SSI Avatar Integration

[Oathkeeper]

I'm sure someone has already asked this but I've yet to find a solution.

Here is the website in question: http://obsidianvector.com/rebirth/staff.php [nofollow]

I'm trying to call the avatars of those specific staff members any way I can without causing too much lag (I've heard many ways can cause alot of queries, which I really don't want unless it's necessary).

So yea, I'm wanting to replace the stock images below the staff members names with a link to their avatar, and when they change it I want it to automatically change to accommodate.

SMF2 already provides a way to grab all the information for a user that you should need, including the avatar. You can use the ssi_fetchMember() funtion to get this. All you should have to do is provide the list of member ID's that you need to grab the info for. Something like this:

Code Select Expand

$members = array(1,5,7);

ssi_fetchMember($members);

If you need to custom format the output you'll have to do something like this:

Code Select Expand

$membersID = array(1,5,7);

$members = ssi_fetchMember($membersID, 'array');

//echo '<pre>', print_r($members),'</pre>';

foreach($members as $user) {
    // Customize output here
    echo '<h3>' , $user['username'] , '</h3>
    <p>' , $user['avatar']['image'] , '</p>';

}

If you want more information from the user just uncomment the //echo '<pre>', print_r($members),'</pre>'; line that I commented out. It will show you what is available from the user. Hope that helps.
