A light and simple Joomla plugin for creating profile picture for your users.

Profile Picture

Profile Picture is a Joomla package that enables your users to upload their profile picture to your Joomla website. It includes the following extensions:

• Profile Picture User Plugin - This is the main plugin that allows your users to upload, remove and change their profile picture. Administrator too can manage these pictures in Joomla's Users Manager.

• Profile Picture Library - Profile Picture library provides API for third party developers to access and display users' profile picture.

How to use

It's super easy to use profile picture in your existing codes. Make sure to load the ProfilePicture library first:

jimport('profilepicture.profilepicture');

Create a ProfilePicture instance and pass the user ID:

$profilepicture = new ProfilePicture(1);

Use the toHTML method to output the IMG element for the user's profile picture. If profile picture for the user does not exists, the filler image will be shown:

echo $profilepicture->toHTML();

There are 3 sizes defined as constants in Profile Picture:

• PROFILEPICTURE_SIZE_ORIGINAL
• PROFILEPICTURE_SIZE_50
• PROFILEPICTURE_SIZE_200

By default, toHTML will output using PROFILEPICTURE_SIZE_200. You may specify the profile picture size by passing the size constant to toHTML method:

echo $profilepicture->toHTML(PROFILEPICTURE_SIZE_50);

The toHTML method also allows you to specify the ALT attribute and additional attributes for the IMG element:

echo $profilepicture->toHTML(PROFILEPICTURE_SIZE_50, 'Lee', ['class' => 'profile', 'id' => 'lee-profile-picture']);

Here's a full example that displays the currently logged in user's profile picture.

jimport('profilepicture.profilepicture');

$user = JFactory::getUser();

$profilepicture = new ProfilePicture($user->get('id'));

echo $profilepicture->toHTML(PROFILEPICTURE_SIZE_200, $user->get('name'));

The library also includes the following methods: getFillerURL, getURL, getPath and exists. You can pass the size constant to refer to a specific size, otherwise it will defaults to PROFILEPICTURE_SIZE_200.

Requirements

Joomla 3.4 and GD image library support for PHP.
