Change code to get avatar from file system instead of the database?

[beansbaxter]

I have a script that is grabbing the user's avatar from the database. This is the code that it's using:

$avatarURL = $vbulletin->options[bburl]."/image.php?u=".$vbulletin->userinfo[userid];

I have moved avatars from the database into the file system. What code would I use to replace this so it calls from the file system instead of the database?

I'm running vBulletin 3.8 if it matters. Thanks in advance.

I'd be interested in this too... I looked for this several weeks ago and came to the conclusion it wasn't possible. :(

vBulletin has a built in function fetch_avatar_url() , that is probably what you are looking for.
