Well, with over 200 downloads and 32 problem free install's, I though it time to take this out of the beta hacks forum (note, there are no changes to the file in the beta forum, so no need to re-download if you already have the hack installed).

I put this together originally as a walkthrough for an admin friend, and thought someone might find it useful. Althouth technically, my contribution is a couple of simple template edits, it does contain hacks posted previously.

Like I said, it's a combination of 2 previously relesed hacks (both credited fully). One by Firefly (avatar hack) and one by MrLister (since your last visit). It combines both of these hacks into a welcome panel at the top of the BB, just like the one here and on a few other sites. I'm pretty much a newbie to vB hacking, and struggled to put this together myself (couldn't find any instructions/hacks etc), but I think I've done an OK job. Maybe this will save a few headaches to others like myself

Anyway, here's a pic to illustrate the hack/edit (or whatever it is

)

You can see a working verion of this hack here:

The Genome Collective

Thanks to Firefly and MrLister for providing the PHP hacks in this err, whatever

(BTW, if this is in the wrong forum, please (mods) feel free to move it)

Happy Christmas everyone.

here it is:

edit: updated version number to 2.2.6 because it works

There are no changes to the files - it's not a new release. Thanks. /edit

Very nice hack.

Just installed a little moded version, cause I have a board in german language.

Does anyone have the guestavatar.gif and noavatar.gif in german?

RoadDog · #54 01-09-2002, 05:10 AM

My first mod to the board and it looks great.
thanks man,

this hack is really cool, the problem is, that i installed the "custom avatars as files"-hack, and now the query to take the avatar from the db goes to data hell as the avatars arent in the db anymore...

im a bloody newbie in php, so u see any chance to tell me what the correct code would be to locate the avatars in the images/customavatars directory?

thanks in advance

Well I installed it by the book, but it doesn't show anything....
I am running vbulletin 2.2.1 It's here

Help anyone?

You're the first one with a problem. You can't have done the template edits - otherwise at the very least you would have a new welcomepanel box at the top of your forum.

Make sure you edit your forumhome template, as instructed - redo it that is almost certainly where the problem is.

Stretchr · #59 01-16-2002, 05:52 PM

Works perfectly here. Great documentation- no problems at all on install. Thank you!
