Nice i will give it a try later.

I would install but I don't want to force users to have Gavartar plus I am using Facebook connect so I don't want it to have a huge impact on my site and cause errors anyway of having an option where they can still use custom avatars but have the option to enter gavartar username and passowrd which will upload there avatar from there.

Rickeo, that is a valid concern - when I work on this some more, I'll try to make this selectable on a per-user basis. But like I wrote in the description - I needed something NOW, and this does the job. Quick n' dirty, but effective.

I haven't encountered any problems yet - you can see how it looks at http://forums.fxinstructor.com

Yeah it is a good start but I will also wait for another version that can support the ability to either use a custom uploaded avatar or one from gravatar.

Thanks, installed...

If the user dont use a custom avatar uploaded by himself then we force a gravatar for him.
i mean use gravatar as default avatar until they upload a custom one.

Btw, nice mod!

What if we give an option through profile fields as "Use my gravatar".
If choosen then we could put the gravatar. Else normal avatar.

Thank you for the feedback, guys! I will try to overcome the limitations of this version for my next release, so stay tuned.

Great suggestions!

Just posted version 1.1 which deals with several issues which have been discussed so far, mainly the ability to select which groups of users get their avatars replaced - everybody, those with avatars, or those without avatars.

For the next version I will try to let users themselves choose what they want to use. For now its still in the hands of the admin.

This only works for 'postbit' and not the 'postbit_legacy'.

Would be good for it to detect which is in use and use the appropriate set of regular expression patterns accordingly.

[buro9]

And you're doing a query per postbit in showthread?

So for my default setting of 50 posts per page, my showthread goes from 13 queries to 63 queries per page?

You might want to consider modifying the call for the postbits to add the email address there or better still to have mysql perform the md5 and return that.

I love this hack, it's great. And the postbit > postbit_legacy changes are small. But I can't take a performance hit like that on the database. When this bit is fixed I'll enable it again... until then disabled.

[EugeneFXI]

Buro, thank you for the feedback!

The latest version adds support for postbit_legacy, and I have moved the md5 calculation to the database query - but I can't eliminate the query (at least not until I figure out how to get the poster's email address )

Any suggestions?

[adc-arab]

[EugeneFXI]

Hey Adc-Arab - thanks for the comment!

I'll check out how the prison bars mod interacts with the postbit and will release an update - will keep you posted.
