Hello again.

I have installed the plugin for user profiles. According to the description it "Shows simple user profiles and allows to embed author pictures". What I want to know is where do you add the picture? I don't see an upload form or a place to embed the code.

Thanks.

Hi!

In the configuration of the plugin, where you enabled whether to show author pictures, the descriptions instructs you what to do:

If enabled, a picture for the user will be shown within each entry to
visually indicate who has written the entry. The image file must be placed in the "img" Subfolder of your selected
template and be called like the authorname. All special characters (quotes, spaces, ...) must be replaced by an "_"
inside the filename.

So: You need to store the pictures for authors inside the "img" subdirectory of your current template directory. The files need to be named like the author (including the right upper/lowercasing). All characters except A-Z and numbers need to be replaced with a "_", and the file extension must be the one you specified in the configuration of this plugin. For an author "John Doe" you would need the file /templates/default/img/John_Doe.jpg for example.

Garvin
