checking if user uploaded avatar and bio

I wanted to write some code on whether the user has uploaded their avatar image and inputted their personal bio.  Does anybody have any rest api or freemarker code that I can re-use?  Wanted to promote those two pieces of user-generated content (or lack thereof) and have the following type of message to prompt them "Your profile is 75% complete". Any help would be appreciated.

    Not sure where you'd want to apply this, but this Freemarker code should give you what you want:

     

    <#assign bio = restadmin("/users/id/${user.id?c}/settings/name/profile.bio").value!"" />
<#assign avatar = restadmin("/users/id/${user.id?c}/profiles/avatar/url").value!"" />

<#if bio == "" || avatar == "" || avatar?matches(".*serverpage/avatar-name/.*")>
  <div class="custom-profile-status"><font color="#FF0000">Your profile is 75% complete.</font></div>
</#if>

      thanks! Does this take into account the default avatar that everyone gets when they create an account or only those that upload their own.

        Yep.  This code makes sure the user has uploaded an avatar and they are not using a system provided one.
