BuddyPress.org

I’ve been trying to work out how to get the user IDs for the notification items so I can display notification user avatars.

Is this the best way to do it, I’ve tested this with a few users and seems to work:

function test_notifications_avatar() {
	
	$bp      = buddypress();
	$user_id = $bp->notifications->query_loop->notification->secondary_item_id;
	
	if ( empty( $user_id ) )
		$user_id = $bp->notifications->query_loop->notification->item_id;

	echo bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( 'item_id' => $user_id, 'type'  => 'thumb' ) );
}
