Show an Avatar on Who's Online Above the Username

[amykhar]

This one is a quickie PLUGIN that I threw together. Hope you like it.

Update - I changed the template to show the avatar over the username instead of replacing the username.

[Boofo]

I think it's great but I would still have the username there, too, for those that don't associate the avatar with a username. ;)

[amykhar]

Just slap it under the avatar picture in the template. That's what I ended up doing for the same reason :D

[Barakat]

great from a great Coder ........ Installed

[Wordplay]

thank you dear i requested this hack, i appriciate you doing it for me.

[Talisman]

The added username is a good improvement. Some people like to change their avatars alot.

Nice hack.

I was going to start working on something like this for my board, thanks for saving me some time! :D

[Wordplay]

could you please help me out amykhar? i also installed your column on the right side of the forum plugin.

now i want to show a quick who's online table in there that shows only the avatars, and next to it their username, or maybe even just a link to where they currently are. could you show me how do do that?

[Adrian Schneider]

Cool Idea Amy, I may use this.

[ajpritch]

How would I add the usernames back along with the avatars?

[amykhar]

Instead of doing a replace in the template, you would paste the code above.

[ajpritch]

I get this error when I post right above it

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in \includes\adminfunctions_template.php(3519) : eval()'d code on line 11

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

I also get this error.

[amykhar]

use this replace block instead:

<if condition="$show[loggedinuser]">
<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$userinfo[userid]" target="_blank">

<if condition="$userinfo[avatarurl]">
<a href="member.php?u=$userinfo[userid]"><img src="$userinfo[avatarurl]" border="0" alt="$userinfo[username]" height="60" width="60"/><br /><strong>$userinfo[musername]</strong>
<else />
$userinfo[musername]$userinfo[hidden]<if condition="$show[buddy]">+</if></a>
</if>

[ajpritch]

Works great. Thanks

[secret1980]

looks great :) but will create load on the server :(

[Extreme John]

Nice easy hack and I love it, your awesome!

[nicedreams]

This is cool. What about having an option to display the profile pic instead of an avatar?

[AshokForums.com]

What if 2 or more users have the same avatar ???

[amykhar]

If you've put the name under it, that won't be a problem.

[PennylessZ28]

I'd kiss you, I've been trying to figure this one out myself Amy!!!

[GamerJunk.net]

Does it resize the avatars? This could get kinda messy

[The Chief]

works great, installed :)

[shadowdancer36]

Do someone mind tweaking this so that i shows the last person who signed on in a block for VBad? Something that would show the person's avatar and their name under it. Then another link under that which would point to all those online at that moment.

U can set what size limit u want avatars to be in admincp

That's not tweaking this mod. That's writing a completely different mod.

[skorzguy]

I tried this and it doesn't show. What could I be doing wrong? I like the concept of the avatars.

I uploaded the plugin and added the code but I don't see any results. Do the avatars show up on the forum home page near the bottom of the page?

I am using 3.5.2, could this be the problem

[PennylessZ28]

amy would there be a way to display the avatars say 4 colums a row?

[Gripemaster]

Very nice addition thank you! *Clicks Install*

[S@NL - BlackBik]

Nice :)

[amykhar]

I changed the template directions to put the avatar over the username instead of replacing the username.

[PennylessZ28]

Nice update, but that was the first thing I did. Amy, any thoughts about 5 colums of users?

[amykhar]

It's not something I'm going to tackle because I don't need it. Sorry.

[S@NL - BlackBik]

And you're right....
The thing about those hacks is that I never know how to begin.
So if a coder lik Amykhar posts a hack, I'm normaly able to costumize it to my needs. At least I try to. Cause everybody just wants it a little bit different. A hacker can never make something to everybody's liking. But they always did the difficult job of figuring out where to put something.
And that is why I love this forum so much :)

[PennylessZ28]

After looking at the php files and it would be a seprate process from this hack.

[Tralala]

This is working great for me! Thanks amykhar!

I notice though, that users without an avatar show up as a "broken image" icon.


Anyway to make them appear as blank space, or a generic "no avatar" GIF or something? Cuz currently it looks ugly (or worse... broken.)

[yinyang]

is there anyone to do this in the forum home page's What's Going On? Instead of showing who's online via username, it'd show the avatar. Is this possible?

[Tralala]

I resolved this, by the way, by uploading a suitable "no avatar" image to my style's images/misc folder, called "noavatar.gif"

[Wordplay]

is there anyway of showing this directly on the forumhome's who's online part? i'm actually trying to display it in a module on vbadvanced, but haven't been able too nor do i know anybody working on it.

HELL YEAH!

well sort of, guess that'll do!

[Chicago_VLNU_4s]

would have been better if you explained it to where a new user like myself could understand, more instructions next time

[The Chief]

Does this work with 3.6?

[amykhar]

Probably. I haven't tried it. Give it a shot and let us know. ;)

Will do :)

[bada_bing]

IS there a way to have it display the members profile pic instead of the avatar and if no profile pic is set then it will display a default pic?

[wideopen]

Nice Amy..Thanks

[TheBlackPoet]

i just installed it.. and i love it .. i love the control of the sizing and the username or not... i originally opted not to use it but talisman made a good point... so... thanks...

[Kosmic1]

Very nice mod!!

Installed. Thanks :)

[Kaasie]
