Trying to figure out if user has specified avatar

[brandondrury]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me where I could find the database table / column that tells if an avatar has been set by the user.

I've found that if I try to snag the avatar using the following method from a member who does not have an avatar, I get some default vBulletin image.

PHP Code:

$avatarid = "http://forum.recordingreview.com/image.php?u=$userid"; 


Because vBulletin still returns an image, I haven't figured out how to right a php IF statement for this. It seams I need to figure it out from the database.

If I am not wrong you want to check if a user has an avatar or not.

You can go to avatar or customavatar fields to see whether a user has an avatar or not.

Any idea what table those would be under?

I checked the user table and didn't find any values for any of the avatar fields even though many of the users have avatars.

Okay, I found it. It's under the "customavatar" table.

I told that in my first post.

PHP Code:

<?
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM customavatar WHERE userid='$userid'");
if (mysql_num_rows($query)>0) 
{ 
echo "this user has an avatar.";
}
?>

Use this script;

PHP Code:

// ### You'll need the globals, but you probably already include this script so remove this line if you do!
require_once('./global.php');

// ### You'll need the user functions, remove this line if it's already begin called
require_once('./includes/functions_user.php');

// ### Just making sure it's not already set! ;)
unset($avatar_url, $avatar);
$show['avatar'] = false; // for the templates

// ### Is user logged in?
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])
{
    // User logged in, so fetch avatar (one query)
    $avatar_url = fetch_avatar_url($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']);

    // If user has avatar set some vars
    if (is_array($avatar_url)
    {
        $avatar['url']  = $avatar_url[0];
        $avatar['size'] = $avatar_url[1];
        $show['avatar'] = true;
    }
} 


and this in the template in question;

<if condition="$show[avatar]">
<img src="$avatar[url]" border="0" $avatar[size] />
</if>
