Profile Enhancements - User name images

IMPORTANT UPDATE
I forgot to mention a vital part of the installation in the previous versions. When setting up the Custom Profile Field you must not make the location of the field in 'Edit Your Details', otherwise people that do not have the proper permissions to edit this field can do so VIA viewing their profile. I have updated the .zip with the updated instructions. Sorry for any inconvenience.

I've seen quite a few people asking about a mod to display an image in their user name spot, and haven't been able to find a working one.

What does this mod do?

This mod uses a Custom Profile Field to display an image for a persons user name rather than their default, boring text user name. It will display in all the users posts and in the users profile.

About this Mod:

• Which user groups can view the Profile Field used for this mod
• The size of the Image that can be used
• Any user that doesn't have access to this field, or chooses not to use it, will have their normal text user name displayed.
• It works with both Postbit and Postbit Legacy styles.

Please Mark Installed if you use!

This is my first released MOD, so some feedback would be very helpful, plus maybe some ideas on what else to add etc. to this MOD would be helpful.

INSTRUCTIONS ARE IN THE .ZIP FILE!

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Style & Language Settings -> Scroll too
Use Legacy (Vertical) Postbit Template and choose yes then hit save.

great mod. installed and voted!

my only feedback so far is that the menu that appears when you click the username, does not appear anymore when you use the username image. Instead, it goes right to their profile.

any ideas?

The pop up menu works for me. Are you cure you copied the code correctly? Double check that then post here if that wasn't the problem.

you are correct, sir! I did not have the right code in there. I realized what happened, and this is another feedback for you.

When I pasted that code in replacement of the old code from step 2 (in the instructions), it puts an online status icon next to the username. But their online status also appears where it should (on the bottom of the postbit).

I had to edit your code from this:

PHP Code:

<div id="postmenu_$post[postid]">
                    <if condition="$show['profile']">
                    <a class="bigusername" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><if condition="$post['field8']"><img src="$post[field8]" border="0"/></a> <else />$post[musername]</a></if>
                    $post[onlinestatus]
                    <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("postmenu_$post[postid]", true); </script>
                    <else />
                    $post[musername]
                    </if>
                </div> 


to this:

PHP Code:

<div id="postmenu_$post[postid]">
                    <if condition="$show['profile']">
                    <a class="bigusername" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><if condition="$post['field7']"><img src="$post[field7]" width="150" height="30" border="0"/></a> <else />$post[musername]</a></if>
                    <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("postmenu_$post[postid]", true); </script>
                    <else />
                    $post[musername]
                    </if>
                </div> 


getting rid of the:

PHP Code:

$post[onlinestatus] 


after the </a></if> code.

it all works fine now
kudos to you!
