Theme a contact image
August 19, 2009, 07:39:43 pm
I followed these instructions: http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,40.0.html

to add a photo to my contacts. However the 100px by 100px forcing of the image is not a very beautiful way of presenting it.

What is the best way to theme an image which has been added using custom fields? I would like to have it in the top right of a contact view page making a more "Profile" view, rather than being stuck down at the bottom of the contact.

Also, is there anyway to make a default image appear if one is not available?

Thanks a lot! Adam

a patch to scale the image better would be great and highly appreciated. A few folks have commented on that, but has not been important enought for a patch to be contributed :(. The code for that is localized in 2 places i think

Your best bet would be to customize the template and place the image where you want it, check:

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Customize+Built-in,+Profile,+Contribution+and+Event+Registration+Screens

your customized template can put a default image if one does not exist

Hi Lobo,

Thanks a lot, I'm just not completely sure how I should be pulling custom fields out of database and into themes. My theming of existing fields has been fine and works well but I can't seem to pull custom fields out.

Also the 100px x 100px size seems to be hardcoded into the image rather than styled so I don't see where that is being added to the image tag.

Thanks,

Adam

1. for the custom data on civicrm view screen, the values are stored in 'viewCustomData'. You can also pull them out in a pageRun hook and reformat it and assign another smarty variable to make it easier in the template

2. the two files where we set the image size to 100x100 are:

templates/CRM/Custom/Page/CustomDataView.tpl
CRM/Core/BAO/CustomField.php

Ideally we should have the same ratio as the original image to make it look decent. Would be great of your team could submit an issue and file a patch for this (should be fairly easy)

thanx

Hi Lobo,

We're looking to have a patch for this soon we hope. We'll patch it so that it handles image resizing and then allow others to theme it as they choose. Will let you know once I have more info.

Thanks,

Adam

Adam, was any progress ever made on this solution?  I have been working on custom profile pages and displaying large images is a requirement I was hoping to meet.
