Description

Throughout the issues, I see about the settings of Author Pane (example: http://drupal.org/node/387926) but I cannot find any settings page. Is it implemented yet or am I dumb enough not to find it? Or do we adjust the settings via tpl files only?? (I am using 2.x dev)

And my suggestion is:
When you see the avatar on a user's profile page and when you click on it, it goes to profile page again. I know it is the desired situation when author pane is on a forum page. But it would be really really nice if it goes to a larger version of profile picture when we click on avatar on the profile pages. Imagecache integration would be needed for this. If this option is implemented, I could easily show it on a lightbox and it would be fantastic.

By the way, the module is really great as it is. Mine is just an improvement suggestion. With this and some other modules, someone really could make a Facebook style site. I am working on a site like that about soccer (www.sahandafutbol.com) .

Cheers,

Sinan

The only settings AP has is in the block. It's mostly meant to be controlled by other modules.

What you're suggesting is something I don't think AP should be doing. That's best implemented by a theme_user_picture override. But I'll leave this active a bit and give it some further thought before making a final decision on it.

I've decided to reduce some code duplication by centralizing the resizing into AP. (See #542998: Pull image resizing into AP ) This would give me a place to add this in as an option. I think it would be especially useful for APK because it makes no sense for the image to link back to the profile there.

I think it is a wise decision. Waiting to see the results. Please write here if you need any help (I dont know any PHp but other than that, I am willing to help).

Cheers,

Unfortunately, what I need right now is time. I'm not going to be any dev work until Monday. Just too much non computer stuff going on in my life right now.

Moving this over to APK's queue so it can be handled there.

Changing the name so it's clearer what this is. I've done the work in AP to make it possible for APK to do this. Now just need to get APK doing its part.
