Avatars

Post by Guest »

Hey... I was just wondering if there was a way to... or any plans to implement something like:

www.warbucket.com and
penny-arcade.com

where they have an avatar on the side and then the news/update on the right. I would be excited all over to see something like that.

It's very possible to do using CSS. If you know CSS very well, you can take advantage of the classes that are assigned to authors of entries and use the background-image property to create that type of effect or also by editing the .tpl files.

If you have little skill with CSS/PHP then this information might not help you but I'm sure someone else will come up with something.

Good luck! :)

Added to what digx properly pointed out, there's a plugin called 'Serendipity_event_authorpic' in our Additional Plugins Repository (see our Wiki on s9y.org) which will display a picture of the posting author...
