Is there a way to remove avatars and just have fixed usergroup avatars?

[Matrixsc]

Hello all

 

Just getting to grips with IP.Board and was wondering if there Is there a way to remove avatars and just have fixed usergroup avatars for the groups members are in ?

 

 

See post above for what i mean.

 

I've looked in usergroup settings and can't see an option just to use group avatar only?

 

 

Thank you for your time.

On my skin there are these lines 

		<if test="avatar:|:$author['member_id']">
			<li class='avatar'>
				<if test="canSeeProfiles:|:$this->memberData['g_is_supmod'] OR ( $this->memberData['g_mem_info'] && ! IPSMember::isInactive( $author ) )">
				<a itemprop="url" href="{parse url="showuser={$author['member_id']}" template="showuser" seotitle="{$author['members_seo_name']}" base="public"}" title="{$this->lang->words['view_profile']}: {$author['members_display_name']}" class='ipsUserPhotoLink'>
				</if>
				<if test="hasVariable:|:$this->settings['member_topic_avatar_max']">	
					<img itemprop="image" src='{$author['pp_main_photo']}' class='ipsUserPhoto ipsUserPhoto_variable' />
				<else />
					<img itemprop="image" src='{$author['pp_thumb_photo']}' class='ipsUserPhoto ipsUserPhoto_large' />
				</if>
				<if test="canSeeProfiles2:|:$this->memberData['g_is_supmod'] OR ( $this->memberData['g_mem_info'] && ! IPSMember::isInactive( $author ) )">
				</a>
				</if>
			</li>
		<else />
			<li class='avatar'>
				<img itemprop="image" src='{$author['pp_thumb_photo']}' class='ipsUserPhoto ipsUserPhoto_large' />
			</li>
		</if> 

so to remove change to this

<!--		<if test="avatar:|:$author['member_id']">
			<li class='avatar'>
				<if test="canSeeProfiles:|:$this->memberData['g_is_supmod'] OR ( $this->memberData['g_mem_info'] && ! IPSMember::isInactive( $author ) )">
				<a itemprop="url" href="{parse url="showuser={$author['member_id']}" template="showuser" seotitle="{$author['members_seo_name']}" base="public"}" title="{$this->lang->words['view_profile']}: {$author['members_display_name']}" class='ipsUserPhotoLink'>
				</if>
				<if test="hasVariable:|:$this->settings['member_topic_avatar_max']">	
					<img itemprop="image" src='{$author['pp_main_photo']}' class='ipsUserPhoto ipsUserPhoto_variable' />
				<else />
					<img itemprop="image" src='{$author['pp_thumb_photo']}' class='ipsUserPhoto ipsUserPhoto_large' />
				</if>
				<if test="canSeeProfiles2:|:$this->memberData['g_is_supmod'] OR ( $this->memberData['g_mem_info'] && ! IPSMember::isInactive( $author ) )">
				</a>
				</if>
			</li>
		<else />
			<li class='avatar'>
				<img itemprop="image" src='{$author['pp_thumb_photo']}' class='ipsUserPhoto ipsUserPhoto_large' />
			</li>
		</if> --> 

If you want to add group avatars first upload the images for each group using the name group4.jpg for root admin , group3.jpg for members and so forth in the forumsupload folder using ftp.The extension can be what yu want like gif but you need to change the jpg in the following code to gif.

 

So add this code after the code to remove the current avatar

<li class='avatar'>
<img itemprop="image" src='{$this->settings['upload_url']}/group{$author['member_group_id']}.jpg'  class='ipsUserPhoto ipsUserPhoto_large' />
</li>

did you wanna change it ??

Go to cpanel then search the name of that image....

Copy and replace with another with the same name...

Thanks for your reply , Thing is if i was to do that then it would be the same picture for everyone so i'd rather just not have it so it just shows the usergroup avatar if that can be done ?

 

Thanks

u can also edit this string:

<li class='avatar'>
				<img itemprop="image" src='{$author['pp_thumb_photo']}' class='ipsUserPhoto ipsUserPhoto_large' />
			</li>

to

<!--<li class='avatar'>
				<img itemprop="image" src='{$author['pp_thumb_photo']}' class='ipsUserPhoto ipsUserPhoto_large' />
			</li>-->

What do you mean by fixed usergroup avatars?

What do you mean by fixed usergroup avatars?

He means that he wants every group to have a different avatar but whoever is in a certain group to have the same avatar.

 

Say you and I were an administrator but Phun was a moderator.. You and I would have the same avatar but Phun would have a different avatar.
