    Hello, sorry, I asked already my question in the comments of the page about custom avatars by type, but I think perhaps it’s better to ask it on the forum.

    BP Member type (free) installed.

    3 members types created (classique, premium, jeune-pro).
    I wish to display different default avatar by type when I display the list of members from a group.

    I try to add code into bp-custom.php but it didn’t work.

    So, I added at the bottom of functions.php :

    
    //Customiser avatars buddypress
       add_filter( 'bp_core_fetch_avatar_no_grav', '__return_true' );
    function buddydev_set_default_use_avatar_based_on_member_type( $avatar, $params) {
        $user_id = $params['item_id'];
     
        $type = bp_get_member_type( $user_id );
     
        if ( $type == 'premium' ) {
            $avatar = 'http://example.com/avatar-premium.png';// get_template_directory_uri() . '/assets/images/avatar-premium.png';
        } elseif( $type =='classique' ) {
            $avatar = 'http://example.com/female.png';//get_template_directory_uri() . '/assets/images/avatar-premium.png';
            } elseif( $type =='jeunepro' ) {
            $avatar = 'http://example.com/avatar-jeunepro.png';//get_template_directory_uri() . '/assets/images/avatar-jeunepro.png';
        } else {
            $avatar = 'http://example.com/unknown.png';//get_template_directory_uri() . '/assets/images/unknown.png';;
        }
     
        return $avatar;
    }
    
    

    I tried also with adding this (found in an other post)

    add_filter( 'bp_core_default_avatar_user', 'buddydev_set_default_use_avatar_based_on_member_type', 10, 2 );
    

    But nothing changes. The src is always :
    src=”http://mysite.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/images/mystery-man-50.jpg”

    What is wrong ?

    Thanks a lot for your help !!

    regards

    Hi CDS,
    You have done it correctly by adding

    
    add_filter( 'bp_core_default_avatar_user', 'buddydev_set_default_use_avatar_based_on_member_type', 10, 2 );
    

    That line is required.

    I am hoping that example.com is replaced with the correct url path.

    Also, I will suggest that you should try changing a user’s member type and see if it has any effect on the avatar. Your code seems fine to me.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Hi Brajesh,
    Thanks for your reply !
    Thus the add_filter is at the good place in the code ?
    Yes, I replaced the url.
    The exact code I added in functions.php is :

    ‘// Desactiver avatar buddy
    add_filter( ‘bp_core_fetch_avatar_no_grav’, ‘__return_true’ );
    //Customiser avatars buddypress

    function buddydev_set_default_use_avatar_based_on_member_type( $avatar, $params) {
    $user_id = $params[‘item_id’];

    $type = bp_get_member_type( $user_id );

    if ( $type == ‘premium’ ) {
    $avatar = get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/assets/images/avatar-premium.png’;
    } elseif( $type ==’classique’ ) {
    $avatar = get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/assets/images/avatar-classique.png’;
    } elseif( $type ==’jeune-pro’ ) {
    $avatar = get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/assets/images/avatar-jeunepro.png’;
    } else {
    $avatar = ‘http://example.com/unknown.png’;//get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/assets/images/unknown.png’;;
    }

    return $avatar;
    }
    add_filter( โ€˜bp_core_default_avatar_userโ€™, โ€˜buddydev_set_default_use_avatar_based_on_member_typeโ€™, 10, 2 );’

    But the default avatar isn’t desactivated ๐Ÿ™ it’s always the stupid myster man ๐Ÿ™‚

    What is it missing ? Perhaps an endif ? I don’t know, I’m not a very good php dev ๐Ÿ™‚
    I tried also by changing the default avatar in Settings -> Discussion.
    I tried by changing a member of type.
    No change …

    If you have an idea …

    thanks a lot !!!

    Hi CDS,
    I have tested it and the code from the first post is working properly for me.

    Please make sure you are using the member type name from this box

    Hi Brajesh, thanks for your reply. I created member types with the plugin BP Member types. Is it correct ?
    I created 3 types : classique, jeune-pro and premium.
    I’m a little lost. I don’t understand why it doesn’t work.

    Hello Brajesh, I’m sorry I come again with my problem ๐Ÿ™ I get the really path to the image, I use correctly the name of the member type as on your screen, but it’s always the path to the buddypress default image. I created the member types with the free version of BuddyPress Member Types Generator. I tried to get the code in bp-custom.php but a blank page happened. I’m not sure I did that correctly. Is it necessary to put this file directly in the plugin directory or in the buddypress directory ?
    Is it neccessary to add anything before the code ?
    Please, what can I try ?

    Thanks a lot for your patience

    Best regards

    Hi CDS,
    I am sorry about this.

    Are you using a custom theme? Is your theme overriding the default avatar in any way?

    Hi Brajesh, you’re very kind ! You gave me a way to search !
    The theme is Kleo wich has settings for Buddypress but nothing about avatar, only about the ‘Profile & Group Icons style’.
    There is a buddypress directory in the plugins repertory. But there is also an buddypress directory in themes > Kleo. So I looked into members.php in this directory. The code seems to be similar that I can see with the Insepctor :
    ‘ <li class=”kleo-masonry-item”>
    <div class=”member-inner-list animated animate-when-almost-visible bottom-to-top”>
    <div class=”item-avatar rounded”>
    “>
    <?php bp_group_member_avatar_thumb(); ?>

    <?php do_action(‘bp_member_online_status’, bp_get_member_user_id()); ?>
    </div>’

    I tried to put the bp-custom.php in the kleio directory but nothing change.

    What do you think about that ? I suppose that the bp_group_member_avatar_thumb is defined in functions.php ?
    I’ll look at this but if you have an idea …
    I think the goal is not more so fare ๐Ÿ˜‰ (sorry, I’m french I don’t know if it’s correct !)

    Best regards !
