Avatar Blocks
The AvatarBlocks module provides a collection of blocks for use on a Drupal social networking site. The avatars act as click-able links to the profile pages for your site's users.
The AvatarBlocks module creates the following blocks:
- Who's Online Avatars - a block that displays the user pictures of online users, and optionally a text summary of online users. This block is a visual version of the Who's Online block provided by the core user module.
- Who's New Avatars - a block that displays the user pictures of your site's newest members. This block is a visual version of the Who's New block provided by the core user module.
- My Buddylist Avatars - If you have the Buddylist module installed, this block will display the user pictures of the current user's buddies. This block is a visual version of the My Buddylist block provided by the buddylist module.
The AvatarBlocks module can use the facilities of the ImageCache module to scale your user avatars to a consistent size and shape. If you are using ImageCache with AvatarBlocks, you'll need ImageCache version 2, which requires PHP5. AvatarBlocks does not work with ImageCache version 1.x
A live demonstration is available on the AvatarBlocks Demo site. Complete instructions for installing and using AvatarBlocks can be found in the AvatarBlocks Handbook.
Note: A few modules provide similar capabilities, including Latest Members, Avatar Gallery, and User Display.
