Hello.

I am using vBulletin 3.81 on a site with Joomla. I currently have Community Builder installed, along with quite a few other components, and would like to use the Community Builder avatar in place of the vBulletin avatar on the forums.

I am not an experienced coder, but I have some experience with PHP and MYSQL. I assume it would be a matter of getting vB to redirect its calls to the database to pull the avatar from Community Builder. I just don't know where to look.

Is it going to be more complicated than that? Will it require many lines of custom code or would I be able to replace a few lines and be done with it?

Could anyone point me in the right direction? I'm not asking for a full-blown tutorial.

Thanks :)

See the fetch_avatar_* functions inside functions_user.php.
