Site Avatars

Is it possible to disable the "Site Avatars" block?

In the "Avatars Administration" I only see "JPEG quality of avatars" but no other option.

If it is not there yet, it would be very useful to have a checkbox in the avatar module administration to disable the Site Avatars block.

IMHO, cartoon avatars are counterproductive on a dating site, just like a fake photo.

My opinion is already known but I repeat one more time that this old time Avatar feature is the worst possible solution to a technical problem...

To have the possibility to get rid of this Site Avatars block is an absolute necessity !!!

(I just use the demozzz site and cannot invistigate if this block already can be deactivated from the Page Builders)

No, the Avatar Page Builder has two blocks, "choose avatars" at column 1 and "add new avatar" at column 2.

So, in order to hide the "Site Avatars" we would need the "choose avatars" block to be splitted in two: "My Avatars" block and "Site Avatars" block.

They are disgusting and will ruin your site- dating or business.   Once a few people select those comic book avatars, no one will ever load a real profile picture.  What was Boonex thinking?  Since we can't get rid of that block, where do we delete those images?

Agree.  I think avatars can be ok depending on your site but we should get to choose the ones we provide.  The ones that are pre-loaded are not great so there needs to be a way to delete them.

The avatars images are in (your url/modules/boonex/avatar/data/ready)

I agree, we need the "choose avatars" block to be splitted in two: "My Avatars" block and "Site Avatars" block, and managed from page builder.

or you can hide code to Site Avatars,

modules/boonex/avatar/templates/base/block_tight.html

<!--<div class="form_advanced_wrapper edit_form_wrapper bx_ava_margin_top">
<table id="edit_form_table" class="form_advanced_table" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<thead>
<tr class="headers">
<th class="block_header"><bx_text:_bx_ava_site_avatars /></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="padding:1px;">
<div id="bx_ava_site_avatars">
__site_avatars__
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>       
</table>
</div>-->

Cool - our superstar Okweb is starting up on the beta!

Great! Thanks

Agree.

Avatar is nat a good idea for a Community Site poeple never going to upload the real profile picture

people used more avatars for forums but nat for  a daiting site

Avatars are a step backwards.

I have tried this in 7.0.6 but seems the coding is different. Does anybody know of a upto date way to do this 

Thanks

Administration > Modules > Avatar

Uncheck "Enable site avatars."

Thanks Nathan, I was a bit quick to request help then! I went straight in looking for the hard code. Thanks
