Link Image to Post?

Is there an easy mod to link the user photo to the post that it's displaying next to rather than the profile page?

You really need to photoshop and upload some sample images of what you want.

A picture is worth a thousand words and you only have 22 words which don't specify much.

Open up /plugins/IndexPhotos/class.indexphotos.plugin.php and replace the DisplayPhoto method with the one below:

protected function DisplayPhoto($Sender) {
  // Build user object & output photo
  $FirstUser = UserBuilder($Sender->EventArguments['Discussion'], 'First');
  $Photo = ChangeBasename($FirstUser->Photo, 'n%s');
  echo Anchor(Img(Gdn_Upload::Url($Photo), array('class' => 'ProfilePhotoMedium')), $Sender->EventArguments['DiscussionUrl']);
}

Tested in 2.0.18.8 on Firefox.

NOTE - This is changing the expected behavior on the discussions list. The consistent expected behavior in Vanilla when clicking on an avatar, is being linked to that profile. I would caution against using it.

Thanks, I understand that this is bit of expected behavior but I'm worried my users will think that they are going to the post from that page. I will consider, thanks.

Something seems to be off with the code, all of my image urls had an 'n' in them so I removed the 'n' from 'n%s' line 4 and it seemed to work.

Thanks

the n distinguishes between the thumbnail or the full pic in
