Show "No Avatar" Image If No Avatar is Selected · **Released**: 03-19-2002

]What is it?
If the user has selected to not use avatar, then in the threads where the avatar will normally appear, instead of being blank because there is no avatar chosen, it will display a "No Avatar" image instead.

Credits
I would like to thank trilOByte, the creator of the Welcome Panel hack, for the "No Avatar" image, because there's where I stole...err...taken it from

Future Plans
Add an option to turn it on/off in the Admin CP.

Screenshot of the hack....

And the installation is in the next post

Still didn't work

MW[MWGN] · #25 03-29-2002, 11:03 AM

Oh well I have no idea on how to get it to work with those who can't... On my forums they are fine, whether it's someone who has the ability to use custom avatars or not.

Hot Dogg: You need to get FireFly's avatar thingy hack and use it as a reference... I am a newbie hacker and at the moment I'm too busy sorting all the problems on my server...

Guys, the original instructions in the ZIP file are wrong. I followed MW[MWGN]'s instructions and it finally worked for me. I followed both of these steps:

Find:

PHP Code:


			
if ($avatarurl=="" or ($bbuserinfo[userid]>0 and !($bbuserinfo[showavatars]))) {

            $post[avatar]="";

Replace with:

PHP Code:


			
if ($avatarurl=="" or ($bbuserinfo[userid]>0 and !($bbuserinfo[showavatars]))) {

            $post[avatar]="<img src=images/avatars/noavatar.gif border=0>";

And the second step:

Find:

PHP Code:


			
return '';

Replace with:

PHP Code:


			
return "images/avatars/noavatar.gif";

The first step alone didn't work. But, after I performed the second step, it worked great. So, I'm not sure which one did it for me. I'm not going to f' with it.

Try this. It works here.

Code:

<a href="member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=editavatar"><img src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/noavatar.jpg">

or whatever the name of your image file is. Let me know if that works for you.

works perfect to me.. im using 2.2.6
thanks MW.. ive been looking for this hack.. finally found one

MW[MWGN] · #30 06-10-2002, 02:53 PM

]Actually the original instructions (now I've updated with the other instructions as well

) aren't wrong, because I just use that in my 2.2.6 and it works, however on some others (dont know why) other changes are needed in functions.php...well..don't look at me, I know about vB hacking as much as my dog does

Prophet2002 · #31 07-10-2002, 03:47 AM

it worked on my pratice board, but not on the real thing.. with either version of the code, go figure
