I am not sure I understood your question, but you can't handle guests by user ID. Guests do not have IDs, since these accounts are not registered in database. Their ID is always 0.

What I want to do here is Guest posted messange displayed the same avatar as for registered user who haven't choose avatar from the list.
for example:
user 1 is Guest
-> when he post comment, default_avatar.gif will choosen automaticly.
user 2 is registered user but haven't choose/upload avatar
--> when he post comment, default_avatar.gif will choosen automaticly.
user 3 is registered user who choose avatar baby.gif from the list
--> when he post comment, it will show avatar baby.gif

option for user 3 is done by standart avatar script
option for user 2 is done by adding image path to "else $im="
option for user 1: this is i want to do.

Got it.
You have to modify parseMessage() function for that, not userInfo_user_custom1(). Before return statement of that function, paste:

If the function is not present amongst other add-ons, it may look that way altogether:

it works, thanks Paul it really helpful

How to make an avatar by default for guests of the forum?

This option is available only for registered users. I don't know even in theory, how it could be allowed for guests. Guests have no recognition by ID, but something external could be added to user's account only by ID.

Any help?
ive got this line in my signature addons:
$userInfoInPosts=array($dbUserSheme['user_custom2'][1]);

im tryin to add avatars but it gives me error below
Cannot redeclare parseuserinfo_user_custom1() (previously declared in /home/quick/public_html/bb_plugins.php:98) in /home/quick/public_html/bb_plugins.php on line 98

any advise?

thanks

You obviously have something messed up. parseuserinfo_user_custom1() function is for 'user_custom1' field. For 'user_custom2' there should be parseuserinfo_user_custom2().

Note which field will handle avatars or signatures more carefully, for signatures we have 'user_custom2', for avatars 'user_custom1'.

Or use Compiler if you doubt how to install it manually.

ive got this line in my signature addons:
$userInfoInPosts=array($dbUserSheme['user_custom2'][1]);

on the read me text..

Edit setup_options.php (located in /forums)

Locate $userInfoInPosts and set the avatar field.

Example: if your avatar field is 'user_custom1', you set $userInfoInPosts to

$userInfoInPosts=array('user_custom1');

Note: if there are other fields defined in $userInfoInPosts, do not delete them!

"""$userInfoInPosts=array($dbUserSheme['user_custom2'][1]);is already this,,,, where do i put $userInfoInPosts=array('user_custom1');?

Put it that way:

or just

i.e. separate each new added fields by a comma. This gives the script a command to read all of those fields while loading the posts page.

thanks, i made it thru the compiler,

btw, how to remove message box below in my forum main page?

and also why is it that avatars are not show when i choose it from avatar list, it displays the filename only and in IE it show "x" square.

any advise?

thanks

Make sure you have properly specified $main_url setting. Without seeing your forums, I can't say anything more exact.

You did it through Compiler - but then why have you chosen the options you don't need?? You have chosen something you don't understand what is is about, now you ask how to remove what I have no idea about! Hilarious :-)

Is it possible for visitors who have not yet uploaded a avatar, to show a default avatar ?

For example, a picture that says "no avatar"

Instead of an empty field?
