Avatar for channels use AvatarExternalProviderUrl that's meant for users

[Gandalf-the-Grey]

Description:

It's great that avatars for channels are added via #3582,
however, if there's an instance that gets users avatars from external provider:
https://somesite.com/api/get_user_avatar/{username}

for channels like #general it tries to get avatar from
https://somesite.com/api/get_user_avatar/{username}
which is obviously unexpected as it's meant for users

@Gandalf-the-Grey we don't have that feature yet, it's planned for version 3.4 (next month) so I didn't get your issue.

Well, I'm running version 3.2.1 and yet, I clearly see the broken image icon next to channel avatar that's trying to open url according to AvatarExternalProviderUrl

@Gandalf-the-Grey can you provide a screen shot and inspect the element to check the URL used for the image?

[Gandalf-the-Grey]

Can't provide screenshot atm, but with AvatarExternalProviderUrl variable set to: https://images.hive.blog/u/{username}/avatar it ends up with:

<img data-src="https://images.hive.blog/u/@general/avatar" src="https://images.hive.blog/u/@general/avatar" alt="@general" class="avatar-image lazy-img">
