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!

Thanks Jacquii, I'll work on that today or tomorrow, I have family in town, so I'm pretty busy.

Dave, what are you making the video avatar user groups for. I mean what decides who gets put in it. If it's something like length of time or posts, I could probably work something. I don't user secondary user groups so I'm not sure how they work.

in your user manager there is an option to allow additional usergroups

i made a video avatar usergroup and added it to me as a aditional user group but this didnt work(see Screen Shot)

would i have to make up another user group for video avatars enabled for each group i want it to be effective on eg 1 for admin 1 for moderators 1 for registered users or could i do it using this method with alterations in the template change??

i hope this is clear as i love this mod and want to restrict the use to people in the video avatars group only

hope u understand and can achieve this
thanks for the help

Thanks dave, I understand what 2ndary user groups are, i just didn't get how you were going to choose who went in there. I will see if I can do it that way.. keep an eye on this thread.

<if condition="in_array($post['usergroupid'], array(5,6,7,12,14)) AND $post[field54]">

to

<if condition="$post['membergroupids'] == 9 AND $post[field6]">

Where 9 is the additional usergroup ID and 6 is your field number. That will work

jacquii, let me know if this works.

replace this

<!-- user info -->
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellpadding]" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<if condition="$show['avatar']">
<!-- check for staff -->
<if condition="in_array($post[usergroupid], array(5,6,7))">
<!-- I am staff so do this -->
<td class="alt2">

<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="190" height="120" align="center" background="images/$post[username]_avatar.gif" nowrap="nowrap" no-repeat>
<tr>
<td width="46%">&nbsp;</td>
<td><img src="$post[avatarurl]" height="70" width="70" align="center"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<else />
<!-- I am not staff so do this -->
<td class="alt2">
<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>
</td>
</if>
</if>

with this

<!-- user info -->
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellpadding]" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<if condition="in_array($post['usergroupid'], array(5,6,7,12,14)) AND $post[fieldXX]">
<div class="smallfont">
<object width="150" height="123.5"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/$post[fieldXX]"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/$post[fieldXX]" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="150" height="123.5"></embed></object>
</div>
<else />
<if condition="$show['avatar']">
<!-- check for staff -->
<if condition="in_array($post[usergroupid], array(5,6,7))">
<!-- I am staff so do this -->
<td class="alt2">

<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="190" height="120" align="center" background="images/$post[username]_avatar.gif" nowrap="nowrap" no-repeat>
<tr>
<td width="46%">&nbsp;</td>
<td><img src="$post[avatarurl]" height="70" width="70" align="center"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<else />
<!-- I am not staff so do this -->
<td class="alt2">
<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>
</td>
</if>
</if>
</if>

but edit the field number and user groups to match your site.

great mod installed with no problems.
I have one question though...
Is there a way to restrict Video Avatars to only users with a certain number of post or greater?
Example: User1 reaches 100 post then Video Avatars show. User2 with less than 100 post his video avatar does not show.

Let me know if this is possible?

Thanks.
