Did you use my avatar code I posted on the forums once? I would find it for you, but I'm a bit short of time.

Sorry dismounted I have been looking through your posts and cannot find the avatar code that you have posted.

When you have time it would be very appreciated if you could help me with this.

Thank you.

PHP Code:

// include backend
require_once('./global.php');
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_user.php');

// setup avatar if exists
$avatar = fetch_avatar_url($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']);
if ($avatar != '' AND $vbulletin->options['avatarenabled'])
{
    $avatarurl = $avatar[0];
}

bump, sorry i need to know where to put this

In a plugin. $avataurl will contain the URL, so just use a normal image tag.

Thanks Dismounted, so I put that code in as a plugin, than I put $avataurl in the navbar where I want to display the avatar???

Also with the plugin, what hook location do I put it?

Thanks so much?

Also how would I have like a default avatar their, just an image like I in vBadvanced, that says "No avatar" and when they click it it brings them to the avatar options?

[Dismounted]

Hook Location: global_start

As I said before, $avatarurl only contains the URL (as per the variable name). You will have to code the image tag.

As dismounted says, put <a href="$avatarurl" alt="" /> in the navbar template.
