Forum Display Enhancements - If User Hasn't Got An Avatar Show Default Avatar With Link To Set One

I think that when most of your users have custom avatars set it makes your forum look alot better as your user has shown some sort of commitment to it. Using this small template hack it will encourage your users to set an avatar and if they haven't give a nice alternative.

Also, its worth noting that the link to set a new avatar will only be shown to the user, not everyone using the forum.

Firstly, I will show you the one with the default avatar included. Then another version without it.

Ok, so open up the style manager and open the postbit for what ever style you are using. Then where you want your avatar to display paste this code:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[showavatars]">
<img src="DefaultAvatarURL" alt="" border="0" />
<br />
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid'] == $post[userid]">
<a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editavatar">Set Avatar</a>
</if>

Remember to change this src="DefaultAvatarURL" to whatever your image URL is.

So, this will show the default avatar and a link below it to set their own custom avatar.

This version will not show the default avatar, just the link to set one. Do the same as the first step just paste in this code instead.

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[showavatars]">
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid'] == $post[userid]">
<a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editavatar">Set Avatar</a>
</if>

Try this:

<!-- user info -->
  <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellpadding]" border="0" width="100%">
  <tr>
   <if condition="$bbuserinfo[showavatars]">
<img src="DefaultAvatarURL" alt="" border="0" />
<br />
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid'] == $post[userid]">
<a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editavatar">Set Avatar</a>
</if>
</if>
   <td nowrap="nowrap">
    <div id="postmenu_$post[postid]">
     <if condition="$show['profile']">
     <a class="bigusername" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[musername]</a>
     $post[onlinestatus]

Firstly the link is only visible to the user without an avatar so that's not an issue. Secondly there's a text link and it's not the avatar you click.

tried your code (few posts above) and get this error message

PHP Code:

The conditional on line 38 appears to be missing its end tag (</if>). The template will not function properly unless this is fixed. 


some help ?
