What's the easiest way to restrict this only to certain forums?

I also would like to see this work with avatars stored in the file system.

This mod is definitely encouraging new thread creation; most of my members have pictures of their faces as their avatars, so I think they like seeing their faces on the threads page! I also made the default image a flower, so I think it's prompting new male members to customize their avatars. The only problem is the lack of avatars from the file system; I have some great custom art made as avatars on my forum, which I'm really proud of. But it looks so weird to have gaps on the threads page that some have switched back to having no avatar instead of getting their picture up. And from the user perspective, it just looks broken.

I don't know how difficult it is to call the avatars from the file system, but can we at least have a default image for those people in the meantime? (Personally I'd like it to be a different image from the default image currently in use, so at least they'd stand out from the newbies.)

Where is this aucun_avatar.gif I am supposed to upload?

[Soliloquy]

It wasn't included; I believe you're supposed to use your own file and name it aucun_avatar.gif.

[Tom_S]

No..actually I found the critter. It is that little green bird with the screenshots LOL

[Soliloquy]

I've noticed that when members change their avatar the old one is still displayed on forumdisplay. Any way to correct this?

Also, have you seen the Sender Avatar In Private Message List mod? It does almost the same thing except for the private messages list, and works with the filesystem. I thought maybe it would give you some ideas

[CrashPush]

I will try to get this one in my forum.

Is there ANY way I can use this on my forumhome?
I want to display the last poster's avatar and name instead of status icon on the forumhome.

I've asked on other forums and it seems noone is able to help me with this issue.
It HAS to be possible.

If anyone has any ideas please let me know... PLEASE.

I hope you meant to say forumdisplay and not forumhome because I whipped you up a little plugin you can use which will display the last posters username and avatar wherever you want in the forumdisplay (threadbit) so you can replace the statusicons with this.

Basically will do the same as the original hack but instead displays the last poster and avatar. It's 7:40 am and I'm tired as crap so I didn't make it pretty and didn't even make it a product file.

It works with custom avatars, filesystem avatars, and forum stock avatars. If your users do not have an avatar it will display the noavatar.gif that you will need to upload to your misc image directory.

I'm not hi-jacking this thread and I am offering 0 support. You just seemed desperate for a modification like this so I thought I'd be nice. I might release it as it's own hack if there's a demand.

On a side note, I sent the original author a new copy of his hack which worked with filesystem and db avatars back in May but I guess he opted not to release it *shrug*

Anyway xcingix, you can download your own personal mod here

Only thing I can think of that may suck for you is if you're using table prefixes, think I forgot to add that to a couple lines in the first query because, well, I'm tired

I want to give the users the possility to choose, maybe they want it or maybe not...

So I added the following code:

<if condition="$post[field9] == Ja">$avatar</if>

And the Profile-Field (field9) With the options Ja (Yes) and Nein (No).
But it doesn't work... evan if I choose yes.
