How to display user pictures/avatar?
Hi everyone,
What's the smarty tag to display an user avatar? In a related question, the Gravatar plugin doesn't seem to work in the Profile view. Is there any fix for that?

Try scanning some my other questions - messages on the page relating to Smarty. Sometimes your answer is other user's questions
. My attempt to change "user question myopia" where they focus only on questions they want answered.

Hi @johansonlocker. Thanks for the quick response. I'm completely new to Vanilla, and honestly, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with your code.
I'm modifying the
default.master.tpl
view, and as far as I've been able to deduce, I can't use PHP code in there.What I'm trying to do is to have a small banner in my forum saying "Welcome [User Name]", displaying their Profile pic (preferably Gravatar), and links to their profile, inbox, etc.
I have found ways to display user name
{$User.Name}
, I know how to print out the profile links, but I can't seem to find how to display the User's profile pic.Any help would be appreciated.
Hi, @triddent222
really I don't remember any banners with welcome text for user in forum. maybe because i use login integration with site? hm..
At first try to find the file in \forum\ directory where You see these strings or a place where variable with the text is coded in php.
Oh I see. What site are you integrating with? I tried to embed my forum in Wordpress, but I got so many issues I thought it wasn't worth it. Do you know of any guides that could help me with embedding the forum? I think that would make what I'm trying to do much easier.
Thanks!
hand-made site, i use deprecated plugin http://vanillaforums.org/addon/proxyconnect-plugin
If you don't need to embed - I would avoid it - you will be much happier.

Yes, I tried both JsConnect and Proxyconnect with Wordpress, and Proxyconnect works 'better'.
That was my same conclusion
.
Anyway, is there a Smarty tag to display profile pics? Or can I create a new {asset} to include some PHP into my template?
