Hi everyone!

I coded two widgets, one to list the most active blogs on the website home, and another to show up a profile on blogs.

The weird thing is that using the same method for both widgets, they display different avatars. In my blog home I got the right avatar, but on blog profiles sidebar widget I get a gravatar “smiling square” generated one, not the one uploaded via Buddypress.

The method (exactly the same in both widgets) is something like:
—-
global $blog_id;
$user = get_blog_owner ($blog_id) // function to not get site admin users
echo get avatar ($user->ID, 96); // bp_core_fetch_avatar(‘item_id=’.$user->ID) does not work, either
—-

Hope someone can help me on this.
Thanks in advance.

I don’t know if there’s something wrong with it, but that’s the get_blog_owner, just in case.

function get_blog_owner($blog_id = “”, $one_result = true) {
if (!$blog_id) global $blog_id;
if (!is_numeric($blog_id)) return “Blog ID must be an integer.”;

global $wpdb;

//first we’ll attempt to find the author by matching the admin email against users
$qryAuthor = $wpdb->get_var(“SELECT ID FROM “.$wpdb->users.”, “.$wpdb->base_prefix.$blog_id.”_options WHERE option_name = ‘admin_email’ AND option_value = user_email;”);
if ($qryAuthor) return get_userdata($qryAuthor);

//if that fails, we’ll look for the blog administrator, user level 10
$qryAuthor = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT user_id FROM “.$wpdb->usermeta.” WHERE meta_key = ‘”.$wpdb->base_prefix.$blog_id.”_user_level’ AND meta_value = 10;”);
if ($wpdb->num_rows <= 0) return false; //if there are still no results, return false
if ($wpdb->num_rows == 1 || $one_result == true) return get_userdata($qryAuthor[0]->user_id); //if there’s only one blog admin or only want one result, we’ll return that

//otherwise return an array of administrators
$authors = array();
foreach ($qryAuthor as $author) $authors[] = get_userdata($author->user_id);
return $authors;
}
