Is there a way to display the Avatar on the logged in user on a page and not the Author of the entry? I didn’t see a tag for this in the documentation. Ie an avatar tag similar to {username}, {screenname}, etc. I didn’t come up with anything on a search either.

I don’t have the full solution for you..

but here’s a clue.

$query = $DB->query("SELECT avatar_filename, avatar_width, avatar_height FROM exp_members WHERE member_id = '".$SESS->userdata('member_id')."'");

Thanks. That got me started, but I am not having much luck.

Maybe I am going about it wrong. Maybe I need to learn more SQL..lol

I just tested this to work:

<?php

global $SESS;

$member_id = $SESS->userdata['member_id'];

?>

{exp:query sql="SELECT avatar_filename, avatar_width, avatar_height FROM exp_members WHERE member_id = <?php echo $member_id; ?>"}

{avatar_filename} - {avatar_width} - {avatar_height}

{/exp:query}

Danke!
I was going about it wrong. I was trying to do the whole thing in PHP. I had completely forgotten about the exp:query tag!..
Anyway, for the archives - usage:

<?php
global $SESS;
$member_id = $SESS->userdata['member_id'];
?>

{exp:query sql="SELECT avatar_filename, avatar_width, avatar_height FROM exp_members WHERE member_id = <?php echo $member_id; ?>"}
<img src="http://www.streetdoc.net/images/avatars/{avatar_filename}" width="{avatar_width}" height="{avatar_height}">
{/exp:query} 

A little something for the Wiki maybe??

Thanks for the info. This just started happening and I don’t know why after my upgrade to 1.3.

Because of this, perhaps?

No it is not related to that. Its a EE internal error with page not found. If I remove the last segment (the number) the template displays fine.

FYI, the issue is a confirmed bug with the Forum extensions I was using.
Lisa Jill the permalink now works and I updated the code to include a “default” avatar for users without an avatar.

As per my PM, I hope you’ll take a moment to update the wiki page so it has the full code and link to your instructions. =)
