User-set images for User Titles

[Deputy Cartman]

Recently I have decided to allow users on my vBulletin 3.7.4 forum who have a certain number of posts to be able to change their user titles. I've already granted them the ability to change the text, but I am having difficulty determining how to allow them to upload images and change that without the help of administrators. Could someone please tell me what would be the best way to go about doing this? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

That's a bigger project than it at first sounds because you will need to look at the size of the image to make sure it isn't too large. Are you using profile pictures? Because if not, you could just use those for the image since dimensions are checked for it. If you are, then basically you'll need to copy all the code used for uploading avatars/profiles and put your own dimenions in for them. You'll also have to probably modify the database to add a new table for this image (just like avatars, profile picts, and signature picts have their own tables).

Wow, thanks for the quick response.

Users do have the ability to set a profile picture. I was thinking about that and I thought that configuring vBulletin to display that image as their title should work, but I have no idea how to go about doing that. I do know a bit about MySQL and the like so, if I need to add a new table to the database my forum uses, I should be able to do that as well.

If you want to use the profile pictures as these images, the do a search here for a modification that allows you to use profile pictures instead of avatars in the postbit. That should give you the necessary code you need to make the profile picture available to you to use in the postbit. Then, you just basically need to put some sort of condition around the code in the plugin to only get the profile picture for certain users.
