Place Avatar in VB and Non-VB Pages
Developer Last Online: Apr 2010 
This modification is in the archives.
The following is a bit of code I came up with to continue to use the Avatar in Navbar mod by fraghappy. After searching for many hours I decided just to figure it out myself.
On the bright side, none of the plugins and db queries from the old mod are used. I'll try to support this as much as possible, but I don't foresee anyone having any real issues. It's pretty straight forward. Don't forget to click the INSTALL Features in progress
You just need to become familiar with the following bit of code: This will display a users avatar:
and this is what I use in place of the Avatar in Navbar mod: In navbar template replace:
with this:
In non-vb pages (i.e. vbp_navbar I use vbPortal) I use this code: You must modify this to match your portal or external pages
Then just simply assign the noavatar.gif as the default avatar for your usergroups. From then on your users that have not uploaded a custom avatar will be displayed the noavatar.gif Personally I don't use the no avatar image as the default. I created a custom default avatar for each usergroup. As for the plugin for the original Avatar on Navbar mod, I don't even use it. With this bit of code it's simple and not needed. or if you want to call it directly using an http: use this method:
The user must be logged in to the forums and using cookies to work outside of the forum root. If you are using an integrated portal system you should have no issues!

My attempts to contact the author of Show User's Avatar in Navbar v1.1, fraghappy have been unsuccessful. I'll try to make this into a product with <if> functions to call a default avatar if no custom avatar exists.
None of the original authors code is needed using this method so there shouldn't be an issue! No members have liked this post.

I'd like to have it resize just for the navbar only and then add some ajax function to it so that it expands on mouse over. I'll keep everyone posted on the progress! No members have liked this post.

Set the Minimum Posts field to "0" and select the category that will use it. Give it a Title and click UPLOAD. Note: You can use the same image for each usergroup category but you must upload it for each one separately. Repeat this upload step for each user. I only use two usergroup categories so and both have individual images. I hope this helps you out! No members have liked this post.

thanks for the explanation!
now I'm trying to set an avatar as default so that when a user registers the avatar is already selected in his or her account instead of 'no avatar specified'. Is this possible? No members have liked this post.

Thank you! I was looking for the right code to display avatars in the navbar. I need them to be smaller, too, though.

I am sure it is a dirty cheat, but I just used the html to call the avatar directly in my navbar, then added width="25%" height="25%". It seems to work perfectly. For those with no avatar, the space is just blank. I would really like to use the default avatar instead though, I haven't found anything to do that in anything even close to the current version and I have a lot usergroups, so ....
<crossing fingers you'll put it all together for us>

I take it back - it doesn't update when the avatar is changed or deleted.
