FAQ's

1. How can I use default avatar in my mod?

Well to do this, you just need to place this code in your mod

if(function_exists('checkDefaultAvatar')) {
$context['user']['id']['avatar']['image'] = checkDefaultAvatar($context['buddies'][$uid]);
}

2. After putting the code my avatar images are gone?
While calling the function the data should be appended to the parameter which is carrying the avatar image. For e.g,
a) If you are using avatar image on '$context['user']['id']['avatar']' then use the above code as follow

if(function_exists('checkDefaultAvatar')) {
$context['user']['id']['avatar'] = checkDefaultAvatar($context['buddies'][$uid]);
}
b) If you are using avatar image on '$context['my_user']['id']['avatar']['img']' then use the above code as follow
if(function_exists('checkDefaultAvatar')) {
$context['my_user']['id']['avatar']['img'] = checkDefaultAvatar($context['buddies'][$uid]);
}
