Avatar without Gravatar

How To
1

Hi,

What do you recommend me if you don’t want to use WordPress’ own avatars via Gravatar, how I can best implement this using icon or image elements with Bricks Builder, if I don’t want to use any other plugins for this, but via an ACF field in the user profile.

Is it already planned to offer a user avatar element where you can set an icon and select the user profile field?

Kind regards

I wrote the following 2 snippets, so far they work quite well.

Does anyone have any suggestions for improvement?

This snippet filters the corresponding image from the ACF field of the logged-in user profile and transfers it as a thumbnail with HTML code or the selected icon if no profile image is stored.

<?php
function eh_cupb(){
    if(is_user_logged_in()){
        $user_id = get_current_user_id();
        $display_name = wp_get_current_user()->display_name;
        if(!empty($user_id)){
            $profilbild = get_field('profilbild', 'user_' . $user_id);
            return '<img src="' . $profilbild['sizes']['thumbnail'] . '" class="eh_profilbild" alt="' . $display_name . '" title="' . $display_name . '">';
        }
    }else{
        return '<i class="fas fa-user" style="font-size: 38px;"></i>';
    }
}

add_filter('hook', 'eh_cupb');

The following snippet packs the transferred image or icon into the corresponding link to the dashboard or login page.

<?php
function eh_cupbl(){
    if(is_user_logged_in()){
        $user_id = get_current_user_id();
        if(!empty($user_id)){
            $profilbild = get_field('profilbild', 'user_' . $user_id);
            return '<a href="/dashboard/" title="Dashboard">' . eh_cupb() . '</a>';
        }
    }else{
        return '<a href="/login/" title="Login">' . eh_cupb() . '</a>';
    }
}

add_filter('hook', 'eh_cupbl');

So I only needed to insert the following code into the code element and the placement works.

<?php

echo eh_cupbl();

?>

I would be happy if, in the future, authorizations could also be added for individual elements or at least for containers, and if images, a fallback image for dynamic content, and changing links could also be included, so that something like this could also be built with elements.

Kind regards
