Drupal 6.13
Civicrm 2.2.8
No synchronisation between drupal users and civicrm contacts.

I wanted to add a picture to a civicrm contact. I added a custom field 'file'. The picture is showing up in civicrm.
I created a view with drupal views2 to show some of my contacts.
I want to show the picture there as well. How do I do this?

Found another way to Rome:
Edit your view.
Click on 'information' next to theme.
Look at the field you want to display (for me it was foto_18).  You'll find the template names drupal will look for.
Copy views-view-field.tpl.php from sites/all/modules/views/theme and rename it to one of the names drupal is mentioning (in my case: views-view-field--foto-18.tpl.php).
Open the file, do a query in there to show the picture. Upload to your theme directory and click 'rescane template files' at the view-theme information page.
This way I show my picture and at the same time with the right CSS attached to it.

which might be a good point to ask if the collective wisdom that if we are wanting to be able to have user profiles in drupal including the uploaded image - is it better to think about uploading the image via drupal rather than via civicrm - and if the goal is to enable photo uploading at time of registration (which civi doesn't allow if my memory is correct) then is it likely to be less work to have a registration process that uses some civicrm and some cck fields (for photo upload eg) or to extend civicrm to we can enable photo upload as part of rego??
