Mini Mods - Last Poster Avatar

Info

This mod ads last posters' avatars next to their names on Forumdisplay pages. I've just finished a section of one of my bigger mods to come, and thought that some of you may just need this little enhancement on their forums. If so, feel free to download and test it.

Features

Not too many features for now, it's a pretty straight forward mod. I'm always open to your suggestions though.

- Display last poster avatars in threadbits on forumdisplay
- Display last poster avatars in forumbits on forumhome and forumdisplay
- Admin settings to enable display of last poster avatars in certain areas or disable globally
- Set an avatar size to best match the layout
- Choose an alternative avatar display on forumbits
- Zero database queries to keep things running smoothly

Installation

Import [phpdesk.com]-product-lpavatar.xml via AdminCP > Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]

THanks for your feedback so far, guys! Hope you're enjoying this mod. I feel happy I decided to share it right on my son's birthday night

Works great, fresh install on 4.1.9. Thanks for this! Marked installed and rated.

One suggestion if possible - to have the avatar linked to the members profile page so when you click on the avatar you would be taken to their profile page.

I confirm that you can test it out safely, simply install and check it right away. I don't see why it wouldn't work on vB 4.0.2. If the avatars don't show up, let me know and I'll check it out for a possible compatibility issue to fix, eventually.

Would it be possible to modify this slightly to put the avatar image to the left of the thread title and remove the thread icon? Sort of like how IPB does?

I think there already exists a mod for that, by digitalpoint if I'm not mistaken.
