Photo As Avatar
 

port of vb3 version, with mass-check feature.

This mod completely disables standard avatar functionality and generates avatars automaticaly from profile photos. That helps with 2 points:

• "Socialize" you forum. Real visitors likes to se their faces.
• Simplify usage. Many people don't understand, why they can upload pictures in 2 places, and what is the difference.

Also, this mod makes sexy rounded corners for avatar. It seems strange, but forum impression become much better. See attached images.

Features:

• Automatically generates avatars from profile photos
• Round corners for avatars
• PNG avatar format, compatible with any skin background
• Mass rebuild avatars via ACP
• Mass check/remove avatars from ACP (rebuild counters)

How to install:

• !!! ACP -> Avatars -> User Pictures Storage Type. Move to filesystem, if not.
• Upload files from appropriate folder and import product XML
• Go to ACP and change settings each group. Those are recommended:
  • 160х160px - profile photo size
  • 80x80 - avatar size
• Go to ACP -> Options -> User Pucture Options. Select corner rounding you like.
• Go to ACP -> Rebuild counders. Run "Rebuild avatars from photos"

This mod is developped here http://github.com/rcdesign/vb-photo_as_avatar . Patches are welcome.

PS. Screenshots from vb3 version, don't care.

Ups... sorry for mistake. Missed by accident. Fixed.

Go to ACP -> Options -> User Pucture Options. Set rounding you need. Check with new upload. If ok - rebuild avatars in ACP -> Maintenance -> Update Counters.

Updated mod description (how to install).

when i click the update counters "Rebuild Profile Photo Avatar Thumbnails"

come this

1. Have you uploaded all files from ZIP or only imported XML ?
2. Move avarats to file system, don't keep those in database.

hmm where can i say the vb .. filebase not database save for avatars ?

hmm
i have all files upload !

ACP -> Avatars -> User Pictures Storage Type.

I didn't checked mod with DB stirage - it's quite useless and make server load.

PS. Do the same for all.
ACP -> Attachments -> Storage type
ACP -> Groups -> Storage type
