Photos for user accounts

Post by vojtechmotycka »

Hello,
it is possible to upload or assign photos to users in the MantisBT system. My photos are saved as a file or are available in AcitveDirectory. Using a photo makes it easier to find your way around the system. Best without using a plugin.
Thank you so much for any advice.

Mantisbt supports avatars, one can simply create avatars from photos ( see fe https://lightmv.com/how-to-make-avatar-from-photo.html)

Hi,
How do I upload avtars for user accounts? I have already made these changes to "config_defaults_inc.php"

Code: Select all

$g_show_avatar = ON;
$g_show_avatar_threshold = REPORTER;
thanks

Upload is not possible out of the box.

You could
- install the "Avatars via Gravatar" plugin that comes out of the box with MantisBT and supports www.gravatar.com
- write your own plugin

Ah right, I'm hoping writing a plugin will be quick.

I was hoping there would be a quick way to add custom "file type" field to user profile through admin panel but I can't seem to find it. So I will have to write the "user profile field" and the "file upload/save/retried" code from scratch? Any pointers to this code would be very valuable.

P.S. thanks for your quick reply.

Thanks.
