hi, is there any function/code to call member’s avatar specified by username, or ID, or…?

what I want is to show horizontal list of, let’s say, ten specific avatars (even if I will have to call the code 10 times)
checked google, bp docs…any help?

thank you.

ok, probably, my solution is bp_get_the_site_member_avatar

as I understand it is for one ID, is there smth similar for several ID?

You might want how to look at how it’s done in this plugin – not updated for a while

hi @mercime ,

thanks for reply. yes, idea was to use this plugin, but it has some strange issue with last wp bp updates described here: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-featured-members-widget/forum/topic/multiple-avatars-of-the-same-member-showing-in-widget/

therefor, I hoped that there is some other approach.

as I understand, in “featured member widget” I need this part of code:

`

<a href="” title=””> $member_id, ‘type’ => ‘thumb’ ) ) ?>`

maybe in latest bp some function was changed?

An easier alternative would be to use the member’s loop to generate your list:

`

Featured Members

<a href="”>

`

where 2,12,46,233,365 are the user ID’s of the people you want to feature.
see https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-members-loop/

already was able to get one avatar with the code below, only don’t know how to add multiple IDs to bp_core_get_userid( ‘1’ ), but your method works well @mercime, somehow I forgot about this loop, thanks a lot!

`

<a href="” title=””> $member_id, ‘type’ => ‘thumb’ ) ) ?>`

@mercime , can you describe the way widget display users?
First of all I have notices that users are shown in random order.
The problem I have at the moment is that I put 22 users to display, but only 20 are displayed. Does it mean that there is a 20 users to show limit? Does it mean that remaining 2 users will be shown later, when next shuffle would happen?

@sladkoe6ka
cannot help with specific widget, but I assume that you should add missing per_page parameter, e.g.

bp_has_members( ‘include=2,12,46,233,365&per_page=22’ )

see the link to codex above.
