Mini Mods - Default Avatar

This plugin will make a default avatar show for all users if the user does not have an avatar. This works in the postbit, profiles, and members list. It uses the image "images/misc/unknown.gif" by default, which is used in several locations for the same purpose, and works on vB 3.7+ and vB4. This is editable in the Admin CP under vBulletin Options -> User Picture Options -> Default Avatar Image Location.

Updates:

• 1.0 - 3.5 release by Zachery - unsupported.
• 2.0 - Initial 3.7+ release.
  • 2.0.1 - Slight bugfix relating to users disabling avatar display. This setting does not affect avatars on the profile or memebers list by default, so this addon should not take it into account for those pages.
  • 2.0.2 - Added a setting to control the location of the image. See the updated description for details.

This works for vBulletin 4.0 as well as 3.7+. vB4 thread located here.

Nope, just remember that you'd have to do it again if there was another update released. Of course, this is one of those addons small enough that I can say that I am confident that it won't need another release.

Nope. Very simple plugins of 3-4 lines each. Just simple conditional statements.

Can this be modified so i can use .png files instead of .gif files?

I have made a custom unknown avatar but it has to be in png format, due to the rarity of my skin, as it is the only one of it's kind in the world.........

I just pushed out another update to this - 2.0.2: "Added a setting to control the location of the image. See the updated description for details."

The option in question is located in the Admin CP under vBulletin Options -> User Picture Options -> Default Avatar Image Location. If you want to change it from the default image to something else, that will be where you should do it.

As of the latest update that I just uploaded, yes. See the above post.

Thank you works great 100%.

It updated like a charm. I wasn't sure how the default icon location would work, so before uploading and installing the 2.02 update I edited the icon file name and path to match my criteria. I like that it now lists the option in the AdminCP for the default icon, so it can easily be changed at will. Thanks!

Maybe the ZH - No Avatar works different than this.
It shows on most pages i believe.
