Hi,

I would like to display the user image (the one which admin can upload when he creates a new user).
I found this post:
http://ez.no/community/forum/general/user_image
and tried the given solution without success.

{$user|attribute(show)} doesn't display any image attribute.

Hi Pascal
Which user?
user who is currently logged in or owner of current object? mayby all users?

if you want to display image of current user:

{def $user=fetch( 'user', 'current_user' ) }
{if $user.data_map.image.has_content}
   {attribute_view_gui attribute=$user.data_map.image image_class=small}
{/if}
U have to be logged in (anonymous has not a photo)
(U can use {if $user.is_logged_in} too)

if U want to display owner' image:

{def $owner=$node.object.owner $owner_map=$owner.data_map}
{if $owner_map.image.has_content}
{attribute_view_gui attribute=$owner_map.image image_class=small}
{/if}
{undef}

for all users use:

{def $users=fetch( 'content', 'list', hash(parent_node_id, USERS_GROUP_NODE_ID) ) }
{foreach $users as $user}
 {if $user.data_map.image.has_content}
   {attribute_view_gui attribute=$user.data_map.image image_class=small}
 {/if}
{/foreach}

Hi Marcin,

Yes, it is the image of the logged user I want to display.
I don't know why, but:

{def $user=fetch( 'user', 'current_user' )}
{if $user.is_logged_in}
 {attribute_view_gui attribute=$user.data_map.image image_class=small}
{/if}

does not return anything.

As I told in my first post, {$user|attribute(show)} doesn't display any "image" attribute, then I think "data_map.image" can't work.

The admin interface uses this template:
design/admin/templates/content/edit.tpl
which includes:
design/admin/templates/content/edit_attribute.tpl
which uses this other one:
design/standard/templates/content/datatype/edit/ezimage.tpl
to display the user image in the user edit view (this line:
{attribute_view_gui image_class=ezini( 'ImageSettings', 'DefaultEditAlias', 'content.ini' ) attribute=$attribute} displays the user image).

First, I don't understand how edit_attribute.tpl calls ezimage.tpl ?
Second, I don't understand how to reuse:

{attribute_view_gui image_class=ezini( 'ImageSettings', 'DefaultEditAlias', 'content.ini' ) attribute=$attribute}

I have found a mistake:
should be:

{attribute_view_gui attribute=$user.contentobject.data_map.image image_class=small}

and it works

Thinks a lot Marcin.

Now it works.
I looked for in the documentation but I didn't found anywhere how to do that.

Is there other attributes I can access with $user.contentobject ? How can display the list of these attributes ?

Hi
U can use

{$user.contentobject|attribute(show,1)}
{$user.contentobject|attribute(show,2)}, etc.but be careful with 4, 5 !!

try with too:
{$user|attribute(show,2)}
