[RC2] Hackless avatar on homepage

This is a update of my template modification for vB 2, with this modification installed your avatar will be displayed on index.php. This can be useful for welcome panels and other similar template modifications.

Yes im aware Tungsten as done for for vBulletin 3 beta, and this is no reflection on him but his code dose alot of database work to pull the avatar, mine will only run one query.

Chen - vB 2 hack author and idea
Tungsten - updated this modification to vB 3 beta

Hmmm...

I put it in the navbar template, but now it only shows up on forumhome. It's missing from deeper pages. Could someone suggest a way to fix this?

I added freddie's config.php suggestion, too.


EDIT - fixed

Great thanks to Vb-Hispano -- His replacement string solved the problem.

How do you put htis code in config.php? Are you sure you didnt mean a different file?

I'm trying to reduce the number of queries being run for Forum Home. So I need to figure this one out. Thx

You have to (download then) edit config.php with a text editor and then re-upload the file to your server.

I'm sorry, what I meant was that I have never seen a hack that required you to edit that specific file (config.php). I was under the impression that you should never edit it.

Also, there is no code in that file that seems similar to the code he suggested adding. It only contains the basic variables for connecting to the mysql database.

I see Define() statements in index.php and global.php but not in config.php...

I know what you mean. I had no idea, so I just added add Freddie's suggestion to the bottom of config.php.

Fixed?
How?

I've been trying to figure this out for a good day.. but I can't figure out how to get the avatar displayed on the deeper pages.

Just like it doesn't call the function.

I put the code in the phpinclude_start template

and the html in the header template...

Can anyone help me out?

That's too cool.

Good point - if you have avatars as files, what is the variable to use for the avatar to show up?
