I am wondering how I would be able to call the profile picture to another area on the site. What is the function for the user picture under the profile tab? I want to be able to include it on the sidebar for the user when they login above their name.

in the themes tpl.php files it is called:

 <?php print $picture ?>

theme('user_picture',$account);

I'm fairly sure it's the actual user object that's passed and not just the UID but this is off the top of my head so I could be wrong.

There is a new issue regarding this. When a user uploads a new photo that is not the default, it doesn't seem to pull it correctly to the area or, at all. The new image upload is working because on the account page you can view their newly uploaded photo, but not on the side bar as I wanted. Not sure what to do.
