Show Thread Enhancements - YouTube Video Avatars for specified usergroups

Hello, what this mod does is allows users to have a "Video Avatar" if they are a member of the usergroup you specify.

Installation instructions are attached. See screen shots below to get an idea of what it looks like.

UPDATE! I recorded a video of me installing it on a blank board. The video should help anyone having trouble. There are a couple extra things like me closing my password manager that you should ignore, but the video will show you what to do.

Installation Video Instructions

You can change the height and width of the video by changing the attributes in the code.

It requires one template edit, 2 if you use both postbit styles.
It requires one profile field.

I am new to the modding still, and my instructions here aren't great, but you can see it in action here.

UPDATE!
To Display them in your user profiles
open the memberinfo template
find

			<if condition="$show['avatar']">
				<td><img src="$userinfo[avatarurl]" $userinfo[avatarsize] alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" style="border:1px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-top:none" /></td>
			<else />
				<td>&nbsp;</td>
			</if>

Replace with

<if condition="in_array($post['usergroupid'], array(5,6,7,12,14)) AND $post[fieldXX]">
<td>
<object width="150" height="123.5"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/$post[fieldXX]"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/$post[fieldXX]" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="150" height="123.5"></embed></object>
</td>
<else />	
			<if condition="$show['avatar']">
				<td><img src="$userinfo[avatarurl]" $userinfo[avatarsize] alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" style="border:1px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-top:none" /></td>
			<else />
				<td>&nbsp;</td>
			</if>
			</if>
</if>

Be sure you replace all fieldXX with your actual field number!

Click installed!
Nominate for MOTM!

[Alfa1]

It's different.

[fukdawrld]

most excellent works fine on 3.7 gold .now if you can give me instructions on how to do continuous play that would be even better., first response in a thread has this option is "the only one that plays continuous"

This did not work for me on Vbulletin 3.7. It was close, but the template edits were a bit off. It messes up the entire postbit. Anyone have any ideas?

is your postbit and/or postbit legacy which ever you are doing this to
was it already modified before you tried to do this

if so let me get a copy of that and i will take a look

most likely it is something small and easy to work around 98% of this stuff is

I have it working on 3.7.0. Same/similar code. In what way does it mess up the template? A common theme is the avatar appearing above the user info (ranks etc). The way around this is to look at your original template and find the bit in between:

<if condition="$show['avatar']">

and

<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">

It could be something like:

<td class="alt2">

And change the

<div class="smallfont">

in the installation guide to your original code above.

Be sure to change the closing tag from div to td if this is the case.

It's very early, I'm not sure if that made any sense. :/

It messes up the template in that it makes another column to the right of the postbit, and places all the user info fields above the first postbit, it's probably just a small table error

[AzH]

Probably right. Post your postbit code so we can have a look?
