Avatars

6th Feb 2006 Danny
Is anyone already working on an avatar plugin? I know EdB had some code going many moons ago, but will it be coming out for phoenix? If no one has already, I might tinker around with it a bit. I'm thinking that you'll be able to upload an image, then have it appear next to all of your posts and comments.

I like it. I uploaded an avatar for myself. I'm also going to try this out on brendoman.com, which is still on 0.9.1.

OOOOooohh, it works in comments, too. I added a .bCommentSmallPrint { clear:left; } so the avatar wouldn't overlap the box border.

Lol, yeah, it requires a tad more work, I was just playing ;)

It should work in any/all versions (with the correct $Item/$Comment ->author->ID call for the version) as it just uses css. I suppose you could also abuse one of the user profile fields (msn/yahoo etc) to contain a link to their chosen avatar image instead, this would allow users to choose their own without having to wait for a css change.

I think if this was going to made into any form of "public release" then I'd be inclined to convert the whole thing to a plugin.
