Not sure what this means. A lot of people have claimed to add an avatar but not a one of them have shared how.
According to this there should be a position, but it doesn't show in the list. I suppose you could try adding it in using the Widget Framework..
Resource icon
[bd] Rotating Ads 2.0
- Thread starter xfrocks
- Start date
That was meant for someone else.. and I haven't heard or seen anyone able to actually add a custom avatar lol.. However I could share my findings, like I said though it is not the best way by far and I am still trying to find another way but for now it works.. you would need to modify/add some templates through your admin panel though..
Oh, i was just commenting, if you read back from the beginning some have said they did it but never said how. Sure, i would love to see how you did it thanks.
Did some Google and found the following:
You can read more at the bottom of the following post:

Ahh ok, well it's simple actually but also might break something.. I haven't "tested" it thoroughly lol..
First what you need to do is create 2(Two) new templates and call them whatever you wish I named mine after the templates your going to copy.
For the 2 new templates you created you are going to copy and paste the following templates one into each of the new templates, message_user_info and message.
Mine are named "message_user_info_ads" and "message_ads" so that is what I will refer to.
At the top of your new template "message_ads" you will want to find the following:
Code:
<xen:include template="message_user_info">
<xen:map from="$message" to="$user" />
</xen:include>
Code:
<xen:include template="message_user_info_ads">
<xen:map from="$message" to="$user" />
</xen:include>Next open your "message_user_info_ads" and again find this at the top:
Code:
<div class="avatarHolder">
<span class="helper"></span>
<xen:avatar user="$user" size="m" img="true" />
<!-- slot: message_user_info_avatar -->
</div>
Code:
<xen:avatar user="$user" size="m" img="true" />
Code:
<div class="avatarHolder">
<span class="helper"></span>
<img width="96" height="96" alt="UOFreeshards" src="styles/uo.jpg"></img>
<!-- slot: message_user_info_avatar -->
</div>Save and your done with this template.
The last template you need to modify is, rotating_ads_second_post.
Locate the following line near the top:
Code:
<xen:include template="message">
Code:
<xen:include template="message_ads">Save and your done.
After that just refresh your page and it should show a custom avatar, the only downside is if you upgrade or add a mod that changes either of those templates you *might* have to recopy and modify your template files. As of right now this is the only way I have found to add in the custom avatar and it's sloppy but it works.
@Iomega0318
That doesn't look sloppy to me because you are just adding new templates, but i am no expert either.

If it works it works lol, since it isn't calling the templates for anything but the "second ad post" it shouldn't interfere with any other post from what I can tell.
Works perfect thank you, it is very easy also, if we upgrade in the future it should only a couple of minutes to fix templates, thanks again.
No problem, just bugged me that it had the default avatar
.. and indeed not like it'd be hard to recopy and paste lol..

Is this add-on XF 1.4.x compatible? Where can I see some screenshots or demo site? Thanks!
It works with XenForo 1.4.1
I currently have an ad block on my site using this add-on to do the following:
1. If guest (unregistered, not a member) - show a Welcome/Sign Up Now banner graphic.
2. If logged in (registered member) - show a specific ad banner.
What I am trying to do now, if possible is add a third ad that would suppress the second one completely if the conditions are met. Namely:
3. If logged in (registered member) AND today is birthday - suppress #2 ad banner and ONLY show Birthday Banner instead.
How do I do that? Currently if the member is logged in, and it is their birthday, the ad rotates between ad banner, and Birthday Banner.
Thanks.

How about 1.4.2?It works with XenForo 1.4.1
Works fine with 1.4.2
Is it possible to use geo target ads?
Yes, there is an option to filter ads by region
Where is that option? I try to find it.
@Hristo Avramov When you edit an ad item it is the last option under the "User Criteria" tab.
