Oops. It seems I have been messing it.

Please keep using your own for now. It does causes double query but is still better than my suggestion.

I will share better code later today.

Hi Diana,
Thank you for the reply.
yes, you are right about it.

We need to maintain the same hierarchy as in the plugin.

PS:- Thank you for the email.

Hi Timothy,
At the moment, we don’t have an API for retrieving the Avatar URL for member type. It is an isolated module.

There is a way to get the avatar url efficiently(there are other option but that does not uses proper caching).

I wrote a custom function that you may use

/**
 * Get avatar associated with a member type.
 *
 * @param string $member_type member type.
 * @param string $thumb_type thumbnail type(thumb|full).
 *
 * @return string
 */
function mtp_custom_get_avatar_url( $member_type, $thumb_type = 'thumb' ) {

	$mtp_object = bpmtp_get_member_type_entry( $member_type );

	if ( ! $mtp_object ) {
		return '';
	}

	$post_id = $mtp_object->post_id;

	if ( ! $post_id ) {
		return '';
	}

	$avatar_url = '';

	switch ( $thumb_type ) {
		case 'thumb':
			$avatar_url = get_post_meta( $post_id, '_bp_member_type_associated_avatar_thumb_url', true );
			break;

		case 'full':
			$avatar_url = get_post_meta( $post_id, '_bp_member_type_associated_avatar_full_url', true );

			break;
	}

	return $avatar_url;
}

Once you have put it in your theme’s functions.php or bp-custom.php in wp-content/plugins. you can use it to get the url of the avatar image.

Hope that helps.

Hi Mic,
Thank you.

I am glad you found that option 🙂

The Content is the actual content shown on the tab page. It is used in case you add a new Tab or add a new sub tab. When you visit that sub tab, the content is shown.

If a plugin allows passing user id in the shortcode, you can use their shortcode to show displayed user specific content on the profile tab.

Hope that clarifies.
