Description

Do you know the way to add this option under images uploaded by user ?
I want to turn off image upload option in edit profile page and make it more simple.
When user will upload first picture to his gallery it will be set by default as his avatar.
Then after adding more pics to gallery, user would get the option - Set us my default user image.
Any ideas ?

this functionality should probably be provided by a separate module, though i don't know one that exists. i see two pieces, one would be a way (form?) to select the profile image from a list of images, and the second part would be to override user->picture. icp could then run that image through imagecache like normal and would be none the wiser that it wasn't the traditional profile pic.

If I could I would write this module.. :)
That would be a cool option in imagecache_profile anyway. Seperate presets for avatars have to be set anyway, so just small check button under the pic upload form -> set this pic as avatar.
Is the other module really needed ? I browsed hunderds of modules days ago and didn't find any which can handle this small task.
Thanks for your response, if I find something interesting in this topic I will paste it here.
