BuddyPress.org

Hi,
Check this

/**

* Check if the current user has an uploaded avatar

* @return boolean

*/

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;

}

Confirmed. Thanks for investigating.

Ah hah. Hopefully we can get someone to test reversing that change on the Salutation theme; we may be on to a winner. Thanks Roger

I suspect that it is this ‘fix’ that has broken the functionality: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4215

I had to make this fix after the update
In bp-core-avatars.php I commented out
`return apply_filters( ‘bp_core_fetch_avatar’, ‘<img src="' . `
onward and added
`return apply_filters( ‘bp_core_fetch_avatar_url’, $gravatar );`

Also commented
`return apply_filters( ‘bp_core_fetch_avatar’, ‘<img src="' .`
and added
`return apply_filters( ‘bp_core_fetch_avatar_url’, $avatar_url );`

Not sure whether this is correct or not, but my site works.

I do not see any other issue.

bp_displayed_user_avatar only works on a members profile page use bp_core_fetch_avatar

not all functions work out of their components

So it will always be true due to the default avatar.

There might be an existing BP method to ignore both grav and default, but I don’t know what it is.

So you could string-check, something like this:

`
function user_has_avatar() {
global $bp;

$avatar = bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( ‘item_id’ => $bp->loggedin_user->id, ‘no_grav’ => true, ‘html’=>false) );

$pos = strpos($avatar, ‘mystery-man’);
if ($pos === false) return true;

return false;
}
`

Why would you want to link to an avatar?

If you mean show their avatar as a link to their profile…
Then if you know what that person’s user_id is… say as $that_member_id

`
$avatar=bp_core_fetch_avatar(array(“item_id”=>$that_member_id,”type”=>”thumb”,”height”=>32,”width”=>32));
$avatar_link = “” . $avatar . ““;
echo $avatar_link;
`

I found a solution for this. Hope it helps someone. Note that I am fetching the value of $user_id earlier in my loop.

`if ( function_exists(‘bp_core_fetch_avatar’) ) {
echo apply_filters( ‘bp_post_author_avatar’, bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( ‘item_id’ => $user_id, ‘type’ => ‘full’, ‘width’ => 120, ‘height’ => 120 ) ) );
} else if ( function_exists(‘get_avatar’) ) {
get_avatar( $user_id, $size = ‘120’);
}`

WordPress’ get_avatar() should work fine. For post/page comments, I would actually suggest using get_avatar() instead of bp_core_fetch_avatar() so that your site doesn’t break if you decide to turn off or stop using BuddyPress.

Hi,

In your comments template, you should try using the BP avatar function:
`
if ( function_exists( ‘bp_core_fetch_avatar’ ) ) :
echo bp_core_fetch_avatar( array(
‘item_id’ => THE_USER_ID,
‘type’ => ‘full’,
‘width’ => 75,
‘height’ => 75
));
endif;
`

Try this:
`
global $post; // probably don’t need this
$author_id=$post->post_author;

$avatar = bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( ‘item_id’ => $author_id, ‘type’ => ‘full’ ) );
echo $avatar;
`

If you want to specify the height / width you can do this:
`
$avatar = bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( ‘item_id’ => $author_id, ‘type’ => ‘full’, ‘height’=>105,’width’=>105 ) );
`

Thanks, mercime, but I’m not sure I understand. I’m not trying to change the size of avatars in the comments section, but rather in the sidebar for a multi-user buddypress site.

I see that in your code you’re using bp_core_fetch_avatar(). That function seems to produce the same output as get_avatar() for me — which is the avatar thumbnail scaled to whatever size I specify. Am I missing something?

That’s old, old code.

Use something like this to change the default group avatar:

`
// turn gravatars off
add_filter( ‘bp_core_fetch_avatar_no_grav’, ‘__return_true’ );

// change the default group avatar
function ray_change_group_avatar_default() {
return ‘URL TO GROUP DEFAULT AVATAR’;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_core_default_avatar_group’, ‘ray_change_group_avatar_default’ );`

Untested! This only works with gravatars turned off.

Since you’re using:
`add_filter( ‘bp_core_fetch_avatar_no_grav’, ‘__return_true’ );`

You can also define your mystery man image with:

For LINKTOYOURIMAGE.gif, try making it a transparent GIF. That’s probably the best you can do at the moment.

Also, a ticket was just brought up to add CSS classes to avatars:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3922

Keep an eye on that one.

Never mind, got it. Had to write a custom function:

`function bp_custompost_author_avatar() {
global $post;

if ( function_exists(‘bp_core_fetch_avatar’) ) {
echo apply_filters( ‘bp_post_author_avatar’, bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( ‘item_id’ => $post->post_author, ‘type’ => ‘full’ ) ) );
} else if ( function_exists(‘get_avatar’) ) {
get_avatar();
}
}
`

If it’s a members page use bp_core_fetch_avatar()

Take a look at BP’s bp_core_fetch_avatar_filter() function.
