Avatar Upload in WordPress
-
Hi,
I was wondering how I could display the bbPress plugin, Avatar Upload, in WordPress. Software: bbPress 1.0.1, WordPress 2.8.1
I am using bbPress as the profile’s home so to speak since I’d rather not use WordPress’ Dashboard and want to display the avatar of the user on the home page.
I have done deep integration both ways by using this snippet of code in [wp/bb]-config.php
if ( !defined( ‘ABSPATH’ ) ) {
include_once( ‘/home/path/to/forums/[bb/wp]-load.php’ );
}
Then pasted this bit of code where I want the avatar.
<?php avatarupload_get_avatar(ID); ?>
However, as I expected it doesn’t work with the error
Fatal error: Call to undefined function avatarupload_display() in blah3 on line x
I tried adding <?php bb-head ?> and <?php if ( bb_is_profile() ) profile_menu(); ?> to the header but both result in an error
I am no programmer but I don’t think bbPress is being load correctly. Can anyone offer a solution or some advice?

Hey thanks _ck_
I found this snippet of code
<?php global $user_identity;
get_currentuserinfo();
if ($user_identity == ”) {
echo(‘Welcome Guest’);
} else {
echo(‘<img src=”/forum/avatars/’ . strtolower($user_identity) . ‘” alt=”avatar” />’);
}
?>
Which doesn’t cause an error but doesn’t display an image. I don’t think a file type is being declared which results in a 404 and then the alt text is displayed.
I did however come up with this, which is a modded version (to be used on a homepage)
<?php echo(‘<img src=”/forums/avatars/’ . $current_user->user_login . ‘.jpg” />’); ?>
<?php echo(‘<img src=”/forums/avatars/’ . $current_user->user_login . ‘.png” />’); ?>
<?php echo(‘<img src=”/forums/avatars/’ . $current_user->user_login . ‘.gif” />’); ?>
<?php echo(‘<img src=”/forums/avatars/’ . $current_user->user_login . ‘.jpeg” />’); ?>
I’m not sure how to find out the file extension via php so I just created 3 extra lines of code for the 4 types of files the form should accept.
If anyone wants to clean up my code I’d greatly appreciate it, I’m only just learning php (noob
) after playing with CSS and (x)HTML for a while. I know, the code will not be valid.Thanks again, _ck_ ( I didn’t realize there was 2 help forums for that plugin)
