XF 2.1 Is it possible to produce a users avatar URL from just their ID?

data/avatars/s/21/21944.jpg

so it looks like the 21944 is the user ID and this does correlate to the 21 folder. the s stands for small.

how does it work out the 21 folder, why not 2 or 219?

is it possible to grab the users avatar with just their ID?

thanks.

There are 1,000 images/files per directory.

Your user ID is 178664 - https://xenforo.com/community/members/rezpkt.178664/

Therefore your (large) avatar file is - https://xenforo.com/community/data/avatars/l/178/178664.jpg

thanks Brogan

where is it getting the 178 directory from though? It's no coincidence my userID starts with 178

As a rule of thumb, all of the /data content files (attachments, avatars, etc.) are stored in a folder name that is the ID value divided by 1000 and then taking the 'floor' value of it. floor($this->user_id / 1000); It works out to 1,000 files per folder as Brogan mentioned.

178664/1000 = 178 (rounded)

If this is something you're doing inside of XF, you can use the function $User.getAvatarUrl({size}) to grab the URL where {size} would be 's' for small. In a template, for example, you could use this inline <xf:set var="$image">{$User.getAvatarUrl('s', null, true)}</xf:set> to set a variable named '$image' to get the user's avatar URL assuming that $User is your user entity. If you're working with a thread then you could use something like <xf:set var="$image">{$thread.User.getAvatarUrl('s', null, true)}</xf:set> instead.

Yeah, no. It would be from a SPA which knows the users user ID. I was hoping to be able to build the URL client side, which sounds like I can.

Remember to add logic for those members who do not have an uploaded avatar, or who use gravatar.
