Avatar on homepage

This is what we use on the main page of this forum.
So many people liked it and asked for it, I posted it on at least 5 threads already, but someone wanted a proper release so here it is.

Anyway, in index.php add this:

if ($bbuserinfo[userid]!=0) {
  $avatarurl=getavatarurl($bbuserinfo[userid]);
  if ($avatarurl=='') {
    $avatarurl='{imagesfolder}/noavatar.gif';
  }
  $avatarimage='<img src="'.$avatarurl.'">';
} else {
  $avatarimage='<a href="register.php?s='.$session[sessionhash].'&action=signup"><img src="{imagesfolder}/guestavatar.gif"></a>';
}

right after this:

$permissions=getpermissions();
if (!$permissions['canview']) {
	show_nopermission();
}

Now in any of your forumhome_xxx templates, you can use this:

$avatarimage

to display the user's avatar.

It will display the user's avatar if he has selected one, if he hasn't selected one it will show noavatar.gif (you'll need to upload that to your images folder), and if it's a guest, it will show guestavatar.gif, and link the image to register.php.

Awesome Hack Firefly. What part of the code would I change to make it so the noavatar.gif is linked to userCP?

[Crinos]

w00t! Works great! Excellent hack, cheers!

Is there anyway to encorporate this into a non-vb page?

[JTMON]

For some reason that code didn't work for me firefly. I just get a red x if I don't have an avatar selected, but no noavatar.gif. I have reuploaded the gif file twice too. Otherwise it works great.

ok I got it working now. I had to do this:

if ($bbuserinfo[userid]!=0) {
  $avatarurl=getavatarurl($bbuserinfo[userid]);
  if ($avatarurl=='') {
    $avatarurl='images/noavatar.gif';
  }
  $avatarimage='<a href="member.php3?s='.$session[sessionhash].'&action=editavatar"><img src="'.$avatarurl.'">';
} else {
  $avatarimage='<a href="register.php?s='.$session[sessionhash].'&action=signup"><img src="images/guestavatar.gif"></a>';
}

I chose to link right into the edit avatar spot instead but I had tack on the code you gave me to the beginning of:

$avatarimage'<img src="'.$avatarurl.'">';

[JTMON]

hmm, the only problem now is I have a box around the avatar?

[Bane]

Try changing

<img src="'.$avatarurl.'">

to

<img src="'.$avatarurl.'" border="0">

[JTMON]

Thanks Bane!! Worked perfectly!
