avatar and subject icons by gender

[halil16]

Hello,
There are many avatar images in the files of the style I use. But there is no current information on how it can be used.



I want to set the default avatar of members as male, female and not specified. Is there any updated plugin or code? How?

Finally, is it possible to make topic icons as below? With the avatar of the sender of the last message.

Why not ask where you got the style? Shouldn't they be able to provide the answer?

[halil16]

the style developer is no longer answering questions. For a long time. Offline. I also thought it was a style independent thing and could be useful to other users as well. For That Reason I opened the title here.

If the style isn’t being supported by the author then you would be better off looking for another one. In the meantime I’ll move this to a forum where you’re more likely to get a result.

[halil16]

Thank you. The style writer produces great results. I hope it comes back with phpBB 4 tremendously. I think this is not about a style what I want to do.

[Lumpy Burgertushie]

it most likely is a style issue. not every style has the required html to put a default "no avatar" image in place.
not even sure if prosilver does.

can it be done?

[Mannix_]

You could do it with custom profile fields but I'm to dumb to figure out how to use them so can't help you

[Mick]

What’s the name or location of the style you mention?

can it be done?

Probably with an extension, try making an extension request.

Any style of Arty is Latte, Elegance, Digi and Basic. I use all four of them.

There is Default Avatar plugin but it is no longer supported and not working. Only the Genders plugin that this plugin points to is up to date.

And can the thing in the second picture in the first message be done?

Good News I figure it out how to achieve it with CPF
First we need to set up a CPF in ACP like so

Important name of the CPF must be as shown!!!
Now to editing the files
In viewtopic_body.html find

Code: Select all

<div class="avatar-container">

and change to

Code: Select all

<div class="avatar-container <!-- IF postrow.S_PROFILE_GENDER -->{postrow.PROFILE_GENDER_VALUE}<!-- ENDIF -->">

In memberlist_view.html find

Code: Select all

<!-- IF AVATAR_IMG -->
		<dl class="left-box">
			<dt class="profile-avatar">{AVATAR_IMG}</dt>
			<!-- EVENT memberlist_view_rank_avatar_before -->
			<!-- IF RANK_TITLE --><dd style="text-align: center;">{RANK_TITLE}</dd><!-- ENDIF -->
			<!-- IF RANK_IMG --><dd style="text-align: center;">{RANK_IMG}</dd><!-- ENDIF -->
			<!-- EVENT memberlist_view_rank_avatar_after -->
		</dl>	
	<!-- ENDIF -->

and change to

Code: Select all

<!-- IF AVATAR_IMG -->
		<dl class="left-box">
			<dt class="profile-avatar">{AVATAR_IMG}</dt>
			<!-- EVENT memberlist_view_rank_avatar_before -->
			<!-- IF RANK_TITLE --><dd style="text-align: center;">{RANK_TITLE}</dd><!-- ENDIF -->
			<!-- IF RANK_IMG --><dd style="text-align: center;">{RANK_IMG}</dd><!-- ENDIF -->
			<!-- EVENT memberlist_view_rank_avatar_after -->
		</dl>
	<!-- ELSE -->
		<dl class="left-box">
			<dt class="no-avatar no-avatar-memberview">
			<div class="avatar-container <!-- IF S_PROFILE_GENDER -->{PROFILE_GENDER_VALUE}<!-- ENDIF -->"> 
			</div>
			</dt>
			<!-- EVENT memberlist_view_rank_no_avatar_before -->
			<!-- IF RANK_TITLE --><dd style="text-align: center;">{RANK_TITLE}</dd><!-- ENDIF -->
			<!-- IF RANK_IMG --><dd style="text-align: center;">{RANK_IMG}</dd><!-- ENDIF -->
			<!-- EVENT memberlist_view_rank_no_avatar_after -->
		</dl>	
	<!-- ENDIF -->

then find and delete

Code: Select all

		<!-- IF not AVATAR_IMG -->
			<!-- EVENT memberlist_view_rank_no_avatar_before -->
			<!-- IF RANK_TITLE --><dt>{L_RANK}{L_COLON}</dt> <dd>{RANK_TITLE}</dd><!-- ENDIF -->
			<!-- IF RANK_IMG --><dt><!-- IF RANK_TITLE -->&nbsp;<!-- ELSE -->{L_RANK}{L_COLON}<!-- ENDIF --></dt> <dd>{RANK_IMG}</dd><!-- ENDIF -->
			<!-- EVENT memberlist_view_rank_no_avatar_after -->
		<!-- ENDIF -->

3rd file to edit is ucp_pm_viewmessage.html
find

Code: Select all

<div class="avatar-container">

and change to

Code: Select all

<div class="avatar-container <!-- IF S_PROFILE_GENDER -->{PROFILE_GENDER_VALUE}<!-- ENDIF -->">

Now for css open _colours.scss and at the bottom add

Code: Select all

.no-avatar .avatar-container {
    width: 96px;
    height: 96px;
}

.no-avatar .Male {
    background-image: url("./images/no_avatar_male.png");
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

.no-avatar .Female {
    background-image: url("./images/no_avatar_female.png");
    background-repeat: no-repeat;	

}
.no-avatar .None {
    background-image: url("./images/no_avatar.png");
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
@media (max-width: 700px) {
	.postprofile .no-avatar .avatar-container {
		width: 32px;
		height: 32px;
		float: left;
		margin-right: 5px;
	}
	
.no-avatar .None, .no-avatar .Female, .no-avatar .Male {
    background-size: 32px;
}
.no-avatar-memberview .Female, .no-avatar-memberview .Male, .no-avatar-memberview .None {
    background-size: 96px;
}
}

This is gonna get tricky since Arty's styles use scss you need to recompile that scss file.

Here is his tutorial how to do it https://www.artodia.com/phpbb-31-tutori ... ile-theme/

I recommend using the extensions it works on 3.3

END RESULT

Since Memberlist_view.html file is not in style files, I copied and edited from Prosilver theme.
I did the custom profile fields as you say, but I ran into a problem. When I translated the Private Profile Field in the custom language settings, it didn't work.
But okay. Although it remains in English, members will understand. Thank you so much. If I had Paypal in my country, I would donate some.
What do i need to do the second picture in the first message? do you think it should be done Is it necessary? I thought it might be nice.
Many thanks again and again.

It can be fixed by adding classes to css
so if we have

Code: Select all

.no-avatar .Male {
    background-image: url("./images/no_avatar_male.png");
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

we need to change it to

Code: Select all

.no-avatar .Male, .no-avatar .Your_Translation_For_Male {
    background-image: url("./images/no_avatar_male.png");
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

you need to repeat that everywhere where the Male/Female/None occurs in css

Can you send a link to where we can see that in action this cropped image is not enough

translations did not happen.
I've seen it on some phpBB forums, but I'm not sure. Here: https://www.artodia.com/forums/phpbb-support/ and https://forum.shiftdelete.net/

translations did not happen.

What do you mean it did not happen? In CPF setting you are able to make translations for all available languages and it worked on my test board.

I've seen it on some phpBB forums, but I'm not sure. Here: https://www.artodia.com/forums/phpbb-support/ and https://forum.shiftdelete.net/

Those are not phpBB forum one looks custom and arty's is on xenforo.

Anyway this require an extension. There are extension to display avatars in the last post section f.e https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/exte ... tar_status but you would have to ask there if it's possible to make them appear where the forum icons are.

On top of that you would probably want the no-avatar by gender to work too so you would need to add that function in the extension because my solution only work in place where CPF are available to use.

So you can ask the author if he can help you with it or you can just ask for the extension to made from scratch in Extension Request forum or Wanted forum.
