No support by the author.

Unfortunately, I don't have the time to maintain and support this add-on in two locations. The newest version (and support) can always be found here: https://marketplace.digitalpoint.com...atars.886/item

About
This changes thread icons to be the avatar of the thread starter. It applies to thread listings on forumdisplay, search results and subscribed threads in the UserCP.

Installation
  • Upload the cssrollup_digitalpoint_threadavatars.xml file to includes/xml (this is really only needed if you store CSS as files in the file system)
  • Install the product-dp_thread_avatars.xml product under AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product

Notes
  • Icons are cropped (but never stretched) to be square for display.
  • Threads with no new posts have the avatar slightly greyed out.
  • Locked threads will have a lock image overlayed.
  • Soft-deleted threads will have a red X image overlayed.
  • If the user posted in the thread, they will see a mini version of their avatar overlayed.
  • If a thread is "hot", the shadow of the icon will change color.
  • ZERO SQL queries are added.
  • Overlay images are encoded as CSS data (no extra HTTP requests needed for images or the CSS files themselves).
  • If your site uses pre-defined avatars, they are not scaled down for use as the icon since vBulletin does not store the dimensions (instead, the upper/left potion is cropped for the icon).

Settings
  • You can disable the mini-avatars under AdminCP -> Settings -> Options -> Forum Display Options (forumdisplay) -> Highlight Threads in Which User Has Posted
  • You can disable the hot thread highlight under AdminCP -> Settings -> Options -> Forum Display Options (forumdisplay) -> Hot Threads Enabled
  • You can change the color of the hot thread shadow under AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> StyleVars -> dpta_shadow_hot_color
  • You can change the size of the avatar under AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> StyleVars -> threadbit_iconsize (since they are square, it keys only on width)
  • If your site uses pre-defined avatars, you should use the AdminCP -> Settings -> Options -> User Picture Options -> Site Uses Pre-Defined Avatars option

Screenshots


Advanced
  • If you want to add your own mini-icon overlays, you can utilize the $template_hook['thread_avatars'] variable to do so.
  • If you want to selectively disable thread avatars, you can set the $show['hide_thread_avatars'] to true. This would allow you to create a custom profile field for users and set the $show['hide_thread_avatars'] based on the user's setting. Alternately you could enable the addon for certain usergroups or just for specific styles.

Is there a way so that animated avatars do not animate in those? I would like to keep animated avatars allowed in the forum but find it a little annoying when clicking new posts because there is too much animation.
Thanks for the mod by the way, its great!

Sorry there isn't (other that disallowing animated avatars). The system doesn't process/read the avatars themselves, so it doesn't know if they are animated or not... it simply outputs the avatars that are there.

I suppose the original avatars are taken and are not resized and stored seperately - is that correct?

I such a feature planned?

Correct... it does not store additional versions. There are no plans to do that.

Happy to see it as a product
We made it manually after modified many templates (Author avatar + last post avatar)

I want to restore all templates and use this awesome product, but is there a chance to add last post avatar in forumhome? so I can use only this product.

Thanks Shawn

There is a problem - What's New
I had the same problem when I turned on store CSS in file system.

Turned it off and the problem went away. Yes, I have the cssrollup_digitalpoint_threadavatars.xml file uploaded to includes/xml.

Was the XML file always there? If you uploaded it after you installed the plug-in, you would need to recompile the thread avatar templates (under AdminCP -> Maintenance -> Update Counters).
