ok I'm back.

Use this to get you started:

<br />
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100" height="100" align="center">
<tr>
<td background="http://probetreffen.de/forum/images/ranks/btn_moderator.gif" nowrap="nowrap" no-repeat><center><img src="$post[avatarurl]" height="50" width="50"</center></td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />

I'm too tired to make this but it's interesting to say the least.

Here's what you do....

Create a 100x100 pixel image you'd like to use as a background. (replace my code http://probetreffen.de/forum/images/ranks/btn_moderator.gif with your background image)


This will give you a 100x100 background and a 50x50 avatar ontop of that, centered.

That's the easy part

Now for the hard part:

You have to set conditionals for usergroups.

If administrator > use this background image and his avatar
if moderator > use this image and avatar etc..

then another conditional where you say if usergroupid != "1" & !="2" etc (all the admin and mod groups)
display normal avatar.

Basically you're saying that if the user is a staff member, the normal avatar won't show up, but instead the background and his avatar will.

And if it's a normal user then just display the avatar.


It's really not that complicated but it's a little work. You should create a plugin and template to hold all the code and then call the variable within the postbit template.

I've attached a quick demo screenshot:

1st is the name, then the user rank, then the background and avatar, then the normal avatar.
