Hi,
I'm wondering if there is a hack or a little code change to make possible to display a small text next to each avatar, not custom titles but a predefined text, so under the avatar on each post, it shows a text bellow it, something like:
Username
_________
|*******|
|*******|
|*******|
----------
avatar name 1
________________________
Username
_________
|*******|
|*******|
|*******|
-----------
avatar name 2
Is there any hack for it? It would be a cool feature. Thanks for any help!

Do you mean for all people with avatars or just a few?

I read alot around here but never anything about this. It is possible for you as an admin to do it manualy, but that implies to add a line on each member .cgi and then in the public_topic_page to add something in this string:
$linkname
$user_status
$AvatarBits
$rating_line
|
your routine might look different, I removed
$member_number
and reversed
$user_status
with
$AvatarBits
and I am also running an older.
good luck

try this. In public_topic_page.pl FIND: if(avline) {
document.writeln(avline + "
")
} // end if
// -->
</script>
~;
} # end ifAfter, add: if($AvatarBits ne "") {
$title_from_avy = $Avatar;
if($title_from_avy =~ /^(S+)Avatars/(S+).(S+)$/) {
$title_from_avy = $2;
$title_from_avy =~ s/_/ /isg;
$title_from_avy =~ s/(s+)/ /isg;
} else {
$title_from_avy = "";
}
}then, FIND: ADD BEFORE The only thing you need to do is rename your avatars. If you want an avatar to have "Human - Jedi" under it, name the avatar "Human_-_Jedi.(extension)"

Hi Ian, just that text "Human - Jedi" centered and bold would be fine.

Hi, i have one more question. Could the avatar and the text next to it be added to the user profile? I would like to show an extra row above the first one (the member rank) with the text "Avatar" in the first cell and the avatar image with the text (like Human - Jedi) on the second one, when you enter to someone profile. Thanks for any help!!

Untested: In public_display_profile.pl FIND: $user_profile[7] ||= 0; ADD AFTER: my $AvatarBits = $user_profile[37];
my $title_from_avy;
my $avatar_field = "";
if($AvatarBits ne "") {
$title_from_avy = $AvatarBits;
if($title_from_avy =~ /^(S+)Avatars/(S+).(S+)$/) {
$title_from_avy = $2;
$title_from_avy =~ s/_/ /isg;
$title_from_avy =~ s/(s+)/ /isg;
} else {
$title_from_avy = "";
}
$avatar_field = qq~
<tr bgcolor="$vars_style{AltColumnColor1}">
<td>
<font size="$vars_style{TextSize}" face="$vars_style{FontFace}">
<b>$vars_wordlets{avatar_title}</b>:
</font>
</td>
<td>
<font size="$vars_style{TextSize}" face="$vars_style{FontFace}">
<img src="$AvatarBits" alt="$vars_wordlets{avatar_title}" />
$title_from_avy
</font>
</td>
</tr>~;
} FIND: <font color="$vars_style{TableStripTextColor}" size="$vars_style{TextSize}" face="$vars_style{FontFace}"><b>
$rating_line
</b>
</font>
</td>
</tr>ADD AFTER: Give that a shot and tell me how it works out

Sure you can check this profile: here I believe it's better for the design itself to create a new row bellow the one containing the avatar image with some text like "Race / Occupation" on the first cell, and the avatar name (Human - Jedi) on the second one. It's much better than just place the name under the image. I really appreciate your help (i'll open the forums for public access tomorrow!)

Great, that fixed the problem and now shows under the avatar image its text! I have two more questions Ian:
-Could that text be in a cell bellow, where the first cell say sommething like "Race - Ocuppation:" and the second one that text?
-Now that the forums are open. It seems there is an error in the posts. When someone with an avatar selected make a post, the following messages posted by other users keep showing the avatar text if they don't have selected an avatar. For example. If i post a message and i have the avatar with the text "Human - Jedi" selected, someone with no avatar post a reply after it and bellow his/her username keep showing "Human - Jedi". I think male users with no avatar don't want "Human - Princess" bellow their username!!

That worked perfect, it's just the way i wanted it. You must document this cool little hack Ian! I really appreciate all the help you gave me.  I have a little problem, but i guess it's far from being related to this hack. In the registration form the avatar selection field doesn't show. I've made 2 little modifications to the public_register_form: I removed the "public name" field and i set to "yes" the "Allow the admin to email me" field. But when i left the file to its original state, the problem persits. How could i fix this problem? (i didn't want to open a new topic just for this question) Thank you for all the help you give to all this people over here.

Hi i discovered a little problem, when you are logged out if you enter to someone profile, the avatar doesn't appear (like the missing image rectangle in the browser), when i saw the code i find out that the avatar image address is pointing to the ubbcgi directory instead of the ubb one where the actual avatars are stored. When you are logged in, the avatar appears without any problem. What change do i have to make to fix it? Thanks

Ian, i would like to add to the avatar selection pop-up window the race and ocupation of that particular avatar under the avatar image (above the "Select this Avatar" button) so the user knows which race and ocupation they select, something like this:
Race and Ocupation:
Human - Master Jedi
Is there a way to display an alt text with the race and ocuppation, so the user know it when the move the mouse cursor above the image?
Thanks so much
