History
=======
One of the users on my board requested this earlier today, and rather than doing my uni work, thought I'd tuck into a bit of vBulletin.

Strange request, but it's interesting, and useful imo being able to browse through seeing who's using what.

All this hack does is display a list of your forum member's avatars.
Unlike v1.1, there is now only the one option; view only those with an avatar set.

This hack has not been tested on a large scale but worked perfectly on a local test installation of vB 2.3.2.

Working Example:
=================
At present, I do not have an online demo of version 1.2 of this hack working.
You can see version 1.1 of this hack working on my forums:
Xaprief Forum's Avatar Gallery.

Contents
=========
Contained in the .zip file are an example image, and instructions.txt (this file)
- instructions.txt -> Instructions for hack installation.
- example.gif -> Shows how the hack is used on the forum.

Use
====
Tested on vBulletin 2.3.2

Files to modify:
- memberlist.php

Templates to modify:

Estimated Install Time: 3 minutes.

Support:

heh nice, i might install this sometime

Cool idea, it beats what vB3 is currently trying to do by showing avatars within the memberlist page, which simply makes it look too cramped and a bit tacky. This works good though

[high]* Velocd clicks install

My only suggestion is to add the "memberlist" bar on the avatars page for searching through users by the first letter in their username.

Very nice! thanks!

Hwulex · #6 02-08-2003, 10:08 PM

Thanks for comments guys

Velocd: I did think about having that as well, but wasn't appropriate for the size of the forums that I run. I may add it if people would like, a good idea for larger forums I suppose

Nice forums there mate btw. I see you've also got my forum rules update installed too, cheers

Looks great. Going to install it soon.

ETA: Looks perfect! *clicks install*

I get this message when I try to click on a member's profile through the gallery.

Quote:

This user has not registered and therefore does not have a profile to view.

Clicking mods profile works okay for me. Any idea what's wrong?

Hwulex · #10 02-09-2003, 11:04 PM

Well spotted, cheers WitchyT.

After looking at my own, what seems to be happening is it doesn't have the $userid set on the end of the link. I'll take a look now why not.
Clicking anyone that has an avatar works, but those that don't, doesn't. Strange.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
