Avatar on homepage

This is what we use on the main page of this forum.
So many people liked it and asked for it, I posted it on at least 5 threads already, but someone wanted a proper release so here it is.

Anyway, in index.php add this:

if ($bbuserinfo[userid]!=0) {
  $avatarurl=getavatarurl($bbuserinfo[userid]);
  if ($avatarurl=='') {
    $avatarurl='{imagesfolder}/noavatar.gif';
  }
  $avatarimage='<img src="'.$avatarurl.'">';
} else {
  $avatarimage='<a href="register.php?s='.$session[sessionhash].'&action=signup"><img src="{imagesfolder}/guestavatar.gif"></a>';
}

right after this:

$permissions=getpermissions();
if (!$permissions['canview']) {
	show_nopermission();
}

Now in any of your forumhome_xxx templates, you can use this:

$avatarimage

to display the user's avatar.

It will display the user's avatar if he has selected one, if he hasn't selected one it will show noavatar.gif (you'll need to upload that to your images folder), and if it's a guest, it will show guestavatar.gif, and link the image to register.php.

Where do I put

PHP Code:

$avatarimage 


to place it in the same place as on vb.org main forum page?

[Airwaves]

[JTMON]

[Airwaves]

I cannot find $postbits in the forumdisplay template ??

[Lesane]

Put it in the forumhome template like Firefly said in his first post!

[Bedhead]

I have done everything step by step, but where exactly does $avatarimage go in the forumhome template.

[Bedhead]

If it is installed here, how come i don't have it as noavater here as i have not selected one here?
Confused.

[Bedhead]

I got it.
I thought this hack would add it to each member in the posts.
It is only on the main page.
Okay.

Okay.

Each member already has his avatar in his post...?

Having a bit of trouble with this...

I have the two image required in the /forums/images/avatars folder on my server, BUT, i still get a little red X in a box for someone who doesnt have an avatar set

here is the code in my index.php

PHP Code:

//avatar images
if ($bbuserinfo[userid]!=0) {
  $avatarurl=getavatarurl($bbuserinfo[userid]);
  if ($avatarurl=='') {
    $avatarimage='<a href="usercp.php?s='.$session[sessionhash].'"><img border="0" src="images/avatars/noavatar.gif"></a>';
  }
  $avatarimage='<img border="0" src="'.$avatarurl.'">';
} else {
  $avatarimage='<a href="register.php?s='.$session[sessionhash].'&action=signup"><img border="0" src="images/avatars/guestavatar.gif"></a>';
}
//end avatar images 


I used a few fixes from the rest of this thread like removing the borders and making it linkk to the usercp to set an avatar.

please help?
