Show User's Avatar in Navbar v1.1

This is my first plugin for vB. It took me awhile to figure things out, but, once I polished it down, it was a piece of cake. If you encounter any problems or have any suggestions, please let me know, thanks!

IF YOU HAVE VERSION 1.0 INSTALLED, please update to the most recent version (1.1). This is because of a necessary bugfix needed to prevent users who do not have avatars from having image problems!

-------------------

[3.5.x] Show User's Avatar in Navbar

Designed and Coded by: Thorne N. Melcher ("Frag")
Version: 1.1 (released 6/14/05)
Screenshots: 1; included in the .zip file.
Description: This hack will display the user's avatar next to the "Welcome, {username}" message in the navbar at the top of every page. If there is no user presently logged in, the plugin will not bother to query the database, and the avatar will not display.
Plugin ?2005 The Whispering Realms Studios.

Performance and Installation Specs
Supports vB versions: 3.5.x
New Queries: 1 per pageload, IF the user is logged in.
New Hook Calls: 1 (global_start)
New Files: 1 (/images/misc/noavatar.gif)
Template Modifications: 1 ('navbar')
File Edits: none

Included Files

avatar_on_navbar.xml - Plugin file

README.html - Installation instructions.

screenshot.jpg - Screenshot of the plugin in action.

/UPLOAD/images/misc/noavatar.gif - Default "No Avatar" image.

Version History
v1.1 (6.14.05) - A bug was indentified where, if the user viewing the page did not have an avatar uploaded/selected, it would try to display his or her avatar anyway.
New files: /images/misc/newavatar.gif
Changed files: /avatar_on_navbar.xml

v1.0 (6.14.05) - The first public release, complete with all necessary features.

Please click "Install" if you decide to use this plugin! Thank you!

Very nice! Have been wanting something to make the navbar look a little less boring for some time. Will surely install when I make the leap to 3.5. :)

Yes, very nice! This will come in handy when i upgrade to 3.5.

Also would be nice to have new & subscribed posts below the private messages.
Just a thought!

Thanks!

nice

You could get rid of that one query per page by simply adding:

PHP Code:


		
			
define('AVATAR_ON_NAVBAR', 1);

to the /includes/config.php file

That would take away the point of this being a "plugin" though ;)

Exactly, but you its always better to avoid adding unneeded queries. ;)

I would release my version of this hack in the coding section if fraghappy doesnt mind. :)

I'll create a plugin based off of this called "Navbar Plus" or something. Look for it later tonight/early tomorrow.

I'm really uptight about people stealing my work and not giving me credit. Thank you for asking, that really makes the difference to me. Please, in your post on vB.org and in the hack, please give mention of both me and this hack. I really don't mind people editing what I do, that's what's nice about open-source language. I'm just glad that you aren't going to steal me work and take the credit. :D Go for it!

When the user logged in doesn't have an avatar set, it shows that lovely red x box, would there be anyway to set it to go to a certain say, No Avatar Selected Image, if the user doesn't have an avatar set?

Very nice.

Suggestions:
* smaller image size that fits to navbar & nice blue border: <img ..... height="37" border="1">
* put image and text more together: <table cellpadding="1" ...>

Also, I didn't like the way the avatar was positioned, it stretched my forum's header too much, instead of the html provided for the "navbar" template, I placed the avatar in a seperate table. For whatever reason the avatar was displayed above the userinfo, instead of beside it. So I used this html:

HTML Code:

        <if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid']">

                <td class="alt2" valign="left" nowrap="nowrap">



<a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editavatar"><img src="$navbar_ava[0]" alt="Your avatar" border="0" /></a></td>

<td class="alt2" valign="right" nowrap="nowrap">

                <div class="smallfont">

                        <strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]">$vbphrase[welcome_x]</phrase></strong><br />

                        <phrase 1="$pmbox[lastvisitdate]" 2="$pmbox[lastvisittime]">$vbphrase[last_visited_x_at_y]</phrase>

                        <if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>

                </div>

                </td>

I've also attached a screenshot of what my html looks like on the navbar.

Thanks again for the hack, Frag.

I would like to use your code but I get this error:

Code:

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:



Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/mholtum/public_html/test/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3515) : eval()'d code on line 181



This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

He missed an </if> at the end of his code. Add it in, and it should work. ;)

Not sure why, but all I'm getting for this is the following. My other admin says its working fine for him though.

Is there something like this for 3.0.x? Don't seem to find anything on searching.

Hmm... could it perhaps be a browser issue? Do you use Firefox or Internet Explorer? Once I track down the problem, I release v1.2. After that, though, I probably won't work on this plugin much more, as I'm going to make it one of the features in a more advanced plugin that I'm developing.

Nope. As far as I know, it is an original idea.

Strange, I have just that one </if>, my template gave no code errors. Hmm...

Yes, actually there is a hack that was just recently released based off of this plugin.

Use the directions, here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=668118
But be sure to take a look at this post, to see how to make it work for 3.0.x.:

That shouldn't have anything to do with this hack, as it doesn't change any of the 'showthread' variables.

You have to undo the template modifications, because it's still searching for the picture in the navbar. I'm expanding this plugin into a "Navbar Plus" plugin, so I'll try to fix some of these issues then. It would help if I had a bit more information about your forum to understand why it is giving you the red X, as it has worked on 95% of the forums that have installed it. ;)

OK I can't display an image, all that comes up is "Your Avatar" - which is the image alt.

Cool plugin, works nice.

One question, when using vBadvanced, the homepage uses navbar, but the avatar will not show. I'm assuming because there's a variable that's not set when using the vBa based page.

Throughout the vB pages it works fine, though.

Any way you can let me know how to define the variable for vBa or hack it to work? I'll start playing with things in the mean time.

I'm afraid I had to uninstall this one :(

I'm rather liberal with my avatar sizes (150 X 150 and 150KB), and it left a HUGE blank space between my two navbars that just didn't look right. Is there a way of making the script resize the avatar to a smaller size? I would still like to use this product :)

Just add the td and img style attributes and edit as desired.

I'm stuck with the same issue. I can't get the avatar to show on non-vb pages. Everything else works fine. This is an awesome hack. I've played around with these variables and I get DB errors if I change the fetch_avatar_url.

Quote:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])
{
require_once('./includes/functions_user.php'); //make sure we have the function we need
$navbar_ava = fetch_avatar_url($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']);
if (!is_array($navbar_ava))
{
$navbar_ava[] = $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . "/images/misc/noavatar.gif";
}
}

If anyone figures this out, PLEASE post it!
