phpBB3 How can I get the member Names and Avatar pictures outside of the forums

Question

I want to be able to show the Members of my forum on my website with their pictures and usernames (or just their usernames). How can I get that info? JSON perhaps? Is there a plugin that could do it or would I need to do a custom MYSQL query to the phpBB database directly?

Answer 1

I would create a custom mysql query. It's much more flexible that way. Here's the database structure of Table.phpbb_users. You probably need username or username_clean and user_avatar.
