Hi
I got this idea while browsing for pixel art icons - u know the little animated animals and people ?

The Idea
When a member reaches a certain post count they can adopt a 'virtual pet'
The virtual pets are available from a small gallery (list - like the avatars)
Lets say the member reaches 50 posts (the set limit)
They can now go to their profile page on which they will be given the additional option of "virtual pet gallery" from which they can choose a pet
This pet will be displayed in their Post profile (under the avatar and stuff) and they can give it a name.

------------------------
Thats the idea basically - I know its silly but I think it would be a cute addition for people who love these little functionalities.
I know how to add additional feilds and graphics to the profile template and display template - however it is beyond me how:
- I can go about creating the condition of "if the person has 50+ posts"
- Also the option of creating an avatar like gallery to appear in the profile template
If anyone can help me with the above 2 points I would be really greatful :)
you could ask for a mod request on the simple machines forum (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=79.0) or help in smf coding discussion (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=60.0)
oki doki thanks
That is a really cool idea.
The shop mod that is currently availiable will get to close to what you want, but not completely.
There isn't many mod developers here at TP yet. It is better to ask over ast SMF.
BTW< the shop mod is located over at SMF.
no way!!! there is a shop mod? OMG how could I miss that!! EEKK
Im gona go look at once!! Thanks so much :D
Quoteno way!!! there is a shop mod? OMG how could I miss that!! EEKK
Yep, I'm the author of SMFShop, the shop MOD for SMF :)
The MOD is available on my website at http://www.dansoftaustralia.net/ ... If you require support, I have the following:
Bug tracker: http://bugs.dansoftaustralia.net/
Support tracker: http://support.dansoftaustralia.net/
Forums, for user-to-user stuff http://www.daniel15.be/
Have fun!
By the way, this sounds similar to an item I made for SMFShop: A "Profile Image" item. This will allow the user to choose an image from a list of images, and the image will be displayed next to their posts.
thanks :D
I downloaded the mod and am gona try an install as soon as my "revamping" of the homepage finishes lol :d
Im givin my page a new look :D
I wonder who could be smart enough to make a virtual pets mod?
