PRB: news & welcome modules assume relative avatar URL

[enry]

Hi,

I serve images through a static server. That means most avatars have absolute URLs. In modules/news.php and modules/welcomeblock.php, you assume the URL is relative, and prepend $vbulletin->options['bburl']. It would be nice to have a check, and only prepend that value if the URL is relative. Here are my changes on the latest vba 3.2.0 downloaded < 1 hr

NB -this only works for me for relative URL avatars because my vba sits in the same folder as vbulletin. Hence it would be best if it were to check.

modules/welcomeblock.php line 28:

PHP Code:

if ($avatarurl[0])
{
    //$avatarurl = $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/' . $avatarurl[0];
    $avatarurl = $avatarurl[0];
} 


modules/news.php line 297:

PHP Code:

    if ($mod_options['portal_news_showavatar'] AND $vbulletin->userinfo['showavatars'])
{
    if ($news['avatarpath'])
    {
        //$news['avatarpath'] = $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/' . $news['avatarpath'];
        $news['avatarpath'] = $news['avatarpath'];
    }
