 * I’m trying to integrate the user image plugin with a wordpress site, i’ve added
   the code (see below) but it’s not doing what I want it to do, any ideas how I
   can fix this?
 * `style="background:url(<?php userphoto_the_author_photo() ?>)">`
 * Rather than returning the image it’s returning the following:
 * `)">`
 * Cheers.

 * That won’t work because the function returns a complete set of HTML and all you
   want is a URL path to the image source file itself.
 * After having a quick look at the plugin code it appears that you’ll have to get
   someone to modify the plugin for you so that it has a function to return just
   the image source.
 * Something like this:
 *     ```
       function userphoto__get_userphoto_url($user_id, $photoSize, $before, $after, $attributes, $default_src){
       	global $userphoto_prevent_override_avatar;
       	//Note: when we move to a global default user photo, we can always enter into the following conditional
       	if($user_id && ($userdata = get_userdata($user_id))){
       		if(($userdata->userphoto_approvalstatus == USERPHOTO_APPROVED) &&
       		    $image_file = ($photoSize == USERPHOTO_FULL_SIZE ? $userdata->userphoto_image_file : $userdata->userphoto_thumb_file))
       		{
       			$width = $photoSize == USERPHOTO_FULL_SIZE ? $userdata->userphoto_image_width : $userdata->userphoto_thumb_width;
       			$height = $photoSize == USERPHOTO_FULL_SIZE ? $userdata->userphoto_image_height : $userdata->userphoto_thumb_height;
   
       			$upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
       			if(!empty($upload_dir['error']))
       				return "Error: " . $upload_dir['error'];
       			$src = trailingslashit($upload_dir['baseurl']) . 'userphoto/' . $image_file;
       		}
       		else if($default_src){
       			$src = $default_src;
       			$width = $height = 0;
       		}
       		else if(get_option('userphoto_use_avatar_fallback') && !$userphoto_prevent_override_avatar){
       			$width = $height = get_option($photoSize == USERPHOTO_FULL_SIZE ? 'userphoto_maximum_dimension' : 'userphoto_thumb_dimension');
       			global $userphoto_using_avatar_fallback;
       			$userphoto_using_avatar_fallback = true;
       			$img = get_avatar($user_id, $width);
       			$userphoto_using_avatar_fallback = false;
       			if(!$img)
       				return;
       			if(!preg_match('{src=([\'"])(.+?)\1}', $img, $matches))
       				return;
       			$src = str_replace('&amp;', '&', $matches[2]);
       			if(preg_match('{class=([\'"])(.+?)\1}', $img, $matches))
       				$attributes['class'] .= ' ' . $matches[2];
       		}
       		else return '';
       	return $src;
       	}
       }
   
       function userphoto_the_author_photo_url($before = '', $after = '', $attributes = array(), $default_src = ''){
       	global $authordata, $curauthor;
       	if(!empty($authordata) && $authordata->ID)
       		echo userphoto__get_userphoto_url($authordata->ID, USERPHOTO_FULL_SIZE, $before, $after, $attributes, $default_src);
       }
       ```
   
 * Then use userphoto_the_author_photo_url() instead of userphoto_the_author_photo()
 * I’m not 100% sure that code will work but that’s basically what needs to be added
   to the plugin. I didn’t test it though.

 * Brilliant, thanks for your help… worked perfectly, now I have to try and figure
   out how to edit that so it does the same for comment avatars.
