Enabling user pictures (avatars)

Note that user pictures (or avatars) or pictures are part of the user.module, not the profile module.

Enable user pictures:

1. Navigate to the administration area for user module configuration page under Administer > User Management > User Settings
2. In the Pictures settings, for Picture support, select Enabled (Enable picture support.)
3. Note: you must write in your directory name. Make sure the directory is created and make sure you have that directory has write permissions (that is, chmod to 755).
4. Click "Save Configuration"

Drupal 4.7 allows you to enable avatars at administer » settings » users (admin/settings/user).

Once the pictures are enabled you must also make sure to change your settings to display them:

1. Go to Administer > Site Building > Themes and click the "Configure" tab to change the setting for all of your themes. (To only make the change to one theme, click the "configure" link next to your-theme-name instead.)
2. Check the boxes for "User pictures in posts" or/and "User pictures in comments" as appropriate.
3. Make sure the check box for each content type you wish to use avatars is checked in the "Display post information on" section.
4. Click "Save Configuration"
