Is it possible to make PROFILE PHOTO a member's Avatar?

[pcoskat]

I'd like to have a mod (or find an existing mod) that would turn a person's profile photo into their Avatar (no larger than 100 x 100).

Is this possible?

Does the User Profile Photo use a custom profile field? If yes, what is the field #? If no, what are you using to display the photos?

I'll check what the profile photo Field # is, but I haven't changed anything from the default settings...

The default is that you have to view a person's profile to see their photo...I just want it to replace their avatar...

Why not use a avatar as a profile pic and vice versa....ALOT easier that way.

[Freesteyelz]

Yup. Since avatars use pre-defined extensions that is a good option. You may also want to check out post #6. I haven't tried it so I don't know if it'll work. If it does, however, you then can set a conditional that will state if profile picture displays then avatar will not. If you need help with that let us know but first see if that plugin works.

That thread sounds like it might do the trick! I'll need help, but first let me get my photopost classifieds installed, and I'll drop you a line - thanks!

I too am looking for a 'avatar ='s thumbnail of profile photo' mod. HAs anyone come up with one?

All it needs to be is a small script that uses GD2 to create a thumbnail when a user uploads a new profile pic... that thumbnail is then automatically added to the profile as their avatar.
