WP Profilpicture from FB to PHPBB
-
I have a login in WP via Facebok. Each user has there as a profile picture deposited with FB. Can this profile image be transferred to phpBB?

Sorry lost this …
No because the plugin use phpBB avatars in WP and not do viceversa (except for the buddypress profile avatar: the same could be done with FB avatar)
In phpBB you can setup gravatar as avatar, it is retrieved by email in phpBB.But in theory, with some line of code:
the answer could be yes. If this plugin you use, retrieve these images from FB and store it in some way. For what i know, you need oauth token to access FB user data, which is released in behalf of who request it, by FB, when requested explicitly by the user. So i assume this plugin you use, in some way ask to users for access to their fb data, and the point as said, is: after the plugin retrieve the data, store these data? If yes would be easy to hook and retrieve the image for the user. If the plugin instead, do an oauth request to fb each time, to retrieve user’s data, could be possible to hook into his code in some way and grab the needed image info for the user. As latest chance, could be possible to use the token and do an oauth request explicitly for the scope (but this would be really bad and stupid maybe)
