Does anyone know of a plugin with which i can use on both the aforementioned sites? I've integrated both bbpress & wordpress so they use the same profile, and i just want to include a way for users to upload an avatar. and for it to show next to comments. their posts, and in their profile. Any help much appreciated!
bbpress / wordpress avatar?
(30 posts) (13 voices)-
I think the easiest thing to do is to use Louisedade's avatar plugin ( http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/1027?replies=3 ), and then using a simple MySQL query on the Wordpress side to get that data to use next to comments.
How did you integrate profiles?

If you use services like MyBlogLog or Gravatar, you can use that plugin for bbPress and Wordpress has a couple of plugins that also bring in those avatars into your comments. Good question fel64! How did you do it?

I have modified Dan's Avatar Thingy to work on both Wordpress and bbPress (the avatar is set in the Wordpress user interface). It's really rather easy to do.
I actually also modified the plugin so that instead of always resizing an image to a certain size, it instead checks that the image is not bigger than X*Y, and only acts if it is.
Tell me, if you are interested, and I can e-mail you the source for my modified Avatar Thingy. Note, though, that I made the modifications with my own website in mind, so it isn't really an "out-of-the-box" solution, and you will most certainly need to do some coding to get it work for you (much depends on how exactly your bbPress is intergrated with Wordpress).

Ok, here's what I have, commented. The comments that start with "VILI" are mine.
Please keep in mind two things:
a) This is strictly speaking a Wordpress plugin, not a bbPress one. The functionality is simply extended to also cover an integrated bbPress installation. (And yes, this means that you need to install this in your Wordpress, not your bbPress.)
b) I hacked this for my own purposes, so it may not be pretty, and it certainly won't be ready for use without you reading through the code. If someone is interested in working to make it functional as an "out of the box" solution, then by all means go ahead.
Finally, the original Dan's Avatar Thingy can be found here.

Indeed, would save some work. :)

daddy, you will need to use the "Vili's avatar thingy" code that I posted above, and then just use the same function as with Wordpress:
<?php if(function_exists('cmd_show_avatar')){ cmd_show_avatar(); } ?>Posted 2 years ago # -
Sorry for the confusion. :)
It's a Wordpress plugin. And no, you don't need to install any avatar-upload thing, or indeed any other extra plugin to get this to work.
The function works both on Wordpress and bbPress, but since it is a Wordpress plugin (and thus a Wordpress function) you will need to make Wordpress functions available to bbPress. This is covered in the Integration with Wordpress page in the bbPress documentation (see the last section, "Functions").
I hope this clears things up a little.

Works great vilimaunula! I really love Dans/Vili avatar thingy :) It's a nice solution.

Is this on a Wordpress or a bbPress page, dyaddydad? Have you done a full bbPress integration, including the "functions" section? Do you use the $forumpage variable as suggested in my post with the code? Did you uninstall Dan's plugin before uploading mine?

MemberWordpress. I have deleted Dan's. When I try to activate it or on every single page when it is activated. Can you e-mail me the code so that I have the exact version or post it in the plugins bit. Awgandrews ATHIS gmail.com .
Same again through:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /homepages/27/d120217802/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/cmdavatar.php on line 193
I haven't intergrated it with bbpress yet, but since I can't get it to activate, this doesn't seem to be the problem.
Thanks!

There's something odd there, as the code is 193 lines long, i.e. the line 193 includes only "?>".
Anyway, I'll send you the code in a sec by email.

Hmm. Actually, the code that I copy-pasted from the above seems to be different from what I have on my hard drive. At least a number of "<p>" tags appear to be missing.

Hi guys,
"Small" problem: when I try to activate Vili's plugin in my Wordpress plugin admin pannel, I get the following message:
"The plugin could not be activated for it's causing a fatal error."
:'( Any clue what the problem might be?
I'm using Wordpres 2.2 and BBpress 0.8.1, French install.
I didn't change anything in Vili's PHP, but maybe I should have?I'm not programmer, so please help me :) Thank you so much in advance!

Vili. I have Dan's avatar thing working on my wordpress blog, and I have installed bbpress and have been having the hardest time getting the integration to work. I am not very familiar with php, so if you could tell me what I am doing wrong, I would be grateful.
I have bbpress installed in a subfolder one level up from my wordpress install in a folder called 'forums'. I read all the comments here, and have looked at the Function integration part of the "Integration with Wordpress" post per your suggestion. I added the code:
require_once('path/to/wp-blog-header.php');
to the bbpress config.php file, and it throws an error when I load bbpress. I have tried using 'wp-blog-header.php' and '/wp-blog-header.php' and '/' and even ' ' as the path to the file, and nothing works, it throws an error every time. I even tried a backslash! lol

Trying to activate Vili's Avatar Thingy, my wordpress says:
"The plugin could not be activated for it's causing a fatal error."
What now? :(

If you have access to a log file, check to see what the fatal error was, or temporarily configure your webserver to echo errors to the browser, or redirect them to a file. A fatal error can be anything: you need to know specifically what the error is to have a chance at fixing it.
