Description
hello,
would it be possible to have a radio-button "Include my Picture in Blog Information block"???
if checked it would result in user's Avatar appear inside the BlogInfo block, above the text.
I thank you in advance

@matrixfighter - While there isn't an easy to select checkbox it can be done fairly easily. I don't really have the time to write the code to do this anytime soon. Though, if someone else wants to roll a patch they can.
To get the picture to work add this to the template.php file for your theme:
<?phpfunction phptemplate_bloginfo_block($description, $format, $author) {
if (!empty($author)) { $user = user_load($author); }
$output = "";
if (!empty($user->picture)) {
$output .= '<img src="/'.$user->picture.'" alt="" />';
}
$output .= check_markup($description, $format, FALSE);
return $output;
}
?>

thanks... but...
I've pasted this code into my template.php (which for some reason does not end with "?>" - but anyway)
and it came back with this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in C:\wamp\www\dev\sites\all\themes\basetheme\template.php on line 280
line 280 is the line which displays the first line of your code -- ie
<?phpI tried deleting "?>" at the end, but it's all the same
BTW: my basetheme is based on Zen theme

I've deleted "
<?php" and also the "
?>
But when I've started testing the BlogInfo module it also gave me the following:
* warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in C:\wamp\www\dev\modules\user\user.module on line 53.
* user warning: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1 query: SELECT * FROM users u WHERE in C:\wamp\www\dev\includes\database.mysql.inc on line 172.
The BlogInfo text is displaying no problems, but there is still no avatar inside the BlogInfo block.

Do you get the error without any modifications to the template.php file?
In your template.php file put everything between the
<?phpand
?>
<?phpand
?>

I ran the script to display user's avatar as you gave me originally -- that didn't work.
Then I modified few minor things -- that didn't work either.
It now gives me the following error
* warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in C:\wamp\www\dev\modules\user\user.module on line 53.
* user warning: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1 query: SELECT * FROM users u WHERE in C:\wamp\www\dev\includes\database.mysql.inc on line 172.
I never changed anything in user.module
Should I just wait untill you release a newer version of this module that would incorporate this feature of displaying user's avatar by default?
#6
I would be willing to bet you are also using " Private Message" module. Use the latest stable version to fix this, not the Dev :)
#7
yes, I am using the Private Mesage module, but it is the stable 1.8 version and these errors still show
#8
Perhaps a better way to do this is by setting a block on the page? I'm not sure whether this would require any custom code in current Drupal at all? I think it might be sufficient to just set up the block with the content being a pointer to the user's avatar?
#9
Pushing this forwards as there wont be any new features in D5 version, however no promises this will be in D6 either but I will look at it when I got time.

Maybe the Author pane module can help you with that by adding a block with the author details like name, picture and more.
