Force to use avatars

[SirLANcelot]

Hi!

Maybe, you can help - I hope so .

By now, a new forum user does not have to choose an avatar. When he does not, there is just free space at the avatar place. Now, I want all forumers to have an avatar - at least the basic one, the first available from zero posts on.

Are there any possibilties? I have not found any hack . Is it even possible, to give the user the highest rank, he can have?

I.g. there are three times three different avatars:

from 0 posts on:
A B C

from 10 posts on:
A B C

from 20 posts on:
A B C


It would be fantastic, if a user HAD to use one of the avatars of his rank. I.g. as long he has <10 posts, he uses 0.A, from 10 on, he gets automatically 10.A and so on...

Do understand, what I mean .

I do know that this can be done, since they have a system very similar to that at the Awful Forums. So good luck.

we've been looking into the same thing.

i had an idea about setting one avatar for postcount=>0 then adding the rest for postcount=>1 etc. might make it easier to set the default...


i dunno...

i'm useless with codeing..

i'm just the muck-about-with-avatars-and-stuff guy

I hope to find an answer in this forum, soon .

edit admin/functions.php, find:

$avatarurl="";

Replace it AS:

$avatarurl='http://www.url.com/youravatar.gif';

There is also a hack in the full releases forum that does this

Logician's method worked and was shorted than the one in full releases. Thanks a bunch!

But that will give the same avatar no matter how many posts the user has. SirLANcelot wanted a different default avatar based on a users postcount. Looks like there is a hack to be made.

I'll field this one, Sinan. Watch and learn.
