But what you have done will mess up some of the plug-in's functionality. For example you have hard-coded "identicon" as the default, if a user copied your code but had set Monster ID as the default they would be confused by the results. Just wanted to point that out so I don't get lots of queries...</p> <p>Maybe you could have uploaded the user details direct to MySQL? This would have saved the coding and protected you for future updates to the plug-in. Just a thought. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/284026#post-1124074 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 19:29:19 +0000 sargespam 1124074@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I have 368 fixed users on the site. The coding was easier than setting one profile at a time. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/284026#post-1120613 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 19:21:40 +0000 peterwsterling 1120613@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>You don't need this code for the scenario you describe.</p> <p>Save yourself the coding and just set each of your fixed number of users local avatar (on the Users &gt;&gt; Avatars page) to the file you've put "defaultavatars" for that user. Done. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/284026#post-1116781 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 22:06:48 +0000 sargespam 1116781@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I have a blog with a fixed number of users and wanted to force avatars for all users even if they did not have a local or global one (using plugin <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-local-avatar)" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-local-avatar)</a>. I post the code below for anyone who wants to do the same.<br /> 1. Make a folder defaultavatars in your uploads folder. If you do not follow the default wordpress directory structure, you will have to make appropriate changes to the code.<br /> 2. In the folder created above, upload default avatars for any or all the users using names that follow loginname.png (eg. admin.png, user1.png, ralf.png ...).<br /> 3. copy and paste the following code in avatars.php just before the closing } of if(!$src).</p> <pre><code>if($id) { $user_info = get_userdata($id); $loginname = $user_info-&gt;user_login ; $src2 = &#39;http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/&#39;; $src2 .= md5(strtolower($email)); $src2 .= &#39;?d=identicon&amp;r=any&amp;s=&#39; . $size; $headers = wp_get_http_headers($src2); // Check the headers if (!is_array($headers)) : $has_valid_avatar = FALSE; elseif (isset($headers[&quot;content-disposition&quot;]) ) : $has_valid_avatar = TRUE; else : $has_valid_avatar = FALSE; endif; $DefaultAvatar = &#39;wp-content/uploads/defaultavatars/&#39;.$loginname.&#39;.png&#39;; if (!$has_valid_avatar &amp;&amp; file_exists($DefaultAvatar)){ $src=&#39;/&#39;.$DefaultAvatar ; } }</code></pre> <p>FYI- I am not a programmer and the code above may not be the best, but it works for me. I provide it here in the hope it may help someone. </p>
