Photo As Avatar · **Released**: 07-02-2010

port of vb3 version, with mass-check feature.

This mod completely disables standard avatar functionality and generates avatars automaticaly from profile photos. That helps with 2 points:

"Socialize" you forum. Real visitors likes to se their faces.
Simplify usage. Many people don't understand, why they can upload pictures in 2 places, and what is the difference.

Also, this mod makes sexy rounded corners for avatar. It seems strange, but forum impression become much better. See attached images.

Features:

Automatically generates avatars from profile photos
Round corners for avatars
PNG avatar format, compatible with any skin background
Mass rebuild avatars via ACP
Mass check/remove avatars from ACP (rebuild counters)

How to install:

!!! ACP -> Avatars -> User Pictures Storage Type. Move to filesystem, if not.
Upload files from appropriate folder and import product XML
Go to ACP and change settings each group. Those are recommended:
- 160х160px - profile photo size
- 80x80 - avatar size
Go to ACP -> Options -> User Pucture Options. Select corner rounding you like.
Go to ACP -> Rebuild counders. Run "Rebuild avatars from photos"

This mod is developped here http://github.com/rcdesign/vb-photo_as_avatar . Patches are welcome.

PS. Screenshots from vb3 version, don't care.

Go to ACP -> Options -> User Pucture Options. Set rounding you need. Check with new upload. If ok - rebuild avatars in ACP -> Maintenance -> Update Counters.

Updated mod description (how to install).

1. Have you uploaded all files from ZIP or only imported XML ?
2. Move avarats to file system, don't keep those in database.

RokuDaMerlin · #8 07-04-2010, 09:50 AM

hmm where can i say the vb .. filebase not database save for avatars ?

hmm
i have all files upload !

ACP -> Avatars -> User Pictures Storage Type.

I didn't checked mod with DB stirage - it's quite useless and make server load.

PS. Do the same for all.
ACP -> Attachments -> Storage type
ACP -> Groups -> Storage type

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
