[topdown]

Remove the edits you made and
OPEN phpBB_forum/includes/functions.php

FIND

Code: Select all

   // The following assigns all _common_ variables that may be used at any point in a template.

BEFORE ADD

Code: Select all

    if ($user->data['user_avatar'])
    {
        if (!function_exists('get_user_avatar'))
        {
            include $phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_display.' . $phpEx;
        }
            $template->assign_vars(array(
                'S_AVATAR'           => ($user->data['user_avatar'] != '') ? true : false,
                'MY_AVATAR'         => get_user_avatar($user->data['user_avatar'], $user->data['user_avatar_type'], $user->data['user_avatar_width'], $user->data['user_avatar_height']),
                'MY_NAME'            => get_username_string('full', $user->data['user_id'], $user->data['username'], $user->data['user_colour']),
            ));
    } 

Template variables
S_AVATAR = <!-- IF S_AVATAR -->{MY_AVATAR}<!-- ENDIF --> If avatar is true, show
MY_AVATAR = {MY_AVATAR} is the avatar itself
MY_NAME = {MY_NAME} Your user name, profile link and color

Brilliant, the only problem I'm now having is users with out a avatar can not see their username. :s

Edit: Nevermind, I just moved the "'MY_NAME' => get_username_string('full', $user->data['user_id'], $user->data['username'], $user->data['user_colour'])," in with the rest of the template variables and it works.

Perfect, thank you very much!

That is correct, you would need
{MY_NAME} outside of the <!-- IF S_AVATAR --> statement.
Good to see you got it fixed up.

Haha okay, here's one of the board index so far. Granted this is a low quality picture as I'm connecting on mobile internet atm.

And another of the blog index, which once I have everything sorted with that will become the site index.

There's still a quite a bit for me to do on the site, but its now mostly just graphical improvements.
