bp_core_fetch_avatar overrides everything ;-(

Hi,

I’ve tried to change the avatar in several ways, but everytime Buddypress comes on the way and overrides settings. My last try was to set up a random avatar for every user, looks slack but… It doesn’t work with Buddypress. Since you guys are BP specialists I thought you would be able to know how to fix this issue.
Custom code I tried is this :

Many thanks, you rock !

If you do not want BP avatars, just remove BP’s avatar filter:

remove_filter( 'get_avatar_url', 'bp_core_get_avatar_data_url_filter', 10, 3 );

This is assuming you are using BuddyPress 2.9.

Thanks but I actually get a messy url for the called image, which looks like : https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/5f8db3e0ec852648d37cd8a3fd45c514?s=55&r=g&d=http%3A%2F%2Fmysite.com%2Fimage.jpg

gravatar.com is appended before the url even when I put an absolute url, in this example :
```
function myavatar_add_default_avatar( $url )
{
return 'http://mysite.com/image.jpg';
}
```
Any idea why ?
