The Guest & No Avatar Question

Posted: Mon Jan 17, 2005 3:28 pm

Okay, *sigh*. I've tried almost everything I can find out there to fix the problem of having both the 'Guest_avatar' and the 'No_Avatar' for Php-Nuke. Nothing so far has helped. The last thing I tried was installing this script, (though it didn't work) creds to whoever wrote it:

Code:

#
#-----[ COPY ]------------------------------------------
#
copy no_avatar.gif and guest_avatar.gif to themes/YOUR_THEME/forums/images/

#
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#
modules/Forums/viewtopic.php

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
case USER_AVATAR_GALLERY:
$poster_avatar = ( $board_config['allow_avatar_local'] ) ? '<img src="' . $board_config['avatar_gallery_path'] . '/' . $postrow[$i]['user_avatar'] . '" alt="" border="0" />' : '';
break;
}
}

#
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
//
// Default Avatar MOD - Begin
//
if ( empty($poster_avatar) && $poster_id != ANONYMOUS)
{
$poster_avatar = '<img src="'. $images['no_avatar'] .'" alt="" border="0" />';
}
if ( $poster_id == ANONYMOUS )
{
$poster_avatar = '<img src="'. $images['guest_avatar'] .'" alt="" border="0" />';
}
//
// Default Avatar MOD - End
//

#
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#
modules/Forums/includes/usercp_viewprofile.php

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
case USER_AVATAR_GALLERY:
$avatar_img = ( $board_config['allow_avatar_local'] ) ? '<img src="' . $board_config['avatar_gallery_path'] . '/' . $profiledata['user_avatar'] . '" alt="" border="0" />' : '';
break;
}
}

#
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
//
// Default Avatar MOD - Begin
//
if ( empty($avatar_img) )
{
$avatar_img = '<img src="'. $images['no_avatar'] .'" alt="" border="0" />';
}
//
// Default Avatar MOD - End
//

#
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#
modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/subSilver.cfg (and all the other templates you have installed)

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
?>

#
#-----[ BEFORE, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
//
// Default Avatar MOD
//
$images['default_avatar'] = "modules/Forums/$current_template_images/no_avatar.gif";
$images['guest_avatar'] = "modules/Forums/$current_template_images/guest_avatar.gif";

#
#-----[ SAVE/CLOSE ALL FILES ]------------------------------------------
#
# EoM

When I'm logged out on my site (http://sirryan.pure-fun.com), the avatar on the right block shows up as.....that infernal red 'x' block! When I right click on it, the path is pointed to: http://sirryan.pure-un.com/modules/Forums/images/avatars/gallery/blank.gif

Please help me resolve this demonic problem once and for all! Very Happy

I use PHP-Nuke version 7.2. Thanks!

Sorry, I don't think was clear enough about what exactly it is I wanted (plus I am newbish). I'm trying to just get the 'guest_avatar' and the 'no_avatar' to display for the block on the right of my homepage, the User Info block. I don't have guest forum posting enabled. I wanted the 'guest_avatar' to display instead of the 'blank.gif' on the right block whenever a non-user comes onto my site, and the 'no_avatar' for those users who haven't selected an avatar yet. Is this even possible? I thought that PortedMods.Com had this once on one of their user menu blocks. I'd really like to see this option available!

Post in simple Newbish, please. Thnx! Wink

when i go to your site, on the right side, i see a "Guest" avatar. I have not signed up for an account and never been to your site before. I see no Red X.

I registered, yet i have not gotten the activation email yet...so i cannot test the other.

Hope that helps.
