blog avatar is not yet supported in bp.
Users registering at your bp site can just upload their own from their computer without visiting gravatar.com
Has anyone taken on the idea of allowing “Member Blog” avatars? I’m trying to start a business styled WPMU/BP community. Branding through logo exposure is smart advertising.
It would be appropriate (not to mention very natural) to give the member blog owner the ability to upload a logo/avatar of choice (could be done from the admin area of each member blog as a file upload)???
I also really need each blog to have it’s own logo / avatar. I’ll code the function myself if I have to. Can someone point me in the right direction to get started? What files currently deal with the blog avatar?
While I can’t really point you in the right direction for BP, I can confirm that it’s possible in WPMU on it’s own. I remember there being major issues when people tried this with BP 1.0, but maybe things have changed in the core files since then.
