Description
Hi,
As the "people you might know" and the "mutual friends" block are not created via views, I'm unable to customize them. Can anyone give me a tipp how I can theme them showing user pictures instead of user names?
Thank you
Ben

Hi Ben, according to the module code, theming the block is on the TODO list. I haven't tried this, but you could try altering line #263 of friendlist_block.module.
Change this line:
<?php$picture = theme_get_setting('toggle_node_user_picture') ? theme('user_picture', $account) : '';
?>
to this:
<?php$picture = theme('user_picture', $account);
?>
Hopefully we will be able to make the blocks theme-able soon.
Regards,
Marius

The blocks are currently themes using the item_list theming function:
return theme('item_list', $list, NULL, 'ul', array('class' => $list_class));
You should be able to hook into it. You will be able to determine what is being themed by analyzing class attribute which takes following two values respectively:
friendlist_mutual_friends
and
friendlist_who_you_might_know
Running blocks through a more specific theming function is a good idea, but probably not an immediate priority vs fixing some functional issues?

Hi Ben,
Yep, theming of the blocks should be possible since it's basicaly just an item_list of $picture .' '. theme('username', $account) (which is the username really).
There is very little that CSS shoiuldb't be able to do.
However, I agree that friendlist_blocks_display_user_list should be a theme function to be honest, since it really is all about output. I am adding this as a feature request -- the way the block part of the module is created, it will be easy to turn that function into a theme!
Bye,
Merc.
