RE:APIs to obtain GetMemberProfileUrl and Avatagr Image in cs files

Hi,

The MemberProfileUrl can be obtained in transformations using method

GetMemberProfileUrl(object memberNameObj, string siteName)

or directly using ModuleCommands construction:

URLHelper.ResolveUrl(CMSContext.GetUrl(ModuleCommands.CommunityGetMemberProfilePath(memberName, siteName)))

The AvatarImage can be obtained in the transformation method

public string GetUserAvatarImageForUser(object userID, int maxSideSize, int width, int height, object alt)

which returns avatar image tag and if avatar is not defined returns gender depend avatar or user default avatar if is defined.

If you would specify where exactly do you want to obtain those URLs, we could find the most suitable method.

Regards,
Zdenek

Hello,
I need some method for Kentico 6 to get default avatar, if specified user does not have one. GetUserAvatarImageForUser seems to work good, but I don't use transformation in my particular case. And AvatarInfoProvider.GetAvatarInfo returns just null for user who don't have avatar.

In your code you can check if the avatar info is null or not. If it is null you can return some other image instead. Wouldnt this approach work? Kind regards, Richard Sustek

Hi,

I dont think there is somehing better then this approach. You are simply requesting an avatar info and if the info is not there you want to do some custom action - get some custom image. You can see that this would not be wanted in many of the cases as sometimes you dont want to get the default image.

You could also define some your own method which would return Avatar image if there is one or default image if there is not.

Kind regards,
