Hi,

I not that good at php so I was wondering if some wouldn’t mind shortening this bit of code:

<?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" />'); ?>

Basically it is supposed to go through every file extension allowed by the avatar plugin and display the image with the actual extension, there can be only one.

It is used to display Avatars in WordPress by the way without loading bbPress.

Any help would be great!

You don’t need to use all the php tags and how do you test if the image exists?

[@nightgunner5 Member 15 years, 3 months ago]

<?php echo('<img src="/forums/avatars/' . basename( current( glob( BB_PATH . 'avatars/' . $current_user->user_login . '.*' ) ) ) . '" />'); ?> (Untested, but it should work.)

NightGunner5: I’ll test that when I get a chance, thanks!

FinalWebsites: The plugin calls the image a certain name. If the user is “admin” the admin’s avatar will be “avatar.jpg” but could also be “avatar.gif” etc. This code hopefully will reduce the code.

Thanks again!

@Nightgunner5,

so you can use a wildcard here?

glob( BB_PATH . 'avatars/' . $current_user->user_login . '.*' )

after 6 years of php programming I found this function, thanks
