Advanced Customization
For Front End Display
By default, the plugin hooks into the following filters: the_content() and the_excerpt().
OVERRIDE HTML DISPLAY USING FILTER HOOK: gklpa_the_postavatar
The gklpa_the_postavatar
filter takes two parameters:
-
$post_avatar_text
– Original HTML display -
$post_avatar
– Post Avatar data in array format. The keys are:avatar_url: The URL to the image show_image_dim: 1 indicates to show image dimensions, 0 to hide them image_height: integer value of image height or null if image dimensions is turned off image_width: integer value of image width or null if image dimensions is turned off post_id: ID of current post post_title: Post title for the image attribute image_name: Image file name
Example: Display a default image if no avatar is selected
This example makes use of the HTML/CSS settings defined by the site admin.
add_filter( 'gklpa_the_postavatar', 'prefix_show_default_image', 10, 2 );
function prefix_show_default_image( $post_avatar_html, $post_avatar_array ){
global $post, $gklpa_plugin_settings;
// Display default image;
if( is_null( $post_avatar_array ) ){
if( !empty( $gklpa_plugin_settings['css_class'] ) {
$css = 'class="' . $gkl_plugin_settings['css_class']. '"';
}
$post_avatar_html = $gklpa_plugin_settings['html_before' ] . '<img '. $css . ' src="http://wplatest.dev/images/default-image.jpg" alt="' . esc_attr(strip_tags($post->post_title) ) . '" />'. $gklpa_plugin_settings['html_after'];
}
return $post_avatar_html;
}
OVERRIDE HTML DISPLAY WITH CUSTOM CONTENT HOOK
If you want to change the HTML completely or override the option to display avatars automatically, use the remove_filter() like so:
remove_filter(‘the_content’, ‘gkl_postavatar_filter’, 99 );
remove_filter(‘the_excerpt’, ‘gkl_postavatar_filter’, 99 );
You can then define your own the_content
filter function that makes use of the gkl_postavatar()
or gkl_get_postavatar()
functions
You will need to use the function gkl_get_postavatar()
which takes the post object and returns the array of post avatar information.
-
$post_avatar_array
– Post Avatar data in array format. The keys are:avatar_url: The URL to the image show_image_dim: 1 indicates to show image dimensions, 0 to hide them image_height: integer value of image height or null if image dimensions is turned off image_width: integer value of image width or null if image dimensions is turned off post_id: ID of current post post_title: Post title for the image attribute image_name: Image file name
Example:
add_filter( 'the_content', 'my_custom_post_avatar' );
function my_custom_post_avatar( $content ){
global $post;
$current_avatar = gkl_get_postavatar( $post );
$html_before = '<span class="alignleft">';
$html_after = '</span>';
// Display default image
if( is_null( $current_avatar ) ) {
$image_url = 'http://wplatest.dev/images/default-image.jpg';
$alt_text = esc_attr(strip_tags($post->post_title) );
} else {
$image_url = $current_avatar['avatar_url'];
$alt_text = $current_avatar['post_title'];
}
$post_avatar_html = $html_before . '<img src="'. $image_url . '" alt="' . $alt_text . '" />'. $html_after;
return $post_avatar_html;
}
OVERRIDE HTML DISPLAY WITH template tag gkl_postavatar
If you want the post avatar to appear outside of the content, e.g. with the entry’s meta information, make use of the gkl_postavatar()
template tag.
It takes four paramters:
class: CSS class to use in the `<img>` tag.
before: HTML to appear before the image.
after: HTML to appear after the image.
do_what: Use `echo` to display the post avatar, `return` to pass it to a variable. Defaults to `echo`.
Example: In a template file:
<div class="entry-meta">
<?php gkl_postavatar('', "<span class='alignleft'>", "<span>" );?>
-- more template tags here --
</div>
Or you can make your own template tag function like in the example for “Override HTML display with custom content hook”, except you call the function directly in your template instead of hooking into the_content()
.
For Administration Screens
Add Post Avatar to Pages and Custom Post Types
Use the filter hook gklpa_allowed_post_types
to add further post types that you want the Post Avatar selection to appear on.
It takes an array of post type slugs as a parameter.
add_filter( 'gklpa_allowed_post_types', 'prefix_my_custom_post_types' );
function prefix_my_custom_post_types( $current_post_types ){
$current_post_types = array( 'post', 'page', 'review', 'event' );
return $current_post_types;
}
Enable Image Selection for Folder Outside of WordPress Installation
By default, Post Avatar looks for your images folder in relation to your WordPress installation. If you want to move your folder elsewhere, use these pair of filter hooks: gklpa_image_url
and gklpa_image_dir
. They take a single parameter: Image folder url and absolute path to the image folder, respectively.
add_filter( 'gklpa_image_url', 'prefix_change_folder_url' );
function prefix_change_folder_url( $current_url ){
return esc_url( 'http://mysite.com/images/' );
}
add_filter( 'gklpa_image_dir', 'prefix_change_folder_dir' );
function prefix_change_folder_dir ){
return '/user/public_html/images/';
}

- Can I upload images with the Post Avatar plugin?
-
No. Post Avatar does not support image uploads. It simply looks up the list of images that you’ve defined in the plugin settings. Images will need to be transferred via FTP or a file manager.
However, there are a few workarounds:
1. Make your image folder the same as your WordPress uploads folder to include images from the Media Library in the Post Avatar list. Or,
2. Install a plugin that will let you upload images to a folder other than the WordPress uploads folder. - How is Post Avatar different from Featured Images?
-
Post Avatar pre-dates Featured Images by 3 years and while both attach an image to a post, Post Avatar makes use of the same images while Featured Images is more for a unique image.
I designed Post Avatar so I can select images right from the Post Editor screen.
Also, I prefer to use images with smaller dimensions (usually 250px by 250px and lower).
Post Avatar is more efficient when used with a relatively short list of images (anything in the range of more thousands of images and I suggest you stay with Featured Images). - I’m new to WordPress. How can I change the styling of the image I’ve chosen?
-
You can make use of the HTML/CSS options in the Post Avatar settings page to make sure that the image’s look is in line with your theme. See Configuration options.
- Can I have multiple Post Avatar boxes for different folder locations in the Editor screen?
-
No. Post Avatar only displays a single list of images scanned from the folder you specified in the Post Avatar settings screen.
- Can I use Post Avatar with custom post types?
-
Not by default. If you’re comfortable with editing your theme’s function.php file you can use the custom filter ‘gklpa_allowed_post_types’ to enable the Post Avatar functionality on custom post types and pages. Please see the Developer section for more details
