Sender Avatar In Private Message List
Mod Version: 1.00, by .Tim

I've seen a few requests for it and wanted it myself, I spent a lot of time on it and then realized I wasted a lot of time and it was actually quite simple. Now this works whether you store your avatars in the filesystem or database.

Upload the plugin. Then:

In your pm_messagelistbit template find:

And replace it with:


You'll be replacing the post icon that shows up between the status icon and the message itself.

If your board allows users to not have an avatar and you're getting red x's on some, do this:

Spoiler (click to open)

My solution is :
Replace in pm_messagelistbit template :

PHP Code:

    <if condition="$show['pmicons']"><td class="alt2"><if condition="$show['pmicon']"><img src="$pm[iconpath]" alt="$pm[icontitle]" /><else />&nbsp;</if></td></if> 


with

PHP Code:

<if condition="$sk_avurl"><td class="alt2" width="80"><img src="$sk_avurl[0]" width="80" /></td><else /><td class="alt2" width="80"><img src="images/no_avatar.jpg" width="80" border="0" /></if></td></if> 


Create a image :
Width 80 and height 80
name : no_avatar.jpg
location : vb/images

and result :

Attached Thumbnails
