First release of Hide Avatars from Guests

Files modified by Hide Avatars from Guests
./Sources/Load.php

Well done, a theme edit and breaks the Look and Layout option to hide avatars.

Better solution would be to modify loadMemberContext, where the avatar is figured out and if either $user_info['id'] or $context['user']['id'] is empty (when in scope), empty the avatar array key. You can't just unset it, though, you do actually have to empty it.

Since I'm nice, here's the RC2 edit.

'avatar' => array(
'name' => $profile['avatar'],
'image' => $profile['avatar'] == '' ? ($profile['id_attach'] > 0 ? '<img src="' . (empty($profile['attachment_type']) ? $scripturl . '?action=dlattach;attach=' . $profile['id_attach'] . ';type=avatar' : $modSettings['custom_avatar_url'] . '/' . $profile['filename']) . '" alt="" class="avatar" border="0" />' : '') : (stristr($profile['avatar'], 'http://') ? '<img src="' . $profile['avatar'] . '"' . $avatar_width . $avatar_height . ' alt="" class="avatar" border="0" />' : '<img src="' . $modSettings['avatar_url'] . '/' . htmlspecialchars($profile['avatar']) . '" alt="" class="avatar" border="0" />'),
'href' => $profile['avatar'] == '' ? ($profile['id_attach'] > 0 ? (empty($profile['attachment_type']) ? $scripturl . '?action=dlattach;attach=' . $profile['id_attach'] . ';type=avatar' : $modSettings['custom_avatar_url'] . '/' . $profile['filename']) : '') : (stristr($profile['avatar'], 'http://') ? $profile['avatar'] : $modSettings['avatar_url'] . '/' . $profile['avatar']),
'url' => $profile['avatar'] == '' ? '' : (stristr($profile['avatar'], 'http://') ? $profile['avatar'] : $modSettings['avatar_url'] . '/' . $profile['avatar'])
),

'avatar' => empty($context['user']['id']) ?
array(
'name' => '',
'image' => '',
'href' => '',
'url' => '',
)
:
array(
'name' => $profile['avatar'],
'image' => $profile['avatar'] == '' ? ($profile['id_attach'] > 0 ? '<img src="' . (empty($profile['attachment_type']) ? $scripturl . '?action=dlattach;attach=' . $profile['id_attach'] . ';type=avatar' : $modSettings['custom_avatar_url'] . '/' . $profile['filename']) . '" alt="" class="avatar" border="0" />' : '') : (stristr($profile['avatar'], 'http://') ? '<img src="' . $profile['avatar'] . '"' . $avatar_width . $avatar_height . ' alt="" class="avatar" border="0" />' : '<img src="' . $modSettings['avatar_url'] . '/' . htmlspecialchars($profile['avatar']) . '" alt="" class="avatar" border="0" />'),
'href' => $profile['avatar'] == '' ? ($profile['id_attach'] > 0 ? (empty($profile['attachment_type']) ? $scripturl . '?action=dlattach;attach=' . $profile['id_attach'] . ';type=avatar' : $modSettings['custom_avatar_url'] . '/' . $profile['filename']) : '') : (stristr($profile['avatar'], 'http://') ? $profile['avatar'] : $modSettings['avatar_url'] . '/' . $profile['avatar']),
'url' => $profile['avatar'] == '' ? '' : (stristr($profile['avatar'], 'http://') ? $profile['avatar'] : $modSettings['avatar_url'] . '/' . $profile['avatar'])
),

Slightly ugly edit but does the job in a single line.

EDIT: Corrected typo.

Well, I appreciate that. I would prefer a Source edit.

nice one ;)

maybe a nice line of text that says  guest cannot see the avatars?   could be an option also to display a link to either register or login, not in all messages, could be only in the first one ;)

Thanks for the idea,

I'll definitely consider adding that.

Nice mod :)

Just adding to Arantors post for those interested, that change is made in the load.php template.

When I update this to RC3, it will go by Sources, rather than template.

Very good mate.
Keep up the good work :)

Thank you Sabre™ :)

ok, now this mod is updated, will work with 1.1.x and 2.0 RC4  source only edits,  will work with every theme, no settings just install and use,  thanks to Arantor for the code.

But what about theme settings for guests?

that is just for display.template.php


this mod works with  loadMemberContext   that means whatever mod or page that uses loadMemberContext  will be affected by his mod, SimplePortal for example uses it, so this mod will work for SimplePortal blocks.

this mod will affect  every page or mod or custom script that uses loadMemberContext and not only display.template

This mod has been updated to SMF 2.0 and 1.1.x

Updated for SMF 2.0.x, dropped support for 1.1.x.

How can i hide signatures too?

I believe there is a separate mod for that.

Can you use this Mod also for registered users that don't want to see avatars at all?

The option to not show avatars in SMF turns them into silhouettes, I would like to be able to hide them completely.

They can turn it off for themselves in their profile settings.

@ Shambles: don't really know what you mean by that.

In our current forum (with custom theme) theme it's indeed possible to choose not to show avatars in the Profile Settings.
But like I wrote, that doesn't hide the avatars completely, it just removes chosen images and still shows a silhouette.

This Mod seems to take care of that, but only for guests.
I was wondering if it's possible to use this mod for registered users as well, maybe though a special permission?

/Sources/Load.php find:


'avatar' => empty($context['user']['id']) ?
array(
'name' => '',
'image' => '',
'href' => '',
'url' => '',
)
:
array(
'name' => $profile['avatar'],
'image' => $profile['avatar'] == '' ? ($profile['id_attach'] > 0 ? '<img src="' . (empty($profile['attachment_type']) ? $scripturl . '?action=dlattach;attach=' . $profile['id_attach'] . ';type=avatar' : $modSettings['custom_avatar_url'] . '/' . $profile['filename']) . '" alt="" class="avatar" border="0" />' : '') : (stristr($profile['avatar'], 'http://') ? '<img src="' . $profile['avatar'] . '"' . $avatar_width . $avatar_height . ' alt="" class="avatar" border="0" />' : '<img src="' . $modSettings['avatar_url'] . '/' . htmlspecialchars($profile['avatar']) . '" alt="" class="avatar" border="0" />'),
'href' => $profile['avatar'] == '' ? ($profile['id_attach'] > 0 ? (empty($profile['attachment_type']) ? $scripturl . '?action=dlattach;attach=' . $profile['id_attach'] . ';type=avatar' : $modSettings['custom_avatar_url'] . '/' . $profile['filename']) : '') : (stristr($profile['avatar'], 'http://') ? $profile['avatar'] : $modSettings['avatar_url'] . '/' . $profile['avatar']),
'url' => $profile['avatar'] == '' ? '' : (stristr($profile['avatar'], 'http://') ? $profile['avatar'] : $modSettings['avatar_url'] . '/' . $profile['avatar'])
),


replace with:


'avatar' => $themeID == 0 ?
array(
'name' => '',
'image' => '',
'href' => '',
'url' => '',
)
:
array(
'name' => $profile['avatar'],
'image' => $profile['avatar'] == '' ? ($profile['id_attach'] > 0 ? '<img src="' . (empty($profile['attachment_type']) ? $scripturl . '?action=dlattach;attach=' . $profile['id_attach'] . ';type=avatar' : $modSettings['custom_avatar_url'] . '/' . $profile['filename']) . '" alt="" class="avatar" border="0" />' : '') : (stristr($profile['avatar'], 'http://') ? '<img src="' . $profile['avatar'] . '"' . $avatar_width . $avatar_height . ' alt="" class="avatar" border="0" />' : '<img src="' . $modSettings['avatar_url'] . '/' . htmlspecialchars($profile['avatar']) . '" alt="" class="avatar" border="0" />'),
'href' => $profile['avatar'] == '' ? ($profile['id_attach'] > 0 ? (empty($profile['attachment_type']) ? $scripturl . '?action=dlattach;attach=' . $profile['id_attach'] . ';type=avatar' : $modSettings['custom_avatar_url'] . '/' . $profile['filename']) : '') : (stristr($profile['avatar'], 'http://') ? $profile['avatar'] : $modSettings['avatar_url'] . '/' . $profile['avatar']),
'url' => $profile['avatar'] == '' ? '' : (stristr($profile['avatar'], 'http://') ? $profile['avatar'] : $modSettings['avatar_url'] . '/' . $profile['avatar'])
),




Where $themeID is the var that holds the current theme you are using, can't remember which var is exactly,must be in $theme or $context['current_theme'] or something like that, a var_dump() on $context should give you an idea.

Or replace it with:


'avatar' =>
array(
'name' => '',
'image' => '',
'href' => '',
'url' => '',
),


If you want to get rid of avatars altogether.

Hello, this is a handy mod. However it does not seem to affect all areas where avatars are used but only id display.template.php

How can avatars be hidden globally for guest?

Sorry. But I believe that you did something wrong.  The easy this mod works, it will remove a user's avatar everywhere

In ALL areas of the message board?

Yes. If you look at what the mod does -- it replaces code in Load.php (which is global to the site) for the $memberContext[$user] array -- I believe that is what is called everywhere the user details are displayed -- and it completely zeros out the avatar data if the viewing user does not have a userID

okay. thx
