  • traq replied on the discussion topic elgg db -> user's profile icons in the group Plugin Development
    Hi - I'm trying my hand at writing my first plugin for elgg 1.5, and I would like to know if anyone can point me to where info about a user's profile picture is in the db.  I want to call the pic and username (found the username) and display...
    •  

      In my (Windows) installation its under the "data" tree that is setup at installation time, so for a user name "John" the folder path is:

          ...\J\o\h\n\John\profile

      If you install the photo album, the photo folders are in:

           ...\J\o\h\n\John\image

       

    • thanks very much.

      It occured to me that there is already some method by which elgg finds user icons, so I dug around a little and found that doing this...

      /mod/profile/icondirect.php?username=john&size=medium

      is all I needed.
