Navbar Avatar and Default Avatar combined

[jarnuts]

I am using the code posted in THIS THREAD

And have also installed the Avatar on Navbar hack by sabret00the.

I would like to use the usergroup avatar in the navar like the code from THIS THREAD does in the navbar.

Looking at the xml file for the plugin I tried a couple different variations of code but alas i have failed to figure it out.

This is the original code coming from the xml file:

PHP Code:

// no avatar specified 
        $nouseavatarchecked = HTML_CHECKED; 
        $avatarchecked[0] = ''; 
        $navbaravatar = "<img src=\"" . $vbulletin->options[bburl] . "/$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/noavatar.gif\" alt=\"Your Avatar\" border=\"0\" />"; // "<span class=\"smallfont\">No Avatar<br/ >Specified</span>"; 


This is what I tried to do:

PHP Code:

// no avatar specified 
        $noavatar = $db->query_first("SELECT usergroupid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE userid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo[userid] . ""); 
        $nouseavatarchecked = HTML_CHECKED; 
        $avatarchecked[0] = '';                                       
        $navbaravatar = "<img src=\"" . $vbulletin->options[bburl] . "/$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/$userinfo[usergroupid].gif\" alt=\"Your Avatar\" height=\"65\" width=\"65\" border=\"0\" />"; // "<span class=\"smallfont\">No Avatar<br/ >Specified</span>"; 


what I get back is this (using general values)I get a 404 image block with the following path:

http://www.sitename.com/images/skin/misc/.gif

It just returns as "noname".gif

Any help would be appreciated.:tired:
