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

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() );

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’);
}`
