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...

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...

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.
