History
=======
One of the users on my board requested this earlier today, and rather than doing my uni work, thought I'd tuck into a bit of vBulletin.
Strange request, but it's interesting, and useful imo being able to browse through seeing who's using what.

All this hack does is display a list of your forum member's avatars.
Unlike v1.1, there is now only the one option; view only those with an avatar set.

This hack has not been tested on a large scale but worked perfectly on a local test installation of vB 2.3.2.


Working Example:
=================
At present, I do not have an online demo of version 1.2 of this hack working.
You can see version 1.1 of this hack working on my forums:
Xaprief Forum's Avatar Gallery.


Contents
=========
Contained in the .zip file are an example image, and instructions.txt (this file)
- instructions.txt -> Instructions for hack installation.
- example.gif -> Shows how the hack is used on the forum.


Use
====
Tested on vBulletin 2.3.2

Files to modify:

This appears to completely break in 2.3.2, so I guess it can still use that update whenever ya have time.

I'd definetly use this when I hit 100 members or so

Same here. A devide by zero error.
Hoping for an update or a fix for v232 as well.

[Hwulex]

You'll be pleased to hear (I hope) that I am, at this very minute, working on a fix/rewrite for 2.3.2.

I've got rid of the /0 error, and altered the templates a little. Now I just need to get it to output some actual avatars.

[Hwulex]

I don't have a working online version to demonstrate, but from my local testing, it's all good.
So here's the new instructions file for vB 2.3.2. Enjoy.

Original post updated and hack-update sent.

[Rampag33]

I get an error on this line

} #end if ($action=="avatar")

....
If I remove the line it works but only getting 2 avatars a page.

[Hwulex]

Ah crap, sorry.

I pasted over the instructions code with my memberlist.php code which was altered slightly for testing.

Should be fixed now (files updated).

[Rampag33]

Works perfectly now.

This is an old hack, but I'd love to see something like this for 3.6.8 - anyone?

[cloyal]

ditto.
