Any chance of porting this to drupal 6 ? Seems like a really cool module.

mariusooms commentedI guess looking at the inactivity this is not going to happen? There are no real good alternatives for those who wish to have consistent cropped and sized user pictures for drupal 6. So...I do hope this will be a reality...

amandawolfe commented+1 for a drupal 6 port. I'm desperate for this module--I have several things going on in my theme that require user images to be exactly square. This is exactly what I need! Not well-versed enough in php to port it myself, but I thought I'd throw it out there in case anyone is listening. :)
Comment #4
mariusooms commentedamandawolfe...check out this thread. I use that module for square sized user profiles as well. Works very well with imagecache on which it depends.

amandawolfe commentedMarius Thank You! You just saved me a huge amount of trouble. I was finally able to get my lovely cropped user images. Phew. :) Now I'm going to bother you with a quick question. I have a custom block snippet that's pulling in the images of the newest 10 users. I realized this custom block is using the original user picture (not cropped or scaled) which is a problem because for the block to look half-decent, the images need to be square. I've tried all morning to figure out how to use the new imagecache pictures, but to no avail. (I even tried digging around in the module to see how imagecache handles calling the images but apparently I don't know enough about php to figure it out!) If you have a sec to look, do you know how I might make this work? here's the original snippet.

mariusooms commentedI'm pretty sure it is because of your query. You see, in the database the user picture is unaffected. It is afterward that imagecache manipulates the original picture. I wouldn't know how to adjust your block snippet, I'm sorry. For this functionality I'd check out Views module. With Views you should be able to create a block of the latest users. Then you can even use ajax paging and you'll have many other options at your disposal as well. Definitly better than a snippet :)

amandawolfe commentedThanks Marius--good point! I think I found the snippet before I had installed Views, so I never bothered to change it. Off to make a new block... :)
