Community Builder Integration

[Redwreck]

It is my understanding that CB avatars are supported in Simple Review, however I am not understanding how to implement this.   I have chosen to use Community Builder Avatars in the profile configuration tab of Simple Review.  Yet when a user submits a review the default thumbnail is not their cb avatar but, instead, /components/com_simple_review/images/image_unavailable.gif.  Is there any way to have the default be their community builder avatar--if so how would I implement it. 

Thank You and Regards,

Amy

Hello, The avatar integration is for the comment system so that users who leave ratings and comments will have their avatar show up. The thumbnail and full size image sections of a review are meant for pictures of the item or thing you are reviewing. There is no pre-built connection between a review's image thumbnail and any given user's avatar.

I am having the same problem as Redwreck...

How do I get avitar integration for the comment system to work? I am running Simple Review 3.0.13 and Community Builder 1.8.1.  When I go into Simple Review, Profiles it shows Community Builder installed = no.

What am I doing wrong?

At the time of this writing both of those are the latest versions

Hello,

It is possible that there has been a change to CB that we may not have known about. You will probably need help from Row1 on this issue - can you please specify the version of Joomla you are using?

Thanks for the prompt reply

Simple Review currently assumes that CB is installed if the following file exists:

www/administrator/components/com_comprofiler/comprofilej.xml

As a work around you could try change the following Simple Review file to force it into thinking that it is installed:

www/administrator/components/com_simple_review/addons/modules/Profile_Module/providers/ProfileProviderCommunityBuilder.php

Change this:

Code: [Select]

function Installed()
{
$path = JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_comprofiler/comprofilej.xml';
return file_exists($path);
}

to this:

Code: [Select]

function Installed()
{
return true;
}

  Thanks, row1. That solves the problem.
