[1e2] Gravatar as Default Avatar for users without image: auto generate random avatar
Developer Last Online: Feb 2019
With this very sipmple plugin you can display a Gravatar icon as default avatar for users that don't have any avatar saved or selected. But if an user has its own avatar, this one will be used instead of Gravatar. So you can continue to use your forum's avatar system, and this plugin will be used only when an avatar is not present.
The Gravatar is unique and automatically genereted based on registration email address choosen by the user. And the avatar created is used in every other website that use this method, like Wordpress blogs. Users that are registered to gravatar.com can upload their avatar image so that every website that uses Gravatar will display the uploaded personal image! So you can save your personal avatar one time and have it spreaded everywhere Gravatar system is used. Images are hosted on gravatar.com website, so you don't have any increase to your server load or bandwidth. In this way every user (old users and new users) will have an avatar image, and to recognize the author of a post will be simplier for all because unique images are assigned to each one. Your forum will be more userfriendly and nice looking! How To 1- Go to Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> [Add/Import Product], then select the xml file downloaded, click Yes for Allow Overwrite and click Import button 2- Go to Settings->Options->User Picture Options and you will find three new option at the end of the page (see screenshot) where you can: * Choose the Gravatar Type (choose between different Gravatar icon):
* Choose the Gravatar Dimension from 1 to 512 pixel square (default is 80) accordingly to your theme. You must write only numbers without characters or punctuation (so for example 120 and not 120px nor 120,5). * Choose the Gravatar Dimension for your Sidebar from 1 to 512 pixel square (default is 30) accordingly to your theme. You must write only numbers without characters or punctuation (so for example 120 and not 120px nor 120,5). *- Choose the Gravatar Ratings. All images are rated default as "g":
Note: uninstall Geekydesigns default avatar hack to make work. A manual edit for 4 files is needed if you want gravatar also in Blog and in ForumHome Sidebar. It's a simple search and replace, you can do it in 1 minute. As soon as I have time, I will make automatic the manual edit and I will add gravatar support also for CMS. The plugin adds a footer link to author website as copyright mark, but I don't require you to keep it. To remove the copyright info just disable the plugin for footer link: go to Plugins & Products->Plugin Manager and search the plugins for Gravatar as Default Avatar and delete or disable the one named "Profile Hooks". Consider a donation if you do so. vBulletin 3.8 version, please, download HERE Changelog: v 1.0 Initial release v 1.0.1 corrected a bug that makes the gravatar all the same in user profile v 1.1.0 Added a rudimental menu option to choose gravatar type, dimension and ratings v 1.1.1 Improvements in option menu to prevent errors and make it easier v 1.1.2:

I can't understand you. You mean an option to let users to disable gravatars so that their avatar will be choosen from your custom images in your avatar directory?
So, for example, I didn't select an avatar on your board, so the avatar is choosen randomly from a directory of your images on your server. Is this what you are asking for? If so, this is not possible with my mod. |

That is a bullshit, everything is possible when you want, this would substantially improve the mod. Better to say you dont want to make it, rather than saying bullshit like that you dont understand and its not possible in this mod.

Definitly, what you are asking for is a complete different mod. I haven't the skill to do it. So, take some book about php, sql and html, learn it, and then do it by yourself. And don't waste my time offending me. Ok guy? I've made this mod for free, I don't want to use all my time to make just you happy. So don't pretend what you can't. |

Im not pretending, maybe You do. It is your thing, im just saying that what im wanting is making the script pick random avatar image from my vb forum folder and that many members would welcome this possibility. I just dont like saying "it is not possible in my Mod", you should say that you dont have time or you think it is not good idea. :-)

On my forum it is still working.
Sorry, I'm very busy and I haven't installed 4.2 yet, so if the problem is related to the latest version of VB I need to do tests, but I can't do it now. Please, be patient. Thanks |
