Mini Mods - Last Poster Avatar

Info

This mod ads last posters' avatars next to their names on Forumdisplay pages. I've just finished a section of one of my bigger mods to come, and thought that some of you may just need this little enhancement on their forums. If so, feel free to download and test it.

Features

Not too many features for now, it's a pretty straight forward mod. I'm always open to your suggestions though.

- Display last poster avatars in threadbits on forumdisplay
- Display last poster avatars in forumbits on forumhome and forumdisplay
- Admin settings to enable display of last poster avatars in certain areas or disable globally
- Set an avatar size to best match the layout
- Choose an alternative avatar display on forumbits
- Zero database queries to keep things running smoothly

Installation

Import [phpdesk.com]-product-lpavatar.xml via AdminCP > Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]

Thanks for trying to be helpful, I'll check out and get back to you with an update as soon as I have one.

Could you test the attached product installer and see if the error is gone? I will then update the thread with the new version if all goes well.

Do you mind getting in touch via PM and share your install details with me so that I could take a quick look into it? I installed a test vB 4.1.8, and it worked well with the original mod version. I then installed vBSEO and it did not break anything. So I assume you're facing some sort of a mod incompatibility issue there.

I was not running VBSEO and had the error so likely a mod incompatibility.

Didnt work on 4.18 for me either.Just get white screens

I disabled vbseo then uploaded the new file and I still get this error.

Warning: require_once([path]./includes/functions_user.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/forumdisplay.php(1065) : eval()'d code on line 2

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/deleted/public_html./includes/functions_user.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/deleted/public_html/forumdisplay.php(1065) : eval()'d code on line 2

In that case it's not vBSEO the conflicting part here. I installed it on my end as well, and it did not affect my mod. Could you at least message me the list of plugins that you have installed? Ideally, I'd prefer to take a look personally, that would be the quickest way to a fix.

On a side note, to everyone, this is a beta stage mod, cooperation is more than welcome, rather than ignorance.
