vB4 Select/Upload Avatar on Registration
 

This mod will add a section for new users to select an avatar during registration
(see screenshots)

Features:
- Enable/Disable the Mod
- Set an Avatar Category ID to display avatars from
- Allow custom avatars to be uploaded
- Chnage the maxwidth,maxheight,maxsize and enable/disable GIFs for custom avatars
- Limit the amount of avatars to show
- Force the user to select an avatar to successfully register (Shows error if no avatar is selected)

How to find the "Avatar Category ID":
Go to admincp, in menu click "Avatars", then "Avatar Manager", click "Edit" near category you want to use, then you will be able to find ID of that category

Installation:
Simply import the XML and change the settings to your liking
Make sure to set an Avatar Category ID that exists or the avatars won't load properly

Remember to 'Mark as Installed' for support & updates!

I'd rather not have avs for them to choose as per see but be able to upload one direct from their computer of url as per the option you get within your user cp options.
If this possible to add to this mod?

It is possible, expect it in the next version :)

This could help with spambots too.

Please help me for category ID.

put your pointer on the avatar title it will show in the bottom of your browser

Installed and waiting for the next version

Waiting for the option to be able to upload a custom avatar!

Thanks!

It's possible to choose the "preview" size for all images on registration screen?

+1. :up:

preview size on registration would be great i agree...

Error 500
When avatar category id 1 is selected, Reg. page works and shows no avatars. When category ID 3 is set (mine has id 3), i see 500 error page on registration page. I tested it on 2 vbulletin boards.

Here is how to discover "Avatar Category ID":
Go to administration, in menu click "Avatars", then "Avatar Manager", click "Edit" near category you want to use, then you will be able to find ID of that category (on the top, usually "3").

Mod author: you shoud mention how to discover category ID in first post. Then this post can be deleted. thanks

As promised, the ability to upload/link a custom avatar has been added with version 2.0
Simply import the new XML (allow overwrite) to upgrade
Enjoy!

Thanks,
Nominated,
Now it is really a super mod,
but if don't think as disturbing little more changes also can be done.
Now you have given 3 options
can you change the order like below:
1. Choose from computer
2. Enter avar url
3. Select a category to display some predefined avatars from which you can select one.
a) Birds
b) Flowers
c) Animals
d) Electronics
(Listing the available categories) after selecting the categories
displaying the default number of Avatars in that category.
Thank you for the excellent mod.

will install these days

one question

will this mod work with this https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=294164

thank you

Wonderful hack. But one question, how to translate it to another language? The usual way doesn't work for me. :(

in this mod im little bit afraid spam bots will consume alot of traffic when they download alot avatar images on signup page.

Love it , Thank you

Must Have! Thanks Ninja!

Anyone please know where to edit phrasse "Please select an avatar" which appears on Registration page? I have forum in non english language andcant find in templates nor in phrasses.

That is located in the plugin, Render Avatars it is in there two times.

How i translated all plugin phrasses into another language
Its in XML installation file and then in datastore mysql table. When tried to edit in mysql, it told some invalid value error always. and from now on an error "Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in [path]/includes/init.php on line 313" appeared on every page. So what i did is edited XML file, just these lines:

Please select an avatar for your profile
Option 1 - Select a pre-defined avatar:

rest able to edit in Phrasse manager in vB

and reinstalled plugin with overwriting option enabled. My plugin setting remained as it was and it fixed the error and also now i have all phrasses in my language.

How hard would it be to make it require a profile photo on registration? I would love this even more.

Hi, could you tell me where to add I'll find the following:
-->Make sure to set an Avatar Category ID that exists or the avatars won't load properly?

Thank you

how can I do that is Random avatars?

Please read the first post (author of the Mod) there its described.

I'd finally figured it out. In all reality probably the simplest thing to install, but to my ignorance I just didn't realize I'd have to go to the 'Options' after after importing xml. :o

Thank you very much for replying! :up:

When trying to 'Upload Avatar' for generic avatars i got -

There was an error encountered with your upload:

Invalid File Path Specified

anyone testing works with 4.2.0 ???

Where would I need to go to modify the avatar registration so it only allows you to upload an avatar instead of selecting pre-defined ones.

Features:
- Enable/Disable the Mod
- Set an Avatar Category ID to display avatars from
- Allow custom avatars to be uploaded
- Change the maxwidth, maxheight, maxsize and enable/disable GIFs for custom avatars
- Limit the amount of avatars to show
- Force the user to select an avatar to successfully register (Shows error if no avatar is selected)

I did see this being asked before not sure if it is on the topic or not but I know it can be done

Installed and working correctly with vB 4.2.2.

Anyone know where I can change the text below? Would like to reword both lines.

Thank you.

Quick question, does anyone know how to activate the upload option in "user settings to upload any picture/avatar?"

As for the mod it works, now from my reading this plugin/mod will force new users to upload a avatar or they can't register?

Thanks,

go to Select Avatar on Registration Settings -->Allow Custom Avatars-->Yes

Is working for new user when register,but not in the regular do it later.

I just test with a new account and this plugin does not work in v4.2.3 , it work when you register and then if you go in the forum the avatar does not show up!
Is there in profile , but in the forum in a thread if you look is not show.

yes .. need to fix this .. not displaying avatar in forum.

Yes, Thanks... Disable for now.

But how to enable that uploading box in profile... not sure why is not there.

Uninstalled it..

Did you enabled it via options?

dont work in vb 4.2.3
