Avatar Opacity for online / offline
 

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=64606

Another template edit turned hack.

So here is the idea, when a user is online the avatar would be just like a regular avatar when they are offline the avatar would be faded
Well for the postbit its very simple as the online varible is already there

youll need to find
and replace it with

Feel free to change the code in red, this is the level of opacitiy

Next will be the online / offline avatar for the memberslist :)
well sadly i forgot somthing because from time to time i need to remember im not a php coder, at this time i have not figured out how to get this to work in the memberlist yet, however i will keep working at it ^^

hmmm I was doing this myself on vB 2 but it required a hack iirc, its a cool trick.

Yea well the postbit status is not the hardone, but now that i think & look at it, i dont think there is a way to get it to work on the memberlist sadly :(

Is indeed a cool trick.

Doesn't matter about the memberlist, doesn't have to show online/offline status for a person. They can look in the postbit. :p

ME and boofo were talking about it at vB.org :) however (moves) its in the right place now :)

This works great except ... all avatars opacity is reduced, not just those that are offline. How can I screw up one line of text pasting? :D


??

I'm finding the same ... and doing some debugging, it looks like the variable $onlinestatus does not exist in postbit - it's there in the postbit_onlinestatus, but not in postbit (I tested this by adding to the postbit, and it rendered Any ideas ?

Well, that is odd O.o it should work by all means, ill go and see why its not

<wonders off>

It´s not working for me either. Should it also work on vB 3.01 ?

I'll test it out, I've been looking for this anyway. :)

Indeed, it's not working...

Yes i know, ive thought of a way to redo it so it all works, sadly the varible gets unset during the process and isnt avabile to the postbit template :(

What about putting the avatar in the Online / Offline template and replacing the avatar code with the Online / Offline code?

Youll see, i just need some time to work on it :)

Ok, I can't wait. :)

hack didn't work for me :(

Bah didnt work :(

Use an else statement

Basically say
if condition = online Then
show avatar ful
else
show avatar with opacity
End if

^^ that is VB(Visual Basic) sayntax :P but try doing it with php.

I need to recode part of it, ill update this tomorow

Well, i kind of re-did your hack...and using it for my site.
