Remotely Hosted Avatars

It works on my 2.2.6 board, I'm not sure about 2.2.7, most likely will work

This hack prevents remote avatars from being loaded into the database, it saved both bandwidth and space. Instead it'll load the avatar directly from the link the user gives

The other remote avatar hacks I've tried didn't work, so I decided to do it myself

Have Fun, if there's any problems, ask.

I have installed the hack and it works fine ut there is no way to edit/remove an avatar from a user in the admin CP. Any ideas?

I'm having this same problem.

tried in 2.2.9 and edited member.php instead of members.php .. getting this error:

Parse error: parse error in /home/ironlife/public_html/member.php on line 1081

Ok, this seems to cure the problem in 2.2.8 where it says every single remotely hosted avatar is not a valid jpg or gif but the avatars don't show up in the postbit (threads) for some reason.

(At least they don't for me)

Anyone have the fix for this?

[nabeel]

did you apply the templates correctly?

it should be

$post[avatar]$post[avatar2]

iirc

if that doesn't work, try this
$post[avatar]<img src="$post[avatar2]">

[Warlord]

the first one doesn't work for me (btw, I don't think the template changes are in the read me file).

and won't the second one leave a broken url image for everyone who isn't using a remotely hosted avatar?

[Warlord]

This.. "$post[avatar]$post[avatar2]" makes the url of the image show up where the avatar is supposed to be...

[nabeel]

try
<img src="$post[avatar2]">

or

<img src="$post[avatar]">

there weren't template changes because it changes to $post[avatar] in the code
