Show Thread Enhancements - [FMI] Encourage Avatar Usage

Enclosed is our Avatar Encouragement system. What this plugin does is look to see if a user is using an avatar or not. If the user is not using an avatar it will insert a default avatar the admin has selected. The avatar will be click-able to enter the users USERCP and will only be show to that specific user.


Notable Features:
Developed by ForuMedia Inc. We use our products on our network!
Avatar clicks to USERCP profile so user knows where to go to update avatar.
Avatar only appears for the user, not all users. This means you won't see the default avatar everywhere.
Enable usergroup filter. Who it works for, who it doesn't.
Ability to change path of missing avatar image (you can use a CDN!)

How to test if it works?
Delete your avatar. Go to a thread and see if you have your assigned default avatar listed.
You can also create a test account with a test thread / post with no USERCP set avatar and see if it works

Need Avatars?
10 Pack of "Click Me - add your avatar" images.

Interesting mod...

I can't find <a class="postuseravatar" href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw post}}" title="{vb:rawphrase {vb:raw post['onlinestatusphrase']}, {vb:raw post.username}}">

In my postbit template. The closest I find is

<a class="postuseravatarlink" href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw post}}" title="{vb:rawphrase {vb:raw post['onlinestatusphrase']}, {vb:raw post.username}}">

Please advise

scott, just change
{vb:link member, {vb:raw post}}

to
<vb:if condition="$avae">profile.php?do=editavatar<vb:els e />{vb:link member, {vb:raw post}}</vb:if>

The above mentioned code should be in postbit legacy and can be replaced.

Sorry, instructions were a bit vague. I will now update them for you guys.

This is an awesome idea and will definitely help encourage users to use an avatar on my board.

Thank you for releasing this to the community!

BTW, is this compatible with vB3 also?

I changed it to the line in your new instructions and it works, however the users avatar is now to the right of their name instead of the left.

Great to hear. Good to see a new developer on vBorg! Looking forward to the stuff you provide the community.

Got i t working using this code instead.

<a class="postuseravatarlink" href="<vb:if condition="$avae">profile.php?do=editavatar<vb:els e />{vb:link member, {vb:raw post}} </vb:if>" title="{vb:rawphrase {vb:raw post['onlinestatusphrase']}, {vb:raw post.username}}">

Only issue is the link for all the other avatars on that page turn to the profile.php?do=editavatar but its livable.
