Ok.. I seem to have a
problem for avatars in posts after upgrading to vb 3.8.. I only use custom avatars..
and they dont seem to display in image replies.. (but they do in forum and profile etc...)
I didnt check if normal avatars were working..
so i thought it was time to fix that..
but then.. i ran into several problems.. because: the avatar stuff as it is, is messed up...
- guests cant see avatars
- non admin users that are not allowed to use a standard avatar, cant see avatars from other users... (very strange)
- checks if user has an avatar in database.. not file avatar.. (NOT ISNULL(customavatar.filedata) AS hascustom !!!!)
So i decided to fix it..
the way I wanted it..
which is:
all users can see avatars as long as the poster is allowed to use an avatar! AND vbulletin options allows avatars. so here is the fix:
open showimage.php
find:
Code:
Content visible to verified customers only.
replace with:
Code:
Content visible to verified customers only.
Check the line: $dummyavatar = true;
if a user has no avatar.. this gives him a dummy avatar..
to disable this.. change this line to: $dummyavatar = false;
for vbulletin versions under 3.7 you must set to false, unless you copy a dummy avatar to forum/images/misc/unknown.gif !!! (this image is present in versions above 3.7).
then further on find:
Code:
Content visible to verified customers only.
replace with:
Code:
Content visible to verified customers only.
Hope this helps someone! It
now works for me.. All users can see avatars.. and there is a dummy avatar if user has none..
