Hi alex, how did you configured the content profile/ user profile? 'Cause I tried the same but it doesn't work out for me. any advice?
#4
This feature doesn't use content profile or profile.module. It's the standard drupal user picture that gets shown.

I used some theming tricks to do this. basically, I added the UID to the view, then in a theme override file for the field, I use that UID to load information, get the picture and display it through imagecache.
Effective and an excellent trick for getting things done if you want to have a manual handle on your code.
[code]
<?php$fanuser = user_load ( array( 'uid' => $view->result[$id - 1]->users_user_relationships_uid ));
if ( empty ( $fanuser->picture )):
//set a default picture if it's empty
$fanuser->picture = 'files/blank_profile_pic.jpg';
endif;
$avatar = theme( 'imagecache', 'image_teaser', $fanuser->picture );
print l($avatar, 'user/'. $view->result[$id - 1]->users_user_relationships_uid , array( 'html' => 'true' , 'attributes' => array('alt' => $node->title, 'title' => $node->title )));
?>
[/code]

@nimzie
are you saying that for each UID in the list, you are using user_load? Isn't user_load very expensive from load perspective? There may be simpler/less expensive ways to get user pictures?

@ajayg - I'm sure there is - but i'm not sure of the best way to do that. The user object is quite large, and I'm sure Drupal has to do some extensive work to build it. Any advice would be great, thanks.

OG (organic groups) module handles pictures of group members using view and view has builtin field to display pictures in block. So I am hoping some code there could be leveraged or the view reused/repurposed.
