setting a default avatar

[brazzaville]

I've been looking through the forums and found a couple topics about setting a default avatar in a bridged gallery. I'm looking to set a default avatar image for users who don't have one chosen to be displayed by their comments. My PHP skills are minimal but with a little direction I'm sure I could make it work. 

Anyone have any advice on what file to look at to do this?

Thanks in advance:)

at some places you'll have to look for a check if a valid avatar URL is given... if not, then add your default
eg. in avatar_manage.php

Code Select Expand

if ($avatar_url !="") $avatar_url = "<img src='".$avatar_url."' class=\"image\">";
else $avatar_url="";

make the else reflect your default avatar image like

Code Select Expand

else $avatar_url="<img src='".$CONFIG['ecards_more_pic_target']."images/default_avatar.jpg' class=\"image\">";


other places to look at...
buddy_manage.php

Code Select Expand

if ($i['avatar_url']) {
$avatar_url=AVATAR_PATH.$i['avatar_url'];
$preview = <<<EOT
<img src="$avatar_url" alt="" class="image" /></a>
EOT;
} else {
$preview = "&nbsp;&nbsp;";
}


themes.inc.php

Code Select Expand

if($cpg_udb->can_join()){
if ($CONFIG['enable_avatar']){
        ($row['avatar_url'] != "") ? $avatar_url= "<img src='".AVATAR_PATH.$row["avatar_url"]."' class='image' style='float: left; margin-right: 5px;' alt='' />" : $avatar_url = '';
}
else $avatar_url="";
} else { // only used when tables can't be joined... then we need to query for the avatar URL -> function get_avatar
if ($CONFIG['enable_avatar']){
$result2 = $cpg_udb->get_avatar($row['author_id']);
$avatar_url= preg_replace('/\/\//','/',AVATAR_PATH.$result2["avatar_url"]);
        ($result2['avatar_url'] != "") ? $avatar_url= "<img src='".$avatar_url."' class='image' style='float: left; margin-right: 5px;' alt='' />" : $avatar_url = '';
}
else $avatar_url="";
}

pms.php

Code Select Expand

if ($CONFIG['enable_avatar']){
        ($cur_post['avatar_url'] != "") ? $avatar_url= "<br /><br /><img src='".$cur_post["avatar_url"]."' class='image' width='".$CONFIG['mini_thumb_width']."' height='".$CONFIG['mini_thumb_height']."'>" : $avatar_url = '';
}


profile.php

Code Select Expand

if ($CONFIG['enable_avatar']) {
if (AVATAR_URL !="") $avatar_url = "<a href='avatar_manage.php'><img src='".AVATAR_PATH.AVATAR_URL."' class=\"image\"></a>";
else $avatar_url="&nbsp;";
    $edit_profile_form_param[] = array('textplain', $avatar_url, $lang_register_php['manage_avatar']);

if (isset($_GET['uid'])) {
$user_data = $cpg_udb->get_user_infos($_GET['uid']);
$avatar_url = $user_data['avatar_url'];
if ($avatar_url !="") $avatar_url = "<img src='".AVATAR_PATH.$avatar_url."' class=\"image\">";
}
}

and

Code Select Expand

if ($CONFIG['enable_avatar'] && $avatar_url !="") {
if ($avatar_url) $display_profile_form_param[] = array('textplain', $avatar_url,"User Avatar");
}



I think that's all.. pretty easy to change

hello stramm..

how did you mean that?

I search also a default avatar mod, when an user choose a avatar than display that, when not should display a default avatatar..is this avaible?

[Stramm]

I've described above how to code the default avatar mod

[DaBe]

yes but...must I replace the code with another or paste the code in the php files..and where exactly I must paste the code?

[Stramm]

lol, that's more than the advice you asked for in your first post

Next time I'm bored I'll come up with the changes

[gavu]

it worked perfect for me too,

is there a way to set default_avatar on the comments page too?

thanks

[DaBe]

Then why do you hijack this thread? Stay out of it with totally unrelated issues
