How to choose an Avatar at the Registrationprocess?

[Yoda|cs.ch]

Hi

I would like to make that new users already can select an Avatar at the Registrationprocess. Does anyone know how this can be done? What do I need to add to the registration template?

thx 4 help

Just look in the modifyoptions template for the avatar option. Now you can copy that to the registration template. But I'm not really sure whether it is that easy. May you also need to copy a hidden form element and hack register.php

Hi Orca thanks for your answer. I tried this thing already, I copied it from the modifyavatar template. But if I try to register then it doesnt shows up any avatars.

<tr>
	<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}" align="center" colspan="2"><normalfont><b>Choose your avatar from the available list:</b></normalfont></td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}" colspan="2" align="center">
	<table bgcolor="{tablebordercolor}" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="10">
	$avatarlist
	</table>
	<normalfont>Displaying Avatars $limitlower to $limitupper of $totalavatars<br>$pagenav</normalfont>
	</td>
</tr>

I also copied this value:

<input type="hidden" name="action" value="updateavatar">

I think you're missing sth. There should be a submit button (<input type=submit...>) For changing the avatar. So I guess you didn't catch all. Anyway, as mentioned, you probably also need to hack register.php.

I think it might be more complicated than you think. Notice how when you edit your profile, if you click the change avatar button, it saves your profile first? Yeah, it first says thank you for updating your profile. Well, I'm thinking that if saving the profile first is important to selecting an avatar, it may be difficult for someone who is registering; after all, they don't yet have a profile to save! I hope that makes sense.

Yoda|cs.ch, please enter your license information in your profile. See the link in my sig for more info. Thanks!

Mainly the reason it works that way is it was felt it would be too big of a page to include all the stuff that is now on the change avatar screen on the change options screen. It really has nothing to do with saving the options.
I believe Freddie has put in an avatar selection during registration for the next version.

Yes in the next version (2.0.4) you can select any avatar, set as requiring 0 posts, at registration using a drop down menu.
