   Hello,

   does anyone know how to show the gravatars of the Latest and Original poster on the front page, if so what/where would be the parameters for there dimensions of the image.

   I just need to show a 50x50 gravatar of the latest poster on the front page next to the username of the latest poster in the "Latest Poster" column of each topic.

   AND

   A 50x50 gravatar of the original poster and the username of the original poster right next to the link of the topic, on each row.

   Note: http://emptees.com/talk - has a similar thing to what i need, they have the author post avatar on there front page.

   Thanks for any help

   I would say yes it's possible. If you have the id of the latest poster, you should be able to get their gravatar. Same with the original poster. I have no idea how to do it, but it sounds possible.

   Of course you can do it, bbPress can do almost anything - as long as you code it ;-)

   Showing the gravatar is the easy part, the code to fetch the latest poster and their email address is the tricky part. How's your mysql?

   Showing a gravatar for any email address is as simple as:
   

   <img src="<?php echo "http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=".md5($user->user_email); ?>" >

   The mysql code for the email of the last poster is going to need a left join of the users table against the post table and more than I am willing to do right now. I suppose I could be lazy and use get_latest_posts(1, 1) to fetch the entire info the last post and grab the email address from there.

   Ok guys, im loving this bbPress more and more. I hacked the bbPress_Latest_Discussion plugin to get them showing up WITH THE GRAVATARS on my wordpress frontpage.

   If anyone needs this email me, ill tell you how i did it, its a bit too long to post it here.

   Long or short, still you should write about it here so:
   1. People won't spam your mailbox;
   2. People won't post another topics like this thing will be here ;).

   I could use something like this for my new project.
