Hi!
I am wondering if anyone would wanna help me with a rather simple Avatar MOD? I am currently using the "Profile Image as Avatar MOD", and I would like something that works similarly. Instead of using the Profile Image url though, I would like to add an extra field for the avatar url.
like this

I know that there are addons to the other Avatar MODs that will allow members to upload or link to their avatar, but only after the whole complex avatar system is installed. And I don't want that, I want it to be as simple as possible.
Am I making myself clear enough? I reckon this shouldn't be that hard, but I'm not skilled enough to do it myself. I gave it a try, and used the same method as for the "Profile Image as Avatar", but instead picked an unused member details field (occupation, in my case), but I couldn't figure it out. It didn't give me any errors though, just... nothing.
Am I right in assuming that if I wanted a completely new field for avatars, I'd need to make changes to the DB, and that the easiest thing would be to modify an existing field, or have I been going at this the wrong way completely?<

If no one takes this by Sat., bump the topic again and I may be able to do something. I've got a few too many irons in the fire at the moment. =/<

soo, I'm bumping this then?
Would be ace if you could have a look at it :)
I could add that I'm using "Profile Image as Avatar MOD" right now, so you would have to take that into consideration when you tell me what to add. Or if I should remove that MOD completely before starting out again.<

Sorry 'bout that, I spent the better part of yesterday catching up on the sleep I didn't get last week... I took a look at the demo you posted, and it may be better to add a new field. My first thought was to re-purpose one of the "Cool Links", but it looks like you're using those. Let me wake up a little more and I'll look into it. I don't think that I'll get it done today though.<
