Dramatar Avatars! The More Dramatic, Dynamic Avatar
 

This plugin allows you to quickly and easily use Dramatars as your default avatar for members within your postbit, profiles and members list. This works on vB4 and should work on vB3.7+ as well.

Dramatars are a whole new style of dynamic avatars, much like Monster ID and etc but with a new flare. There are several types of Dramatars available to choose from, all of which are dynamically generated based on your end users email.

This plugin also places nicely with Gravatar and makes use of it by default. If ever your end users have a Gravatar set up, it will be displayed instead of Dramatars. Or if you choose, you may opt to only display Dramatars!

Dramatar Types:

Reserved. :)

No feedback so far? See it got a low rating from someone. Kind of curious as to why. If you'd like to expand on your rating in a comment, that'd be great! :)

I love hearing feedback, either good or bad. So long as it's productive, it's all good.

Do you can make a screenshot of options?

Kraxell, added a screen shot for you of the options page as well as some others. Everything from Dramatar Type down are plugin settings.

Haven't installed yet, although it looks very promising.

If you have any feedback or ideas, please feel free. Still much more to do on the site and service itself though, too. Have more Dramatar styles planned, plus the whole parts submission system so artists can submit their own pieces such as hair, hats and whatnot.

Anyway, enough rambling. :)

It didn't add any options to my avatar edit page, I just see my pre defined avatars and there's a link to your site that makes the page twice as wide, is that the mod?

Here's a link to the screenshot, you may have to scroll over to see the whole thing:

Conehead555, thanks for pointing that out. I've fixed that format flub. There's nothing that the end user needs to do however to select an avatar. They're built by the site dynamically for each user, much like MonsterIDs.

To configure the plugin, go to Settings -> Options -> User Picture Options

There you can set the type displayed, what size it is and if you want to make use of Gravatars.

The plugin does not add avatars to the selection list. It changes the default avatar and displays automatically for any user who does not have an avatar chosen.

Let me know how it looks with the new version installed [allow overwrite on import] and if you have any further questions. :)

Installed, and working great.
