Hi,
Is there any way to get Avatars (User Pictures) to appear on postings, comments, blog entries, and the pages that users create? Here is an example of User Pictures on messages. I'd like to have something similar on my Drupal website; as much as possible, whenever a registered user enters a post, comment, blog entry, etc. his or her picture would just automatically appear, as in that link to the example above.
How Can I do this, or is it possible in Drupal?
Thanks
Best Wishes,
Stephen

yes
yes yes yes!!
Tough you may need to tweek your theme to have it appear

Tweaking necessary?
With 4.6.5, go to admin/settings - click `enable user pictures in posts'
And also enable user picture support.
(Can it work without the image.module? I dont remember that - because image.module is installed for every Drupal site we created)
The example is an SMF Forum.
The example is an SMF Forum. Heard that PHP-BB integration is very much supported by Drupal guys. But does PHP-BB=Drupal has the picture support?
yes...yes, yes!
PHPbb-theme:
yes its almost like a phpbb forum with pic support(tested it my self).
Drupal:
It can be a problem with theme sometimes to have a avatar show.. but usually its no problem. Yet, you prbly will need to make some minor ajustments in CSS(at least I had too)

What Minor Adjustments to CSS?
Hi morphir,
Thanks for you info. I do have a question. What do you mean by "make some minor ajustments in CSS". Exactly what would I have to "tweak"? and how would I do that?
Thanks,
Best Wishes,

Yes, it was SMF, but it's the pictures I was showing..
Yes, the example is a SMF forum, but I was just giving an example of the type of "picture on the user's posts" that I'd like something similar to. The fact that it was a SMF forum was irrelevant to me. It's the pictures I was showing. I was just asking if Drupal could do something similar to that.

Thanks for the picture examples...
Hi Steve,
Thanks for the link to http://groups.drupal.org/ . I found several pages showing the user pictures, such as: http://groups.drupal.org/seattle and http://groups.drupal.org/drupalcamp-seattle-2006. This is just what I was asking for. Thank you very much for giving the live examples. (That is always the best evidence.)

Drupal can do it and more....
Before you start asking..why Drupal forum looks like the way it is.... (people start comparing Drupal forum with SMF and PHP-BB) which for me is annoying :)
Well, it depends on how you want the forum to look like....Drupal forum IMHO is funny looking with the boxes and the alignment (you can see it here).
Enable picture support. And enable user picture in comments.
If you are interested in using PHP-BB forum within Drupal, well people have done it and it is nice thing to have.
User Images work but depends on theme
Hi,
A few things:
1. You need to enable user images
2. You and your users need to actually upload the image (no defaults in Drupal)
3. Your need to enable user images in posts and comments in the theme
4. The theme should support user images (some themes don't support them - in that case you'll need to hack the theme)
Good luck,
Mohamed

How do i override it?
Im trying to format my comments and node pages to show user pictures. How do i get the image formatted similar to groups.drupal.org? Where the picture is left aligned and the text wraps around the image. Is this even an override?
