What's the correct URL format for retrieving the avatar image based on User ID?

What's the correct URL format for retrieving the avatar image based on User ID?

My realchat chatroom uses

Code:

        $avatarURL = $vbulletin->options[bburl]."/image.php?u=".$vbulletin->userinfo[userid];

I think its a conflict - the images are not appearing.

What is the correct way to call an avatar image?
I dug around here:
vBSEO Functions for Extensibility
but could not figure it out. Anyone have a clue? I would really appreciate it! Thanks in advance.

Hello,

does it work correctly with vBSEO disabled?

Where exactly are you using that code?

Try something like this:

PHP Code:

$avatarURL = $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . "/image.php?u=" . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']; 


I see your schwartz has more spaces than mine.
I will test both disabling vbseo (yikes!) and adding the spacing as quoted.

I'm using the code in realchat.php - the (very) popular realchat chatroom software file that bridges the two scripts. This worked on the site once upon a time and a few updates, mods, plugins, and technicians later, we don't get avatars in the chatroom anymore. I have a real itchy feeling that its a vbseo conflict.

Thank you for the two valuable suggestions!

PS if you guys have nothing to do (ha!) and want to play around with one on your testbed, have at it:

I am not to sure that $vbulletin would work on this. What if you typed out your full URL?
