Social Group Icons in Postbit · **Released**: 01-05-2012

This plugin displays the icon for all social groups a user belongs to in the postbit.

To Install:
Add this product as you would any other vBulletin product.
Admin -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product

After it is installed, enable it by going to
Admin -> Settings -> Options -> Redinkdesign - Group Icons in Postbit -> Enable
Select if you want public, invite only and/or moderated icons to show up
To set the default icon for social groups which gets displayed if the group doesn't have an icon, you'll need to set the stylevar "usefilegroupicon". It should be set by default, but you should update it for your specific theme.

A live demo can be found at http://www.b15u.com

There's currently no check to make sure the image exists, but I can add that.

Does the image actually exist? Do you have a link to your site?

This sounds like it would be a nice mod if it works by default. Meaning that if an image is setup on the group, it'll show automatically and if it isn't then a default image should be shown.

That's exactly what the mod does. Ill put a check to make sure the image exists.

Doesn't work, no images are showing at all.

Do you have a link? Did you enable the plugin? Does the groups have an image?

I can confirm the issues. The group avatar are not shown in postbit, only the name of the groups are displayed.
Additonally i'd like to suggest to add a header to the postbit, e.g. "Groups:"

Can you PM me a link? I would like to take a look...

Thanks for the help alex, it seems the directory I'm using to find the icons does not exist. I'll look into this.

The issue was icons being stored in the database instead of on the filesystem. I just updated the code so it uses the correct url depending on the site settings.
