Lack of interest No avatar if none is provided

[Adam Howard]

XenForo uses the simple grey avatars when a member does not upload their own. I would love an option that if someone does not supply an avatar, no avatar is displayed for that member.

So rather than this:


You would have this (if no avatar was uploaded by the user)


I think is more cleaner looking than seeing the same dull 'default' repeated.

If you want to achieve that now, it can be done with a template edit and conditional statement.

Oh really? Yes please, do share this knowledge.

I tried doing this myself via template edit, but was fairly sure it would need some sort of code change in the core files.

Haven't really tested it much but in message_user_info:

  <xen:if is="{$user.avatar_date} AND {$user.gravatar}">
     <div class="avatarHolder">
       <span class="helper"></span>
       <xen:avatar user="$user" size="m" img="true" />
       <!-- slot: message_user_info_avatar -->
     </div>
     </xen:if>

Add the conditional around the avatarholder div.

NOPE.

That hides everyone's avatar.

What I want is if no avatar is supplied, that none will be shown. But if you supply an avatar, yours should show.

 

[Paul B]

It should be <xen:if is="!{... for false, <xen:if is="{... for true.

 

[arms]

Shouldn't the AND be an OR?

Again, not what I'm talking about or looking for.

Try this instead?

    <xen:if is="!{$user.avatar_date} AND !{$user.gravatar}">
     <xen:else />
     <div class="avatarHolder">
       <span class="helper"></span>
       <xen:avatar user="$user" size="m" img="true" />
       <!-- slot: message_user_info_avatar -->
     </div>
     </xen:if>

I'm no good with conditionals

 

[Amaury]

How would work in other areas, such as the member card and Staff Online Now block?

 

[Paul B]

The same way.

Template edits using a conditional statement to check for an avatar or gravatar.

WORKS !

You seem to do just fine

There is A LOT of templates that will need to be edited in order to apply this system wide

Would love to still see this as an option though

Personally, I would go with two options:

• Completely disable avatars site wide
• Completely disable "no avatar" avatars site wide

That's the desired preferred goal

 

[Arantor]

I've personally often thought the lack of an avatar in the fashion suggested makes things look uneven.

 

[Adam Howard]

Hello. I'd suggest to have an option to remove avatars only for users without avatars.

http://xenforo.com/community/threads/remove-avatar-from-postbit.75186/#post-781625

I want the same thing, but the current XenForo does not support this function.

I did however suggest it "here"

 

[Newt]

Was looking to do the same and realized that for branding purposes, something like this would be even better. Just replace the default avatars.

Just sayin'
