Adding User Avatars to lastpost Node

[J2A]

Just having some difficulty tweaking this template and understanding how the User avatar system works

<xen:avatar user="$forum.lastPost"  img="true" />

I've noticed the size property is used here, but all the sizes are unsuitable for what i require and also with this code it links to the correct profile but the (just shows the default avatar) actual avatar of the user does not display?

Any suggestions how to get this work correctly? Heres what i want it to look like: http://dribbble.com/shots/166859-Forum

Any help would be appreciated! (This should be in the questions section)

Should only require another conditional

James, I just realized if the user doesn't have an avatar set, It shows nothing at all. Not even the default user avatar. What would need to be added to amend this?

I'll look into it, I'm not sure if there's an easy check to see if an avatar is set.

Why don't we just display the default placeholder avatar of that member?

I'll look for a more efficient way to do this in the morning (hopefully using {xen:helper avatar}).

I have implemented it without the username in the img-tag (alt="...stPost.username}"). Now it shows no text (username) if there is no avatar set.

Work perfectly, thank you James

But, i'am a little problem with default avatar:

 

[James]

Yeah the default avatar doesn't show. Can you change the img href to {xen:helper avatar, $forum.lastPost, s, 0, 1}

Same result

I'm not sure if it's possible to check if an avatar exists in that template. I'll take a look though later.

Maybe you can find some help here: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/alternate-sidebar-members-online-now.9535/

When a user have no Avatar it shows the default Avatar or if the gender is choosen, the gender symbol!

 

[James]

I'm not sure if I can check if the user has an avatar. The helpers don't work because not enough information is exposed (so it'll show the default avatar for everyone)

In EXTRA.css, put (for example):

.nodeLastPost img {
border: 1px solid #c4c4c4 !important;
border-radius: 3px !important;
padding: 2px;
float: left;
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
margin-right: 9px;
}

Ah done it, thanks for your help Allan

 

[clawsonr]

Thank you very much! Novice appreciated and works great!

 

[James]

I don't think it works if the user hasn't got an avatar?

 

[clawsonr]

I found something maybe you can justify James. I see the Avatar and text for the lastest post on my main forum page located here: www.knucklethread.com

But when I click on the forum link and enter into the threads. It just shows the Avatar and the Time it was replied. Is there any way to add the text here too??
