April Fools Joke

Would this coding still work in vb 3.8.x?

Code:

just add something like $newavatar = mt_rand(1, 10); in postbit_display_start hook, (if you have 10 random avatars to display)



and the in the postbit, change the avatar to <img src="avatarlocation/image_$newavatar.gif">

I want to have avatars randomly change.

That's what I did last year.

In a hugely replublican/conservative forum, I replaced user avatars, with democrat/liberal politicians and celebrities, with some funny messages as user ranks.

It proved to be a great prank.

No need to do any template edits. Just do it all in a plugin:

PHP Code:


		
			
$newavatar = rand(1,20);
$this->post['avatarurl'] = "avatarlocation/image_$newavatar.gif";

You may want to set the width/height also ( $this->post['avwidth'] = 'width="100"'; etc... )

Would this work with 4.1.2?

Hey,

it's a plugin, right? What Hook Location I must select?

//edit: Nevermind, is something like this for vb 4???

Just use postbit_display_complete.

It's just php, so it works with 3.x and 4.x

How do you make a plugin?

Plugins & Products -> Add New Plugin
Product = vBulletin
Hook Location = postbit_display_complete
Title = Random Avatar
Execution Order = 5
Plugin PHP Code =

PHP Code:


		
			
$newavatar = rand(1,20);
$this->post['avatarurl'] = "avatarlocation/image_$newavatar.gif";

Save

avatarlocation is replaced with the path of your avatars.
I uploaded a bunch of avatars to a directory called funavatars.
Each avatar needs to begin with a number.
In this example, 1-20. image_x (x is the random number)

I was typing very fast.

I actually did a variation on this.

PHP Code:


		
			
$directory = rand(1,4);
$newavatar = rand(1,50);
$this->post['avatarurl'] = "images/funavatars/$directory/$newavatar.jpg";

I have 4 directories of avatars of 50 avatars each.
funavatars
..1
..2
..3
..4

Now I only wish I could add a conditional so it starts at midnight and ends at 11:59PM the user's time.

Awesome.

Did you have to resize all the images or will it do it auto?

I downloaded avatars that were all 100x100px. It won't resize the avatars.

Im missing something, no avatar is showing when i activate plugin.

images are in forums/customavatars/rice/

images are named 1_image_newavatar.jpg

plugin code is:

Code:

$newavatar = rand(1,32);

$this->post['avatarurl'] = "customavatars/rice/image_$newavatar.jpg";

But nothing. What am I over looking?

Could be your image name, shouldn't they be image_1newavatar.jpg, image_2newavatar.jpg, etc?

That did not seem to make a difference

--------------- Added [DATE]1301629440[/DATE] at [TIME]1301629440[/TIME] ---------------

Issue was it needs to read:

Code:

$newavatar = rand(1,32);

$this->post['avatarurl'] = "/forums/customavatars/rice/image_$newavatar.jpg";

Image has to be "image_#.jpg"

Some people don't have avatars, so it's not quite as funny as I'd hope.

But a serious bunch of guys with care bear avatars is funny stuff!

Just set $show['avatars'] to true in the plugin. :)

I've got random avatars and signatures on my site. The users are finding it pretty funny.

Okay, so how does this need to be written to pull random avatars from avatars already in the database?

I'd also would love a way to flip usernames upside down.

My members didn't say anything until I mentioned it.
Now they like it.
I may not remove it.

It may actually bring people back to see who their avatar is going to be next. :)
