vb.org Archive - Show "No Avatar" Image If No Avatar is Selected

I was working on my site, I thought I'd post an updated version of this hack for vb2.3.2

Intro:
Think of this as a remix of MW[MWGN] no avatar script, only I had to change things to make it work with vb2.3.2 and I made new art.

Credits:
Vincent "MW" Chan - Show "No Avatar" Image If No Avatar is Selected
trilOByte - welcome panel final, please note I didn't use his code in this hack, but it can be used with the welcome panel hack.

WORKS WITH: vBulletin v2.3.2

As always before you install anything BACK UP YOUR DATABASE!, :) aka use this hack at your own risk. This is tested on my site and works well :)

Files to Edit: 1 forum/admin/functions.php

1) FIND:

Code:



$avatarurl="";

REPLACE WITH:

Code:



$avatarurl="{imagesfolder}/avatars/noavatar.gif";

NEXT FIND:

Code:



if ($avatarurl=="" or ($bbuserinfo[userid]>0 and !($bbuserinfo[showavatars]))) {

                        $post[avatar]="";

                } else {

                        eval("\$post[avatar] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_avatar")."\";");

                }

REPLACE IT WITH:

Code:



if ($avatarurl=="" or ($bbuserinfo[userid]>0 and !($bbuserinfo[showavatars]))) {

                        $post[avatar]="{imagesfolder}/avatars/noavatar.gif";

                } else {

                        eval("\$post[avatar] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_avatar")."\";");

                }

NEXT FIND:

return '';

Note: '' is ' ' not "

CHANGE IT TO:

return "{imagesfolder}/avatars/noavatar.gif";
