Show Avatars on custom vB page? Do I need to query the db?

I built a custom vB page that has a query to get user data from the db. If I wanted to include avatars on that page, would I have to modify the query to include avatar data? This is for 3.8.

Here's the existing query:

Code:

$users=$db->query("SELECT *

                          FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user, " . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield AS userfield

                          WHERE user.userid = userfield.userid  

                          ORDER BY $orderby $direction

                          LIMIT $pos,$perpage");

I'm assuming once the query is ready, I'll just need to modify the template with an IF Conditional like:

Code:

<if condition="$show['avatar']"><img src="$post[avatarurl]" $post[avwidth] $post[avheight] alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" /><br></if>

Take a look at what is done in the function: fetch_avatar_url().

Which file would I find that in? function_user.php?

Yep. A good idea is to also keep a mass search tool handy - this allows you to find things quickly. (Many editors have this feature.)

I guess I could have done a mass search in Homesite or Dreamweaver.... sorry.

Just a follow up to this question...

I added a require statement to the custom vb file I have, pulling in function_user.php. Shouldn't I now be able to use the same variables in my templates that function_user.php uses so that I can pull in the avatar that way?

functions_user.php does not run any code when you include it. It is merely a library of functions that allow you to fetch and manipulate data about the user. Alternatively, you could simply have a look at what fetch_avatar_url() does, and "merge" the query with your own; removing the use of functions_user.php altogether.
