Staff Avatars?
 

Didn't see this posted in a different thread, but in case I missed it, sorry!

Are you guys manually creating the new avatars for staff members that has their old avatar within it, or have you automated it with some type of plugin?

They are manually created.

lol, i was wondering the same thing!

They're begging us, "Please make it into a plugin! Feed us code! Get us cool avatars! ARGHHHHH!"

* bonus points for whomever can tell me what movie I based that quote off of :)

That quote was from a movie? What kind of a movie would mention 'plugins' and 'avatars'?

"based that quote off of"

Yes, I bastardized the quote. Replace " make it into a plugin", "code", "cool avatars" with other words, and it's spot on.

Ya that would be easy.

Create a table in the postbit to hold the "badge" image and create a small cell where each member's 50x50 avatar shows up. The "badge" would be a background image. It would overlay 1 image over another.

You could make <if> / <else /> statments to change the "badge" image based on usergroup access. You could put the dynamic forum username over the "badge" with some HTML markup.

You could also make it a .png file and have the data add the avatar to that area...

I will probably make this into a hack for staff usergroups in the future. good idea!
