Not Supported Template Edits Re-usable Code Translations

The premise of this mod is simple; it replaces the avatar of a banned user with a picture you want to replace it with, maybe a banned image or something that humiliates the member.

This allows you to put 'Banned' avatars to decent use (those that say banned on them in big, bold letters).

Updates:

Version 1.0: Released

Version 1.1: Replaced MEMBERINFO template change so the 'No Avatar' mods work with this...

Version 1.2 Released which allows this to work on the Legacy Postbit.

How to use:

First, find in Postbit:

Code:

<if condition="$show['avatar']"><td class="alt2"><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="$post[avatarurl]" $post[avwidth] $post[avheight] alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" /></a></td></if>

Replace with:

Code:

<if condition="$show['avatar']">
<td>
<if condition="is_member_of($post, 8)">
<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="images/avatars/banned.PNG" alt="Member is Eliminated" title="Member is Eliminated" /></a>
<else />
<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">
<img src="$post[avatarurl]" $post[avwidth] $post[avheight] alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" />
</a>
</if></td></if>

Then, in Memberinfo template, find:

Code:

<if condition="$show['avatar']">
                <td><img src="$userinfo[avatarurl]" $userinfo[avatarsize] alt="<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" style="border:1px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-top:none" /></td>
            <else />
                <td>&nbsp;</td>
            </if>

And replace with:

Code:

<if condition="$show['avatar']">
<td>
<if condition="is_member_of($post, 8)">
<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$vbulletin->userinfo[userid]"><img src="images/avatars/banned.PNG" alt="Member is Eliminated" title="Member is Eliminated" /></a>
<else />
<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$vbulletin->userinfo[userid]">
<img src="$userinfo[avatarurl]" userinfo[avwidth] userinfo[avheight] alt="<phrase 1="$vbulletin->userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" />
</a>
</if></td></if>

Screenshots and Banned Image I used below (or use a banned image from one of the many avatar packs that has them even though they aren't usable by default):

To add to Legacy Template, search for avatar and change that part of the code to:

Code:

<if condition="$show['avatar']">
<if condition="is_member_of($post, 8)">
<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="images/avatars/banned.PNG" alt="Member is Eliminated" title="Member is Eliminated" /></a>
<else />
                <div class="smallfont">
                    &nbsp;<br /><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="$post[avatarurl]" $post[avwidth] $post[avheight] alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" /></a>
                </div>
            </if>
</if>

Common Questions

1. How do I change the image URL for the banned avatar?

You replace images/avatars/banned.PNG with whatever you want to replace it with.

2. What's with the basic default image?

I needed a default, had short time and my board has a distinct gaming theme, therefore the default is of a Glum Reaper from Super Mario RPG.

3. It don't work!

Make sure banned users can use/display avatars. Then the mod should work.

4. Can I submit a banned image?

Yes

Thanks to:

whitemike for saying why the original code did not work in the profile.

Myself for obvious reason.
