how to show the users avatar on a diffrent page.

[Regashi]

hi i would like to know how to show the users avatar when he loggs in .

please may somebody help me out here.

[Kindred]

you mean on a non-forum page?

load SSI.php and then echo the avatar

<?php
require_once('path/to/SSI.php')

   if (!empty($context['user']['avatar']))
      echo $context['user']['avatar']['image'];
?>

This code doesnt seem to work for me.
It says unexpected IF
Any ideas?

[Kindred]

try this...

<?php
require_once('path/to/SSI.php')

   if (!empty($user_info['avatar']['url']))
      echo $user_info['avatar']['url'];
?>

Still get this error msg...
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF in /home/blah/public_html/index.php on line 32

      echo $user_info['avatar']['url'];
?>

@Kindred: you didnt put the semicolon after the require

also, you need to be sure the path/to/ssi.php is the actual full path
see the ssi_examples.php page on your forum for a refrence

Im not getting any errors on anything but the avatar isn't showing up.
Do i have to specify anything other than the path to SSI?

this is the code taken from my index.template of the theme im using currently, it should give you what you need in the ssi

<?php
require_once('/home/blah/public_html/forums/SSI.php');

if (!empty($context['user']['avatar']))
{
if(empty($settings['top_avatar_resize']))
{
$context['user']['avatar']['image'] = strtr($context['user']['avatar']['image'], array("class=\"avatar\"" => "class=\"avatar_t\""));
}
echo '<div style="padding: 0 10px 0 10px;  float: left;">', $context['user']['avatar']['image'], '<div class="avatar_frame"></div></div>';
?>

[virtualxtc]

Both not working
The first one doesn't error but doesn't display an avatar.
The 2nd one gives me an error.

[Kender]

you may need to global context

require_once......
global $context;
if .....

[Dragooon]

OK I can't find a cleaner way don't know why

<?php
global $ID_MEMBER, $memberContest;
loadMemberData(array($ID_MEMBER));
loadMemberContext($ID_MEMBER);
$member = $memberContext[$ID_MEMBER];
if(!empty($member['avatar']['image']))
  echo $member['avatar']['image'];
?>

Its untested though.

@Kindred: you didnt put the semicolon after the require

'DOH!   yup, I did...   and i just realized something else...

No need for that mess, Dragoon.

?>

@Kindred, that won't work if a user has selected from the server or has uploaded his/her own image.

[Kindred]

you're right... and I was right the first time...
