For members there is yes (see Template Tags online help). But then you are back to using what the forum uses - uploaded avatars or Gravatars.com and I thought the point here was you wanted to use this other avatar source.

all i want is the option for the user to log in ( to either the site or to the forum ) and for that to also log them into the other. Then, when they put a post onto either the site or the forum it will show the same avatar. if I can do this withouth CMD-Avatar and by ONLY using Simple Forum then I would prefer that yes.

I tried using sf_show_members_avatar($userID) but now get an error:
WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1]
SELECT user_email FROM wp_users WHERE ID =

Well like your code above, you only should call it with a valid user ID.
Admittedly it looks like we may not be trapping that but like your line of code before (the one I suggested you change) you need to check that for the user id and only then pass it into the tag function.

I hadn't made any changes to the simple: press forum… that was another user I was quoting. I still have the standard simple:press forum code installed ( which I'm playing with and really like) all I wanted was for these avatars to show on my wp site when a user posted a message there instead of on the forum.

Which is what that template tag will do but your do need to pass it a valid user id.
Something like….
global $current_user;
if($current_user->ID != 0) sf_show_members_avatar($current_user->ID);
Well - it might work…!

Do you know of anyone who has WP and Simple:Press Forum installed and has the same avatars on both WP and SF? I'll check with them and try and complete a walkthrough.
I understand that it is looking for the ID of the person who wrote the post, I just don't know how to tell it who that person was.

Can I just say that I am now 100% confused about exactly what you are trying to do. I thought you were talking about commenters but now you seem to be talking about post authors. if they are logged in they all have a user id.
But yes - the code I just rattled off is for the current user who is logged on to show them their own avatar. So this is not what you want? Any User? comments? What?

I'm sorry, I am obviously not very good at explaining (though I did just do a post in here: http://www.stuff.yellowswordfish.com/support-forum/simple-forum-next-version/feature-request-new-avatar-feature/page-1/post-10072/#p10072 )
Basically. I have a wordpress site which people can sign up to and leave post or comments. I also have Simple:Press Forum installed too which they can comment on.
Now, what i am trying to do is make it so that if a user (any user) posts on my wordpress site, comments on my wordpress site or posts in the forum their Simple:Press Forum avatar will show up.
So I would like the users avatar to display for WP Posts, WP Comments and for Forum Posts/Comments.

if you are inside the loop, the wp function call the_author_ID() will return the current id of the author of the post…

apply to avatar????? dont understand…
where you want the avatar to be displayed for posts use
sf_show_members_avatar(the_author_ID());
and for comments use
sf_show_members_avatar($comment->user_id);
you will need to remove any other avatar stuff or you will get more than one…

<?php sf_show_members_avatar($comment->user_id); ?> this seems to work… I'll try another couple of things to make sure there are no problems then confirm this for you.
|

Well we have now come full circle.
You DO need to check that the current person is a USER with an account.
So:
if($comment->user_id) sf_show_members_avatar($comment->user_id);

<?php sf_show_members_avatar($comment->user_id); ?>
This works for the comments. Perfect. But how would it be scripted for the posts on the main page?

you know, we need to spruce up that tag routine… it should handle the case for an invalid user id… in fact, if its not a user, to be consistent with the forum, shouldnt it display the default guest avatar?
I will open a trac ticket and we can discuss it there…

I was just about to open a ticket. I have one or two others as well but the server has been down…

At the moment (on the comments) if the user has no profile (is a guest) it doesn't display anything. A default 'Guest' avatar would be cool. I also cannot work out what the tag would be to put on the main posts.

look back, I posted it…
sf_show_members_avatar(the_author_ID());
It must be inside the loop, but I suspect thats where you are…

yes… no need to do the check on this one like Andy showed on the comments, because a post has to have a user id for the poster…

I have just sent you a replacement tags file to try with instructions.

Ok, changed the sf-tags.php over and changed the <?php sf_show_forum_avatar($comment->comment_author_email); ?> etc and everything seems to be working perfectly now. I'll keep an eye on it and let you know if I come across any problems at any point but I would recommend rolling this out with the next update as I think you would be the first guys to do it.

Glad to hear it's working for you. It's already in the source code for the next update.
