very nice :) Thanks!

No, sorry.. it's not a per user thing. It's either on or off for the site.

Quite a shame actually. Would be great if it would be on by default, but the user given the ability to disable it.

Lovely mod.

Looks good, one question though:

Does this mod respect the usercp option to disable viewing avatars?

i.e. If the user has chosen to disable avatars for their account, does this mod still display the avatars or something else?

I would like to set it to 100% all the time, but I could not find the "opacity:0.6" in the dpta.css template. Has this been changed?

I had thought about making it a per user setting, but then I decided to go a more flexible route (which I haven't implemented quite yet). I'm going to have the system read a $show variable for it. That way a site owner could make a simple plug-in to hide it based on any logic they want (could be a setting they have via a custom profile field... or maybe by user group, or per style, etc.)

It does because the system does not really consider it an avatar at that point, there would need to be a setting to disable thread icons for something like that to work. But that being said, see response above, because you will be able to disable it based on any logic you see fit (such as the user setting to disable avatars).

Ick... My apologies, I thought I had moved that to the CSS, but after checking, it's still in the template_compile plug-in. As a quick fix, go into that plug-in, and there are two places that "opacity:0.6" exist... just change them to "opacity:1". Then go to AdminCP -> Maintenance -> Update Counters -> Compile Thread Avatar Templates

I've since moved that styling to the CSS file (for real this time), so it will be there for the next version.

Changed for 1.03...

• Moved opacity CSS to dpta.css template
• Overlayed lock icon spills out of thread icon a bit
• Added $template_hook['thread_avatars'] so you can add custom things to the thread icon
• Added ability to disable add-on on a per page generation basis via $show['hide_thread_avatars'] variable

Since I'm sure someone will ask how to make a custom setting that users can use to disable Thread Avatars just for themselves, you can go to AdminCP -> User Profile Fields -> Add New User Profile Field

Choose the "Single Selection Radio Buttons" option. These are the settings I use for digitalpoint.com:

An important thing to note is what the internal field ID is for your new setting. In my case it's 21... so in the plug-in, we are reading field21.

Create a new plug-in like so (do NOT pick the Thread Avatars as the product since it would get overwritten on an update):

You now should have a setting that users can set in their UserCP settings that allows them to toggle Thread Avatars on/off.

You can use a similar plug-in to set the $show['hide_thread_avatars'] variable to "true" for other things if you want (per style, per usergroup, etc.)

An example of the sort of thing you could do with the new hook location...

On digitalpoint.com, premium members can see the "true country" of a poster... I extended it a bit so premium members show the flag of the country the thread starter is in. I made it so the flag only shows when you mouseover the thread (that way it's normally hidden so it's not too obnoxious).
