I made a new file, sources_custom/ocf_members_action.php:
This gives new members the avatar. This function is trivially simple. It just wraps around the original function, relaying all parameters, and does one extra small thing - if the avatar for a new member is unspecified, it specifies it.
To update for existing members I ran a simple SQL query:
News: Another example of overriding
Added 18 July 2006, 11:44 AM
The other day I showed how some cool stuff could be achieved with a little bit of an ocPortal code override. Today I needed again to make a minor ocPortal.com change and there wasn't a feature for it: I wanted members to have a default avatar. We don't really have plans to make this a feature, because if we did we'd be opening up the floodgates to thousands of similar things, and ocPortal would get too complex to use. This is how I implemented it on ocPortal.com…I made a new file, sources_custom/ocf_members_action.php:
PHP code
function ocf_make_member($username,$password,$email_address,$groups,$dob_day,$dob_month,$dob_year,$custom_fields,$timezone_offset=0,$primary_group=NULL,$validated=1,$join_time=NULL,$last_visit_time=NULL,$theme='',$avatar_url='',$signature='',$is_perm_banned=0,$preview_posts=1,$reveal_age=1,$title='',$photo_url='',$photo_thumb_url='',$views_signatures=1,$track_all_forums=0,$track_contributed_topics=1,$language=NULL,$allow_emails=1,$personal_notes='',$ip_address=NULL,$validated_email_confirm_code='',$check_correctness=true,$password_compatibility_scheme='',$salt='',$zone_wide=1,$last_submit_time=NULL,$id=NULL)
{
if ($avatar_url=='') $avatar_url='themes/default/images/ocf_default_avatars/default_set/cool_flare.png';
return non_overrided__ocf_make_member($username,$password,$email_address,$groups,$dob_day,$dob_month,$dob_year,$custom_fields,$timezone_offset,$primary_group,$validated,$join_time,$last_visit_time,$theme,$avatar_url,$signature,$is_perm_banned,$preview_posts,$reveal_age,$title,$photo_url,$photo_thumb_url,$views_signatures,$track_all_forums,$track_contributed_topics,$language,$allow_emails,$personal_notes,$ip_address,$validated_email_confirm_code,$check_correctness,$password_compatibility_scheme,$salt,$zone_wide,$last_submit_time,$id);
}
To update for existing members I ran a simple SQL query:
Code
UPDATE `ocp2_f_members` SET m_avatar_url = 'themes/default/images/ocf_default_avatars/default_set/cool_flare.png' WHERE m_avatar_url = ''
