I've managed to hack in some code to SMF so that if a user doesn't have an Avatar, they are given a default one depending on their group.

Here's the code I used:

Code Select Expand

// Show avatars, images, etc.?
if (!empty($settings['show_user_images']) && empty($options['show_no_avatars']) && !empty($message['member']['avatar']['image']))
echo '
<li class="margintop" style="overflow: auto;">', $message['member']['avatar']['image'], '</li>';
else
{
switch($message['member']['group_id'])
{
case 1 : $npc_ava = "default_avatars/elder.gif"; break;
case 2 : $npc_ava = "default_avatars/council.gif"; break;
case 9 : $npc_ava = "default_avatars/member.gif"; break;
case 11 : $npc_ava = "default_avatars/srmember.gif"; break;
case 10 : $npc_ava = "default_avatars/trialee.gif"; break;
default : $npc_ava = "default_avatars/newb.gif";
}

echo '
<li class="margintop" style="overflow: auto;"><img src="',  $npc_ava , '" alt="" \></li>';
}

I've managed to get it working for User Info block on the portal (Version 2.3 btw) but I'm stuck for getting it to work elsewhere, like in Top Posters, News Posts and Staff blocks.
Here's the altered version for User Info.

Code Select Expand

// Show avatars, images, etc.?
if (!empty($settings['show_user_images']) && empty($options['show_no_avatars']) && !empty($message['member']['avatar']['image']))
echo '
', $message['member']['avatar']['image'], '<br \>';
else
{
switch($member_info['group_id'])
{
case 1 : $npc_ava = "default_avatars/elder.gif"; break;
case 2 : $npc_ava = "default_avatars/council.gif"; break;
case 9 : $npc_ava = "default_avatars/member.gif"; break;
case 11 : $npc_ava = "default_avatars/srmember.gif"; break;
case 10 : $npc_ava = "default_avatars/trialee.gif"; break;
default : $npc_ava = "default_avatars/newb.gif";
}

echo '
<img src="',  $npc_ava , '" alt="" \><br \>';
}

Any ideas how I can resolve this? I need to some how pick up if the avatar field is empty, and if so then use the correct image for the group and resize if needed.

I'm a C\C++ guy, so I only know very limited and basic PHP and SQL.

Cheers

Nevermind, fixed it.

I was looking at where the requests from the database were assigned. I looked a bit further on and just used the same method plus adding in a new request for group ID and it worked.
