    Thought I’d pass along this 30-second hack in case others found it useful. I’m sure there’s a more elegant way of doing this, so feel free to chime in if you can improve it.

    In the CBox blog/sites directory, each blog is accompanied by the avatar of the site’s administrator. If there are multiple administrators, it seems to pick … well, I’m not actually sure how it chooses among the administrators, but it picks one.

    This works fine for individual member blogs, but less so for collaborative or topic-focused sites. You may find yourself wishing you could use a specific user’s avatar or supply a custom avatar. Here’s some edits to /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php that let you do just that.

    You could also place this in your theme’s functions.php if you control its development.

CBOX has its roots in the CUNY Academic Commons, which in turn was made possible through funding from The City University of New York itself.

The Commons In A Box was made possible through the generous support of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

The CUNY Graduate Center has directly contributed to the CUNY Academic Commons, housing the project since its inception, and has contributed to CBOX through its GC Digital Initiatives.
