Profile Photo - IMPAQ - 2005-09-16
Can someone create or possibly point me in the direction for creating a photo field in the profile?
I'm creating an website for professionals in a particular industry and I would like to modify the profile to look like a business card type of thing. I would like to allow the person to upload a photo to be placed in their profile. Any ideas on how to go about doing this?

can't you use the avatar? I mean if people are willing to put their face in their profile...they can use the avatar-field for that purpose just as well...it's not like it's securely hidden in their profile or anything?

I anticipated a post or two along these lines.
I didn't want to use their avatar. Maybe they don't want to look at their own mug everytime they post.
Thanks for the suggestion, though.

I created a plugin like this for the next version of my website http://www.msgweb.nl, you can find a preview here. It's not fully automated though, the templates required are not included in the plugin. Tell me whether you are interested.

Juzzi, I'm absolutely interested.
Thanks!

Any word on this, Juzzi?
Thanks.

Sorry I didn't reply, I've been busy setting up the next version of my website...
I'd like to make this plugin fully automatically, but as I said there will be some manual changes needed for now. Anyway, if you can code a bit, you should be able to use it on your forums. I attached the main plugin, and will list some other changes which will be needed here:
Make a file 'photo.php' in your main forums folder:
<?php
if(@mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "")){
mysql_select_db("forum");
$res = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM mybb_photos WHERE uid='".intval($_GET['uid'])."'") or die(mysql_error());
$photo = mysql_fetch_assoc($res);
if($photo['photo'])
{
$photo['photo'] = stripslashes($photo['photo']);
header("Content-Type: " . $photo['type']);
header("Content-Length: " . strlen($photo['photo']));
echo $photo['photo'];
}
mysql_close();
}
?>You need to edit the usercpnav template to add a link 'edit photo' which links to usercp.php?action=photo
And you of course need to add a place on the profile, $photo will contain the photo data ('<img src=.....' etc), and $lang->photo_title 'photo of ....'.
Hope you can install it, otherwise just ask

Fantastico! Thanks, homie.
I'll let you know how it goes. I wish I had something to offer in return, in terms of modifications, but... I'm not as proficient in coding as you may be. I can tweak somethings here and there.
I modded the portal to serve as an article management system. http://www.iprosnetwork.com/forums/articles.php
That's about it. Anyways, thanks again.

No problem, just tell me the results
RE: Profile Photo - IMPAQ - 2005-09-20
Playing with it now...
stupid question #1... can you give me an idea of how the template should look for "edit photo"?
stupid question #2... any SQL queries need to be done? (i.e. creating mybb_photos table)
stupid question #3... any other files need to be changed?
... more stupid questions to come.
Thanks in advance.
