Thank you very much for your help, really.
I can now crop it as I want, but when it is displayed on the profile, it is still square and not the cropped image in a rectangle.Could you tell me why?
By default, Elgg config has these sizes for avatars:
'icon_sizes' => [ 'topbar' => ['w' => 16, 'h' => 16, 'square' => true, 'upscale' => true], 'tiny' => ['w' => 25, 'h' => 25, 'square' => true, 'upscale' => true], 'small' => ['w' => 40, 'h' => 40, 'square' => true, 'upscale' => true], 'medium' => ['w' => 100, 'h' => 100, 'square' => true, 'upscale' => true], 'large' => ['w' => 200, 'h' => 200, 'square' => true, 'upscale' => true], 'master' => ['w' => 10240, 'h' => 10240, 'square' => false, 'upscale' => false, 'crop' => false], ],where,w - width,h - height,You can override this config via custom plugin.
Use My plugin again.
1 - Open elgg-plugin.php and add this code before last ];
'events' => [ 'entity:icon:sizes' => [ 'group' => [ \MyPlugin\SetIconSizes::class => [], ], 'user' => [ \MyPlugin\SetIconSizes::class => [], ], ], ],Be careful, all symbols are important.2 - Create a new file\mod\my_plugin\classes\MyPlugin\SetIconSizes.php3 - Open SetIconSizes.php and add this example codeChange w\h on your custom sizes.You can ignore some sizes, e.g. small, tiny; just use default sizes and values.You may need to clear the cache - run 'Upgrade' via administration.Please note:
- you need to recreate your avatars to overwrite previously saved icons on your server,
- Elgg's design may not be compatible with your custom icon sizes so there may be some issues in UI.
It worked perfectly! Thank you so much, really. You saved me. Big hug.
