Alright, drilling down a bit further, in bp-groups/bp-grouptemplatetags.php, around line 279, there’s our bp_get_group_avatar() method.
`
function bp_get_group_avatar( $args = ” ) {
global $bp, $groups_template;$defaults = array(
‘type’ => ‘full’,
‘width’ => false,
‘height’ => false,
‘class’ => ‘avatar’,
‘id’ => false,
‘alt’ => __( ‘Group avatar’, ‘buddypress’ )
);$r = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );
extract( $r, EXTR_SKIP );
var_dump(‘buddypress group_avatar_call’, bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( ‘item_id’ => $groups_template->group->id, ‘object’ => ‘group’, ‘type’ => $type, ‘avatar_dir’ => ‘group-avatars’, ‘alt’ => $alt, ‘css_id’ => $id, ‘class’ => $class, ‘width’ => $width, ‘height’ => $height )) );
/* Fetch the avatar from the folder, if not provide backwards compat. */
if ( !$avatar = bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( ‘item_id’ => $groups_template->group->id, ‘object’ => ‘group’, ‘type’ => $type, ‘avatar_dir’ => ‘group-avatars’, ‘alt’ => $alt, ‘css_id’ => $id, ‘class’ => $class, ‘width’ => $width, ‘height’ => $height ) ) )
$avatar = ‘group->avatar_thumb ) . ‘” class=”avatar” alt=”‘ . esc_attr( $groups_template->group->name ) . ‘” />’;
return apply_filters( ‘bp_get_group_avatar’, $avatar );
}
`So I’ve var dumped the parameters that are used for bp_core_fetch_avatar() when it’s called from the default group landing page, then var_export($args, true) and copied that output directly to my own code and surprisingly, I get the same result as before, a blank img tag. So, this leads me to believe that this method is not meant to be used in the way I am using it.
As I find a better solution, I will follow up in case this is useful to someone else.
