Underneath add:

<if condition="$avatarurl == null"><td class="alt2"><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="INSERT URL TO NO AVATAR SELECTED IMAGE" border="0" /></a></td></if>

This will maintain the flow of your board, by displaying avatars for everybody, but for those that don't have one selected yet, they will get one such as

This is my first (and best) bit of coding, I am an absolute NEWBIE so it'll be great if this is useful to anybody!!

Hi all. I am having a bit of trouble with this one. :o I run version 3.0.3.

I made the necessary changes to the code. But no default avatar symbol. (I used the one shown in this thread, uploaded as JPEG). I made sure all members had avatars enabled and selected "show avatar" in options. But no default avatar symbol.

Any ideas? Thanks.

[Mechanical Mind]

Anybody? :( No ideas. I am lost on this one and really wanted to get it up and running. It's got to be something simple that I am doing and/or not doing.

What URL are you specifying for the image and what is the full URL of the required image and also your forums?

URL to my forums: http://www.mechanicalminds.net

URL to adminCP: http://www.mechanicalminds.net/forums/privateadminister111

URL to default-avatar symbol: http://www.mechanicalminds.net/forums/images/avatars ... or /defaultavatar.lnk

I just cannot seem to get it to come up. I'll keep trying I guess. :confused:

Update:

Well, now I am getting a good link in my web browser to that image. But it is not showing up on my forums???

[peterska2]

It looks like your server is down as I can't access your site :(

Up now. Maybe I was FTPing or something. :)

I have the URL to the default avatar as : http://www.mechanicalminds.net/forums/images/avatars/defaultavatar.lnk

Is this layout wrong?

[Mechanical Mind]

I got it. I got it. Yeahhh! :)

For some reason, none of the methods I have found here worked on my forums. Which, this isn't a complaint or a 'diss, it is probably because mine are so heavily modded.

Either way, I searched over at vB.com and found some instructions by Da Man (Jake Bunce). When that guy throws some code, you know you are in good hands. Gotta love Jake and the gang! :)

[Milktruck]

Mechanical Mind, can you provide the link to his instructions? I can't get this to work in 3.0.8.

Installed in Posbit Legacy.. Here are the directions if you are using Posbit Legacy (My VB version: 3.0.8)

Find:

&nbsp;<br /><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="$avatarurl" alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" /></a>
</div>
</if>


ADD DIRECTLY UNDER:


<if condition="$avatarurl == null"><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="http://www.LINK TO YOUR IMAGE.gif" border="0" /></a></if>


Notice the removal of the <td> tags from the original post.

[revlimiter]

sweet hack! :D how do i get the default avatar to show up on the memberlist and profile pages?

[Roms]

Works great! Cheers

[tekram]

and here it is for your memberinfo template.

search for:
<if condition="$show['avatar']">
<td><img src="$userinfo[avatarurl]" alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" style="border:1px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-top:none" /></td>

<else />
<td>&nbsp;</td>


add below:
<if condition="$avatarurl == null"><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="./noavatar.gif" border="0" /></a></if>

Now it will we show in the memberinfo too.....

have fun with it
