Small Avatar Size in Activity Stream

Hi all,

So I noticed that for different activity the avatar of the user will be different size.
For example, a post in the forum, or a status update will show a larger avatar of the user. While a notice saying a “user ‘xyz’ became a registered member” will show a smaller avatar.

I see how this makes sense as bp perhaps deem some activity as more important but I would like to change it to the size of the larger avatar.

A rough measurement with a virtual ruler shows that the larger avatar is 50x50px and the smaller avatar is 20x20px I think.

Ideally I would like to make this change in the child theme’s css – any guidance appreciated.

Thank you

Hi,
have you read the Codex about avatars ?

>deem some activity as more important

I never understood that either.
It seems arbitrary and esoteric.

Try this:
Create a template over-ride of
bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\members-loop.php

And replace
bp_member_avatar()
with
bp_member_avatar('type=full&width=50&height=50')

I had the same problem and I added this CSS to my theme in the Custom CSS section, if you don’t have Custom CSS section, you can create a child theme. I don’t know if its buddypress or a plugin but some avatars in “activity” are set as “mini” making the 20×20 avatar. It may look good in replies but not in the situation you described. Here is the custom CSS I used to keep the mini avatar at 50×50 like the rest of my activity stream.

#buddypress .activity-list li.mini .activity-avatar img.avatar, #buddypress .activity-list li.mini .activity-avatar img.FB_profile_pic {
height: 50px;
margin-left: 0px;
width: 50px;
}
