Specify Avatar on Registration
 

This plugin just lets users upload their custom avatar on registration.

In the vB Options, you can choose to disable the URL or upload field (if you only want one or the other). The options are under 'User Registration Options'.



To Install
Install the product, then look in the attached install.txt for the template mod. You need to modify one template (register).



Avatar Permissions
Permissions (max width/height, filesize, animated etc) are gathered from the regsitered user groups permissions (usergroupid 2). To change them, just do it through the usergroup manager.



Updates

• May 14, 2006
  • Plugin now works for those who are storing avatars in the filesystem. Thanks to chatbum for identifying the issue.

Note: If the user chooses an invalid image, the image won't be uploaded but the user won't see any error notices. This is due to the way vB handles registration and the way the uploads are handled, I coudn't find a way to insert error checking. Image errors are only checked on upload, which also binds the image to the user account at the same time. So I couldn't call it and check for errors before the user existed... If you find a way, let me know ;)

Looks brill-

*installs* :)

Good job Chroder! :D And thanks for sharing.
