However, when uploading an avatar the default gravatar feature for bbpress takes over - there's no way to switch gravatars of. I've tried to uncheck the checkbox in my admin panel for gravatars bt everytime I click submit it rechecks itself again. Can anyone help? I've uninstalled this plugin until it works properly. thrca on "Avatar Upload" http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/avatar-upload/page/5/#post-1225 Sat, 10 May 2008 23:05:26 +0000 thrca 1225@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ I had an issue with my host where the uploaded avatars were not getting the proper file permissions.. I added the following to bbpressroot/avatar-upload.php.. <pre><code>// Did we move the image to the avatar folder successfully? if ($img_errs == 0 && !@move_uploaded_file($img_temp, BBPATH . $config->avatar_dir . $user_filename) ) { $img_errs = 11; } // Did we set the permissions on the uploaded file properly? if ($img_errs == 0 && !@chmod($config->avatar_dir . $user_filename, 0644) ) { $img_errs = 13; }</code></pre> and <pre><code>case 12: // custom error code $error_message = __("The thumbnail file could not be saved to the {$config->avatar_dir} folder."); break; case 13: // custom error code $error_message = __("The file permissions could not be set properly."); break;</code></pre> _ck_ on "Avatar Upload" http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/avatar-upload/page/5/#post-1216 Sat, 10 May 2008 02:19:39 +0000 _ck_ 1216@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ I believe there is a a very big bug in function avatarupload_get_avatar In certain cases if the $cached part fails because there is no avatar for the requested user, essentially it then ignores the requested $id and instead just uses whatever the current $user->ID is. So if the current user or user on the profile page is say #3, but you request #7 who happens to have no avatar, it will send you #3 anyway.

I got mine to work. Here is what I forgot: Don't Forget! If you haven't already done so: upload the files in the "additional-files" directory to the following locations. * avatars/ - directory to the location specified on the admin page, rename if neccesary. * avatars/default.png - default avatar image into the directory created above. * avatar-upload.php - bbPress root directory. * my-templates/avatar.php - your my-templates/my-template-name/ (or bb-templates/kakumei/) directory. Read the readme.txt file that came with this plugin for more detailed instructions. (I got all that from the plugin page within bbPress) BloggerDesign on "Avatar Upload" http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/avatar-upload/page/5/#post-1190 Tue, 06 May 2008 15:29:28 +0000 BloggerDesign 1190@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ jeffwong - I'm not sure this plugin is compatible with bbPress 0.9.* yet.

So change it to this in <code>avatar-upload.php</code> in the forum root. <pre><code>// Has user checked the "Use Identicon" option? if( $_POST['identicon'] ) { felapplyidenticon( $user_id ); // create an identicon if (usingidenticon($user_id)) { $force_db = 1; // force download of new avatar from database $success_message = "Your identicon has been made."; } else { $error_message = __("An unknown error has occurred.");} }</code></pre> and it will "magically" work properly... ;-) All this improvements can be seen on <a href="http://bbShowcase.org" rel="nofollow">http://bbShowcase.org</a> if you register and go look at your profile and play with the avatar features. _ck_ on "Avatar Upload" http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/avatar-upload/page/5/#post-1095 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 15:03:58 +0000 _ck_ 1095@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ Adding gravatar download support is much more tricky. And this has not really been cleaned up or tweaked but feel free to play with it. I hacked in an fsockopen routine I was developing for another routine since that works even in safe-mode (unlike fopen/copy url and curl is not available on many servers) In the <code>avatar.php</code> template in your theme add something like this in an appropriate spot: <pre><code><h3><?php _e('Current Gravatar'); ?></h3> <? $grav_url = "http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=".md5($user->user_email)."&amp;default=".urlencode($default); ?> <a style="border:0;text-decoration:none;" target=_blank href="http://www.gravatar.com"><img border=0 hspace=40 src="<?php echo $grav_url; ?>"></a> <form method="POST" action="<?php profile_tab_link($user->ID, 'avatar'); ?>"> <label for="usegravatar"><input type="checkbox" name="gravatar" value="1" id="usegravatar" /> <?php _e('Use your Gravatar instead?'); ?></label> <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Use Gravatar" /> </form></code></pre> and then in <code>avatar-upload.php</code> in the forum root, add all this after the <code>if( $_POST['identicon'] ) { }</code> block part (before <code>load the template</code>): <pre><code>if( $_POST['gravatar'] ) { $user=bb_get_user($user_id); $img=fetch_gravatar($user->user_email); if (!$img['tmp_name'] || !file_exists($img['tmp_name'])) { $error_message = __("An unknown error has occurred."); } else { $current_avatar = avatarupload_get_avatar($user_id, 0, 1); // for comparison later $user_filename = strtolower($user->user_login).".jpg"; if (@copy($img['tmp_name'], BBPATH . $config->avatar_dir . $user_filename)) { // Compare 'new' and 'current' avatar filenames if (!empty($current_avatar[0]) && $user_filename != $current_avatar[0]) { // If different, delete 'current' - this will only occur when // the new and current avatars have different file extensions. @unlink(BBPATH . $config->avatar_dir . $current_avatar[0]); } // Add avatar to database as usermeta data (append unix time to help browser caching probs). $meta_avatar = $user_filename .

This would help somebody with a slow connection/machine to load pages faster. All other users wouldn't be effected. Thanks for the great plugin!

The avatar image is about 20 pixels lower down than the top of the corresponding forum topic box and the words 'RSS feed for this topic' is partially covered by the avatar.

Upload fine, no problem - images are appearing in the folder with the default.png image. Just not appearing anywhere on the forums. Is there something else I need to be doing? Thanks louisedade on "Avatar Upload" http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/avatar-upload/page/5/#post-886 Sat, 01 Mar 2008 11:06:59 +0000 louisedade 886@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ There is an option on the avatar Admin page: <blockquote>Action to take when a user has no avatar present: (*) Use the default avatar image ( ) Use an auto generated identicon</blockquote> Just make sure "use default" is selected. Unfortunately, anybody who already has an identicon will still have it - but you could always delete them directly from the database, or the users could upload their own avatar. I ought to add a "delete avatar" option for the user. elitestyles on "Avatar Upload" http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/avatar-upload/page/5/#post-878 Wed, 27 Feb 2008 10:54:44 +0000 elitestyles 878@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ Thanks for a great plugin! So i've successfully installed it but one thing which i hate is the Identicon image that is generated if clicked on, cant this be switched to the orginal default.png image? It makes more sense? Could someone tell me how i can change the Identicon option in the profile to default.png To begin with if the user signs up to the forum it automatically gives the user the default.png as an avatar. great so it he/she decides to upload their own great go into their profile and do so... but i hate the fact that the Identicon option in the profile generates some horrible looking image, i would prefer that all user without avatars or choosing to use the default would have the deafult.png ok the whole idea of the idenicon is so everyone is different but i hate the way it looks, help? citizenkeith on "Avatar Upload" http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/avatar-upload/page/5/#post-763 Thu, 31 Jan 2008 15:06:14 +0000 citizenkeith 763@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ Thanks for this plugin, and also for updating it. :) I'd love to see a way for users to "turn off" avatars if they so choose.

I'd like to show it outside of bbPress also. Is that possible?</blockquote> I've done it for WP comments with a simple and dirty hack, but it does not work for identicons. The following code is bad, there is a hardcoded path to the bbPress installation and to the <code>avatars/</code> subdirectory, you may need to adapt it. Add the following function to your theme's <code>comment.php</code> and modify it to match your installation: <code><?php function bbpress_avatar_hack () { global $comment; $avatar = get_user_option ('avatar_file', $comment->user_id); if ($comment->user_id && $avatar) { $items = explode ('|', $avatar); $filename = $items[0]; $width = $items[1]; $height = $items[2]; if ($items[3] == 'avatar-upload') { // Change here! // forum is the bbPress installation subdirectory // avatars is the directory of uploaded avatars $apath = get_bloginfo ('url') . "/forum/avatars/$filename"; echo "<img src=\"$apath\" width=\"$width\" height=\"$height\" style=\"float:right;\" />\n"; } } } ?></code> In the next step, you have to modify the main loop of the comments display in <code>comments.php</code> and call the function <code>bbpress_avatar_hack</code> inside the comment's output.
