not like an avatar but a full picture.

i think ikonboard has something like this.

i used to do a member profiles thing where people uploaded a pic and it was displayed...but i never could figure out how to get it interactive with my forum members...

i am going to work on it...if someone knows anything shoot me a reply!

thanks

i think someone made a hack for it cause ive seen it somewhere, a simple way of doing it would be making a new user feild then adding the html in the getinfo template to make it disply as a image.

you could probably just have them enter it in hosted on a seperate site or something like that

cause it could be a big bandwidth issue i guess

yes allowing uploads would put alot of extra info in the database.

see i know very little about editing the templates

i made a field called "Profile Pic" and I went into getinfo template and it doesnt show anything. I guess I can just edit that html to show the img src of whatever they type in as Profile Pic???

I'll see if this works out.

just doing <img src=" "> around the new profile feild call and that will disply the image, or just call the profile feild and it will link to the pic on their server

ok my only question is where i find the variable holding

Profile Pic in from the profile fields?

like $userinfo[profilepic] or something?

cause getinfo displays all the customfields like so

$customfields

i wonder if its $customfields[profilepic] or something...i just cant figure out where you go to figure that out

$post[field5]

i belive thats right, replace 5 with your profile feild #, if its the frist one youve added that will do.
