How BuddyPress generates Avatar filenames …

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.

  1. $full_filename  = wp_hash( "ORIGINAL-FILENAME" . time() ) . '-bpfull.'  . $FILE_EXTENSION;
  2.  
  3. $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. 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."
