Global Avatars?

**McBoniosb** · 08-19-2010, 01:37 PM

Hi Folks!

I have been working on a sidebar module which shows the users avatar, their name and profil and logout buttons.

I used:

PHP Code:

 <img src="{$Avatar_ImgSrc}" alt="Avatar"/>

To display the avatar which works great on the user pages, but on the main pages, story pages etc... its a broken link and when I view source I see

PHP Code:

 <img src="" alt="Avatar"/>

Do I have to add/alter something to allow the avatars to be called from anywhere on the site?

Thanks in advance

This should work for you.

Code:

{if $user_authenticated eq true}
<img  src="{$my_base_url}{$my_pligg_base}/avatars/user_uploaded/{$user_logged_in}_30.jpg" alt="Avatar" align="absmiddle" border="0" onerror="this.src='{$my_base_url}{$my_pligg_base}/avatars/Gravatar_30.gif'; this.title='Loading...';"/>
{/if}

awesome stuff, thanks chuck!

I added the code and changed my default avatar in there too, it works for default and user uploaded avatars but I get a default avatar for gravatar too?

What might be worth a mention is I use the gravatar module: Gravatar for Social Web CMS v0.3 for my gravatars...

That is not compatible with Pligg

ok the readme says: Gravatar for Social Web CMS v0.3

but the description says: Gravatar v.0.2

Anyways it works fine with pligg and I have it full operational in the rest of the site.

In the readme the main code is html1.php is:

PHP Code:

 // use the user uploaded avatars ? if(Enable_User_Upload_Avatar == true && $avatarsource == "useruploaded"){ $imgsrc = my_pligg_base . User_Upload_Avatar_Folder . "/" . $user_name . "_" . $imgsize . ".jpg"; return $imgsrc; } elseif(Enable_User_Upload_Avatar == true && $avatarsource == "gravatar"){ $vars = array('userid' => $user_id, 'username' => $user_name, 'imgsize' => $imgsize, 'imgsrc' => ''); check_actions('gravatar', $vars); $imgsrc = $vars['imgsrc']; if($imgsrc != '') { return $imgsrc; } }

It works everwhere except my new module. It works in the online users module too which is present in the sidebar....
