Is there a way to insert some type of default avatar in the header locally? Let me explain. If a synchronet user chooses not to pick an avatar or if the message is from another BBS or network the avatar space is left blank. Is there away to put a "default avatar" if it's empty? Let's say the message originates from another network say fidonet. I would like to put a "doggie" avatar from all the messages from fidonet. Of course this would just be locally. Thanks.

That's not a current feature, but wouldn't be too hard to add. It
sounds like you'd want a per-sub-default avatar or per-group-default avatar?

there is a default avatar already... check modopts.ini [newuser] section... if you don't have one listed there with the other avatar settings, perhaps visit cvs and copy what you don't have into your's? ;)

Yes sir. Those are personal avatars. I was thinking of default avatars for Group Areas or Message Areas that don't permit avatars or are not synchronet boards.
As a SysOp I should have full control over what is seen on my own BBS. No?

That's exactly what I mean, and since there is going to be avatars included with future versions of Synchronet, would it be too difficult to add an option like that to SCFG? Like say when creating a message Group/Area, have the option to "include" a "default avatar" for that group/area? The Sysop could chose one of the included Avatars and edit it or upload one? BBS users would see the "default avatar" or the users personal avatar.I Hope I'm making sense? I have no idea how much work would be involved and wouldn't want to take advantage of an already great BBS package. ;-)

I don't know if you noticed, but I added support to showmsgavatar.js (and avatars.js) for default message avatars (and default per sub or per group if you want).
How far do you want to go with that? With the avatar chooser module/script, users can create their own avatar with it too (at least, that feature existed at one point). So you don't necessarily have full control over that. What if a user creates an avatar for themself that you don't like?

Yes I did notice. I can't believe how fast it happened. Not sure what the steps are to make use of the update on my board without messing anything up. ;-)
Create or find the avatar you want to use as a default. Note the avatar collection file (.bin file). Run the 'jsexec msg-default' command-line specified on that wiki page.

Is this command" jsexec avatars msg-default=/sbbs/text/avatars/silhouettes.bin -offset=0" supposed to write something to modopts.ini??
What is it supposed to do?
Where do I find thes lines to change?
"msg_default key to <sub-code>_default o <group-name>_default"??
Sorry. I don't know all the "inner workings" of Synchronet. I'm very new to it.
