Currently Active Users' Avatar
 

I take NO credit for this as it is just a modification of amykhar's wonderful plugin "Show an Avatar on Who's Online Above the Username".

I had to modify amykhar's mod for a board I admin. In my forum, small headshots of the user are used as avatars and everyone knows each other by face (it is a local sorority type group). If you hover over the avatar, the name will show up and link you to that member's profile.

Thus, instead of the user's name under Forumhome > What's Going On > Currently Active Users, you see the member's avatar.

Nice hack. Definitely not for large boards though.

Nice hack, although I agree that this won't be such a good idea for users with particuarly active forums.

Installed, looks great! (Small forum here.)

EDIT: Quick question; how do we get rid of the comma that separates each avatar? It would look better without the comma.

Quickie suggestion/request: I'd love to see the same thing, but for "Today's Birthday's" just underneath. In that case, ideally I'd be able to retain the user name:

Avatar - Name (Age)

does anyone know where the birthday template or bit is located? i can try to see if i can make it work if i can only find where it calls that information.

I thought it was in FORUMHOME?

nope. it calls a variable like $birthdaybits or something like that. but i'm not sure where that is.

to remove commas

Just be sure to replace the comma with a space and not delete it.

Could this be amended so it shows the users avatar only when the mouse is moved over the person's name on the current online users list?

That would make it useful for very active forums. But then again it would call for another thing from the DB.

that would be way cool. however, that type of coding is way beyond me. :knockedout:

thank you been looking for this.

i'm trying to put a module together to be displayed on the side of all my forums and everything else... that looks like in my attachment.

i could figure it out if your plug-in would work on vbadvanced regular who's online module, but it doesn't in my case. any help?

my vbadvanced file is in my forum root folder, how come it doesn't show any avatars online? i just get red crosses.

Very nice hack indeed! ;)

Is it possible to put the users name after their avatar?

...or maybe, more nicely, underneath it?

any info on this?

What happen whith the members without an avatar in internet explorer?
I have corrupt images as an avatar..
Any suggestions?

Btw nice job men :)

still lovin this!

Nevermind. I got it.

Very nice.

Anyone got this working on 3.8?
