April Fools Joke

Would this coding still work in vb 3.8.x?

just add something like $newavatar = mt_rand(1, 10); in postbit_display_start hook, (if you have 10 random avatars to display)

and the in the postbit, change the avatar to <img src="avatarlocation/image_$newavatar.gif">

I want to have avatars randomly change.

Should do.

That's what I did last year.

In a hugely replublican/conservative forum, I replaced user avatars, with democrat/liberal politicians and celebrities, with some funny messages as user ranks.

It proved to be a great prank.

No need to do any template edits. Just do it all in a plugin:

PHP Code:

$newavatar = rand(1,20);
$this->post['avatarurl'] = "avatarlocation/image_$newavatar.gif"; 


You may want to set the width/height also ( $this->post['avwidth'] = 'width="100"'; etc... )

Would this work with 4.1.2?

Hey,

it's a plugin, right? What Hook Location I must select?

//edit: Nevermind, is something like this for vb 4???

Just use postbit_display_complete.

It's just php, so it works with 3.x and 4.x

How do you make a plugin?
