The user_id argument doesn’t exist because there is no user_id argument. The argument that accepts a user id is the item_id argument as I stated above. Try this:

echo bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( ‘width’ => 30, ‘height’ => 30, ‘item_id’ => 1 ) );

If all you need is the thumbnail, then you don’t need the ‘type’ argument, as it defaults to thumbnail.

Have a look at bp_core_fetch_avatar(). It accepts a number of arguments you’ll want to explore for your use case. The most important being $item_id, which in your case would be your user id number and that user id of your teacher.

@justbishop I also use the subdirectories – so filters should be OK in this case
but probably you have some custom avatar upload path or constant BP_ROOT_BLOG is not defined in your installation?
another possible reason – the function that fetch avatars for members blogs does not use bp_core_fetch_avatar() but some other mechanism

Your pastie link doesn’t work.

This is working for me:
$myslug = 'my-test-group';
if ( bp_has_groups('type=single-group&slug='.$myslug) )

For some reason, you have to add the type as “single-group” as well.

If you’re just trying to get the group avatar of one group… just use bp_group_avatar() (view the params in bp-groups-templatetags.php) or bp_core_fetch_avatar() (view params in bp-core-avatars.php).

@tinabeans – just tested the following snippet:

echo bp_core_fetch_avatar( 'item_id='.get_post_author_id() );

This is working for me on a deep-integrated external bbPress install. Let me know if this works for you.

Ok, this is what I’ve come up with so far in order to get the user’s facebook profile pic. However, they disappear when you log in. If anyone is willing to add to this to give it the finishing touch it needs or can tell me what to add that would be great.

add_action('wpfb_login', 'bp_jfb_get_avatar');



function bp_jfb_get_avatar($avatar, $id_or_email='') {

global $comment; $id_or_email;



if(is_object($comment)) {

$user_id = $comment->user_id;

}



if (is_object($id_or_email)) {

$user_id = $id_or_email->user_id;

}



if (is_array($id_or_email)) {

if ($id_or_email['object']='user') {

$user_id = $id_or_email['item_id'];

}

}



if (get_usermeta($user_id, 'facebook_uid')) {

$user_info = get_userdata($user_id);

$jfb_suffix = '';



if ( $id_or_email['width'] ) {

$jfb_size = $id_or_email['width'];

if( $jfb_size < 32 ) {

$jfb_suffix = 'm';

} else if ( $jfb_suffix < 64 ) {

$jfb_suffix = 'n';

} else {

$jfb_suffix = 'b';

}

} else if ( 'full' == $id_or_email['type'] ) {

$jfb_size = BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH;

$jfb_suffix = 'b';

} else if ( 'thumb' == $id_or_email['type'] ) {

$jfb_size = BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH;

$jfb_suffix = 'n';

}

$avatar = '<fb:profile-pic uid="'.$user_info->facebook_uid.'" facebook-logo="true" size="'.$jfb_size.'" width="'.$jfb_size.'" linked="true" class="avatar"></fb:profile-pic>';

return $avatar;



} else {

return $avatar;

}



}

add_filter( 'bp_core_fetch_avatar', 'bp_jfb_get_avatar',10,4);

This code should go in a bp-custom.php file and uploaded to the mu-plugins directory.

what redirect chain is that?

only thing i see in

function bp_core_fetch_avatar( $args = '' ) {

which might slow down the process is checking for

if ( file_exists( $avatar_folder_dir ) ) {

if you have disabled avatar uploads for members.

What if you removed the existing bp_core_fetch_avatar_filter from get_avatar and then created your own copy that passed ‘no_grav’=>true into the bp_core_fetch_avatar function?

I think this should kill the attempt to use Gravatar to fetch an avatar. I’m assuming that bp_core_fetch_avatar isn’t being called directly anywhere. If you do find anywhere that does, it should probably have a ticket raised against it.

This isn’t hard at all.

Apply a filter to:

bp_gravatar_url

Return a url to a default image.

[EDIT]

Just noticed that bp_gravatar_url only changes the domain… the params are still added at the end of the URL.

Might try applying a filter to:

bp_core_fetch_avatar

Write a function to see if “gravatar.com” exists in the image URL, if so, return a default image.

I too am getting this error, not on my main blog, but just one of my user blogs. I thought it could have been the theme, but my personal blog uses the same theme as this user.

I have ust moved my site over to a new domain, everthing is working great on the main blog. but on my user blogs I am running into a problem with comments – they have an error…

Warning: Missing argument 5 for bp_core_fetch_avatar_filter() in senilityguild.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php on line 345

The user blog with comment post is: http://senilityguild.com/ledsoul/2010/03/14/new-senilily-banner/

And my personal blog is(using same theme): http://senilityguild.com/kiwipearls/2010/03/maggotyanne/

And the main blog is http://senilityguild.com

So what has broken on this users theme? And what can I do to fix this? Wondering if I should just import that users db over again? (as i had to import the 3 user blogs separately to the main blog, as I think the main blog was a little bit corrupted as the old site had lots of problems)

Using most recent Buddypress 1.2.3 ?(get my numbers mixed up)and MU 2.9.2

re: forum index

etiviti (rich!), I spiffed up the forum index by adding Group/Forum avatars beside the forum title/description (see code below)

Question: can you think of an easy way to include a link to the last active post, say, in a final column? I looked at the code last night didn’t get that far.

Add Avatar to BP Forum Extras – Forum Index

Under:

<td class=”num td-title”>

Add:

<div class=”item-avatar”>

<?php $width=50;$height=50;$type=’thumb’; echo bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( ‘item_id’ => $listing->id, ‘object’ => ‘group’, ‘type’ => $type, ‘avatar_dir’ => ‘group-avatars’, ‘width’ => $width, ‘height’ => $height ) ) ?>

</div>

Look into the bp_core_fetch_avatar() function in bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php.

Sounds good to me. Not sure if there’s a better way performance-wise.

@djpaul don’t worry, I don’t think he’ll do it

@bowe Here is an example of what’s in 1.2 right now (@Andy – is this what you were talking about?)

from single.php

<div class=”author-box”>

<?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_email(), ’50’ ); ?>

<p><?php printf( __( ‘by %s’, ‘buddypress’ ), bp_core_get_userlink( $post->post_author ) ) ?></p>

</div>

So in the same code block we get the WP based avatar while getting the BP based Name. Hmm. Not sure why but I am going to use either bp_loggedin_user_avatar() or bp_member_avatar() instead, or possibly bp_core_fetch_avatar() feeding in the id via bp_core_fetch_avatar($post->post_author) but I am just flying by the seat of my pants and have not tried it yet.

I do know this. We know who the post author is. We know he has a username. That username is the same in WP or BP, so we can get his BP avatar and other info via that route. The rest is theming.

The code for fetching avatar resides in buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-avatar.php

checkout this function there

bp_core_fetch_avatar

There are several filters there and you can use those filters to manipulate the things better.
