[Dr.CustUmz]

i made that default img a smaller img (for easier testing) enabled the debug above the if condition and made a test account for anyone to see whats going on, oh and removed the big under construction overlay cause yall probally thought that was annoying lol (the point of it)

i have printed

<td class="forum bordl">
				
					<a class="forumh_cat" href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><b>$forum[title]</b></a>
				<br />	$lastpav -lastpav
<br />
$lastpavurl - lastpavur
<br />
$lastpid - lastpid
<br />
$getlastpname - lastpname
<br />
				</td>

in my forumbit lvl2 post

and have made a test account for anyone wanting to tinker with this to get a hands on (ahh i see whats going on kinda feel)

username: test
password: 123

sry for the trip posts, but i havent touched this code since yesterday, the code still stands as it did in post #12 and i cant believe i didnt notice it sooner but in forum categorie's it returns an error. and yes im sure its this plugin.

another bump*

i was looking over the code used in postbit and looking over the tables in the DB
heres one thing i noticed:

if the user has set their avatar, it creates a row for them in the table customavatar.

so what i need is an if condition saying if lastpid is in customavatar table then show avatar, else show default.

i started messing around with this, with no luck no matter what variation i tried. looking at the function_user file and i came up with

fetch_avatar_url($vbulletin->customavatar['lastpid']);

i think im on to something (i hope lol) i know such a noob lol, but i dont want to give up on this. Im going to keep toying with this but just thought id share in the mean time =)

heres how my code (kind of working) stands to this point

require_once('./includes/functions_user.php'); 
$lastpname = $lastpostinfo[lastposter]; 
$getlastpname = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT userid FROM ". TABLE_PREFIX ."user WHERE username = \"$lastpname\"");    
$lastpid = $getlastpname['userid']; 



var_dump($getlastpname);  
echo '<br>'; 

if ($lastpid) { 
   $lastpavurl = fetch_avatar_url($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']); 
} 
else { 
   $lastpavurl = ''; 
} 
if ($lastpavurl==''){ 
    $lastpav = "<img src='http://images.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/Batman-avatar-batman-233977_100_100.jpg' />"; 
} 
else{ 
    $lastpav = "<a href='member.php?u=$lastpid'><img src='image.php?u=$lastpid' alt='$lastpname Profile'></a>"; 
}

the

var_dump($getlastpname);  
echo '<br>';

is only their for debugging (which I really dont quite get yet =/ but i do see result in it lol

another update i came up with this garbage (which doesnt work at all) but maybe just maybe it will help someone in helping me lol

require_once('./includes/functions_user.php');
$lastpname = $lastpostinfo[lastposter]; 
$getlastpname = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT userid FROM ". TABLE_PREFIX ."user WHERE username = \"$lastpname\"");    
$lastpid = $getlastpname['userid'];  

$avatarinfo = $vbulletin->db->query_first_slave("SELECT user.avatarid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user
		LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "avatar AS avatar ON avatar.avatarid = user.avatarid
		LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "customavatar AS customavatar ON customavatar.userid = user.userid
		WHERE user.userid = \"$lastpid\"");
	
var_dump($avatarinfo);  
echo '<br>'; 	
		
		if (!empty($avatarinfo))
		{
			$lastpavurl = fetch_avatar_url($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']); 
		}
		else
		{
			$lastpavurl = '';
		}

if ($lastpavurl==''){ 
    $lastpav = "<img src='http://images.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/Batman-avatar-batman-233977_100_100.jpg' />"; 
} 
else{ 
    $lastpav = "<a href='member.php?u=$lastpid'><img src='image.php?u=$lastpid' alt='$lastpname Profile'></a>"; 
}

so what im TRYING to get it to do is check if there is a table row for the lastpid under customavatar table, if not then it will display the default image else use the image.

am i thinking about this the right way? is that a good start? wasnt there a plugin that already did this lmao.

and html/css is what im pro with, so adapting it would be no issue

BUT BUT BUT!
i would still like to get this functional (its end result would be the same) but the method completly different, and this is more of a learning curve for me, so it is something i would like to finish since i (we) started just to be able to say it was completed.
