Hi there,

Jomsocial documentation explains about a function to get user´s avatar thumb: getThumbAvatar()

I need to get users especific album id by name ( It is a default name to all users) and then get the path to the thumb
cover of this album.

How could I do that? Does exist a function like getThumbAvatar() that I could use in this solution?

I am customizing a thirdpart jomsocial geolocation plugin to show album covers in bubble in the map.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

to get albums id you need to user user ID, here the example

include_once JPATH_ROOT.'/components/com_community/libraries/core.php';
include_once JPATH_ROOT.'/components/com_community/libraries/messaging.php';

$photoModel = CFactory::getModel( 'photos' );
$albums = $photoModel->getAllAlbums(644);

foreach ($albums as $album) {
    echo $album->id;
}

Hello Albertus,

It worked for me using:

$albums = $photoModel->getAlbums(644);

instead of :

$albums = $photoModel->getAllAlbums(644);

My second question is how can I retrieve cover album thumbnail path? I can see that it is in the resultant array ($albums) but I dont know how to retrieve it because it is inside params.

Thanks in advance

Sorry, clicked as fixed and it is not.

Hi,

here the code

foreach ($albums as $album) {
    echo $album->thumbnail;
}

Hi Albertus,

It worked like a charm!

Thank you!
