Mini Mods - Default Avatar

This plugin will make a default avatar show for all users if the user does not have an avatar. This works in the postbit, profiles, and members list. It uses the image "images/misc/unknown.gif" by default, which is used in several locations for the same purpose, and works on vB 3.7+ and vB4. This is editable in the Admin CP under vBulletin Options -> User Picture Options -> Default Avatar Image Location.

Updates:

• 1.0 - 3.5 release by Zachery - unsupported.
• 2.0 - Initial 3.7+ release.
  • 2.0.1 - Slight bugfix relating to users disabling avatar display. This setting does not affect avatars on the profile or memebers list by default, so this addon should not take it into account for those pages.
  • 2.0.2 - Added a setting to control the location of the image. See the updated description for details.
  • 2.0.3 - The avatar on the profile page now will resize properly.

This works for vBulletin 4.0 as well as 3.7+. vB3 thread located here.

I'm on the hunt for a random avatar plugin but they all seem to be broken.

I am on the same boat as you are...

Yea, we know, it got torched in one of our server moves. We'll fix it at some point, maybe.

Great mod. I took the default avatar from vB5 and resized to 80x80. Looks a little bit nicer than the vB4 unknown.gif and could still be either male or female.

Hello,

This error came directly after installing this add on, I have looked everywhere for "product-gd_davatar_2.0.3" without any luck,

I installed the "bt_new_members_module" which worked fine, and because I wanted to have default avatars for users without, I uploaded the product "product-gd_davatar_2.0.3"

Following this I am get 500 internal server error on the admincp, the main forum and pages are appearing perfectly. http://awesomemetalbands.com/forum.php

I have gone through all the basics disabling products in the config.php, removed all includes/xml files and no luck.

after the error I create an entire backup of the FTP this has taken about 2 hours so I can troubleshoot.

Thank you

Fantastic I believe I have fully rectified the problem uploading the admincp files and the previous vba_cmps_admin seems to have worked.

Any idea why the default avatar will show on a users profile page regardless whether they have decided to change their avatar themself? Also it only shows the default avatar on this page when signed in, if you are signed out it will display their custom avatar.

Although it works fine on the postbit and elsewhere. Hopefully someone can come up with a fix, i really cannot find anything that is causing this.
