vBa CMPS - Member of the Day

This adds Kentaurus' "Member of the Day" to your vBa CMPS. I take no credit for his hack whatsoever. You must have his hack installed for this to work.

- Added function to show default avatar for users with no selected avatar.
- Added link to member's Usernotes (in template).
- Added like to member's Friends [vBBuddies hack] (in template).

1. Edit global.php

Find:

PHP Code:

$specialtemplates = array_merge($specialtemplates, 
         array(
             'adv_modules', 


add BELOW:

PHP Code:

'memberoftheday', 


Find:

PHP Code:

$globaltemplates = array_merge($globaltemplates,
         array(
              'adv_portal', 


Add BELOW:

PHP Code:

'memberoftheday', 


Find:

PHP Code:

if (defined('VBA_PORTAL'))
{
    require_once('./includes/vba_cmps_include_bottom.php');
} 


Add ABOVE:

PHP Code:

$mday = unserialize($datastore['memberoftheday']);
if ($mday['hascustomavatar'] AND $vboptions['avatarenabled'])
        
            {
             $avatarurl = "$vboptions[bburl]/image.php?u=$mday[userid]";
            }
         else
        {
            $avatarurl = "$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/noavatar.gif";
        }
eval('$memberoftheday .= "' . fetch_template('memberoftheday') . '";'); 


2. create new template adv_portal_member

Add code:

PHP Code:

$memberoftheday 


or you can make any new template using the templates in the next post below (without having to call the original hack's memberoftheday template)

3. Add a new module:

Module Title: Member of the Day
Template to Include: member


Place it wherever you like (left, center, right)

That's it.

I have a small problem on this. Instead of showing the member of the day's avatar it shows the avatar of the person logged in. Can anyone tell me what might be wrong?

could this be changed a little bit to be a "featured forum" instead of the member, i have 840 forums and a featured one would be cool, i have it hard coded right now.

does it works on 3.5.1 ? cause I try to modify the global.php and I don't find anything similar to replace with this code...

any idea please?

thx

[sidewinder1]

how do you change the text color in that block? cant find it... my forums are dark grey and the hack's letters are black,makes it really hard to see this.
