Avatar Opacity for online / offline · **Released**: 05-03-2004

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

Code:

 
<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

Code:

<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

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

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

Code:

Online: $onlinestatus

to the postbit, and it rendered

Code:

Online:

Any ideas ?

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

<wonders off>

Tradjick · #9 05-09-2004, 02:06 PM

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

Ryan Ashbrook · #10 05-09-2004, 03:30 PM

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

Indeed, it's not working...
