Avatar Opacity for online / offline

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=64606

Another template edit turned hack.

So here is the idea, when a user is online the avatar would be just like a regular avatar when they are offline the avatar would be faded
Well for the postbit its very simple as the online varible is already there

youll need to find

 
<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="$avatarurl" alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" /></a>

and replace it with

<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="$avatarurl" alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" <if condition="$onlinestatus !=1">style="filter:alpha(opacity=90); -moz-opacity: 0.7;"</if> /></a>

Feel free to change the code in red, this is the level of opacitiy

Next will be the online / offline avatar for the memberslist
well sadly i forgot somthing because from time to time i need to remember im not a php coder, at this time i have not figured out how to get this to work in the memberlist yet, however i will keep working at it ^^

hmmm I was doing this myself on vB 2 but it required a hack iirc, its a cool trick.

Yea well the postbit status is not the hardone, but now that i think & look at it, i dont think there is a way to get it to work on the memberlist sadly

[Tony G]

Is indeed a cool trick.

Doesn't matter about the memberlist, doesn't have to show online/offline status for a person. They can look in the postbit.

ME and boofo were talking about it at vB.org however (moves) its in the right place now

[tccra]

This works great except ... all avatars opacity is reduced, not just those that are offline. How can I screw up one line of text pasting?


??

I'm finding the same ... and doing some debugging, it looks like the variable $onlinestatus does not exist in postbit - it's there in the postbit_onlinestatus, but not in postbit (I tested this by adding

Online: $onlinestatus

to the postbit, and it rendered

Online:

Any ideas ?

[Zachery]

Well, that is odd O.o it should work by all means, ill go and see why its not

<wonders off>

[Tradjick]

It´s not working for me either. Should it also work on vB 3.01 ?

[Ryan Ashbrook]

I'll test it out, I've been looking for this anyway.

Indeed, it's not working...
