adding avatar & name to blogs

I am trying to add the blog owner name & avatar to their blog(s). When I try to use bp_the_avatar() in the theme, it just uses some generic avatar… not the avatar associated with the person.

Is there some function call I need to make to get the bp functions to work right in themes?

I’d like to build a widget for this, but for now you can do this in the sidebar:
```
<div id="profile-badges">

<?php

$users = get_users_of_blog( $current_blog->blog_id );



foreach ( $users as $user ) {

$user = new BP_Core_User( $user->user_id );

?>

<div class="profile-badge-avatar"><?php echo $user->avatar_thumb ?></div>

<div class="profile-badge-name"><?php echo $user->user_link ?></div>

<div class="profile-badge-active"><?php echo $user->last_active ?></div>

<?php } ?>

</div>
```
That will print a profile badge for every user with privileges on a blog.

Andy,

Is the script above a means to change the blog avatars in BP. I’ve seen the trac ticket for it, but is this the “temporary” workaround?

Thanks,

Ninh
