unable to obtain buddypress user avatar url

Question

I am working on a plugin , inside the plugin , I have made a Javascript file which I want to have a the specific user buddypress avatar url assigned to a vairable.

My javascript file inside the plugin folder is named : myscript.js.php (so PHP can be executed inside this file).

The code inside the javascript file:

<?php

   header('Content-type: text/javascript');

   $home_dir = preg_replace('^wp-content/plugins/[a-z0-9\-/]+^', '', getcwd());
   include($home_dir . 'wp-load.php');

$ucurrentid = $current_user->ID;
$member_id = bp_core_get_userid( $ucurrentid );
$uphoto = bp_core_fetch_avatar ( array( 'item_id' => $member_id,'html'=>false ) );

?>

var uid = <?php echo $current_user->ID ?>;
var uphoto = <?php echo $uphoto ?>;

alert(uphoto);

This return the error : PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_user_avatar()

Why is the function undefined , which buddypress file should I include into the code so the function works?

You can try :

$avatar_link = bp_core_fetch_avatar(array('html' =>  false, 'item_id' =>  $user_id));
$avatar = '<img title="admin" src="' . $avatar_link . '"></img>';

// Display image
echo $avatar

You need user ID. Inside loop, you can do :

$user_id = bp_get_member_user_id();
