[Plugin: User photo] front end upload
-
In an attempt to create a front end “profile edit” page, I stumbled upon this topic: Custom Edit Profile Page.
There you can find a working page template for a front end edit profile page. However, the upload function of the user photo plugin doesn’t work in that template.
After fiddling about for a bit, I found the following solution to get it to work. You need to add the encryption type to the form element. So:
<form name="profile" action="" method="post">
Becomes:
<form name="profile" action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">I wanted to post this in the topic mentioned above, but found that it was closed. Is it possible for a moderator to add link there to this solution?

Thank you!!
Thank you Yoris!
I’m using the Custom Profile Edit page you refer to. Thing is, I would like to use square thumbs for the user avatars. There is a plugin for that too, the ‘Square Thumbs for User Photo’ (good guess).
Is there a possibility to integrate this square-being-thing in the front end?Like to hear from any of you 🙂
i found this article and i have to say that is very useful,
i try to make it work but with no luck till now,can anyone help here on how to, cause the topic here is closed.
thanks a lot
ok, here is a working solution for the Cimy User Extra Fields plugin,
<tr> <th><label for="photo">Photo</label></th> <?php $value = get_cimyFieldValue($user_ID, 'PHOTO'); ?> <td> <img src="<?php echo cimy_uef_sanitize_content($value); ?>" alt="" width="100" /><br/> <input name="cimy_uef_PHOTO_oldfile" value="<?php echo cimy_uef_sanitize_content($value); ?>" type="hidden"/> Update the picture<br/> <input id="photo" name="cimy_uef_PHOTO" value="" type="file"/> <br/>Delete the picture <input name="cimy_uef_PHOTO_del" value="1" type="checkbox"/> </td> </tr>you can simple included in your form after you have create a new image field in the plugin options.
keep in mind that in the code i use an image field named ‘PHOTO’, but can be used for all the fields/field types you create from the plugin.
hope you find it useful,
thanks to the community!
Hi,
To follow up on Philip’s post. I have a custom front end, which I found here and modified.
but what I was wondering is how can we have a “user photo” uppload on the front end where it will allow us to upload and display the uploaded file just like in the wp-admin side.
Thanks,
Aaron
Hi,
I dug and I got the solution for the User Photo plugin.
1 = Open your theme function.php and call Thickbox in frontend:
function tb_enqueue() { wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’); wp_enqueue_script(‘thickbox’); } function tb_inject() { ?> <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?= get_option(‘siteurl’); ?>/<?= WPINC; ?>/js/thickbox/thickbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" /> <script type="text/javascript"> var tb_pathToImage = "<?= get_option(‘siteurl’); ?>/<?= WPINC; ?>/js/thickbox/loadingAnimation.gif"; var tb_closeImage = "<?= get_option(‘siteurl’); ?>/<?= WPINC; ?>/js/thickbox/tb-close.png" </script> <?php } add_action(‘wp_head’, ‘tb_enqueue’, 1); add_action(‘wp_footer’, ‘tb_inject’, 10);2 = Call User Photo frontend:
<div id="user-avatar-display" > <h3>Avatar</h3> <p id="user-avatar-display-image"><?php echo get_avatar( $current_user->ID, 150);?></p> <a id="user-avatar-link" class="button thickbox" href="<?php echo admin_url('admin-ajax.php'); ?>?action=user_avatar_add_photo&step=1&uid=<?php echo $current_user->ID; ?>&TB_iframe=true&width=720&height=450" title="Personalizza il tuo Avatar" >Cambia Avatar</a> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> function user_avatar_refresh_image(img){ jQuery('#user-avatar-display-image').html(img); } </script>3 = open your css your theme and add :
#user-avatar-display { background-color: #000; border:1px solid #454545; -moz-border-radius: 5px; -webkit-border-radius:5px;margin: 0 auto; padding: 0 20px 20px; position: absolute; right: 250px; text-align: center; top: 390px; } #user-avatar-display-image{ border:4px solid #323232; width:150px; height:150px; } #user-avatar-link{ float:left; margin:15px 0 15px 32px; font-size:13px; }http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/4346/userphotofrontend.png
P.S: Beware of formatting quotes ”
I discovered another thing: if you use on your blog PrettyPhoto or similar you can call the function without Thickbox.
eg PrettyPhoto will use the following code:
<a id="user-avatar-link" href="<?php echo admin_url('admin-ajax.php'); ?>?action=user_avatar_add_photo&step=1&uid=<?php echo $current_user->ID; ?>?iframe=true&width=520&height=350" rel="prettyPhoto[iframes]">Cambia Avatar</a>@ Fask,
thanks for this hack for Userphoto frontend modifying.
This is exactly what i’m looking for and i have tested it on my website. unfortunately, when i click on the ‘Change avatar’ link, it only opens a empty blank page (actually it displays a ‘0’ in the left upper corner) and the thickbox UI doesn’t appear : would you have any idea about what i’m doing wrong ?I forgot to say that we must add:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js?ver=1.3.2"></script>before the closing tag </head>
thanks for this quick answer, even if it hasn’t solve the issue 🙁
i’m still trying my way through it…So I dug. Here’s the solution:
before </head>:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js?ver=1.3.2"></script>call UserPhoto with prettyphoto:
<a id="user-avatar-link" href="<?php echo admin_url('admin-ajax.php'); ?>?action=user_avatar_add_photo&step=1&uid=<?php echo $current_user->ID; ?>?iframe=true&width=520&height=350" rel="prettyPhoto[iframes]">Cambia Avatar</a>just below add:
<script type='text/javascript'> var swrAjax = { ajaxurl: "http://your_blog.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php" }; </script>Replace “your_blog” with the URL of your site. Let me know
Just tried to follow this example, and I have the same problem. On digging a bit, the example seems to be for http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/user-avatar/ the user-avatar plugin, not the user-photo plugin.
my fault. the trick is for user avatars, it is true
@ Fask + mattbeck
thanks for all these details : i’ve tried it with user-avatar plugin and it seems to works rather fine using thickbox. take caresomething is definitely still missing, or there’s an other trick or smth.
I even installed those pretty photos thing, with the same result:when I click the link I get a white page and in the left upper corner a
“-1”What’s that !??!
Anyone can help please?Thanks
PS: i installed that user-avatar plugin
