JomSocial Integration

[LiShaoran]

Excellent plugin, great work. Could you explain which lines are responsible for calling the avatar profile in JomSocial and would like to integrate DAvatar in another component for example?

Thanks, keep the good work

[Darkick]

It's hard to show only JomSocial part of the plugin code, because the plugin not simple and very complex.
But it's very easy to use it in different extensions. All my extensions from the site uses DAvatar plugin.
Simplest example you can find in the JComments DAvatar plugin.

If you have installed and configured DAvatar plugin you can use such code in your extensions:

Code: Select all

JPluginHelper::importPlugin('content', 'davatar');
$dispatcher = &JDispatcher::getInstance();
...
$user_id = _here_you_get_any_user_id_;
...
$davatar = '{davatar id='.$user_id.'}';  // prepare plugin string
$dispatcher->trigger('onPrepareContentAvatars', array(&$davatar));  // call plugin handler
echo $davatar; // now in  $davatar  variable avatar image with profile link are situated

OMG worked perfectly, thank you! But I am still having a problem: I can't set my $user_id automatically, if I put manually works, but the idea is that it calls ID alone.

Thanks again!!

[Darkick]

Do you mean user id of the current user? Try this:

Code: Select all

...
$user = &JFactory::getUser();
$user_id = $user->id;
...

Thanks again Darkick, but what I want is the ID of the author of the article writing. The way you explained captures the User ID that is logged at the time, instead of showing the avatar of the author of the article.

Thanks for the help.

Where do you want to show avatar? In the standard Joomla article? The plugin can show authors of articles — you can find parameters. Also you can insert in any place of an article text

Code: Select all

{davatar}

to show avatar of the author of the article in this place.

In SuperBlogger Plugin of JoomlaWorks

The original lines are:

Code: Select all

// Author email & avatar
         if($articleAuthorAvatar || $articleAuthorLatest){
            $queryAuthor = 'SELECT id,email FROM `#__users` WHERE name="'.$row->author.'" LIMIT 1';
            $db->setQuery( $queryAuthor );
            $queryAuthor = $db->loadObjectList();
            
            $output->authorEmail = $queryAuthor[0]->email;
            
            $avatarDefault = SuperBlogger::getTemplatePath($plg_name,'images/avatar.png');
            $avatarDefault = $avatarDefault->http;
            $avatarSize = 80;      
            $output->authorAvatarURL = "http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=".md5(strtolower($output->authorEmail))."&default=".urlencode($avatarDefault)."&size=".$avatarSize;
         }


With your help i got this:

Code: Select all

// Author email & avatar
         if($articleAuthorAvatar || $articleAuthorLatest){
            $queryAuthor = 'SELECT id,email FROM `#__users` WHERE name="'.$row->author.'" LIMIT 1';
            $db->setQuery( $queryAuthor );
            $queryAuthor = $db->loadObjectList();         
            $output->authorEmail = $queryAuthor[0]->email;
            $avatarSize = 80; 
            
            JPluginHelper::importPlugin('content', 'davatar');
                                $dispatcher = &JDispatcher::getInstance();
            $user = &JFactory::getUser();
                                $user_id = $user->id;
                                $davatar = '{davatar id='.$user_id.'}';
                                $dispatcher->trigger('onPrepareContentAvatars', array(&$davatar));   
            $output->authorAvatarURL = $davatar;
         }


But the ID to be displayed is the author of the article instead of user who is logged at the time.

[Darkick]

Try to use this code:

Code: Select all

    // Author email & avatar
             if($articleAuthorAvatar || $articleAuthorLatest){
                JPluginHelper::importPlugin('content', 'davatar');
                $dispatcher = &JDispatcher::getInstance();
                $davatar = '{davatar name='.$row->author.'}';
                $dispatcher->trigger('onPrepareContentAvatars', array(&$davatar));   
                $output->authorAvatarURL = $davatar;
             } 

In this case we don't need to know user ID, because we know user name — $row->author. We can use it.

Thank you!! I can't believe it worked, I spent several days trying to make it work and could not. I would not have done it without your great help and your awesome plugin.
How could I thank you?

[Darkick]

Hi Darkick,

I am using your plugin, which is great, with the jomsocial hack shown here but my formatting is a bit off.

you can see an example here:

Any help would be great

Thanks

[Darkick]

Yeah. Looks strange.
Post complex info here: screenshot of the plugin settings, used code, etc.

[dimelotodo]

Damn Thanks for the fast reply!!

Here is the code used in superblogger.php

Code: Select all

   // Author email & avatar
      }
         if($articleAuthorAvatar || $articleAuthorLatest){
                JPluginHelper::importPlugin('content', 'davatar');
                $dispatcher = &JDispatcher::getInstance();
                $davatar = '{davatar name='.$row->author.'}';
                $dispatcher->trigger('onPrepareContentAvatars', array(&$davatar));   
                $output->authorAvatarURL = $davatar;
           
         
         if($articleAuthorAvatar || $articleAuthorLatest){
            $queryAuthor = 'SELECT id,email FROM `#__users` WHERE name="'.$row->author.'" LIMIT 1';
            $db->setQuery( $queryAuthor );
            $queryAuthor = $db->loadObjectList();
            
            
            $output->authorEmail = $queryAuthor[0]->email;
            
            /*$avatarDefault = SuperBlogger::getTemplatePath($plg_name,'images/avatar.png')->http;
            $avatarSize = 80;   
                                       
            $output->authorAvatarURL = "http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=".md5(strtolower($output->authorEmail))."&default=".urlencode($avatarDefault)."&size=".$avatarSize;*/
         }
         

and here are settings for both plugins:

screencap_superblogger_plg.tiff (179.79 KiB) Viewed 684 times

[Darkick]

Why did you used both part of code: mine and original?
You need only this part:

Code: Select all

       // Author email & avatar
             if($articleAuthorAvatar || $articleAuthorLatest){
                    JPluginHelper::importPlugin('content', 'davatar');
                    $dispatcher = &JDispatcher::getInstance();
                    $davatar = '{davatar name='.$row->author.'}';
                    $dispatcher->trigger('onPrepareContentAvatars', array(&$davatar));   
                    $output->authorAvatarURL = $davatar; 

to get avatar.
