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.

Well here is my altered code that works for me. Note, I didn't care about the guest code as I don't allow guests to view my board

PHP Code:

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

You can use it with no problems. There is no difference other than the extension in the link in the code. I've edited them out now so you should just be able to cut and paste it in and it will work.

Your code doesnt hyperlink to the UserCP when they have no avatar specified.

I will use your code for now, but I really would like that feature.

$avatarimage='<a href="register.php?s='.$session[sessionhash].'&action=signup"><img border="0" src="images/avatars/guestavatar.gif"></a>';

Try making the paths absolute for guestavatar.gif and noavatar.gif - ie,

PHP Code:

src="http://www.yoursite.com/forums/images/avatars/guestavatar.gif"></a>'; 


etc....
