How to Setup Default Gender Avatars ( Or Based on a Field )

[Laura]

Hello, this will allow you to have a Default avatar for Female and one for Male, for now works only if you have 2 Genders in I am a field. Please Follow these instructions in order to customize the code.

Code:

COPY CODE

add_filter( 'bp_core_fetch_avatar_no_grav', '__return_true' );
	function myavatar_add_default_avatar( $url )
	{
		global $bp;
		$gender = xprofile_get_field_data('I am a', bp_get_member_user_id());
		if ($gender == "Male") {
			return $img_url = SECU.'MALE AVATAR URL OF IMAGE';
		}
		else {
			return $img_url = SECU.'FEMALE AVATAR URL OF IMAGE';
		}
	}
	add_filter( 'bp_core_mysteryman_src', 'myavatar_add_default_avatar' );
	add_filter( 'bp_core_default_avatar_user', 'myavatar_add_default_avatar' );

How to Customize the code
As you can see, the code its fetching the field I am a, so maybe you have translated this field, so it wont work.
Just edit “I am a” With the Field Name of Gender Selection.

Also, change Man for your Gender / Options. Only 2 Are possible for now.

If you prefer not to use this for Gender, and prefer maybe for Students, Teachers or any other topic, just change the names and the field and it will work.

Where to change the field:
IN ->

COPY CODE

 $gender = xprofile_get_field_data('I am a', bp_get_member_user_id()); 

Change ONLY I am a for the name of your Field

Where to change the Gender / Values:
IN ->

COPY CODE

if ($gender == "Male") {
			return $img_url = SECU.'MALE AVATAR URL OF IMAGE';
		}
		else {
			return $img_url = SECU.'FEMALE AVATAR URL OF IMAGE';
		}

Change Male for ONE of the two Options, automatically the other option will get the SECOND image

Make Sure to add the url of your images where “MALE AVATAR URL OF IMAGE” and “FEMALE AVATAR URL OF IMAGE” appears.

Hi Laura,
Was very interested in the above, reference default avatar for Female/Male. So experimented with it! Have a few questions?

1. Where is the code supposed to be inserted? Function.php or bp_function.php etc. ?
2. I keep getting a parse error on the 3rd line of code!
function myavatar_add_default_avatar( $url ) {

So, any information on the above would be a great help. Thank you.

Hola Laura. Quiero aplicar este tutorial, pero no quiero cambiar ‘I am a’ por ‘Gender’.
Quiero mantener las opciones: ‘I am a’ => ‘Man’ , ‘Woman’. Entonces, cómo puedo usar este código para cambiar la imagen si un usuario es Hombre o Mujer?

[Laura]

Hola, no tienes que cambiar nada por genero, funciona con cualquier tipo de nombre. Si lo dejas tal y como esta funciona, solo que tendrias que cambiarlo a español
