[Solved] HOWTO: User avatar besides posts

shozen1

Rather than try to explain, there is a site here that does what I am looking for: http://newbuddhist.com/

As you can see, besides each post is the users avatar. How do I make this work for my forum?

hi

you could copy the views from /applications/vanilla/views/discussions/helper_functions.php to /themes/your_theme_name/views/discussions/helper_functions.php and edit

(note the the code below remove the space character after < )
before line 45 ( < div class="Meta "> )
add
< span class="Author">
< ?php
echo UserPhoto($Author);
?>
< /span>

after i don't know ho activate the userphoto function...

i only successful display "toto" before line 45 in /applications/vanilla/views/discussions/helper_functions.php for find the line in code...

if you know the next step, post here please

these solutions work, but I think it's not the way to go because in the next update gonna crush changes

for helper_functions.php
copy the views from /applications/vanilla/views/discussions/helper_functions.php to /themes/your_theme_name/views/discussions/helper_functions.php

and for /plugins/Gravatar/default.php and /applications/vanilla/models/class.discussionmodel.php we must extend classes... (i don't know really how to do this)

the http://www.vanilla-wiki.info/Bugs/VariousTips was actually taken from that thread. and one way or another it will still be crushed because the discussion model needs to be modified to access the Last user's photo. but i agree it will help lessen the work should you do an update.

@Aolee - thanks for this

@ced - do you know when the update is planned for release? if there is no approximate date I think I will just go ahead with the changes.

EDIT: its fixed and working, thanks guys.

I have noticed that when a user has a gravatar image, it is not used as an avatar besides the post and instead just the default image is shown. is this fixable?
