Please click if you like this hack


Requested here, some people said it could be found on vBT, but it requires code modification to work, it was requested on our forum too, that's why I created it and release it here

With this small hack, in postbit, if the user is connected, his avatar will be displayed normally, else it will be less visible

New modifications :
- Avaible in memberlist too
- Browser detection (mozilla)

SC (still can't attach them)

Cool hack.
To clarify, the code posted above doesn't do anything for the actual posts being made right? So am I to disregard the original hack on the first page and use what's posted above instead or do I use both?

It is quite hard to install that hack - I will tell you that.

i installed the version the second two guys thought of

/me thumbs up

[Cold Steel]

I couldn't get the memberlist to show non-opaque avatars, so I didn't even try the memberinfo.

But the second version of postbit works great. Installed -- thanks!

A little less code.

PHP Code:


                   <if condition="$show['avatar']">
                    &nbsp;<br /><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="$avatarurl" alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0"<if condition="$post[IsOnline] == false"> style="filter:alpha(opacity=30);-moz-opacity:0.3;opacity: 0.3;"</if> /></a>
          </if>

Actually, there is no need for the code in functions_bigthree.php in MEMBERINFO. There is probably some already existing value in the others to check too.

MEMBERINFO

use the existing info in $userinfo['action'] like this

PHP Code:

            <if condition="$show['avatar']">
                <td><img src="$userinfo[avatarurl]" alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" style="border:1px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-top:none<if condition="$userinfo['action'] == false">;filter:alpha(opacity=40);-moz-opacity:0.4;opacity: 0.4;</if>" /></td>
            <else />
                <td>&nbsp;</td>
            </if>

You can get rid of the switch in bigthree by just difining in the existing code.

PHP Code:

    $onlinestatus = 0;
    $user['IsOnline'] = false;
    // now decide if we can see the user or not
    if ($user['lastactivity'] > $datecut AND $user['lastvisit'] != $user['lastactivity'])
    {
        if ($user['invisible'])
        {
            if (($permissions['genericpermissions'] & CANSEEHIDDEN) OR $user['userid'] == $bbuserinfo['userid'])
            {
                // user is online and invisible BUT bbuser can see them
                $user['invisiblemark'] = '*';
                $onlinestatus = 2;
                $user['IsOnline'] = true;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            // user is online and visible
            $onlinestatus = 1;
            $user['IsOnline'] = true;
        }
    } 


Saves a switch statement. But memberlist_resultsbit doesn't seem to access this info.
