Allow only certain usergroups avatars

This is a quick hack a whipped up, I didn't see it anywhere. It's my first working hack for vBulletin.

First, you want to open member.php
Find this:

PHP Code:

  if (!$avatarenabled) { 


and replace it with:

PHP Code:

  if($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 8){ 


You will need to change the 8 to whatever usergroup number you want to allow. A simpler way is to only allow admins and mods by putting this:

PHP Code:

  if(ismoderator()){ 


Any questions, comments, or anything you can just post here, I'll be glad to hear from you.

thanks! i've been asking for this!

how would one go about allowing more than one selected user group to have avatars enabled? for instance... mods, admins, and "X" user group

[melondog]

Use this:

PHP Code:

if(!ismoderator() && $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 8){ 


This will allow mods, admins, and also usergroup 8. If you want to add more, just copy and paste the $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 8 and replace the 8 with the other usergroup number.

Hope that helps. :classic:
