Avatar/Image Reflection Effect
Mod Version: 1.5, by Tralala

This modification dynamically adds a subtle "reflection" effect underneath avatars and/or images on your forums. The reflection will automatically fade into your forum's background color, whatever it might be. You can also offer this effect as an option for your members' uploaded images via a BB Code.


This effect uses unobtrusive javascript to keep your code clean. It doesn't require additional server work. It works in all the major browsers - Internet Explorer 5.5+, Mozilla Firefox 1.5+, Opera 9+ and Safari. On older browsers, it'll degrade and your visitors won't notice a thing. Best of all, it's under 5KB!



Details:
1 file upload ("reflection.js") to forum's clientscript directory

1 template edit to "header" template

Optional edit: 1 for avatars in thread view ("postbit_legacy" template)
Optional edit: 1 for avatars in thread view ("postbit" template)
Optional edit: 1 for avatars in member profile ("MEMBERINFO" template)
Optional edit: 1 for profile picture in member profile ("MEMBERINFO" template)
Optional edit: 1 for avatars in Members List ("memberlist_resultsbit" template)
Optional edit: 1 for new BBcode (AdminCP -> Custom BB Codes -> BB Code Manager)
Optional edit, not recommended: 1 for ALL images posted inline via standard IMG BBCode ("includes/class_bbcode.php" file)

(All of the above optional edits involve simply inserting class="reflect" to the image HTML code, which adds the reflections. The code to replace for each edit is included in the .zip archive.)

My very first vBulletin hack! Kudos to the fine coders at vBulletin.org whose work inspires me.
