I'll help you do it with plug-ins:

Hook: bbcode_create
Title: [user] BBCode
PHP Code:

PHP Code:

if ($this->is_wysiwyg()) $this->unparsed_tags[] = 'user';

if (!function_exists('nex_fetch_musername'))
{
    function nex_fetch_musername(&$parser, $userid, $title='')
    {
        global $vbulletin, $db;
        # check if we have a username or userid
        $wesearch = is_numeric($userid) ? 'userid' : 'username';
        if($user = $db->query_first_slave("
            SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user
            WHERE " . $wesearch . " = '" . $userid . "'
        "))
        {
            $musername = fetch_musername($user);
            return '<a href="' . $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/member.php?u=' . $user['userid'] . '">' . $musername . '</a>';
        }
        return $userid;
    }
    function nex_fetch_musername_option(&$parser, $title='', $userid)
    {
        global $vbulletin, $db;
        # check if we have a username or userid
        $wesearch = is_numeric($userid) ? 'userid' : 'username';
        if($user = $db->query_first_slave("
            SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user
            WHERE " . $wesearch . " = '" . $userid . "'
        "))
        {
            if($title != '') $user['username'] = $title;
            $musername = fetch_musername($user);
            return '<a href="' . $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/member.php?u=' . $user['userid'] . '">' . $musername . '</a>';
        }
        return $userid;
    }
}

// [USER]
$this->tag_list['no_option']['user'] = array(
    'callback' => 'handle_external',
    'strip_empty' => true,
    'stop_parse' => false,
    'disable_smilies' => false,
    'disable_wordwrap' => true,
    'strip_space_after' => 0,
    'external_callback' => 'nex_fetch_musername'
);
// [USER=XXX]
$this->tag_list['option']['user'] = array(
    'callback' => 'handle_external',
    'strip_empty' => true,
    'stop_parse' => false,
    'disable_smilies' => false,
    'disable_wordwrap' => true,
    'strip_space_after' => 0,
    'external_callback' => 'nex_fetch_musername_option'
); 


Note: This isn't my code - it works on vBulletin 3.8.3 however.

An XML is also attached if you don't want to do it manually.

Yea that solves part of the problem, but that leaves the [usericon] bbcode.

[James Birkett]

Try this:
Create new BBCode
Title: Usericon
BBCode Tag Name: usericon
Replacement:
<img src="image.php?u={param}" />
Example:
[usericon]1[/usericon]
Description:
Put user ID in between usericon BBCodes to get their avatar.

How to use:
[usericon]{User ID}[/usericon]

[wipedout]

does not work due to the fact that im using avatars in filesystem.

[James Birkett]

Is there a recurring URL to get to the avatar?

[wipedout]

yea there is, im just not sure how vbulletin grabs the url...

[James Birkett]

Post a URL to a member's avatar.

Hmm, I'm not sure on how filesystem avatars are stored. Does the URL have any relevance to the user's profile/user ID?
