How BuddyPress generates Avatar filenames …

28. August 2015

Sometimes you want to add your own avatar for a user or build your own special predefined avatar selection :)

WHERE ARE THEY STORED

BuddyPress stores avatars in /wp-content/uploads/avatars/ – USERID – /

HOW ARE THEY STORED

BuddyPress hashes the original filename and stores full and thumbnail images in the above directory.

$full_filename  = wp_hash( "ORIGINAL-FILENAME" . time() ) . '-bpfull.'  . $FILE_EXTENSION;

$thumb_filename = wp_hash( "ORIGINAL-FILENAME" . time() ) . '-bpthumb.' . $FILE_EXTENSION;

$full_filename = wp_hash( "ORIGINAL-FILENAME" . time() ) . '-bpfull.' . $FILE_EXTENSION;

$thumb_filename = wp_hash( "ORIGINAL-FILENAME" . time() ) . '-bpthumb.' . $FILE_EXTENSION;

Now go ahead and build your own integration around that ;)

Enjoy coding …

I am a full-stack developer. My expertise include:

Server, Network and Hosting Environments
Data Modeling / Import / Export
Business Logic
API Layer / Action layer / MVC
User Interfaces
User Experience
Understand what the customer and the business needs

I love programming, design and know my way around server architecture as well. I would never feel complete, with one of these missing.

I have a broad range of interests, that’s why I constantly dive into new technologies and expand my knowledge where ever required. Technologies are evolving fast and I enjoy using the latest.

Apart from that, I am a peace loving guy who tries to have people around him that think the same. I truly believe in the principle: “If you help someone, someone will help you, when you need it."
