Strange Avatar behaviour?

Hi there,

I noticed a strange behaviour with the avatars:

If I’m logged in, it seems to be that the other users have my own avatar in the topic view?! Take a look: http://www.abload.de/img/1eso3d.jpg

And this, or my, avatar from the user “SOMA” links as well to my own profile, not to his one. But if I go to the users profile (red linked name), everything seems to be fine: http://www.abload.de/img/2mpp9r.jpg

Here’s the php-Code for this section, but what’s wrong with it?

                            sp_ColumnStart(‘tagClass=spUserSection spLeft&width=15%&height=50px’);
                            sp_PostIndexUserName(‘tagClass=spPostUserName’);
                            sp_PostIndexUserRank(‘tagClass=spPostUserRank’);
                            sp_UserAvatar(‘tagClass=spPostUserAvatar’, $spThisPostUser);
                            echo “<br><br><br><br><br>”;

Thanks for your help again …

Regards

you are calling the avatar function wrong… where did you get that call? its not in our themes, at least the two just looked at…

you want:

sp_UserAvatar(‘tagClass=spPostUserAvatar spCenter&context=user’, $spThisPostUser);

the key being ‘context=user’ so you tell it to use the $spThisPostUser object… without that it, uses the current logged in user – you… thus your user avatar…

Maybe it was an issue in an old version, because I built up my theme based on the first version of the Simple:Press 5.0-Theme. Thanks for your code, it works fine and resolved the problem. 🙂
