Hello,

This must be very simple (for the Drupal experts at least).

Is there a clear explanation of
how to show the picture of the user in the USERS summary list page
and the User Profile Page in Drupal 4.7 ?

The default profile page outputs various info except the picture.

The standard explanation is to create a template.php and user_profile.tpl.php
and place this code in the user_profile.tpl.php.


if($user->picture):

Only local images are allowed. print $user->picture ">

endif;

By doing this you get the picture but lose all other default items
which need tobe put in by additional code to customise the page.

SURELY there must be a way to include the above line in the stock
DRUPAL execution. Ihad a look at the profile.module but can't figure out
how and where?

Can someone suggest how to do this ?

Many thanks in advance
Shred

Hello,

Many thanks, but where do you set this in the admin?

I have checked admin>>setting>> profiles
and admin>>settings>>user
but couldn't find a menu item

The only setting was in the admin>> themes>>
where I could check a box to show oictures on the posts and comments.

BTW the site is Http://paratlane.net

What is the URL of your site where it is working

Cheers

It's in admin >> settings >> users >> configure tab

It's well hidden, and this is not the only thing in drupal that is hard to find ;-) Try configuring content types, that's a doozie too!

Hello,

I don't have admin >> settings >> users >> configure tab in DRUPAL 4.7

All I have is a long page with various settings for E mail etc and an enable
picture support check box which has been checked and file location for
pictures and default picture.

Which versionof Drupal are you reffering to

I'm running 4.6.7, but either way sounds like you're on the right page. Cause that's what i see on my configuration page. I just enabled picture support, make sure whatever directory you specifiy there has write permissions for users, and that should be it.

Hello,

I have rechecked the directory and permission
and picture support . Still i don't see the picture.

Could you please let me have a url for the site
it is working? Is it it a site the user list is open for guests ?
That is what I intent to do at http://paratlane.net.

Icould get the picture to show by using the code
if($user->picture):

Only local images are allowed. print $user->picture ">

endif;

So surely the picture is getting stored . If only
I could retrive it without having to use additional files.

Hi Marlowx

Iam using the Bluemarine theme (as I had problems with other themes)

I have looked at admin / settings / users / several times and could only find
the picture support checkbox anf directory setting

The URL I requested is for your website where the picture is showing in the profile page
