| I'd be interested to know if anyone has or is thinking about an Avatar MOD which allows the user to select an Avatar based on the amount of posts he/she has made. I have seen on for snitz, but it was a home made modification i belive.... |

How would you want the ranks to work, the same way the forum stars work?
So as well as getting a new title and star when you reach XXX posts you get the new avatars? |

Exactly - I have seen it before on a Snitz a year ago.
When the Title/Stars change, a new group of Avatars is made available for the user to choose from. This means that more posts you make, the larger the bank of images that are available to you. If the Tiltes/Stars are themed, it means that you can also theme the Avatar groups with the title too. e.g say a user makes 200 posts and is changed from 'Baker' to 'Butcher', the pictures for avatar choice for him/her would change from pictures of bread to images of meat. Sorry for the bizzar example!
So what do you think?? |

i do this as a addon feature of a small "practice" mod..
see here:http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=31724
(i didn't publish the code about this "avatar group addon", coz not many ones interested.. and it's a out-of-date mod! and i'm not sure is it still available on new avatar mod ? maybe when i upgrade to 3.4, i'll try to implement it again~  )
i think it's not difficult to add this feature to Avatar Mod. and here i'd like to share what i doing about this..(if too stupid method, pls forgive me... it just newbie's practice mod after all...  )
# in Avatar Mod, there is a data field A_MEMBER_ID in AVATAR table. it store the assigned member id, so when Admin add/edit avatar, he can "reserved" avatar to special member. and i just a small modify to add more select options to admin_add_avatar.asp and admin_edit_avatar.asp...
xx - reserved member id
0 - nomal/public avatars
-1 - for level 1(up) members
-2 - for level 2(up) members...
:::
::::
-8 - for moderator/admin
-9 - for admin only
then what it look like this..
# then we just need to edit the list file, to show the "appropriate" avatars list according different member's level.
(in my situation, i only edit my_avatar.asp to integrate this small mod. i think in original Avatar Mod, you'll need to edit this file..inc_avatar.asp)
because i give users the authority to assign his favorite avatar, it really annoying how to cope with if member "remove" avatar from his list... now i just set it return to "the sub-periority" avatar group level.
and i just use the star icon to indicate different avatar group. screenshot like this..
i think it's full flexibility about this great Avatar Mod. and after new 3.4 and new Avatar Mod, it should be more new features or mods on this stuff from "Great Snitz Mod Developer Team"..... and i'll just waiting for good news...  |
