Thanks for such a useful plugin :)</p> <p>But unfogtunately I have a little bug, let me name it like that. Profile page have two "Avatar" tabs.

I can't find it now, but basically it enforced a min height for the reply so it would never be shorter than the avatar. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-avatar-upload/page/4#post-14822 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 16:52:50 +0000 CoreForce 14822@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I'm very pleased with the Avatar Upload, great work. Also I like the integration into bbpress a lot, it's really straight forward.</p> <p>Only one small visual glitch that I noticed is that for avatars even when resized to 100x100 max, with small (1 line) posts the avatar image will overlap into the portion of next post, rendering the next user name unreadable. The callout for the img code has been included where suggested by the docs. Anyone else did recognize this as a problem?</p> <p>I'm using version 0.8.3 of the plugin (avatar-upload.0.8.3.zip).</p> <p>Thanks. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-avatar-upload/page/4#post-14523 Mon, 17 Mar 2008 20:26:07 +0000 NeutralX2 14523@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Very nice plugin. It works great. Quick question though:</p> <p>Is it possible to get rid of the "Upload Avatar" tab to the Profile menu? I just don't have the room for another option on the menu. How would I go about removing the tab and adding a "Upload Avatar" link to the profile page? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-avatar-upload/page/4#post-14377 Mon, 10 Mar 2008 04:59:56 +0000 itissue 14377@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>This plugin is simply wonderful.

To use thumbnails you have to enable the feature in the plugin file itself, it is not configurable in the admin options page.</p> <p>1. Open up <code>bb-avatar-upload.php</code> and in the configuration settings class, scroll down to the following section:<br /> <pre><code>// Use a thumbnail image (hidden feature for now). 1 = yes / 0 = no (default) $this-&gt;use_thumbnail = 0; $this-&gt;thumb_width = 25; $this-&gt;thumb_height = 25;</code></pre> <p>Set <code>$this-&gt;use_thumbnail</code> to <code>1</code> to enable and change the dimensions if desired.</p> <p>When enabled, whenever a user uploads an avatar a smaller copy is created with the prefix '<code>thumb.</code>' So the avatar <code>username.jpg</code> will have a thumbnail called <code>thumb.username.jpg</code> (the file type changes with the avatar file type, so PNG avatars produce PNG thumbnails etc).</p> <p>2. You can access the thumbnail image with the following function call:<br /> <code>echo avatarupload_displaythumb($user-&gt;ID);</code><br /> An image tag is returned with the class name <code>avatar_thumb</code>.<br /> <code>&lt;img src=&quot;thumb.username.jpg&quot; width=&quot;25&quot; height=&quot;25&quot; alt=&quot;Username&quot; class=&quot;avatar_thumb&quot;&gt;</code><br /> I think that covers everything, let me know if you have any problems. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-avatar-upload/page/4#post-10871 Sat, 08 Sep 2007 14:53:24 +0000 louisedade 10871@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Yeah... sorry I didn't get a chance to look at it last weekend.
