[ozzy47]

No Force was referring to the banned member avatar, [OzzModz] Banned Member Avatar (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=302806)

[ForceHSS]

Hmm, could have sworn I fixed that, but it is now. :)

Sorry should of linked u to the plugin but was a bit busy and thought u knew what plugin i was talking about

[ozzy47]

Not a big deal, it's all good now, thanks for reporting it. :)

[SPEEDKILLZ]

Hey Ozzy, on vb 4.2.1 i can not get the avatar to show only this

[ozzy47]

Looks like that member has the default avatar showing now. :)

[gremrock]

Extremely useful thanks :)

[ozzy47]

Glad you found it useful, and thanks for marking as installed. :)

[Barbara1]

the default_avatar 1.gif needs to be renamed to default_avatar_1.gif to work.

[Ianmac44]

It may be possible, I will look into it when I get a chance. Don't forget to mark as installed if you are using the mod. :)Hi Ozzy, just wondered if you have had the chance to look at the above, would be grateful for your help on this one.

[ozzy47]

No not yet, I am a bit back logged at the moment.

[Ianmac44]

No not yet, I am a bit back logged at the moment.No problem Ozzy, thank you for your prompt response

[pityocamptes]

Hey Ozzy, do you know if or when you might be able to include this across the entire site, such as blog avatars, profile, etc? Thanks.

[ozzy47]

Not exactly sure on the time frame, but I do plan on doing it. :)

[SPEEDKILLZ]

Ozzy what wold make it just say "members avatar" instead of showing image?

[ozzy47]

Did you load the images?

[SPEEDKILLZ]

Yes sir

[ozzy47]

Can you PM me a admin account then, and I can look into it.

[BBNZowner]

Downloaded + marked, will try it out tonight thanks. Makes forums look a lot nicer when newbies all have a cohesive avatar.

[ozzy47]

Yeah for the moment is is only in the postbit, but I will be adding more locations in a future version, and thanks for marking as installed. :)

[ckgb]

Default Profile Picture would also be nice ))

[OUTL4W]

just curious if you found a fix for the avatar not showing issue?

[ozzy47]

As far as I know, it should be working, perhaps uninstall the mod, and reinstall and see if it shows then. Remember though, it will still only show in the postbit ATM.

[ozzy47]

If you want PM me a admin account and FTP info and I will look into it for you.

[Barcham]

I just installed it on 4.2.2 and it works great. Took me a minute to realize that it only appears in the postbit - yeah, reading the thread helps sometimes, lol - but that's just perfect!

[ozzy47]

Excellent, glad ya like it, and thanks for marking as installed. :)

[Firyou]

So members with an avatar do not have their avatars replaced by this? only members with no avatar gain it right?

[ozzy47]

Correct. :)

[itexas]

vBulletin 4.2.2 - not working. Avatar is not showing.

[Barcham]

I have it installed on 4.2.2 and it works perfectly. Are you sure you are not confusing the avatar with the profile picture? The profile picture will still be blank.

[ozzy47]

Correct, it should be working on all versions of vB4.

[itexas]

It works for only new users or also for current?

[ozzy47]

Any user that does not have a avatar defined, just remember it only works in the postbit.

[hollyboy]

Installed on vb 4.2.2 but avatars are not showing for members with no avatars. Yes I am checking the postbit

If you PM me a admin account, I can debug the issue on your site. :)

[ozzy47]

v1.1.0 (September 7, 2014)
- Fixed a issue that might cause it to not show up on some sites.

Thanks to hollyboy for allowing me access to fix this. :)

[ozzy47]

To upgrade simply import the new XML, allowing overwrite. :)

[john7911]

Thank you very much ozzy47 ;)

[ozzy47]

Not a problem. I assume from your post it's working for you now? :)

[tommyxv]

Just wanted to point this out since you seem to be very consistent across the board. Would look better in my AdminCP too. LOL ;)

[ozzy47]

Yeah this was written before I started the OzzModz brand. If I ever update the mod, I will change that. :)

[tommyxv]

No biggie, I changed it. Simple phase edit. :) Just easier for me to find things.

[ozzy47]

Yeah I know, but I also like consistency. :)

[sub_ubi]

Love it! If you're thinking about new features, I'd like to suggest a different default avatar based on usergroup.

[ozzy47]

That might be a bit tricky to pull off. Glad you like it, and thanks for marking as installed. :)

[AFF648]

Great mod, thanks!

I'm having the same issue as this post though https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2449836&postcount=10

When viewing a user profile, their avatar is replaced by the default. It's ok in the forums though, only happens in the user profile.

[ozzy47]

Yes it only shows in the postbit ATM.

Glad you like it, and thanks for marking as installed. :)

[AFF648]

Thanks for the reply. I'm still a bit confused though.

If the user has uploaded their own profile pic, then it displays just under their user name when viewing their profile. If they have also selected/uploaded an avatar, then that displays further down the profile under Join Date. If they have not uploaded a custom profile pic or selected/uploaded an avatar, then the default avatar is shown in the profile pic location but nothing displays below Join Date where a user-defined avatar would show.

To summarize that then, and we're talking just the profile here, not the forums, if the user has not defined an avatar or profile pic, then this mod will display a default image, but in the profile pic location, not the profile avatar location?

[ozzy47]

What this mod does is a replacement in the postbit or postbt_legacy template, I have not added any other locations for it to look to replace yet.

[MistViper]

Hey ozzy so I just installed this, but for some reason in threads the avatars image appears broken. This is not the case on user profiles where the avatars show up. Do I have to upload my own picture for the avatar?

[ozzy47]

You could, but there is one that came with the mod. Are you sure you loaded the image that came with the mod correctly?

[MistViper]

Yeah I just checked and I accidentally clicked past the images folder, it was a quick fix. :)

[ozzy47]

Glad to hear, don't forget to mark as installed. :)

[Vintum]

Installed, and working fine.

Hoping you decide to update it with more locations. :D

[ozzy47]

Glad you like it and thanks for marking as installed. :)

At some point I do plan on adding more locations.
