Mini Mods - Default avatar

This mod add a default avatar, simply ^^

• In "postbit" template, find:

PHP Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['avatar']">
                    <a class="postuseravatarlink" href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw post}}">
                        <vb:if condition="$post.avatarurl">
                            <img src="{vb:raw post.avatarurl}" alt="{vb:rawphrase xs_avatar, {vb:raw post.username}}" />
                        <vb:else />
                            <img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/unknown.gif" />
                        </vb:if>
                    </a>
                </vb:if> 


• Replace to:

PHP Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['avatar']">
                    <a class="postuseravatarlink" href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw post}}">
                        <vb:if condition="$post.avatarurl">
                            <img src="{vb:raw post.avatarurl}" alt="{vb:rawphrase xs_avatar, {vb:raw post.username}}" />
                        
                        </vb:if>
                    </a>
<vb:else />
                            <img class="postuseravatarlink" align="left" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/avatar.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase xs_avatar, {vb:raw post.username}}" />
                </vb:if> 


PS: The IB code is no good by default, default avatar is expected but does not

PS2: image (avatar.png) is already included

Hey Allan, I'm a bit confused.
Doesn't $show[avatar] check to see whether the user has chosen to display or hide avatars through his/her userCP?
Meaning, if I were to go to my userCP and uncheck the "Show Avatars" then your code kicks in showing the default blank one.

Is that the purpose of your code?
Or are you trying to make it so that if a user does not have an avatar, the default one is shown?

Would your solution work for somehting like that?

Use this:

<vb:if condition="$show['guest']"></vb:if>

Thanks for the bit bro, but I would like to fix the code just a little bit more to make it perfect. Currently, the default avatars are not linking to the profile. Use this one instead:

<vb:if condition="$show['avatar']">
                    <a class="postuseravatarlink" href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw post}}">
                        <vb:if condition="$post.avatarurl">
                            <img src="{vb:raw post.avatarurl}" alt="{vb:rawphrase xs_avatar, {vb:raw post.username}}" />
                        
                        </vb:if>
                    </a>
<vb:else />
                            <img class="postuseravatarlink" align="left" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/avatar.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase xs_avatar, {vb:raw post.username}}" />
                </vb:if>

^^ that's the difference between amateur tweaking and the real pro's.

Thanks for the insight, I've only changed the .gif to .png so I'm not sure, but I think everything will stay the same as it was? Doesn't vB takes care of this ? (I mean to check if the avatars is on/off in usercp)
