Yes I got it now G6, it shows the avatar great, but not member name like in first code.

Fel Code:

Code Select Expand


global $context, $modSettings, $scripturl, $db_prefix;

$id = $context['common_stats']['latest_member']['id'];
$request = db_query("SELECT m.realName, m.avatar, a.ID_ATTACH
FROM {$db_prefix}members AS m
LEFT JOIN {$db_prefix}attachments AS a ON (m.ID_MEMBER = a.ID_MEMBER)
WHERE m.ID_MEMBER = $id", __FILE__, __LINE__);
if (mysql_num_rows($request) > 0)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($request);

if(!empty($row['ID_ATTACH']))
$ava_url = $scripturl . '?action=dlattach;attach='. $row['ID_ATTACH'] .';type=avatar';
elseif(!empty($row['avatar']))
{
if(stristr($row['avatar'], 'http://') === FALSE)
$ava_url = $modSettings['avatar_url'] .'/'. $row['avatar'];
else
$ava_url = $row['avatar'];
}
mysql_free_result($request);
if(isset($ava_url))
echo '<img src="'. $ava_url .'" alt="" border="0" />';
}

As you do in the code I posted. It's SMF's own logic (calling their built-in function) for getting selected, user uploaded or remote avatars along with all the other information on a user.

As you do in the code I posted. It's SMF's own logic (calling their built-in function) for getting selected, user uploaded or remote avatars along with all the other information on a user.

Or you can let the SMF code get everything for you:

Code Select Expand

global $memberContext;
loadMemberContext($user_id);
echo $memberContext[$user_id]['avatar']['image'];

The loadMemberContext function comes back (the $memberContext array) with virtually EVERYTHING about a member (look in Sources/Load.php).

Is this the code you are talking about Jacortina?  I just use that code in a block and nothing else?

[jacortina]

I'm saying that the code is enough to get the avatar available into that array. Many other values for the user are also in that array.

But try this:

Code Select Expand

global $memberContext;
$user_id = $context['common_stats']['latest_member']['id'];
loadMemberContext($user_id);
if (!empty($memberContext[$user_id]['avatar']['image']))
echo '<div align="center">'.$memberContext[$user_id]['avatar']['image'].'<BR>'.$context['common_stats']['latest_member']['link'].'</div>';
else
echo '<div align="center">( No Avatar Yet )<BR><BR>'.$context['common_stats']['latest_member']['link'].'</div>';


This should include the text '( No Avatar Yet )' if none is specified.

[rebelrose]

ok, I tried that and it shows the newest member and it says no avatar yet.

I am sorry, I just do not understand code well yet.

[jacortina]

Are you sure the latest member has specified an avatar in their profile?

[rebelrose]

Yes he has uploaded one,
