Sender Avatar In Private Message List · **Released**: 09-23-2006

I've seen a few requests for it and wanted it myself, I spent a lot of time on it and then realized I wasted a lot of time and it was actually quite simple. Now this works whether you store your avatars in the filesystem or database.

Upload the plugin. Then:

In your pm_messagelistbit template find:

Code:

<if condition="$show['pmicons']"><td class="alt2"><if condition="$show['pmicon']"><img src="$pm[iconpath]" alt="$pm[icontitle]" /><else />&nbsp;</if></td></if>

And replace it with:

Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT!='usercp'"> <if condition="$sk_avurl"><td class="alt2" width="80"><img src="$sk_avurl[0]" width="60" /></td><else /><td class="alt2" width="60"><img src="images/misc/noavatar.gif" width="60" border="0" /></if></td></if> </if>

You'll be replacing the post icon that shows up between the status icon and the message itself.

If your board allows users to not have an avatar and you're getting red x's on some, do this:

Lionel · #14 09-25-2006, 01:02 AM

I created a plugin

hook location: private_messagelist_messagebit

I named it: Avatar in PM

plugin content

PHP Code:


			
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['avatarid']) 

{ 

$avatar = $db->query_first("SELECT user.avatarid,avatar.avatarpath as avatarpath

 FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user 

LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "avatar as avatar on (user.avatarid=avatar.avatarid)

WHERE userid = '$userid'"); 

  if ($avatar[avatarpath ]!=''){

    $pmavatar = "<img width=\"30\" height=\"30\" src=\"" . $vbulletin->options[bburl] . "/$avatar[avatarpath]\" alt=\"avatar\" border=\"0\" />";

}else 

{ 

    if ($avatar = $db->query_first("SELECT dateline, userid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "customavatar WHERE userid = '$userid'")) 

    { 

       

        $navbaravatarurl = ($vbulletin->options['usefileavatar']) ? "" . $vbulletin->options[avatarurl] . "/avatar$avatar[userid]_" . $vbulletin->userinfo[avatarrevision] . ".gif" : "" . $vbulletin->options[bburl] . "/image.php?u=" . $userid . "&amp;dateline=" . $avatar['dateline'] . ""; 

        $pmavatar = "<img width=\"30\" height=\"30\" src=\"$navbaravatarurl\" alt=\"avatar\" border=\"0\" />"; 

    } 

    else 

    { 

        

       $pmavatar = "<img width=\"30\" height=\"30\" src=\"$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/noavatar.gif\" alt=\"avatar\" border=\"0\" />";  

    } 

}

}

and I put $pmavatar in template at the location indicated in this hack

Weird, that didn't work for me on my test board. Oh well, I'm working on a universal way that works with either method.

nevetS · #17 09-25-2006, 07:03 AM

I created a much simpler plugin... Wow Lionel!

PHP Code:


			
$sk_avurl = fetch_avatar_url($userid);

and then in the template:

PHP Code:


			
<img src="$sk_avurl[0]" />

plugin gets attached to private_messagelist_messagebit.

A quick hack, but it seems to work for me.

Paul M · #18 09-25-2006, 08:01 AM

You may need to add a require ;

PHP Code:


			
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_user.php');

$avatarurl = fetch_avatar_url($userid);

cool that works, but just one problem. Those who dont have an avator, they get that no image pic with cross which looks ugly. Any way to get rid of that? so that members without avator are left out with no avator in the pm display.

here is what i mean:
