The "No Avatar" Option
« on: December 13, 2008, 04:25:14 pm »
Forum Url: http://funcentral.smfforfree2.com
I had recently (well actually about a week- 2 weeks ago) made a topic about a code that would place an image as a default image for a user. This means that if they do not select an avatar, they will have this as their basic avatar (their default avatar).

Since no one has replied to the topic that I made, I have assumed that there is no such code/ option on the SMF For Free forums that do something like this. So I have created a new topic here so that someone can please add this to the forums.

Thanks!

Code: [Select]
$("img:contains('View Profile')").before("<img src='http://somewhere.com/images/default_avatar.png' alt='*' /><br />");
However that makes everyone have a default avatar even if they actually set themselves an avatar. It's either a universal default avatar or everyone has their own choice.

If you do not get a reply for several days you can always bump the topic up but please dont keep making new topics for it

moved to the codes board as that is the only way this could be achieved

oh.. sorry... i thought that because no one had replied to that one, that no such thing existed, so i put it in the suggestions section.. because that was what it was... a suggestion...

ok. maybe this is too hard to do...

here is a better question, how do you change/ block some of the avatar selections?

For example, you can see "no pic" and then [Actors] and then [Anime Avatar], etc.

How do you block some of those and then also change some of them?

i think this will be an easier question because that is what has been done to this forum. (i see that there are only 2 choices sections on this forum).

You cannot change them on your hosted forum
Smf for Free is able to do more here at support as he has access to, and can edit files we do not have access to -  you'll notice some things are different here.

I've already answered your original topic-question.

In reference to the profile-default-avatar change code, you can perhaps manipulate the javascript that creates that area. By that area, I mean this script when you're editing your profile info:

Code: [Select]
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"><!-- // --><![CDATA[
var files = ["Actors/Brad_Pitt.jpg", "Actors/Bruce_Campbell.jpg", "Actors/Bruce_Willis.jpg", "Actors/Cameron_Diaz.jpg", "Actors/Charisma_Carpenter.jpg", "Actors/Christopher_Lambert.jpg", "Actors/Claudia_Schiffer.jpg", "Actors/David_Boreanaz.jpg", "Actors/David_Spade.jpg", "Actors/Denise_Richards.jpg", "Actors/Emilio_Estevez.jpg", "Actors/Eva_Habermann.jpg", "Actors/Freddie_Prinze_Jr.jpg", "Actors/Gwyneth_Paltrow.jpg", "Musicians/Alanis_Morissette.jpg", "Musicians/Avril_Lavigne.jpg", "Musicians/Bob_Marley.jpg", "Musicians/Britney_Spears.jpg", "Musicians/Cardigans.jpg", "Musicians/Christina_Aguilera.jpg", "Musicians/Dido.jpg", "Musicians/Eminem.jpg", "Musicians/Jewel.jpg", "Musicians/Jon_Bon_Jovi.jpg", "Musicians/Korn.jpg", "Musicians/Limp_Bizkit.jpg", "Musicians/Linkin_Park.jpg", "Musicians/Nirvana.jpg", "Musicians/No_Doubt.jpg", "Musicians/Queen.jpg", "Musicians/Shakira.jpg", "Musicians/U2.jpg"];
var avatar = document.getElementById("avatar");
var cat = document.getElementById("cat");
var selavatar = "";
var avatardir = "http://smfsupport.com/support/cavatars/";
var size = avatar.alt.substr(3, 2) + " " + avatar.alt.substr(0, 2) + String.fromCharCode(117, 98, 116);
var file = document.getElementById("file");

if (avatar.src.indexOf("blank.gif") > -1)
changeSel(selavatar);
else
previewExternalAvatar(avatar.src)

function changeSel(selected)
{
if (cat.selectedIndex == -1)
return;

if (cat.options[cat.selectedIndex].value.indexOf("/") > 0)
{
var i;
var count = 0;

file.style.display = "inline";
file.disabled = false;

for (i = file.length; i >= 0; i = i - 1)
file.options[i] = null;

for (i = 0; i < files.length; i++)
if (files[i].indexOf(cat.options[cat.selectedIndex].value) == 0)
{
var filename = files[i].substr(files[i].indexOf("/") + 1);
var showFilename = filename.substr(0, filename.lastIndexOf("."));
showFilename = showFilename.replace(/[_]/g, " ");

file.options[count] = new Option(showFilename, files[i]);

if (filename == selected)
{
if (file.options.defaultSelected)
file.options[count].defaultSelected = true;
else
file.options[count].selected = true;
}

count++;
}

if (file.selectedIndex == -1 && file.options[0])
file.options[0].selected = true;

showAvatar();
}
else
{
file.style.display = "none";
file.disabled = true;
document.getElementById("avatar").src = avatardir + cat.options[cat.selectedIndex].value;
document.getElementById("avatar").style.width = "";
document.getElementById("avatar").style.height = "";
}
}

function showAvatar()
{
if (file.selectedIndex == -1)
return;

document.getElementById("avatar").src = avatardir + file.options[file.selectedIndex].value;
document.getElementById("avatar").alt = file.options[file.selectedIndex].text;
document.getElementById("avatar").alt += file.options[file.selectedIndex].text == size ? "!" : "";
document.getElementById("avatar").style.width = "";
document.getElementById("avatar").style.height = "";
}

function previewExternalAvatar(src)
{
if (!document.getElementById("avatar"))
return;

var maxHeight = 65;
var maxWidth = 65;
var tempImage = new Image();

tempImage.src = src;
if (maxWidth != 0 && tempImage.width > maxWidth)
{
document.getElementById("avatar").style.height = parseInt((maxWidth * tempImage.height) / tempImage.width) + "px";
document.getElementById("avatar").style.width = maxWidth + "px";
}
else if (maxHeight != 0 && tempImage.height > maxHeight)
{
document.getElementById("avatar").style.width = parseInt((maxHeight * tempImage.width) / tempImage.height) + "px";
document.getElementById("avatar").style.height = maxHeight + "px";
}
document.getElementById("avatar").src = src;
}
// ]]></script>

Unsetting each variable or "hiding" the entire script via another script (using jQuery or similar) in the header and then creating your own by following similar formats would be the best way to go about this.

I have tried to create a code like this, but It didn't look very well because there is no spot to actually insert an image to where it should go.

I can try again though :)
