avatar from profile field
 

hey all,

Im looking at doing a small mod for my site, and am not quite sure how to go about it.

What i want, is this link:

http://img.eve.is/serv.asp?s=64&c=1108662580

where 1108662580 is a profile field. What i wanted to know was, how would i go about firstly making the link accept the field and secondly, having it replace the user avatars.

Im assuming i would just create a field, add the info to my profile field, and then use <img src="http://img.eve.is/serv.asp?s=64&c=fieldx"> to display (correct me if im wrong). But how would i go about making it so that avatars cannot be chosen and only this automated one will display, as well as where to put the avatar code.

Thanks in advance.

Aside from the profile field tutorial, does anyone have any info or example scripts at all?

<img src="http://img.eve.is/serv.asp?s=64&c=$post[fieldx]" alt="$bbuserinfo[username]'s Avatar"> will work better.

You can disable avatars in the vBulletin admincp, then edit the postbit(_legacy) templates to match your needs, replacing the standard vBulletin avatar code, with the one above

thanks very much. It works a treat.

just one more question. When i enter it into the post bit, it works fine, but when i enter it into the usercp or navbar it does not pick up the field.

How come?
