is there a hack for a member image, asked at registration and that shows up on the blog?

There isn't one available yet no, but if I can ever find the time, I can try and put together a clear hack that I used for http://www.goombalooza.com It requires altering the b2users tablein the database a little. I'm trying to work to get a Manage Avatars for each user but if you'd like, you're welcome to sign up and check it out. It's still inthe works!

No, but you can do it by uploading an image and calling it with a function:

[php:1:fe84430cd1]<img src="pictures/<?php the_author_login() ?>.jpg" border="0">[/php:1:fe84430cd1]

(found in readme.html)

Hope that helps.

how would the author be able to upload that certain image for him/her self?

hi dtdgoomba,

Any news about your "member image upload" hack? I've checked it on your site and it looks great. Can you share the hack? Thanks. Smile

I'll have to go through the code one of these nights when I'm free and let you know how I did it. I was researching stuff on php.net regarding how to upload an image, and I store some info in a database to pull later. I was hoping (months ago) to get a fully functional interface where you can delete, right now you can add and add, but not delete or edit! I'm glad you like it though, it's been nice seeing randoms sign up on the site!

In the meanwhile, go to http://www.php.net and/or google and search for how to upload images with php just to get an idea. I'll give you what I can at some point, I promise.

Here's the avatar code I use if you're wanting to use it. It's not particularly elegant, but it's pretty flexible.

I use the code on our little site, so you can check it out at:

There are some basic installation instructions in the .zip. If you have troubles using it, holler: [email protected]

Edit:
I know this doesn't follow the rule of "don't just replace files" for hacks (re: b2profile.php). I had this together already and wanted to offer what I had. In the next couple of days or week I'll try to put together a more polite version and make it available.
