Profile Pic or Avatar?

[Kihon Kata]

On "my blog", the user's profile pics are there and NOT avatars, is this the way it's supposed to be?

[Onimua]

Yes, that's how it appears here as well.

[Grover]

And... what happens then if you do not allow Profile Pictures on your site?

Wouldn't it be better if we had the choice to either use the Avatars or the Profile Pictures for the Blog?

[Onimua]

It would.

If you don't have a profile pic, it should display your avatar. At least that's how I've understood it to work.

That is how it does work. You should be able to edit the user sidebar template and replace the condition that chooses the profile pic with just the avatar code if that is what you want.

I found the template (blog_sidebar_user) but not really sure what code to search for to find the profile picture and replace with the avatar picture.

Could you give just a little more direction there?

A lot of my users have oversized profile pictures and that obscures the blog content.

The profile pictures shall be resized to fit in your sidebar.

The profile pictures shall be resized to fit in your sidebar.

What is that, some sort of wishful thinking?

I would have used "Abbra Cadabra" if I thought it'd help. :cool:

If they aren't being resized then that means they are older profile pictures that predate the time when we started storing the dimensions of the image. You can reupload those specific images, wait for 1.0.1 for a script to update the images, or you can try the user supplied code at http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/project.php?issueid=23095

Think it has something to do with the following code...
Direction will be appreciated though - As I want to show the avatar - just don't see an option for that anywhere.

Help please!

<if condition="$show['profilepic']">
<div style="text-align:center; margin-bottom:$stylevar[cellpadding]px">
<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$userinfo[userid]"><img src="$userinfo[profilepicurl]" $userinfo[ppwidth] $userinfo[ppheight] alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[xs_profilepic]</phrase>" border="0" class="alt2" style="<if condition="$userinfo['ppwidthpx'] > 180">max-width:180px; height:auto; width:auto !important; width:180px<else />display:inline</if>" /></a>
</div>
<else />
<if condition="$show['avatar']">
<div style="text-align:center; margin-bottom:$stylevar[cellpadding]px">
<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$userinfo[userid]"><img src="$userinfo[avatarurl]" $userinfo[avwidth] $userinfo[avheight] alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" class="alt2" style="<if condition="$userinfo['avwidthpx'] > 180">max-width:180px; height:auto; width:auto !important; width:180px<else />display:inline</if>" /></a>

Try replacing all of that code with
<if condition="$show['avatar']">
<div style="text-align:center; margin-bottom:$stylevar[cellpadding]px">
<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$userinfo[userid]"><img src="$userinfo[avatarurl]" $userinfo[avwidth] $userinfo[avheight] alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" class="alt2" style="<if condition="$userinfo['avwidthpx'] > 180">max-width:180px; height:auto; width:auto !important; width:180px<else />display:inline</if>" /></a>
</div>
</if>
