Want to show user image on the header of every page
When a user is logged into my site I want to show their avatar in the header of every page.
I thought it would be a simple matter of retrieving user image from some global variable but after looking at the avatars in the forum, which have src attributes like "image.php?u=1&dateline=1312310668" and did some debugging with netbeans and I can see it is more complicated than that and the avatars are retrieved using the image.php script. I have inserted a template_hook.user_pic into my header template and I have a plugin that registers the variable - $template_hook['user_pic'] = xyz All I am missing is the xyz. So how can I retrieve the image of the currently logged in user so I can replace the xyz with the users image? Cheers. |
I always cheat on stuff like that because it's hard to figure out. So in this case I went to includes/class_postbit.php and stole the code (and changed $post to $vbulletin->userinfo):
PHP Code:
putting that in parse_templates seems to work. And you also need a plugin on init_startup with: PHP Code:
Strangely, the code already has checks for AVATAR_ON_NAVBAR, but it seems to do nothing except load the avatar data into $vbulletin->userinfo[] (but it turns out to be what's needed to make this work). Anyway, then you should be able to use {vb:raw bbuserinfo.avatarurl} in a template. |
