Hi Todge! I'm still having trouble. I deleted the first version and installed it again from the plugin library but it doesn't work at all now. With the first version it went into the post itself. You fixed that but now, when I posted the url into the section provided...nothing changed. I'm doing something wrong obviously. Can you help please?

Correction. It worked in one post, but not in two others. This is the link :

cor-mariae.proboards.com/board/117/thoughts-pewsitter

It worked in the second thread. I did the same in the other two where the avatar can be changed, but nothing happened.

Sorry Todge...but all is well after all. I put in the wrong url to the two that did not work. My fault entirely. Thank you for this terrific plugin.

[Todge]

No worries.. Glad you got ot working.

I just downloaded and installed the plugin to my forum, but when I tested it out, the post avatar bar didn't show up. Do I have to specify what boards this plugin can work on?

Yes..

If you click on the plugin in your admin area your should have the option to include the boards you want the plugin to effect.

[R4ph89]

Okay, I wasn't sure how that would work. Can I just specify Categories, and not Boards only (to make it quicker)?

[R4ph89]

NVM, it has a check box system, got it working in less than a minute.

[Todge]

Glad you got it working.

I've been wanting a plug-in like this but never really realized it or even thought to ask for one.  Thanks so much!

I installed it and it's working.

[Todge]

Version 0.0.3 is now available.

This fixes an issue with quoted avatars.

Thanks for the update; I'll download it. I have a quick question about formatting the form box where you post the URL for the avatar you want. Right now the form box (where you type in your URL) is standing out as a white entry box on my board which has a dark color scheme. Is there a way to change the form color through something like CSS or something like that? Thanks!

You can indeed...

The input area of the avatar URL is 'post_av', so you can target it with..


#post_av { yadayadyadya }

CSS in you Global Header or in your theme(s) should work.

[havelock]

That worked perfectly. Thanks so much!

It appears that there is a bug regarding editing posts; it works fine if a post isn't edited.
However, if a post is edited, the post-specific avatar is replaced with the main avatar.
