How to change avatars' thumbnails diemensions in 3.7 & 3.8

Avatars' thumbnails are which you see in new profiles, albums, social groups, comments and visitor messages.

The maximum dimensions by default are 60px width and 80px height.

1) You can change them from includes/class_core.php (line 17):

PHP Code:

/**#@+
* The maximum sizes for the "small" profile avatars
*/
define('FIXED_SIZE_AVATAR_WIDTH', 60);
define('FIXED_SIZE_AVATAR_HEIGHT', 80);
/**#@-*/ 


Change the 60 and the 80 to the new values you want and save.


2) Then go to your admincp to rebuild the thumbnails:

Maintenance -> Update Counters -> Rebuild Avatar Thumbnails


And you're done!

Ah thank you
I was looking for this. I fixed it by editing the functions_user.php with just linking all thumbnails of avatars to the original avatars because they are bigger, but your solution is better I think.

Is there any way to just turn off the thumbnail deal? I really hate it.

I don't know about it - sorry.

Ah well, thanks for the answer! I've never actually messed with the hard code before, but I'm about desperate enough to try. Thanks for the Mod!

You can set that under your usergroups options.
