Description
The my relationships block works and displays the name of the user. I would like it to also include the user's picture/avatar but I"m not where I need to put the print user picture code. Has anyone added pictures to their user relationships block?

You'll want to override a couple of theme functions:
<?phpfunction theme_user_relationship_block_content($viewing_user, $rtid, $relationships) {}
function theme_user_relationship_block_pending($account, $block_type, $rtype, $extra) {}
?>
You can see the current implementation in the user_relationship_block.module file under the plugins directory.
I'd love to see how you implement it; send along the new functions when you finish.

Hi...I'm a beginner as far as coding and am still trying to grasp how to call those functions. I'm transitioning to Drupal 6 and was hoping you could give an example code of what to put in a custom block to show just the UR profile pictures.
Kind regards,

Hi sprsquish
I am looking for a similar solution. I wish to add user pictures to the User Relationship Block as well as to the User Relationship list.
I understand that I need to override a couple of theme functions. I had a look at user_relationship_theme.inc & gathered that I need to override user_relationships_page function for overriding the default relationships page / list. Is that correct?
I added the following code in my themes template.tpl.php
function phptemplate_user_relationships_page($uid = NULL, $rtid = NULL) {
return _phptemplate_callback('user_relationships_page', array('uid' => $uid, 'rtid' => $rtid));
then i created user_relationships_page.tpl.php file. But now I am struggling! I am only able to print $uid variable using this file.
Can you please let me know
1. which variables are available for the user_relationships_page.tpl.php file to use &
2. how to call / use them?
3. & mainly how to get user pictures in the list / table?
Thanks a lot in advance
(I dont know if I should write here in a closed issue or create a new support request - let me know if I need to move this post to a new issue)

Yes I think this would be great if someone could figure out how to do this and show everyone! I'm sure many people would like this! It would be a very attractive myspace style friends list. I wish I could but I'm a novice with PHP coding. If someone figures it out, if they could post a step by step instructions for us novices I'm sure many people would appreciate it! Thank you so much!

I've just done this by altering the user_relationship_block.module file (although you may prefer to override the function in your template file) so that the theme_user_relationship_block_content function is changed (the theme_user_relationship_block_pending function can be changed as well of course) from username to user_picture like this (just one changed):
<?php$username = theme('user_picture', $relatee);
?>
Then I've altered my css like so:
#profile-relationships .content {
text-transform: capitalize;
font-weight:bold;
}
#profile-relationships ul {
list-style:none;
padding:0;
margin:0;
}
#profile-relationships ul li {
list-style:none;
padding:0;
margin:0;
}
#profile-relationships .item-list .picture img {
width:60px;
float:left;
}
The pictures don't align correctly in I.E, but I've only just done this and it shouldn't be too difficult to fix.

Thanks for the code suggestion. Tried it & it's working! (though modifying code like this is not ideal, the main thing is its achieving desired result)

No problem. Add display:inline; to the #profile-relationships ul li CSS if you want the images to display correctly in a row (without the staircase effect) in I.E.
#11
Anyone manage to find how to make the css working? I really can't figure how to remove the staircase effect.
#12
I'm using panels so the CSS isn't loaded by default. If anyone have the same, in the CSS ID field enter: profile-relationships and all will be fine.
#13
nf1, does adding display:inline; to the #profile-relationships ul li not work?
#14
very nice but could you tell me where exactly do i have to put the code. please explain like for example:
search code, then add in bottom, top etc.. the code
#15
In your user_relationship_block.module file that you need to upload with this module, search for theme_user_relationship_block_content (and theme_user_relationship_block_pending if you want to change that also).
Where it says:
<?php$username = theme('username', $relatee);
?>
Change to...
<?php$username = theme('user_picture', $relatee);
?>
Save the file and upload. Change CSS settings like I mentioned if you like.

hi everyone ,
i achieved this by simple tweaking in the user_relationships.theme.inc file , instead of diplaying the tabular output i have displayed the user picture and any details available ( the function can be modified to include the user details from the profile module or others) , i used the code used to display the user pictures on the user_profile pages , u can see the changed display of "My relationships" on MentorCorner .
The code i modified looks like :
$output .= "<hr>".theme_user_picture($this_user);$output .= "<br><strong>Username:</strong>".theme('username', $this_user)."<br>".$this_user->name." is your ".$relation->name."<br>";
Also i have written a detailed version of the tweak here :
