Avatar for Guest Usergroup

I have been searching all over and can not find the solution, tried to add few conditionals to postbit legacy without any luck.
I need to find a way to set one avatar image for unregistered/guest posts.
I tried using a ranks, but ranks do not show on the guest posts
any ideas?

I also see this question unanswered many times in this forum

Thats because guests should never be allowed to post as 99% are spam bots

This is untested however..

Edit your "postbit" or "postbit_legacy" template..
Find these lines:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$post.avatarurl">

        <img src="{vb:raw post.avatarurl}" alt="{vb:rawphrase xs_avatar, {vb:raw post.username}}" />

<vb:else />

        <img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/unknown.gif" />

</vb:if>

And change it to this:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$post['usergroupid'] == 1">

        <img src="http://something/guestavatar.jpg" />

<vb:else />

        <vb:if condition="$post.avatarurl">

                <img src="{vb:raw post.avatarurl}" alt="{vb:rawphrase xs_avatar, {vb:raw post.username}}" />

        <vb:else />

                <img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/unknown.gif" />

        </vb:if>

</vb:if>

i tried the above code and it did not work, it looks like vbuletin does not keep unregistered posts as part of any usergroup, when I look at my unregistered usergroup, it has zero members and when I assign a rank to that group it does not show in postbit,

i do not agree with it, and that is why I am looking for a solution.

Try changing,

Code:

<vb:if condition="$post['usergroupid'] == 1">

To this:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$post['usergroupid'] == 0">

Or this:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$post['usergroupid'] == ' '">

Thanks i will try, I was thinking about using less than 2? What would be the code for it?

@ozzy, thank you so very much, it worked with "0", now I need the code to resize it.

Maybe this:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$post['usergroupid'] <= 1">

Got it working, thank you so much @ozzy47

This is my final code:

<vb:if condition="$post['usergroupid'] == 0">
<center> <img src="http://path/images/avatars/guestavatar.jpg" /> </center>

works like a charm

They didnt ask for your opinion of whether guests should post.

If you cannot help then perhaps you should move on, not post unhelpful remarks.

Its not unhelpful its a fact everyone here will agree if you allow guests to post then most will be spam bots
