XF 1.5 xen:avatar help

[Nathanial B.]

What is the data I need to pass xen:avatar in node_forum_level_2? I'm trying to get the avatar of the latest poster in a thread to appear next to the username for the latest post on the forum index. I'm just having a hard time figuring out the proper data I can pass to it to display the correct avatar.

For example:

I've searched through the core template for examples, but am not finding anything I can use.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The New Posts block does this already (as you can set on the forum index here's on XenForo). Or are you talking about something different?

That's not quite what I mean. I mean for each forum on the index, you can see the latest thread title, and the author. I would like to display the avatar of the author. The problem is, I can't figure out what array I can pass to show a users avatar.

You may still want to do this yourself but if not, there's an add-on that adds this feature:

<xen:avatar user="$category.lastPost" size="s" img="true" />

<xen:avatar user="$category.lastPost" size="s" img="true" />

I've tried this as well, it just displays the stock "?" avatar.

I've tried this as well, it just displays the stock "?" avatar.

That's as expected as the avatar date/gravatar info for the users who made the last posts is not available. You would need an add-on for that information, and then it will work,
