| Re: Administrator assign other member's avatars? |
| by technigrafa on 2005/9/3 15:00:05 All of this client's members are entered by the organization, so technically they could set a temporary password for new members and log in as them and set their avatar, but they didn't want to do that with like 40 people. So I think we will get by with me just associating images they upload for members to their member profiles using phpmyadmin. They don't expect to have a lot of new users once these main ones are added. Thanks again for your help though. I will check out that post that you linked to. |

| by adrock on 2005/9/3 1:02:54 Do the members actually register themselves, or are you advised as to when new members will be coming or need to be added? You could ask the administration staff to send you their info and picture, and use This method to add their avatar to the existing avatar list, and create the accounts for them...then the email that is sent from XOOPS to notify them of account activation would go out, and they'd be all set-up and wouldn't have to deal with it at all. Thats sort of my job at SBC...I get lists from the HR dept. and have to create user profiles for different domains, hosted apps, and networked directories based on the information submitted by their dept head. ...sorry...I have a touch of cabin fever at the moment, so it keeps spinning around un my head!

| by adrock on 2005/9/2 17:42:31 okay...here's another possible solution... look at this link for the member photo 'hack'. Once you have that installed, you could go through all of the templates for the forums and what not and add the smarty call for the member photo to the location where the avatar smarty call is. This would then replace all occurances of the avatar with the users photo, and the user can submit the photo when they register. I realize that this is not exactly what you were looking for, but it's closer than the first suggestion and would only require messing around with the backend/database once, and things would be good going forward. Good luck with it all...and don't forget to share whatever your final solution is with the rest of us Might be that others are looking for the same thing but just haven't asked.Happy Xoopsing! |
