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?

I believe the plugin page for Avatar Upload has a few suggestions as to how to use it in WordPress.

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)
