Forums / Cotonti / General / Moar questions ;)

oh, are you not using Siena? As {USERS_DETAILS_AVATAR} should put out: "datas/avatars/file.jpg" so yeah <img src="{USERS_DETAILS_AVATAR}" width="xx" height="xx" /> that would work. 

Anyway after logging in and looking at your html code it is setting the width and hight in your html. You need to remove the width and height from the image tag.

<img src="datas/defaultav/blank.png" alt="Avatar" width="75px" height="75px">

If the tag is producing HTML (Which it shouldn't) then you will need to edit the tag in it's php file (very minor core hack). 

Yeah that makes sense. The only problem he is having is he cant resize the avatar but that is because as I said before the width and hight values are being set in the html...

I have to apologise Kingsley, I was looking at the wrong part like an idiot... 

Ok having a look at your css and html I can see you are setting the dimensions for the box the avatar image is inside but I can't see where you are setting the dimensions for the avatar image itself. As I set an avatar of 100 x 100px I can see that it pushes itself well out of the box set to 45 x 45px. 

#userava
    {
    float: left; 
    padding: 3px; 
    border: 1px solid #d2d2d2; 
    margin-bottom: 4px;
    }
    
.useravabox
    {
    width: 45px;
    height: 45px;
    }

So where can I find the css for the classes userimg and avatar? As one of these should have the dimensions you wish to set the image for...

Okay, I found this:

#avatar{
  width:35px;
  height:35px;
}

This needs to be a class so swap # with .

Or perhaps that is for something else altogether, I cannot tell... 

Yeah I can't remember which of your css files I found it in. I think it was default.css or styles.css, something like that...

If you are giving it it's own div then you should try the method I gave you before, so if its like this: <div id="divname"><img src="imge"></div> then in your css you would need to put it like this: #divname img {width: xxpx; height: xxpx;} at the very least you can see if any other styles in your css are conflicting, causing it to ignor your new style...

But also check the core files to make sure that what ever tag you are using is not putting out html, just to make sure, it doesn't look like it is... 

So just so I understand you properly, the tag you are using is putting out html otherwise it wouldn't work? 

Thats what I mean though, if you dont have to put <img src="..." /> in your tpl file and you are only using a tag to display the avatar then the tag must output the html for it to work. would you mind just pasting the line of code for the avatar please?

Yeah, as I said for this to work:

<div id="useravatar">{USERS_DETAILS_AVATAR}</div>

The tag would have to output the image tags as well. I am guessing you are not using Siena because as far as I know tags do not output any html. 

Also I noticed you used this tag: {PHP.urr.user_name} I thought that would only load the username for who ever is logged in for some reason, but I checked and it doesn't on your site, which is also interesting. I guess I do not understand Cotonti as well as I thought. 

Well everyday is a school day, thanks for taking the time to paste this dude.

Also I noticed in your profile pages, example: user/demo if you have not selected a country or sex, etc it displays:  ---  |  you can tidy this up with the IF statments ;)

I think it was looking in the core files, I saw how Cot builds its tags. 

$t->assign(cot_generate_usertags($urr, 'USERS_DETAILS_', '', true));

Without looking at it again I thought $urr carried stuff over to other parts. Anyways if in the database a users avatar is stored as a link to the image, so "datas/avatars/imagename.jpg" then the tag should only put out "datas/avatars/imagename.jpg" so I don't understand where it is getting the "<img src="" /> part from, to be able to just use the tag in your tpl file to display the image? It's a little confusing...
