I’m trying to get the oauth2 basic plugin working on a trial version of hosted Discourse. Everything seems to work, except for the `oauth2 json avatar path`, so I suspect I’m just doing something wrong. The response to the user JSON request looks something like this:
```plaintext
{
"email": "an.email.address@gmail.com",
"id": 123,
"login": "anemailaddress",
"name": "An Email Address",
"medium_user_icon_url": "https://static.inaturalist.org/attachments/users/icons/61724/medium.jpg?1475527316",
"original_user_icon_url": "https://static.inaturalist.org/attachments/users/icons/61724/original.jpg?1475527316",
"user_icon_url": "https://static.inaturalist.org/attachments/users/icons/61724/thumb.jpg?1475527316"
}
```
I’ve set the `oauth2 json avatar path` to `original_user_icon_url` (I’ve tried `medium_user_icon_url`, too), but every time I create a new account via OAuth, the user’s avatar image is just the default colored circle with the first letter of their name. Username, name, and email import just fine. This feels buggy, but am I just missing a configuration here?

Any ideas here @david ?

Hi @kueda, I think I see the issue here. We didn’t fetch the avatar on the initial login - it only happened on subsequent logins. This should fix the problem:
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse-oauth2-basic/commit/090f63c4290672a4e399f7c68b84a4f896ca6d36](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-oauth2-basic/commit/090f63c4290672a4e399f7c68b84a4f896ca6d36)
~~Please update to the latest version of the plugin and see if that helps.~~
~~I see you’re on one of our trials. I’ll let you know once we’ve updated your site.~~
All up-to-date - let us know how you get on @kueda 🙂
