Unique avatar
 

With this hack, you will be able to set if you want users to have a unique avatar or not. In fact, if you select yes in 'User Picture Options' in general options of vBulletin, if a user has selected an avatar, an other user will not be able to select the same.

This avatar will still appear in the list, but you will not be able to select it, and instead of its title, you'll see TAKEN to show it's already used.

Really easy to install : 5 min

Will this handle avatars already picked or only after the hack is installed?

Strange I do not have a avatar option here -> http://www.yourforum.com/admincp/options.php?dogroup=

@ryan : ............. the url is :
http://www.yourforum.com/admincp/opt...pix&do=options

and u have to replace yourforum by your site url ...


@boofo : Yes, it will handle avatars already picked

Hi VBDEV. I think he means "setting: group: avatars".

I dont see that option.

looks good

also vbdev u releasing some good hacks for vb3 :)

LOL i know that! What i mean is i don't have the option in my Admin CP! LOL

Ok, it's not Setting group : avatars but User Picture Options

I used the french version to code it and so the setting group was replaced with avatars, it changed nothing for you, just select this setting group

I update the txt

Oh, okay. :) One more thing: How do I get to the phrase manager?

In your admincp > languages and phrases > phrases manager ;)

I done it all (quite easy to do) and even have a few avatars already in the list but when i select one i get this

There has been an error in the upload. Please ensure that the file has been correctly selected and that the upload has taken place successfully

so it wont let me pick any avatars that are already there

/me will sit on sidelines see if anyone else gets same prob

I have the same problem.

Also, is there an option so that avatars that are chosen do not show on the list?

phew glad someone else got it means im not so thick afterall :)

Same Error. . .

There has been an error in the upload. Please ensure that the file has been correctly selected and that the upload has taken place successfully.

@lasto : someone has the same problem on our site, I don't know why, there shouldn't be problem updating avatars, I only touch to the SELECT query, can you please send me your profile.php file by email to grog6@tele2.fr so that I verify it ?!

Which vb version are you running ?

Diva is 3.0.0 RC4 ! and others ?

No, I'm running VB3Gold. It's on my test site right now. Why do you think I'm runing RC4?

I have just installed it on an other forum and I got the same error, I remove the hack, try to find the problem and put it back when it will be ok :-/

ok nps hope u get it sorted m8

For people who have already installed it, just do modifications in profile.php again with new modifications, it should be ok now :)

works i get no errors now :)
cheers

All works fine now :)

It works! Thank you, VBDEV.

I was wondering if you knew how to make it so that selected pictures just didnt show up. It had it on the older option and made load time easier if people just looked through the ones they could select.

To not display the avatar, replace your modifyavatarbit template with this one :

Sorry to be a pain... I meant that if someone selected it there wouldnt be a slot there.

Example:


Before someone selects AVATAR 2;

AVATAR 1 | AVATAR 2 | AVATAR 3

Afterwards:

AVATAR 1 | AVATAR 3

If it's too hard then this will be just fine.

Strange,
I get no errors but I can also select any avatar even if another member has it selected. And I do have use unique avatars selected in the options.

NIX THAT. Got it! Thanks a million!!

It should be really too hard to do this Diva, I began but stoped rapidly

Indeed, to do this you have to rebuild $perpage before the SELECT query and the time you would win to not display the pic , you lost it with the code which as to be modified ;)

The template's mod I gave you, improve your page's load by not displaying picture and it's no longer compared to sthg if the code had to be modifed to not display the template at all

Hurm, what I'm saying is quite confused, but it's really late (4h30), I'm quite tired and enough of vB for 6 mounths ^^

No worries, it's perfect. *hugs* I appreciate all of your help. :)

Can you make it so that it doesn't allow you to input anything at all instead of displaying 'taken' right next to an option. Some people are really airheaded and that will confuse them. :) At least on my site. lol At times they don't know how to get to the message boards... when it says "Forums" ... So I'm guessing this might cause a little confusion on mine. Just wondering... ;-)

Very nice..

I remember having this same thing on my phpBB board b4 i moved over to vB, nice to see you guyz got this one :D

**Click install

when in usercp, edit avars
http://www.denzoforums.com/forum/pro...?do=editavatar

Thanks
Dave
P.S. using 3.0.1

Anyone? I need some help with this..

Thanks
Dave

Hi Dave... Have you tried reinstalling?

Hack works great...thanks!

thanks for the hack, i was having some trouble with avatars showing up twice both with taken underneath them, so instead of trying to fix that, i just added the "show no avatar" with just the word "taken" instead

i am so lazy..

*clicks install

Is this 3.0.3 compatible? Having problems with this step:

In your browser, go to :

http://www.yourforum.com/admincp/opt...pix&do=options


Click Add setting and insert these values :

I can't seem to find the "Add Setting".....

Let me add that I did use my own domain addy: Here is the what I got:

http://www.goldenskate.com/avatar.jpg

@gsk8 .. you forgot to add the $debug =1; where it is written to do so...

You mean in the config.php? I did. Note the upper-left corner of the image.

Still unable to this step:

Click Add setting and insert these values :

*****************************

varname : avatar_unique
setting group : User Picture Options
title : Unique avatar ?
description : With this option you can choose if you want each member to have a unique avatar or not
Option code : yesno
Default : 0
Display order : 50
vbulletin default : yes

When I tye in the URL, I don't get an option to "Add Settings". This is what I get:
http://www.goldenskate.com/avatar.jpg

I will look into this right now on your server goldenskate :)
