# Author Image Plugin?

 * I’m looking for a plug-in that can automatically associate an image in a specific
   folder with a post author and display that image in a post. If there is no image
   for an author, there should be no error message. You can see an example for the
   effect I want at my test site, [http://www.gilesrd.com/](http://www.gilesrd.com/).
   Rather than manually insert the image, I want the plugin to do it for me (and
   my authors, who aren’t very computer saavy). Any suggestions? Please provide 
   links.
 * Thanks and Merry Christmas!

 * Your site seems to have been down for a while… oh, finally it’s there… just very
   slow to respond.
 * So you want to manage different directories that contain images of different 
   authors,.The built-in image upload feature in WordPress 2.0 is close, but not
   ideal. What I suggest you do is teach your colleagues/friends how to use an FTP
   client and enable them to list the content of the directory where their images
   are put. The image location can then be copies and pasted into the post.
 * As I said, it’s worth looking at image management in WordPress 2.0 which will
   be officially released very, very soon.

 * Actually, I came up with my own fix. I included an img src tag right before the
   tag that displays the post content. I included an align=”right” instruction and
   a variable that would pull out the author’s user ID number. That ID is appended
   to a path where all author images reside, named with their user numbers . So 
   when I post a message, it automatcially pulls up the image named 1.jpg and voila!
 * You can see the results at the Web site, which is now live at [http://www.wickenburg-az.com/](http://www.wickenburg-az.com/).
   What’s cool is that if there is no picture, there’s no error message.
 * Not a bad fix for someone who know squat about PHP, huh?
 * But thanks for your help!

 * mlanger – would you mind sharing where you put the code and all that? I want 
   to do something similar on my site (users are begging for it). Thanks so much!
