hi everyone!
just wanted to say awesome forum architecture software. I am really digging the infrastructure of simplepress and how it integrates with wordpress! I was wondering if there was a last poster avatar plugin or template modification to show a member's avatar next to the last post info on the forum view index?
Thanks in advance for any help. Keep up the outstanding work!
Thank you - glad you are liking it...
Can you perhaps put a bit more flesh on what you are asking for as I am not totally following the where and what you want...
Something like this when a member make a post and it shows up on the forum index.
you can already do this... your sp theme displays the elements... you just need to add a template tag to display the avatar...
something like:
sp_UserAvatar('tagClass=spPostUserAvatar spCenter&context=user&size=50', $spThisTopic->last_user_id);In the default theme, you would add it to this stuff
sp_ColumnStart('tagClass=spColumnSection spRight&width=14%&height=50px');
sp_TopicIndexPostCount('tagClass=spInRowCount', __sp('Posts'), __sp('Post'));
sp_TopicIndexViewCount('tagClass=spInRowCount', __sp('Views'), __sp('View'));
sp_TopicIndexStatusIcons('tagClass=spStatusIcon spCenter', __sp('This topic is locked'), __sp('This topic is pinned'), __sp('This topic has unread posts'), __sp('No permission to create posts'));
if (function_exists('sp_TopicIndexRating')) sp_TopicIndexRating('tagClass=spTopicRating spCenter');
sp_ColumnEnd();style as desired... change size if you want...
as always, we strongly urge you to create a child theme or make your own theme before editing to keep from losing changes on updates...
Okay i took some screenshots and did an image edit to place the user's avatar on where i am trying to style it into the template.

By using the code you gave me above this is what i got in picture below.
This is where the avatar shows on the forum in picture below....
So anyways I am still trying to place the user's avatar on the first example picture i did by using picture editing software. I will try placing the code again in other templates to see what happens. thanks for your help @mr-papa
For your first mock-up you will need to add the code to the spGroupView.php template. Get it in there roughly as you want and then we can hone it with a bit of ptoper styling when we see it. Does that make sense?
Look for the call to sp_ForumIndexLastPost() which is the column you will want it in.
Also - i would change that spCenter in the avatar call to spLeft.

Yes sir thank you! I will start now and then take another screenshot.
