Forum Plugin: Avatar in {SYS_MENU}

[KyleClarkeNZ]

Hi,

I'm wondering if someone could please help me with a little mod to the CPG Forum Plugin. I'd like to use the users avatar as the icon next to "My Profile" instead of the yellow no-face-man icon. I'm sure it's really simple but I'm still trying to figure out some of this php/sql stuff.

Thanks in advance,

Kyle

Wow, that's awesome. Thank you so much for your help. It's very clear and easy for me to try and figure out how you've done it. Really appreciate it.

I edited the theme.php like you said but I don't see nothing.How can I ad an avatar to my profile?

How can I ad an avatar to my profile?

Exactly as explained above. If it doesn't work for you, double check the instructions and your theme.php file and if it still doesn't work, start a new thread and post more information (e.g. a link to your gallery, your theme.php file, which plugins you use, etc.).
