Show Thread Enhancements - YouTube Video Avatars for specified usergroups

Hello, what this mod does is allows users to have a "Video Avatar" if they are a member of the usergroup you specify.

Installation instructions are attached. See screen shots below to get an idea of what it looks like.

UPDATE! I recorded a video of me installing it on a blank board. The video should help anyone having trouble. There are a couple extra things like me closing my password manager that you should ignore, but the video will show you what to do.

Installation Video Instructions

You can change the height and width of the video by changing the attributes in the code.

It requires one template edit, 2 if you use both postbit styles.
It requires one profile field.

I am new to the modding still, and my instructions here aren't great, but you can see it in action here.

UPDATE!
To Display them in your user profiles
open the memberinfo template
find

			<if condition="$show['avatar']">
				<td><img src="$userinfo[avatarurl]" $userinfo[avatarsize] alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" style="border:1px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-top:none" /></td>
			<else />
				<td>&nbsp;</td>
			</if>

Replace with

<if condition="in_array($post['usergroupid'], array(5,6,7,12,14)) AND $post[fieldXX]">
<td>
<object width="150" height="123.5"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/$post[fieldXX]"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/$post[fieldXX]" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="150" height="123.5"></embed></object>
</td>
<else />	
			<if condition="$show['avatar']">
				<td><img src="$userinfo[avatarurl]" $userinfo[avatarsize] alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" style="border:1px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-top:none" /></td>
			<else />
				<td>&nbsp;</td>
			</if>
			</if>
</if>

Be sure you replace all fieldXX with your actual field number!

Click installed!

Glad it works for you TheBlackPoet. If the people who are having trouble could post their postbit file, I can see why it's not working.

[Silvio]

gorgeous:P
I will install it right now


ty for sharing this good idea/work

[rjmjr69]

Anyone here?

Did you see my reply. I asked you to post your postbit template.

Postbit below 4x4 Mecca - thanx very much
Question: Would make a difference in the code if you have default avatar selected to show?
Thanx again -

Jacquii.

[tipoboy]

i got it working thanks for a great mod!!

1 problem i change the array values for a custom usergroup called video avatars (field 13) i only want this usergroup to have video avatars.

the problem i get is when i add myself as a secondary user to that group the video avatar doesnt work is there some special priviledges you need to use when making the usergroup?? i just based it on the registered users group!!

do you follow what i am saying?
your help would be appreciated
dave

[tipoboy]

also any way of making the video avatars show on all the sections where the avatar's arefo example vbadvanced ortal user cp etc etc

so if you are in the usergroup for video avatars all instances of your avatar become the video avatar not just the postbit/postbit_legacy

thanks again
dave

[Rickeo]

AMAZING thank you so much

[GuaRRand]

am i the only one who cant get it to work?

I did what the instructions said, editted both postbit's and made the extra profile field, but i dont see it in my UserCP -> edit options or edit avatar...

[GuaRRand]

nvm, got it
