Award user points for selecting an avatar?

Question

I'd like to award my happy little users when they select an avatar.

Anyone know of a module that melds User Points and Avatar Selection?

Both modules are awesome, but I can't find a way to combine them into thanks-for-making-your-profile-pretty goodness.

I don't think there already exists a module for this.

What you need to do is implement hook_user_update() and check if the user now has a picture assigned but didn't before. If so, use userpoints_userpointsapi() to grant the user the number of points you want.

Something like this:

<?php
function yourmodule_user_update(&$edit, $account, $category) {
  if (!empty($edit['picture'] && empty($account->picture)) {
    $params = array(
      'uid' => $account->uid,
      'points' => 10,
      // You probably want to provide additional arguments, 
      // refer to the API documentation.
    );
    userpoints_userpointsapi($params);
  }
}
?>
