PP5.5 : Avatars too large with IB2 + fix suggestion
 

When using Invision Board 2 integration, avatar's width and height is not restricted.
It sometimes breaks the comments layout when members are using too large avatars.

Here is what I use on my gallery, the code has been backported from IB2 sources.

In file forums/ib2.php, in function get_profiledata(), around line 166 :
1) We need to fetch avatar's size from database (changes highlighted in red) :
2) Then, we can use it to set avatar size (changes highlighted in red) :

So your saying IB2 does not restrict avatar sizes like other forums? I dont own it so I cant say which is why I ask. Most forums have an avatar size restriction and resize to this set size

Yes, I was very surprised when I discovered that some avatars on my board were not resized as they should be. Here are suppositions :

As other boards, IB2 has a setting to restrict avatars size. New uploaded avatars are correctly resized following this setting.
But what happends if you change this settings after that some avatars were uploaded ? I don't think IB2 will resize thousands existing avatars to adapt it with the new setting.

Another explaination : IB2 allows to use avatars hosted by a distant website. In that case, IB2 has no control over avatar's width/height.

I think these 2 examples can explain why they added a width & height parameter in <img> tag.

This occurs when a user chooses a remotely hosted avatar, and it's larger than the standard setting.

Are there any plans to officially implement this fix? It's still an issue with the latest 5.62 release.

The fix provided by flat continues to work once added (Thanks flat :))
