I'm using ImageCache, ImageField and Content Profile to create my user profiles and I'd like to offer different default images if the user doesn't upload one.

Currently, ImageField offers a default image if none is uploaded but how can you show your user a lists of profile images in order to let them select one or upload their own ?

I'm looking to get something like this:

Select different profile images
Of course if the user upload one it will be used on their profile.

Any module you can recommend me or custom code to achieve this ? Does the Gravatar module allow this ?

Thanks a lot.

Use this module - Avatar Selection.

Does exactly what you're looking for.

  • Hum, so I had a look at it and it's almost what I'm looking for, it's used for avatars which imply you allow images for users (admin/user/settings) but I'm using ImageCache and also ImageField which is used to determine the profile image. So it's quite there but not. I'd rather have a "ImageCache Default Selection" module :).

  • Ok we finally rewrote our field and use the $user->picture to use this module. Thanks.

The Gravatar module currently allows the site administrator to choose the default image to use if the user doesn't have a Gravatar (including all the choices you've presented above), but this applies on a site-wide basis --- users cannot choose their own Gravatar variant, though they can still upload their own image if desired.

If you do end up developing support for per-user Gravatar variant switching, consider supporting this feature request, which anticipates similar functionality: http://drupal.org/node/1172546 .

  • I'm not very fond of using Gravatar for this solution because I can't control the default images.
