Allow ONLY mods and admins to use custom avatars

My mods have been bugging me for ever that they want custom avatars, just like they have custom user titles.

This hack is really simple, won't take you more than 5 minutes.

1. In member.php find

  if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0) {
    show_nopermission();
  }

  $avatarchecked[$bbuserinfo[avatarid]]="checked";

and add this right after:

if (ismoderator()) {
  $avatarcustomposts = 0;
}

2. In the same file replace this:

  if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0) {
    show_nopermission();
  }

  $useavatar=iif($avatarid==-1,0,1);

and add this right after:

if (ismoderator()) {
  $avatarcustomposts = 0;
}

And that's it!

Have fun.

Great hack . One question: Is there any way of letting the mods and admins only change their avs once per week?

That would be useful, I think. But if members are allowed to change their avatars anytime, why not mods/admin as well?

Curious... Where do I get the Usergroup ID? From the SQL Tables or the admin panel somewhere...

[LordZypher]

Ok I figured out how to get the id but its not working for me.. Can someone please help me to understand this..

in step 2 you said

2. In the same file replace this:

code:
if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0) {
show_nopermission();
}

$useavatar=iif($avatarid==-1,0,1);



and add this right after:

code:
if (ismoderator()) {
$avatarcustomposts = 0;
}

Replace it with what?

I am trying this with VB2.2.8 but after I put it on the member.php will not work.. its only blank.. What am I doing wrong?

I am useing this

if $bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==9 {
  $avatarcustomposts = 0;
}

I took the moderator thing out as I make the mods avatar when they need them and upload them.. but I want to allow my contributing members to use custom avatar..
Please respond

This hack does not work with vB 2.2.8, after extensive testing, I have found...

I am shortly going to release a working "Mods and Admins can always use Custom Avatars" hack, I just coded it up myself

[LordZypher]

ok kool.. I had tried everyway I could but I am not good with php anyway but as far as the hack goes.. I am needing it to only allow my contributing members to change there avatar.. The user group is 9... That would be great Thanks...

There is my hack, if you want the code changed, just request it in the thread [so other users will be able to see and it might be useful to them too]
