More so a question about skin variables.

How would I go about changing URL's such as $avatarurl? I'm running into a problem with this with vBadvanced (yes, I asked them but they haven't helped yet...same with vb.org) and $avatarurl comes up for <img src....I know there is a problem with it b/c the image doesn't show up for the the avatar on my vBa and when I check the location of the image, it shows up as this:

xxxxx.com/forums/forums/link_to_avatar.gif

I'm sure this can take a second to answer, if I know where to edit it I can take it from there.

I know this post probably doesn't belong here but you guys have helped me out with my site quite a bit and you guys seem to answer quickly, so thank you.

Hello Justin,

you can customize your avatar URL format in vbseocp. You can also disable rewrites for avatar URLs.

I tried that and it didn't work :(

Is there somewhere to edit $avatarurl so that I can have it so that it points in the right directory. Like I stated above, its going /forums/forums/...etc. I do not have a /forums/forums/ so when I'm on the portal, I get an X b/c it can't load the image...since it isn't there. I've asked everywhere and no one's been able to help me with this. :'(

EDIT: Ok, I figured it out after countless hours a researching this problem. I wish vBa would implement this instead of everyone having to figure out what the problem is.

Anyways, download "welcomeblock.php" from your server (in the modules folder). Open it in your favorite editor (notepad should be fine):

find

Code:

$avatarurl = $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/' . $avatarurl[0];

replace with

Code:

$avatarurl = $avatarurl[0];

Thanks Oleg...you've been the only one that has replied to any of my threads. I appreciate it.

Great, thank you for the follow-up!
