Hi guys! I'm new here.. but I didn't find anything around this topic I want to add more fields to each member. And I did that in the admin, but I can't add my Profile picture field that I want. Do I need to make an add-on script to get that added to a user? And if so.. how do I go around doing that? I can make a link to that profile picture page under Useful Links probably, but how do I get the username and password for the user that is already logged in? so I can use that when I add a picture to the database.. And last question: How do I print out the fields in the "data" field in the user_table on a regular website?
My first thought is just a standard upload form on your member profile page. A couple of things that come to mind are: 1) Does the profile picture have to be secure at all or can anyone see it? If not, just store the image as the membername.jpg (for example) 2) Any restrictions / processing on the image that is required? (downgrade to 640x480 jpeg, etc)
Have you thought about using a CMS or Forum system which has all this stuff done already? PHPBB3 has a memberlist feature. David
