Also, one more quick question.  I’ve looked in the documentation but could find the answer to this.  If there are certain topics that I’d like to archive (hide from public display) but not delete, is that possible?

Thanks,

Derek

If you want to do that you could create a private forum accessible by only the people you allow. Then you could move the topic to that forum.

you can choose to use buddypress profile on forum – profiles – profile options…  keep in mind though, that they wont have access to sp options…

does buddypress replace wp avatars?  I seem to remember so… if that is the case, you can tell sp to use the wp avatars on forum – profiles – avatars…  just make wp avatars the highest priority…

Smart idea – thanks!

I’ve tried placing WP-Avatars as the highest priority,but still just see the default avatar image. Any other ideas for possible work arounds?

Thanks! Derek

well that option was dependent on whether buddypress avatars were subsequently used in wp… does not sound like that is the case…

also, if you changed the priorities, make sure that you dont have the replace wp avatars with sp avatars also selected…

so if that doesnt work, then your only option would be to use the filter on our avatar api and replace it with the buddy press avatar assuming it has an api for getting/returning the avatar…

OK – thanks so much!

Hi –

Sorry for my delay on replying to this – got sidetracked from this fix. It didn’t unfortunately work. I’d like to try the hook if possible, can you share that with me? Otherwise I will just have to have users upload their avatar twice, once in SimplePress and once in BP.

Thanks again! Derek

are you replying via email?  you seem to be forgetting to strip out some stuff your client is sticking in there…

as to the filter…  its ‘sph_Avatar’ without the quotes… 

I assume you know how to use standard wp filters?  if not, come on back and give more guidance…

not that filter will return an avatar object…  you will want to replace:

$avatar->url

with the img src of the avatar you want to use…
