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

I've tried that, and it works for people who do have a remotely hosted avatar, but if they don't have a remotely hosted avatar, it gives the broken url image. (The little white box with the red x in it, like the attached image)

Ok, I don't know what I did wrong, but ManagerJosh came in and saved the day, lol. Thanks Josh.

Nice hack

np, what was the problem? i think what i did to fix that was remove that avatar template and just use the img src

I have no idea what went wrong, ManagerJosh re-hacked it for me, and it worked fine, I had to get rid of the avatar image in the user cp and the Welcome Panel, but at least it works in the threads now..

How do I get it to display in the postbit?

[nabeel]

you need to replace the code in "functions.php", it will automatically show up

This is exactly what I need, but doesn't directly relate to v2.3.0

Has anyone adapted it to work with the latest version?
