It breaks my heart when i see the broken/missing image icon on one of my pages and it seems that the new Member of the Month widget doesn't currently sets the <img src=""> when no avatar has been set in the member's character settings. I am sure this will be resolved in a future update and it will degrade gracefully...

however I am not a patient sort and like to tinker so here is a little fix you can add to your custom html footer

<script>
 $(document).ready(

function(){

var noavatar = 'http://www.axiomfiles.com/Files/317534/noavatar.png';

var altstring = 'No Avatar in Profile - Please check your character settings!';

if ($(".gpWidget-monthlymember img.mAll").attr("src").length == 0) {

$(".gpWidget-monthlymember img.mAll").attr("src", noavatar);

$(".gpWidget-monthlymember img.mAll").attr("alt", altstring);

$(".gpWidget-monthlymember img.mAll").attr("title", altstring);

}

});
 </script>

The red text above can be altered to use your own default missing avatar image, and alt/title text that pops up when you hover over the image or you can go ahead and use the one i have uploaded

Edit: Realised selecting by ID was problematical if you have the widget on multiple pages - the image gets a different id. ho hum. anyway now the selection is done using the widget and the img.mAll class

Cheers, Shulkie

I wasn't able to get this to work unfortunately. Which is a shame cause I have a lot of members in my kin that don't have avatars and I have some really funny ones to use.

I have another question though and don't know if I should start a new thread. Is it possible to write something that will remove certain groups from voting. Groups like Super-Admin and officer? Just a thought since you are so awesome!!!

Thanks

ACK! Mottie Posts: 3873 0 Like 0 Dislike	Hi Nyjeawyn! Hmm, I don't know if I can mess around with voting stuff like that... maybe, but it might be better to put in a support ticket with GP. And as for the avatars, I updated the code above so it should work and I added a new post/script here for other widgets. >>help-site<< Characters: Mottie Motty Mortie Ooshiny Mot Fudgems
