Ashley,
We do store the URL to a user's avatar from different social networks as a parameter in the database for each user. Right now, we use that URL only in the admin area for usermap. In general, we recommend using a full-fledged 3rd party profile extension if you want to show avatars in other extensions. However, you could use the parameter we save and put that in your code to show the URL directly from the social network for the user.
I honestly don't know Ohanah well enough to tell you what code to replace. The code below is what you would want to use to check if there is an avatar URL stored for the user in JFBConnect and use it if set:
$userModel = JFBConnectModelUserMap::getUser(123, 'facebook');
$userData = $userModel->getData();
if($userData->params->get('avatar_thumb') != '')
$imageURL = $userData->params->get('avatar_thumb');
else
$imageURL = //get Gravatar image hereThat's completely untested code, but it should work right away (if I didn't get any typos in there). Please make sure you update the 123 with the actual user id that would be coming in from Ohanah for the user. Also, right now, that code only checks for Facebook avatars. It'd be more complex to add checks for other social networks... so lets start there.
If you get that working though, we'd love to hear about it. I can see adding a better "getUserAvatar" function which would find if any network has a URL set for the user and to pull it, but we'll get there in baby steps
Keep us posted, and good luck,
Alex
Possible to display profile images from JFBConnect in another module?
