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]

Mod Support

- A small donation would always be welcome to support further development of this hack (Support Developer)
- I'll do my best to listen to your comments and suggestions as long as time permits

Any plans to release an option for vBadvanced?

Found a bug/problem.

On the Forums Home, say you have Sub-Forums, if a poster posts on a Thread in the Sub-Forum it doesn't show their av on the Forums Home, it will show the av of the last poster within the main Forum not the Sub Forum even though the last post showing on the Forums Home is from the Sub Forum.

Hope you understand what I mean.
Check it out and test it with a Forum which has a Sub Forum to it.

Installed the new 1.1.1 update and all seems to be working well. Did a little tweaking of the CSS to fit my style better, but other than that it's working great.

Do let me know if anything else comes up, I'll be more than happy to troubleshoot and get back to you with further fixes until this becomes a stable mod.

Thanks, Daryn, I have removed the outdated lines from the mod description, you're right

Now the avatar appears if the link is like this:

http://www.domain.com/forum/avatar/customavatars/avatar8707_8.gif

But if there is two digits after (_), for example:

http://www.domain.com/forum/avatar/customavatars/avatar8701_59.gif

The link will be like this:

http://www.domain.com/forum/avatar/customavatars/avatar8701_5.gif

There is no avatar because the last (9) is missing and will not include in the link!

Thanks dear

It is apart from what I wrote about the SubForum problem.
Do you have SubForums?
If so post in one and you will see that on the Forum home page your av isn't showing as the last poster.

I'm also having this problem. It only started after installing the updated version of the mod.
