Would somebody know how to show avatar in the header on every page?

I personally don't even understand the nature of question.

I am user.
I uploaded my avatar into my profile.
When I log in I see my (nick)name on every page in the header. ( {$user_usr} )
I want to see also my avatar on every page (in the header for instance).

This needs to be extended in bb_cookie.php. There you should extend SQL request getting user's data, to have avatar's field. Then if the value of that field is equal to 1, some new variable should be formed, containing IMG tag of user's avatar, and you will need to paste this variable in any template... main_header or so.

Thanks.
How much would that cost if you program it for me?

(There are - unfortunately - two kinds of avatars. One that is unique, and user has to upload it, and other that if preloaded and user select it from list, it is visible from this part of bb_plugins:

if($av!='' and $av!='*') $im="<img src=\"{$GLOBALS['main_url']}/img/forum_avatars/{$av}\" alt=\"\" />";
elseif($av!='' and $av=='*') $im="<img src=\"{$GLOBALS['avatarUrl']}/{$GLOBALS['cols'][0]}.mbb\" alt=\"\" />";
)

Correct, such condition should be taken into attention in the code of bb_cookie.php.

$15 - and I think you have my email address. FTP access is also needed, this would be developed straight on your server.

Ok, here is your solution :-)

1. As mentioned, I've upgraded bb_cookie.php to have the following additions:

in admin's login part, I've added this to have your avatar field ('user_custom1' as by default) readable from the database:

if($row=db_simpleSelect(0,$GLOBALS['Tu'],$GLOBALS['dbUserSheme']['user_sorttopics'][1].','.$GLOBALS['dbUserSheme']['lang uage'][1].', '.$GLOBALS['dbUserSheme']['num_posts'][1].', user_custom1',$GLOBALS['dbUserId'],'=',1))

and later in the code:

$username=$GLOBALS['admin_usr'];

$av=$row[3];
if($av!='' and $av!='*') $GLOBALS['uAvatar']="<img src=\"{$GLOBALS['main_url']}/img/forum_avatars/{$av}\" alt=\"\" />";
elseif($av!='' and $av=='*') $GLOBALS['uAvatar']="<img src=\"{$GLOBALS['main_url']}/shared_files/avatars/1.mbb\" alt=\"\" />";
else $GLOBALS['uAvatar']='';


For regular users:

elseif($row=db_simpleSelect(0,$GLOBALS['Tu'],$GLOBALS['dbUserId'].','. $GLOBALS['dbUserSheme']['user_sorttopics'][1].','. $GLOBALS['dbUserSheme']['language'][1].','. $GLOBALS['dbUserAct'] .','. $GLOBALS['dbUserSheme']['user_password'][1] .', '.$GLOBALS['dbUserSheme']['username'][1].', '.$GLOBALS['dbUserSheme']['num_posts'][1].', user_custom1',$caseComp1.$GLOBALS['dbUserSheme']['username'][1].$caseComp2,'=',$usernameSql,'',1)){

$GLOBALS['user_num_posts']=$row[6];

$av=$row[7];
if($av!='' and $av!='*') $GLOBALS['uAvatar']="<img src=\"{$GLOBALS['main_url']}/img/forum_avatars/{$av}\" alt=\"\" />";
elseif($av!='' and $av=='*') $GLOBALS['uAvatar']="<img src=\"{$GLOBALS['main_url']}/shared_files/avatars/{$row[0]}.mbb\" alt=\"\" />";
else $GLOBALS['uAvatar']='';


User's avatar will be associated that way with {$uAvatar} variable. I've put it in main_header.html for your test case, you could put it under user_logged_in.html modifying HTML output as well. For example, add style="height:20px" to the image tag to reduce it in height upon the defined maximum (for better layout compliance), etc.

Let me know if you have further questions, and thank you for paying my dinner in advance ;-)

OK, it seems to work except the default avatar.

Where should I put the path to the default image?

Overhere:?
else $GLOBALS['uAvatar']='path to default image';


(It will be hidden in javasript menu, so it will not screw any design, dont worry :-) )

Checker plus user info incl. avatar
