Showing Avatars

Sherry Collins asked on June 29, 2015 18:20

I have a sidebar on one of my Blog pages. One of the sections of the side bar is latest comments where we are showing the latest 5 comments for all the Blogs. One of the requirements is to show the Avatar of the person making the comment. I used this transformation:

<a href="<%# GetUserProfileURL(CurrentUser.UserName) %>"><img src="<%# GetUserAvatarImageUrl(CurrentUser.UserAvatarID, CurrentUser.UserID, 20, 20, 20) %>"

This does not work quite right because it returns the Avatar of the current user, not the necessarily the user to made the comment. What I need is for it to evaluate the CommentUserName so that it gets the correct Avatar for whoever posted the comment.

For example. I am the current user and I make a comment, but the next 4 comments were created by someone else. My Avatar should appear next to the top comment and the other 4 comments should have the avatars of whoever created them.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

You can use the Blogs Comments Viewer webpart. In your transformation for the blog comments, you need to make sure you are pull the CommentUserName field for the image.

<%# GetUserAvatarImage(50, HTMLEncode(GetNotEmpty("CommentUserName"))) %>

You can find some more Avatar functions here:
