Specify path to user photo

This sounds interesting, but can't see how it would hang together.

Where do the images get uploaded?
- a directory in the user_import module directory? Somewhere else?

How do you put the filepath for each image into the csv file?

yes, if picture support is enabled in user settings.

use Picture image path (specified by admin)
Subdirectory in the directory files/ where pictures will be stored.

Does anyone know a way to do picture imports? specifying a file path seems to be the most logical.

I wrote a patch to add some picture support - upload the pictures to the site user pictures directory. Have a field with the file name.

When the users are imported

/**
 * Import the picture data
 */
function user_user_import_picture_date($data, $settings = array()) {
  // the site file directory, system user picture directory are prepended to the file name
  return file_directory_path() . '/' . variable_get('user_picture_path', 'pictures') . '/' . $data;
}

if you have files in a directory within the pictures directory then that directory needs to prepend to the file name in your csv file

RTBC. Patch from #4 works perfectly, except that it just needed a re-roll.

Needs to be re-rolled for most recent version.
