[RESOLVED(ish)] Update avatar automagically

I am trying to fetch a file from an external resource and set it as a user’s avatar.
I’m using cURL to fetch the image. I have looked through bp_core_avatar_handle_upload() but this is geared towards a form post from the user’s hdd. Is there a way that I can do this?

Check out the “bp_core_mysteryman_src” and “bp_core_fetch_avatar” filters located in /bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php.

This article details a little bit of how to do it:

Tanks ray. That sets a default across the board. There is no way to point to individually sourced external images.

@r-a-y I decided to munge in the external image file (continued in another topic)
