Avatar URL Variable?

[David Regimbal]

Hi everyone,

I did some searching and couldn't find what I was looking for. Is there a variable that will display the avatar's URL?

something like {vb:raw bbuserinfo.avatar_url}

I Sure it's needs a database query. If I had a time I will make it for you.

I have same ploblem like #1.
I need a variable to display avatar's URL, and i've asked "thanhdia", he have already answered me with my ploblem.
My forum version is 4.1.10.
Here is his answer: Create a new variable: {vb:raw cus_avatar} with new plugin.

1. Add new plugin with Template Hook is parse_templates with code:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])
{
    require_once('./includes/functions_user.php');
    $avatar_url = fetch_avatar_url($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']);

  $avatar = $avatar_url[0];
  $cus_avatar = '<a href="profile.php?do=editavatar"><img src="'.$avatar.'" border="0" alt="" /></a>';

  $templater = vB_Template::create('yourtemplate');
  $templater->register('cus_avatar', $cus_avatar);
  vB_Template::preRegister('yourtemplate',array('cus_avatar' => $cus_avatar));
  $templater->render();
}

2. yourtemplate is the name of the template which you want to add the newvariable. Replace it ^^!
Ex: header...
Active new plugin which you have created. OK
3. Final, just need add the variable {vb:raw cus_avatar} at anywhere on your template which you replace in code.


But... some new problem is appear. Mod "Two columns of categories - by rellect" is conflict with this plugin. >"<
Now I want to discuss with everybody to fix it. Help me. Thanks a lot! ^^!

What problem happens when using "Two columns of categories"?

The code you posted doesn't make sense - it is calling both register() and preRegister() for the same template, which isn't necessary. Also, it calls render() but doesn't do anything with the output.

So what should I do with that code? How should I fix it?
I'm bad in PHP ^^! Thanks for help

[kh99]

Well, I guess if "youtemplate" is an existing vb template or one that's being rendered somewhere else, you'd want just the preRegister, like:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])
{
    require_once('./includes/functions_user.php');
    $avatar_url = fetch_avatar_url($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']);

  $avatar = $avatar_url[0];
  $cus_avatar = '<a href="profile.php?do=editavatar"><img src="'.$avatar.'" border="0" alt="" /></a>';

  vB_Template::preRegister('yourtemplate',array('cus_avatar' => $cus_avatar));
}

In any case I don't know why it would interfere with another mod.

Sorry, that was my problem, that plugin didn't interfere with another mod. ^^!
Thanks a lot!!
