Mini Mods - Last Poster Avatar

Info

This mod ads last posters' avatars next to their names on Forumdisplay pages. I've just finished a section of one of my bigger mods to come, and thought that some of you may just need this little enhancement on their forums. If so, feel free to download and test it.

Features

Not too many features for now, it's a pretty straight forward mod. I'm always open to your suggestions though.

- Display last poster avatars in threadbits on forumdisplay
- Display last poster avatars in forumbits on forumhome and forumdisplay
- Admin settings to enable display of last poster avatars in certain areas or disable globally
- Set an avatar size to best match the layout
- Choose an alternative avatar display on forumbits
- Zero database queries to keep things running smoothly

Installation

Import [phpdesk.com]-product-lpavatar.xml via AdminCP > Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]

You could test it and let us know, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

I just wanted to say thank you for the donation, SwollenCranium, I really appreciate your support! Please keep the test username active for me a bit longer, it's late up here, and I have some stuff to do in the morning, so I'll log into your website sometime during the day tomorrow, I need to see what could possibly be wrong with your setup that works fine on my end, and include the fix into the next release. Thanks again.

Thanks for letting me know, I'll add an extra conditional to check if user has got an avatar before attempting to display it. Will do that later today when I get back to my work computer.

I have addressed both posts above by adding a conditional to check for user's avatar presence, and if missing, either a default avatar can be entered to display (admin option) or no avatar at all is shown.

Hope this helps.

Is there any way we can restyle the way the avatar shows up on forum home? I think they're a bit too small there.

Thanks for the question, I've added an extra option to set the avatar size individually for threadbits and forumbits display. That way you can make it larger on homepage if you wish. Included in version 1.0.5 of this mod.

By the way, I thought tiny mods take less time to dedicate to.
