Simply adding the following code to search_results_threadbit works:

require_once('./includes/functions_user.php');
        $userid = $thread['postuserid'];
        $username = $thread['postusername'];
        $avatarurl = fetch_avatar_url($userid);
        if ($avatarurl == '') {
          $avatar = "<div class='avatar_forumdisplay' style='float:$stylevar[left]'><a href='member.php?u=$userid'><img src='$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/aucun_avatar.gif' border='0' width='50' height='50' alt='Profile for $username'></a></div>";
        }
        else {
          $avatar = "<div class='avatar_forumdisplay' style='float:$stylevar[left]'><a href='member.php?u=$userid'><img src='$avatarurl[0]' border='0' width='50' height='50' alt='Profile for $username'></a></div>";
        }

I cannot find the search_results_threadbit template. Where is it located? Where should I place the code?

Thanks for your help.

I really like this plugin.

i had to go to the actual plug-in to make the changes.. i made the changes there... and i got it to work fine...

[DoB Rhapsody]

Has anyone really got this to work 100% without errors of any kind including the ones stated in earlier posts? Such as the problem with users changing their avvys' and pulling avvys from the DB.

[vertigo jones]

Does this add an additional query for each thread displayed or how does that fetch_avatar_url function work?

Basically will do the same as the original hack but instead displays the last poster and avatar. It's 7:40 am and I'm tired as crap so I didn't make it pretty and didn't even make it a product file.

It works with custom avatars, filesystem avatars, and forum stock avatars. If your users do not have an avatar it will display the noavatar.gif that you will need to upload to your misc image directory.

I'm not hi-jacking this thread and I am offering 0 support. You just seemed desperate for a modification like this so I thought I'd be nice. I might release it as it's own hack if there's a demand.

On a side note, I sent the original author a new copy of his hack which worked with filesystem and db avatars back in May but I guess he opted not to release it *shrug*

Anyway xcingix, you can download your own personal mod here

Only thing I can think of that may suck for you is if you're using table prefixes, think I forgot to add that to a couple lines in the first query because, well, I'm tired

Thanks.
Hope you're around when 3.7.0 comes out.
I'm holding off on mods till then.

This is great but it doesn't show the default avatars nor does it show avatars that are already on the forums. Just shows avatars that have been uploaded by people manually or from a website.

[rigodiaz]

Beautiful!

Thanks!

[AngelMR]

nice work

[Magnum164]

Got it loaded and works good. However it needs to show the default Avatar as opposed to the users custom avatar.

Anyway to change this?

[Magnum164]

I have this installed, but not working yet. I have not been able to get it to work on regular avatars, only custom avatars and a couple of forums have no avatars at all.

Any idea how to get default avatars to show for a user?
