How to get User Avatar
By rjcalifornia
Hi!
I am trying to pull the user avatar to display it on a plugin.
This code used to work on elgg 1.8.1 and 1.8.2 but no longer in elgg 1.8.3
$_SESSION['user']->getIcon('large');
What's the correct way to pull it in elgg 1.8.x?

You must log in to post replies.Hello... you have to use: img src="<?php echo $_SESSION['user']->getIconURL('large'); ?>

WRONG! Do not use $_SESSION!
Use Elgg API:
To get a view:
elgg_view_entity_icon($user, 'large', array('class' => $class)) // you can add other $vars to the array
To get a URL:
$user->getIconURL('large');
Thats more acurated Ismayil Khayredinov
