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.
