Plugin to check for members avatar in footer

Hi folks,

I'm coding a side column in the footer template and I want to show the members avatar at the top. I can't use the code from the postbit templates because they don't parse in the footer.

I can use this to show the avatar (avatars are stored in the filesystem):

HTML Code:

<div align="center">

<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$bbuserinfo[userid]"><img src="customavatars/avatar$bbuserinfo[userid]_$bbuserinfo[avatarrevision].gif" alt="$bbuserinfo[username]'s Avatar" /></a>

</div>

But if a member doesn't use an avatar you get the red cross and it looks crap.

So I need a conditional to check for an avatar before trying to show it. The following don't work:

Code:

<if condition="$show['avatar']">

<if condition="$avatarurl">

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

So I'm guessing I need to create a plugin to check for this.

Can anyone help please?

Thanks! :)

The "proper" way to fetch the current user's avatar and display it is by using the "AVATAR_ON_NAVBAR" constant and fetch_avatar_from_userinfo(). Bring out a mass search tool and search for the constant, you will see how it all ties together.

(BTW, I've also posted this in many other threads before, you may want to search for those threads as well.)

Thanks for the direction Dismounted. I have searched for those terms and I see that it's what I'm looking for but my knowledge of PHP is limited and I'd appreciate it if you could help me further please?

Thanks! :)

Set the constant to true, and run fetch_avatar_from_userinfo() to fetch the avatar URL.
