Need advice on how to handle user profile images

vishalkhialani - July 2, 2009 - 11:23

Hi,
The user's of the site I am developing will be allowed to upload their profile pictures and then this profile picture will also be used as a thumbnail in a listing

I want to users to edit the picture on the fly just like how one is able to do on facebook. So that they can make sure this thumbnail of theirs is looking good.

My problem is I have searched drupal and there are many modules out there. I am getting lost. I need a module which can help edit the image the way facebook profile picture allows you to do.

I appreciate if someone can point out a module which is simple and can do this for me.

Cheers,
Vishal Khialani

Found the modules

Hi,
I found the modules imagecache and imagecrop to work for what I need but how do I use it with the picture upload feature in the user's profile ?

Any one have a clue ? I found a tutorial but its out dated on lullabot.

Thank you.

Hello all,

I have the same problem. I need to plug an ajax crop module on the picture of the user's profile.

Vishal, do you have found a solution ? Or anyone ?

Thanks

Stéphane

Hi,
The image cache did it for me.
