Buddypress 2.5.0 Email Token to Display a Members Avatar

Hi guys,

Great update, really like the new email features. I was looking through the email tokens and I was surprised to not see one that allows member avatars to be shown in email templates. Did I miss it? If not, any chance it can be added by me (non coder) or in a future update?

Best Regards,

Mark

Hi @markob17

Glad you like it — thanks for using BuddyPress! There isn’t a token to add a member avatar. Where would you want it shown?

We could add a token, but it’d end up rendering a <img> tag, so I’d love to understand a bit more what your idea is. Maybe break out MS Paint and take a screenshot of an email and mark out what you’re describing?

Hey @djpaul!

Thanks for the quick reply. Basically I’d like to be able to include a clickable avatar of a member in the emails that are sent out instead of just an html link to their profile. Many community websites, online dating sites, etc., do this. For example, would be cool when a new member sends a friend request. Right now when a member friends another the default Buddypress email template includes a clickable link to visit the member’s profile ( {{initiator.name}} ). I think it would be sweet if there was a token ( e.g., {{initiator.avatar}} ) to use to give us the option to add the avatar.

Best!
