BuddyPress.org

I managed to fix the issue.

Apparently BuddyPress does not change the avatar url when get_avatar_data() -function is called. I managed to fix the issue by adding following piece of script to my plugin’s source code:

<?php
add_filter("get_avatar_data", function($args, $id_or_email){
	$bp_avatar_url = bp_core_fetch_avatar([
			"html" => false,
			"item_id" => $id,
			"type" => "full",
			"width" => $args["size"],
			"height" => $args["size"]
	]);
	
	$bp_avatar_url = htmlspecialchars_decode($bp_avatar_url);
	$args["url"] = $bp_avatar_url;
			
	return $args;
}, 10, 2);
?>

Topic close as result is already formated :
http://hookr.io/functions/bp_core_fetch_avatar/

Usage

$string = bp_core_fetch_avatar( $args );

Parameters

$args
( array|string ) optional – { An array of arguments. All arguments are technically optional; some will, if not provided, be auto-detected by bp_core_fetch_avatar(). This auto-detection is described more below, when discussing specific arguments.

Returns

string Formatted HTML element, or raw avatar URL based on $html arg.

OK, for some reason that did not cut and paste correctly. The add_filter line looks like this.

add_filter( 'bp_core_fetch_avatar_no_grav','__return_true' );

The following code…

<?php

// Use this file to customize Buddy Press

// This section changes the default avatar to the picture of a box
// the picture is uploaded into WordPress
add_filter( 'bp_core_fetch_avatar_no_grav','__return_true' );
define ( ‘BP_AVATAR_DEFAULT’, ‘http://www.truesouthernmen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/0307152159-02-300×225.jpg&#8217; );
define ( ‘BP_AVATAR_DEFAULT_THUMB’, ‘http://www.truesouthernmen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/0307152159-02-300×225.jpg&#8217; );

?>

Returns this error when loading the page…..

Fatal error: Can’t use function return value in write context in /home/cody7670/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php on line 8

Found the code below on these forums works perfectly.

function my_cache_avatar_url() {
	update_user_meta( bp_displayed_user_id(), 'modemloopers_awesome_avatar_url', bp_core_fetch_avatar( 'html=false&item_id=' . bp_displayed_user_id() ) );
}
add_action( 'xprofile_screen_change_avatar', 'my_cache_avatar_url' );

I’ve tried to make it work for an xprofile field by doing the code below with no such luck. Any ideas?

function my_cache_xprofile_website() {
	update_user_meta( bp_displayed_user_id(), 'modemloopers_awesome_website_url', bp_profile_field_data('field=Website&item_id=' . bp_displayed_user_id() ) );
}
add_action( 'xprofile_updated_profile ', 'my_cache_xprofile_website' );

Yes it is. But rather than using a plugin (for this project i am nearly at 53 active plugins…too much) maybe its better to use a function.
i use this thread to ask you another question, some users (registered before i applied this plugin) named their account with a period: john.doe . Actually it’s not a big deal because buddypress (or wordpress natively) transform this dot into hyphen in each link.

On one specific page template, I have special function i created with the help of a dev to display all users by a custom taxonomy (ranks)

Only mater is that every hyperlink that link to account like john.doe are display like this http://www.website.com/members/john.doe and not http://www.website.com/members/john-doe

I search into the code and found this:

<div><?php $user = get_user_by('id', $gold ); ?><a href="<?php echo site_url();?>/members/<?php echo $user->user_login;?>/buddyblog/"><?php echo bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( 'item_id' => $gold, 'type' => 'full' ) ); ?></a><a href="<?php echo site_url();?>/members/<?php echo $user->user_login;?>/buddyblog/"><?php echo $user->user_login; ?></a>Performances: <?php echo count_user_posts( $gold ); ?></div>

I must change how is display the username.

Thank you for your time and your help!

I place this code in function.PHP

function my_cache_avatar_url() {
	update_user_meta( bp_displayed_user_id(), 'modemloopers_awesome_avatar_url', bp_core_fetch_avatar( 'html=false&item_id=' . bp_displayed_user_id() ) );
}
add_action( 'xprofile_screen_change_avatar', 'my_cache_avatar_url' );

But my web site show white screen

Where should I place on which page this code?

function my_cache_avatar_url() {
	update_user_meta( bp_displayed_user_id(), 'modemloopers_awesome_avatar_url', bp_core_fetch_avatar( 'html=false&item_id=' . bp_displayed_user_id() ) );
}
add_action( 'xprofile_screen_change_avatar', 'my_cache_avatar_url' );

Hi @shanebp,

Sorry for the confusion, I’ve created a bp_group_list_managers that’s a merge of bp_group_list_admins and bp_group_list_mods to provide a single consolidated listing.

function bp_group_list_managers($group=false) {
    global $groups_template;
    if(empty($group)) {
        $group =& $groups_template->group;
    }

    // fetch group admins if 'populate_extras' flag is false
    if (empty($group->args['populate_extras']) || true) {
        $query = new BP_Group_Member_Query(array(
            'group_id'   => $group->id,
            'group_role' => 'admin',
            'type'       => 'alphabetical',
        ));

        if (!empty($query->results)) {
            $group->admins = $query->results;
        }
    }

    // fetch group mods if 'populate_extras' flag is false
    if (empty($group->args['populate_extras']) || true) {
        $query = new BP_Group_Member_Query(array(
            'group_id'   => $group->id,
            'group_role' => 'mod',
            'type'       => 'alphabetical',
        ));

        if (!empty($query->results)) {
            $group->mods = $query->results;
        }
    }

    $admins = (array)$group->admins;
    $mods = (array)$group->mods;

    usort($admins, 'bp_group_member_sort');
    usort($mods, 'bp_group_member_sort');

    $group->managers = array_merge($admins, $mods);

    if (!empty($group->managers)) { ?>
        <ul id="group-managers">
            <?php foreach((array)$group->managers as $manager) { ?>
                <li>
                    <a href="<?php echo bp_core_get_user_domain($manager->user_id, $manager->user_nicename, $manager->user_login); ?>"><?php echo bp_core_fetch_avatar(array('item_id' => $manager->user_id, 'email' => $manager->user_email, 'alt' => sprintf( __( 'Profile picture of %s', 'buddypress' ), bp_core_get_user_displayname($manager->user_id)))) ?></a>
                </li>
            <?php } ?>
        </ul>
<?php } else { ?>
    <span class="activity"><?php _e( 'No Managers', 'buddypress' ) ?></span>
<?php }
}

As you can see I set the type here to alphabetical and was first confused why it did nothing then I realized the BP_Group_Member_Query’s were never even called as I guess populate_extras was set so not empty. This meant that the $group->admins and $group->mods came from the global $group_template->group which wasn’t ordered. I’m curious how to make that global $group_template->group admin/mod lists could be alphabetically ordered by default.

For now I just amended my method to simply force the BP_Group_Member_Query’s to be used instead which has allowed for the alphabetical ordering.

Hope that clears things up.

Thanks

Thanks for the explanation @danbp. Ahhhh the Mystery Man ha.

WP is using get_avatar and BP substitute it with his own code for internal purpose.

So if i understand you, WP calls for the user’s Gravatar regardless via get_avatar and Buddypress then just takes it from WP to make it appear on the user profile? Therefore the code add_filter('bp_core_fetch_avatar_no_grav', '__return_true'); only stops the second part of the process where Buddypress requests the user’s Gravatar from WP. That right?

Deactivating Gravatar will also deprive the people who use the service to get their usual picture on your site. It’s not an innocent decision.

Yeah I agree. The reasons I have now for wanting to prevent access to Gravatar is for data/privacy/3rd party website reasons and also slowdown (if the user numbers did reach certain levels). I don’t want to ‘force’ them to upload a profile pic because I want them to give as little or as much to their profile as they feel like (which is why I wouldn’t use the Buddydev force profile pic plugin either).

Thanks @henrywright! I’ll stick with add_filter('bp_core_fetch_avatar_no_grav', '__return_true'); then if it’s all I need to stop the Buddypress calls. What is it that WordPress calls for? Are you referring to the default ‘white figure on grey background’? Or does WordPress also check for a Gravatar in similar way to Buddypress. (I don’t currently use Gravatar).

Hi @djsteveb , I came across some of those posts you listed which is actually what got me thinking about it in the first place :). I’m trying to be as transparent as possible on user privacy/data on the site I’m creating. Searched the forums a little further and some of the threads are v old so thought I’d check if the stuff there was still applicable or had been deprecated.

Hi @danbp, thanks for the plugin suggestions. I’ve come across a few Buddydev plugins and will probably use their ‘bp-activity-comment-notifier’ plugin since they aren’t part of Buddypress default currently. Trying to keep plugins to a minimum early on.
With regards to the ‘bp-avatar-suggestions’ plugin (which you appear to have inspired), does that override any WordPress calls Henry mentioned above since you are using your own locally stored images? (similar I guess to the new user Twitter eggs)?

Tried a new code using bp_profile_field_data:

wpse_49216_my_new_avatar_url function () {

$ current_user = wp_get_current_user ();
$ current_user_id = $ current_user-> ID;

global $ bp;

     $ var = bp_profile_field_data (array ('user_id' => $ current_user_id, 'field' => 'ranking'));
if ($ var == "Cranking") {

return 'http://hsseek2.esy.es/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/lendario.png';
}
if ($ var == "Dranking") {
return 'http://hsseek2.esy.es/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/25.png';
}
}
add_filter ('bp_core_fetch_avatar_url', 'wpse_49216_my_new_avatar_url');

function wpse_49216_filter_bp_avatar ($ html) {
     return preg_replace ('/src=".+?"/', 'src =' 'wpse_49216_my_new_avatar_url ()..' "', $ html);
}

add_filter ('bp_core_fetch_avatar', 'wpse_49216_filter_bp_avatar');

It now appears the name of the field on the homepage, but I need to treat the value returned by bp_profile_field_data it looks like is:

http://hsseek2.esy.es/

username: teste
password: 1234

What value the bp_profile_field_data returns? How can I treat it?

the code I am using is:

wpse_49216_my_new_avatar_url function () {

global $ bp;

     $ranking = xprofile_get_field_data ('ranking', bp_get_member_user_id ());
if ($ranking == "Top 25") {

return 'http://hsseek2.esy.es/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/25.png';
}
if ($ gender == "Top 24") {
return 'http://hsseek2.esy.es/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/24.png';
}
}
add_filter ('bp_core_fetch_avatar_url', 'wpse_49216_my_new_avatar_url');

function wpse_49216_filter_bp_avatar ($ html) {
     return preg_replace ('/src=".+?"/', 'src =' 'wpse_49216_my_new_avatar_url ()..' "', $ html);
}

add_filter ('bp_core_fetch_avatar', 'wpse_49216_filter_bp_avatar');
