Mini Mods - Nexia's Personal Favicon per Member

# What it does is simple... if your users have an avatar, it will show in the navigation bar of their browser instead of the default favicon. If you visit a member's profile who has an avatar, this one will show up!

... see the screenshot for an example, or browser nexialys.net for a live version.



# How to present this to your members... in your own words. but you can start a contest that the best avatar will win something, or make a poll for the best one, etc... it encourage interaction between members!

... and the avatar is good so the members know they are part of something!

update: will now show user's avatar on member profile, blog and album. if you know some places where it would worth to show, only personal pages i forgot, just tell!

update #2 (july 31): now you can see your favicon besides your Welcome message in the toplinks... like in facebook !!!

update #3 (aug. 1st) corrected bug on page display inside blog section when no user selected...

for the avatar in the navigation bar problem, it's all "browser related".... if the code explained above is showing in the source of your page, it's your browser which have problems coping it, not my code... in some situations, with the exact same computer configurations, some people do not see it properly - or without refreshing the browser...

for the design thing, (a, b) i suppose you have a really customized theme, in which case i can not do a lot right now... customized themes does not go well with visual hacks... we can not fit for everybody!

I have checked this using 3 different browsers and neither display the mod as advertised. It's possible that it is not installed correctly. Is there any check I can do to see if it is installed right or not? Remember I explained that the avatar does not display in the address bar with anything it's been checked with.

Weird...I thought...I had posted this !

If viewing someone's album the avatar does not display in their individual profile photos but the shows the viewers avatar.

It would be better to display the picture owners avatar.

B) When displaying the board in the default style, my avatar shows up in the upper right of page next to my screen name, and my avatar shows up in the favicon image on the tab of my browser.
C) But at NO point does my avatar display in the browsers address area.

Is there any possible fixes for this? I have disabled this product hoping there is a cure for what seems to be a nice mod.

Do you have 4.0.2 or 4.2.0?

Is this in your common templates...maybe your header to display your default favicon?

<link rel="Shortcut Icon" href="http://yoursite.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

If it's 4.2.0 most likely can remove it and set favicon within the stylevars and if it's 4.0.2 leave it

Edit:
Earlier versions of vBulletin it was necessary to place the shortcut icon code in the common templates (header) to have the favicon show up in IE browser. This is no longer the case as it can now be set in the stylevars. There might be two codes for favicon.

Silly me...I had the extra code in my header and when I removed it the Nexia's Personal Favicon per Member... Displays

Btw, I had posted the wrong vb version earlier which I have since edited with the correct version. My vb version is 4.2.0 patch level2 (and not 4.0.2).

Also this is really cool and I hope we can figure out what my issue is. Thanks for you time when looking into this!

I use vb4.2.0 and have same problem as psychobike, but I am starting to think its a browser issue, because when I view any vb4.2.0 forum no favicons are showing in address bar I am using Mozilla firefox 14.01 the newest version...
