[RC2] Hackless avatar on homepage

[Brad]

This is a update of my template modification for vB 2, with this modification installed your avatar will be displayed on index.php. This can be useful for welcome panels and other similar template modifications.

Yes im aware Tungsten as done for for vBulletin 3 beta, and this is no reflection on him but his code dose alot of database work to pull the avatar, mine will only run one query.

[imported_Blackbeard]

Any chance of a screenie in vb3

[Zachery]

might also want to make that


if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' AND $bbuserinfo[userid] != 0)

that way unregisted users wont run into it :)

If you put this in config.php, you can do this with no added queries:

define('AVATAR_ON_NAVBAR', 1);

Hmm, how would you get the avatar to show up?

I've tried $userinfo[avatarurl] and $bbuserinfo[avatarurl], non seem to work for me. :/

[M1th]

Actually, nevermind.. figured it out (thanks to Kura):


<img src="image.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$bbuserinfo[userid]&amp;dateline=$bbuserinfo[avatardateline]" title="$bbuserinfo[username]'s Avatar" alt="Avatar" border="0" />

This takes care of that:

if ($bbuserinfo['userid'])
{

Interesting mod I'm probably going to use this when I make a new welcome panel for my sites

Hmmm...

I put it in the navbar template, but now it only shows up on forumhome. It's missing from deeper pages. Could someone suggest a way to fix this?

I added freddie's config.php suggestion, too.


EDIT - fixed

Great thanks to Vb-Hispano (http://www.vbulletintemplates.com/mods/member.php?u=7168) -- His replacement string solved the problem.

If you put this in config.php, you can do this with no added queries:

define('AVATAR_ON_NAVBAR', 1);How do you put htis code in config.php? Are you sure you didnt mean a different file?

I'm trying to reduce the number of queries being run for Forum Home. So I need to figure this one out. Thx

You have to (download then) edit config.php with a text editor and then re-upload the file to your server.

You have to (download then) edit config.php with a text editor and then re-upload the file to your server.I'm sorry, what I meant was that I have never seen a hack that required you to edit that specific file (config.php). I was under the impression that you should never edit it.

Also, there is no code in that file that seems similar to the code he suggested adding. It only contains the basic variables for connecting to the mysql database.

I see Define() statements in index.php and global.php but not in config.php...

I know what you mean. I had no idea, so I just added add Freddie's suggestion to the bottom of config.php.

Fixed?
How?

I've been trying to figure this out for a good day.. but I can't figure out how to get the avatar displayed on the deeper pages.

Just like it doesn't call the function.

I put the code in the phpinclude_start template

and the html in the header template...

Can anyone help me out?

define('AVATAR_ON_NAVBAR', 1);
That's too cool.

[Erwin]

Good point - if you have avatars as files, what is the variable to use for the avatar to show up?

Here's what I use on my site and it works. :)

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['hascustomavatar']">
<a href="profile.php?do=editavatar">
<img src="$vboptions[avatarurl]/avatar$bbuserinfo[userid]_$bbuserinfo[avatarrevision].gif" title="$bbuserinfo[username]'s Avatar" alt="Avatar" border="0" /></a>
</if>

[Erwin]

I knew about that. :) What about if the person does not have a custom avatar though. Freddie's suggestion intrigued me...

Post removed.

bump!!!!

[Brad]

Change the code you added to phpinclude_start to this:

// Brad's avatar on homepage modification
if ($bbuserinfo['userid'])
{
require_once('./includes/functions_user.php');
// note: the function below will run one query
$homepage_ava = fetch_avatar_url($bbuserinfo['userid']);
}
// end avatar modification


Note this will run a query EVERY pageload.

What template did you edit to place that avatar where it is?
