Description of problem

Hi!

without this : https://i.imgur.com/Cxin8TV.jpg
with avatar (manipulated): https://i.imgur.com/q0hZaki.jpg

I would like add avatar, like in the pic (this pic is manipulated with ps) to my privmsgs_body // Private messages list.
Is it possible? And if yes, how?

Thank you so much

Maybe this could help. You just need to modify code a little.

Thanks your answer but can u help how?

hello

what is your forum url please?

Sorry but this is a private forum for me where I am trying out different styles/ideas and I would like to keep the link private because there is literally nothing on it yet. I don't really know what the url would help because I simply ask if it could be done or not and how. I mean my forum base is phpBB2 I have an administrator acces. I just want to know that could it be done and how?

I made this with photoshop I would like to know if it is possible to do so with code. Thank you in advance!

Hello @goldeneBlume407,

The forum link is needed to check the codes if they work. We do not have all type of forums and some codes may vary on different versions. As for your issue, as far as i know, no version so far has this column you want to add. I am sure it's possible though.

Regards.

@goldeneBlume407,

This is one code that should work if there are not "hard" changes on the templates.
You have to add this Javascript (Modules > Javascript > Create a new javascript) to all the pages with any name you wish:

Code:

$(function(){
  var style = document.createElement('STYLE'), css = '.mini_ava2>img{height:20px;margin-right:5px;width:20px;}';
  style.type = 'text/css';
  if (style.styleSheet) style.styleSheet.cssText = css;
  else style.appendChild(document.createTextNode(css));
  document.getElementsByTagName('HEAD')[0].appendChild(style);
   
      if(!window.localStorage) return;
   
      // Default avatar
        var default_avatar= 'https://2img.net/i/fa/invision/pp-blank-thumb.png';
   
      // Time of cache 24h*60m*60s*1000ms - one day
        var caching_time= 24*60*60*1000;
   
      // Time of cache in case of error 60s*1000ms - one minute
        var caching_error= 60*1000;
   
      var set_avatar= function(id) {
            $('.mini_ava2.member'+id).html('<img src="'+get_avatar(id)+'" />');
        };
   
      var get_avatar= function(id) {
            if(localStorage.getItem('t_ava'+id) < +new Date - caching_time || (localStorage.getItem('d_ava'+id)==default_avatar && localStorage.getItem('t_ava'+id) < +new Date - caching_error))
            {
                localStorage.setItem('d_ava'+id, default_avatar);
                $.get('/u'+id, function (d){
                    localStorage.setItem('t_ava'+id,+new Date);
                  localStorage.setItem('d_ava'+id, $('#profile-advanced-right .module:first img,.forumline td.row1.gensmall:first > img, .frm-set.profile-view.left dd img,dl.left-box.details:first dd img, .row1 b .gen:first img, .real_avatar img',d).first().attr('src')||default_avatar);
                    set_avatar(id);
                });
            }
            return localStorage.getItem('d_ava'+id);
        };
   
      var to_replace= {};
   
      $('form[name*="privmsg"] span.name a[href^="/u"]').each(function(){
            to_replace[$(this).attr('href').substr(2)]= 1;
            $(this).before('<span class="mini_ava2 member'+$(this).attr('href').substr(2)+'"></span>');
        });
   
      for(i in to_replace)
        {
            set_avatar(i);
        };
   
  });

This code works with cookies. That means that once it's loaded, the images are there for the next day. Each day, this code checks for changes to avatars and if there are any it applies it a day after. If the code shows the default avatar instead of the normal one, give it a chance and reload the page and if it doesn't show the normal one means there's something wrong..
If more help is needed i'd be glad to attend to the problem, but i'll need an account to check the problem (if they appear)!

Regards.

Thank you. But I have another problem. If I try this code on another page with the same basis(phpBB2) it does not work at all. Or simply just shows the "default avatar". Is there a way to solve this?

The "other" forum you are applying about, does it have heavily changed templates?

No it has the same basic template

This may need some time to load or perhaps you have other javascripts that affect its purpose.

Is this now solved?

What seems to be the occurring problem?

It only worked on the forum I linked and I can't seem to find the problem why doesn't it work anywhere else. I have the same javascript codes and almost everything is the same and still it's not working.

Maybe it's the cache time set in the javascript. As i mentioned above, if the avatars don't load normally, it either be a problem with the forum or it needs the time to load, which is a day, or every minute if there's an error there.

Is there a way to make it load more often?

Yes, change line 14 to this:

Code:

 var caching_time= 60*1000;

This will make it load every minute.

Working thanks!

Any more problems we need to solve or this is now solved?

Great! I'm glad this worked out for you!! Have a great day!
