Forum Display Enhancements - Prison Bars on Banned Users Avatars

What is it?
It displays a transparent avatar on top of your banned users avatars
simulating prison bars. The idea is from Jailmod for phpbb. Since the
actual jail functionality is pretty much covered in vBulletin, I thought
I might enhance the fun with some jailbars in vBulletin also. Enjoy!

I am having trouble getting this to work. When a person is banned their avatar dissapears, is there a usergroup setting to change that?

if its not to much to ask, how bout the members list?

also, can i specify two different user groups if i seperate them with a comma or comma/space?

A user that is temporary banned like this does not show any avatar i members list in the first place, so that won't be possible without modifying code (and that we should not do).

I don't know if "or" works in the templates. It could look like this:

<if condition="is_member_of($post, 73) or condition="is_member_of($post, 74)">
<table $post[avwidth] $post[avheight] border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" background="$post[avatarurl]">
  <tr>
    <td><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="images/misc/cell.gif" $post[avwidth] $post[avheight] alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" /></a></td>
  </tr>
</table>
<else />
<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">
<img src="$post[avatarurl]" $post[avwidth] $post[avheight] alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" />
</a>
</if>

or something like this:

<if condition="is_member_of($post, 73)">
<table $post[avwidth] $post[avheight] border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" background="$post[avatarurl]">
  <tr>
    <td><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="images/misc/cell.gif" $post[avwidth] $post[avheight] alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" /></a></td>
  </tr>
</table>
<or condition="is_member_of($post, 73)">
<table $post[avwidth] $post[avheight] border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" background="$post[avatarurl]">
  <tr>
    <td><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="images/misc/cell.gif" $post[avwidth] $post[avheight] alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" /></a></td>
  </tr>
</table>
<else />
<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">
<img src="$post[avatarurl]" $post[avwidth] $post[avheight] alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" />
</a>
</if>

You can test these two approaches and report back to us if it works.

No it does not disappear. Are you sure you haven't actuallly deleted the user? Try a temporary ban of a couple of days and check if that works better.

I had the same prob till I ticked Keep Custom Avatar, then the avatar came back with the bars (3.7.1)

I don't think you should be scared about trying this in such a minor release. It's just a couple of template edits. Easy to revert.

Great!

[Captain Tycoon]

Marked and Installed! Pretty neat!

[Chris583]

Can this work with multiple groups? I have a temporary banned grouped which is hooked to the infraction system like the banned group... i did group number ex. 7,13 or 7, 13 the bars show up in temp banned profile but not in postbit. Any ideas?
