Default Avatar if None is Selected
 

Please note I will NOT provide support for this hack as it is not mine, I am posting it because I made a request for it and I thought it would be nice to be available for those who wanted to use it. I made one small modification to it but other than that its Copyright 2002 to Neo.

FIND In admin/functions.php

PHP Code:

---

        if ($post[avatarid]!=0) {
            $avatarurl=$post[avatarpath];
        } else {
            if ($post[hascustomavatar] and $avatarenabled) {
                $avatarurl="avatar.php?userid=$post[userid]&dateline=$post[avatardateline]";
            } else {
                $avatarurl="";
            }
        }
        if ($avatarurl=="" or ($bbuserinfo[userid]>0 and !($bbuserinfo[showavatars]))) {
            $post[avatar]="";
        } else {
            eval("\$post[avatar] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_avatar")."\";");
        } 


---

AND REPLACE WITH

PHP Code:

---

        if ($post[avatarid]!=0) {
            $avatarurl=$post[avatarpath];
        } else {
            if ($post[hascustomavatar] and $avatarenabled) {
                $avatarurl="avatar.php?userid=$post[userid]&dateline=$post[avatardateline]";
            } else {
                $avatarurl="http://www.domain.com/forum/images/avatars/default.gif";
            }
        }
        if ($avatarurl=="" or ($bbuserinfo[userid]>0 and !($bbuserinfo[showavatars]))) {
            $post[avatar]="http://www.domain.com/forum/images/avatars/default.gif";
        } else {
            eval("\$post[avatar] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_avatar")."\";");
        }

Now you will see that part that I edited. The blank $avatarurl.
Now you can change the path within the one that contains $avatarurl="http://www.domain.com/forum/images/avatars/default.gif"; to any path you want. Just dont touch the other two with parses the avatars on the site.

Thanks again Neo and also hellsatan for his nice input!

Thanks for the recognition.

*Installed* :)

It does not work on 2.28?

It should do:)

Satan

No reason for it not to work with 2.2.8, however this only covers the postbit and not the numerous other places avatars appear.

works for me on 2.2.8 on posts, anit checked other parts

Great Friends

Ok i know this is a really old hack but if the author is still around please update the first post and put the hack instructions in a textfile :)

Thanks

Guests cannot see contents of [php] and [code] tags in any case. :) But it is recommended to put instructions in a text file.

This works well unless you turn avatars off in your profile. Then it shows the link to the avatar and takes up half the width of the page. :D

Any fix??
