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.

Admin CP under vBulletin Options -> User Picture Options -> Default Avatar Image Location.

Replace it with images/misc/noavatar.gif. If its already that, change it to forums/images/misc/noavatar.gif

Copy paste what you put in the field.

This would be a great mod, if it would randomize the default avatar

Yah it is a great add-on :up::up:

I've downloaded the XML file, but I'm not sure where in my vBulletin database to put it?

I've been using this great mod, but I noticed that the default avatar is not resizing correctly in the profiles (see "Friends" block on right in link below). How can I get this sized correctly?

The default avatar on the friend's block is actually not done by this addon, it's done by default. Disable the product and notice that it'll still show there. Not sure how to get it to resize it properly, but that's out of the scope of this addon.

One way I can think of is to resize the current unknown.gif, and then reupload the full-sized version as a different name. Then, change the "default avatar location" setting provided by this product.

I noticed earlier when a member who hadn't selected their avatar placed a comment that the default avatar was again larger than the 'normal' after installing this mod. So, both the friend block and the 'visitor message' are not within the scope of this addon.

I'll attempt your fix as long as everything will work for me as it should

Downloaded updated to include the vB4 thread as the "homepage" of the product and added a version check URL. Nothing else changed. The same product will function on both vB3 and vB4.

The product XML files for these mods are usually uploaded via the AdminCP's "Plugins and Products" / "Manage Products" / "Add-Import Product" feature. Hasn't anyone assisted you with this yet?
