BuddyPress.org

@pjbursnall , I wouldn’t say that it is pretty easy here

<?php global $current_user;
		get_currentuserinfo();
		$display = $current_user->display_name;
		$login = $current_user->user_login;
		$userid = $current_user->ID;
                $home = get_home_url();
?>

add that above your custom drop-down then its pretty simple just echo out the username, url etc <li class="li-fourth"><a href="<?php echo $home . '/members/' . $login . '/activity/mentions'; ?>">Mentions</a></li>

EDIT –

Oh the other bit you’d have to google for is the avatar but here
<?php echo bp_core_fetch_avatar( array('item_id' => $userid, 'type' => 'full', 'width' => 100,'height' => 100));?>
You’ll want to adjust the width/height accordingly

add_filter('bp_core_fetch_avatar_no_grav', '__return_true');

to get the authors BP account url you could try:

bp_core_get_user_domain( get_the_author_meta( ‘ID’ )

In the same vein you should be able to grab the BP avatar:

bp_core_fetch_avatar( array(‘item_id’ => get_the_author_meta( ‘ID’ )

Please do not advise the editing of core files this is poor practise and never recommended.

You describe the default args there, the correct means of changing those is when using bp_core_fetch_avatar() to pass it an array of values.

In templates adjust the various avatar calls using similar principle

<?php
$userid = bp_loggedin_user_id();
$avatarurl = bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( ‘item_id’ => $userid, ‘html’ => false ) );
echo $avatarurl;
?>

rewrite the quote marks, if you cut and paste it can have funky formatting. If you want to display the avatar instead of getting link:

<?php
$userid = bp_loggedin_user_id();
echo bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( ‘item_id’ => $userid) );
?>

$id = //pass the id of a user
bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( ‘item_id’ => $id, ‘html’ => false ) );

If you are not on a user page then you must tell it what id of the avatar to get.

bp_displayed_user_id
bp_loggedin_user_id

@applegateian, henries code should work, but as you’ve experienced it won’t change the current size of the avatars. I also believe bp has thumbnail avatars and “full” the smaller “thumbnail” the ones wordpress uses is 50px and the larger(which can be grabbed with bp_core_fetch_avatar) are 150px by 150px.

bp_core_fetch_avatar( array(
    'item_id' => $userid,
    'type'     => 'full',
    'width'    => 150,
    'height'  => 150
));

That will display the “full” avatar.

BuddyPress seems to attempt to filter get_avatar() – see bp_core_fetch_avatar_filter(). I did bring this issue up a while ago at WordPress Trac but the call was closed.

https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/24596

Wonder if anyone thinks it’s worthy of a BP Trac ticket?

You’re using wordpress’s get_avatar, bp_core_fetch_avatar is what you’re looking for

@megainfo, @shanebp, please what am I missing.

I put the below code in my functions.php

function current_user_has_avatar() {

global $bp;

if ( bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( 'item_id' => $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'no_grav' => true,'html'=> false ) ) != bp_core_avatar_default() )

return true;

return false;

}

and this in my header.php

<?php
global $bp;
if( !bp_get_user_has_avatar()) :
?>
        <div class="no-pic">
            <strong>Alert !</strong> You have no profile Pic, Clik here to add one now.
            <button class="close" data-dismiss="alert">×</button>
            </div>
<?php
endif;

It work but the alert is not closing when i try to close it

In that plugin, you need to replace

echo get_avatar( $current_user->ID, $sl_options['avatar_size'] );

with this:

echo bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( 'item_id' => $current_user->ID, 'type' => 'full' ) );

@grimbog
Is there any ETA when it will be ready for testing?

bp_core_fetch_avatar() is where the magic happens

http://phpxref.ftwr.co.uk/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php.source.html#l86

Would love to test this. I’ve got a site for kids and could see this being a really fun feature.

Interestingly, buddypress default theme does not accept avatar from social networks when used with WordPress Social Login plugin. I wish I could provide a random avatar for such cases where buddypress does not accept the avatar provided by social networks.

There ain’t any active plugins that can produce random avatars. I believe that the plugin that @Lawrence talks will go a long way if it is in public domain. Hence, I request him to offer us some download links to his work. Thanks.

@Lawrence: have you been able to complete this plugin? Can you please provide a download link as I am interested to use this plugin. Thanks.

Just to be clear, what you are trying to do is display like the user avatar and other details on the author page? You can’t just use member-header as that looks at the ‘current user’. In this case the author page doesn’t have the right information for those calls to work.

What I’d suggest is you get the userid and use functions like these:

bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( 'item_id'=>$userid, 'width'=>150));

bp_last_activity( $userid );

That way you’re creating the member-header yourself. You could even have a template part to do this and just call that in the right place.

echo bp_core_fetch_avatar( ‘item_id=’.get_post_author_id() );
