Hello,
I have been messing around with the lite version of Avatars for xenforo to get a feel for it before purchasing.
I'm pretty much convinced that this product suits our needs but we have a few concerns before going through with it. We're ready to buy once we've cleared up these points.

1) Is it possible to replace avatars completely for people who decide to use these instead of the standard uploaded avatar images? At the moment, if I look on my avatar options (with the product installed on a test forum) I have no option to choose to use the DragonByte avatar, only to upload an image or use gravatar, this is contrary to what is shown on the screen capture provided on the product information page: https://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/screenshots/175/148.png

So what is happening at the moment is if I configure a DragonByte avatar via the inventory/shop system, it will display bellow my regular avatar area. What we need is to show one or the other depending on user choice, both is way too much. If I uncheck the "Enable Separate Postbit Display" option then it doesn't show the DragonByte one anywhere.

See this image for reference:

2) Is there a phrase or option somewhere to allow modification to the navigation tab text? We do not want the system to be called "DragonByte Avatars" on our forums, it's quite a long name and irrelevant to the website.

3) As you see in the image above in point #1 , the avatar displayed in the posts area is shrunk down. Is there a way to configure the size ourselves? We will be making custom graphics for this and we do not want them to be shrunk or enlarged to avoid problems with image quality, so we'd like it to look the same as in the inventory/shop preview.

4) Is it possible for us to include code in templates to display a user's avatar on other locations, such as on their profile pages or any other area we require that is within the xenforo framework?

5) Finally, is there documentation for this product? In the lite version download all we found was a basic readme file for installation info. Some of these questions might be covered in documentation but we can not find any.

Thank you.
 
1. That display will appear once you un-check the "Enable Separate Postbit Display" option :)

2. It is a phrase, yeah :)

3. Unfortunately not, it's using a xenForo built in class to create that object.

4. That's unfortunately not possible at this time.

5. I don't believe documentation for the xenForo version exists at this time, sorry :(
 
Hi,
For #1 I've un-checked the option but still do not see the options as shown in the DragonByte screen capture. Maybe it has been changed in the latest xenforo version (I just upgraded it yesterday, 1.1.3). The avatar options are now an overlay popup and not directly on the page as shown. I've also made sure my test user has the permissions set to yes for DragonByte avatars.
 
It doesn't matter anyway, if you go to your Inventory (with the option unchecked) and hit Set As Forum Avatar it will do the same as what the screenshot shows, essentially :)
