User image in header

Hello all,

I am working on 8.8 micro jobs and want to display the user image and user ID for registered users.
I want to put it instead of the links displayed in the right corner of the header (dashboard, notification, favorites, logout), so when a user hover his image or user ID, a dropdown is shown with the links mentioned above.
I found that those links are in the class_design.php file and the code for one of them is:

$STRING .= $b_f.’‘.$CORE->_e(array(‘account’,’46’)).’ (‘.$CORE->FAVSCOUNT().’)‘.$b_a;

I copied the PHP code for user image from the account-overview.php file:

ID ); }else{ echo “#”; } ?>” class=”frame”><?php echo get_avatar($userdata->ID , 60 ); ?>

But I am having a hard time to combine this two line of codes regarding the correct syntax.
Can you please help me? Or is there a better way to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance,
Yaniv
