I am using Genosis skin. I purchased the Privete Notes module some time ago. Genosis has both the profile picture and also the user picture. Some users change their user pictures as they were tring to change the profile picture because of that i desabled user picture upload/change section. But Private Notes uses user picture instead of profile picture. So in Private Notes nobody has a picture. How can i show profile picture instead of the user picture on Private Notes module?

I believe if you upload a user image and not a profile image, the profile will use the user image, so you could just allow your users to upload a user image.

Thanks Douglas, it worked. But there are so many profiles has no user account. When i want to create an account one of those profiles, it will be confusing.

I see your point. But if your creating the profile(s) yourself via the ACP > Profiles > User Profiles > Tools > Create New Profile, then you should be able to upload an image at the same time of creation.

Actually i imported most of them from a gedcom file. The other additions i made later on was like "add mother", "add father" "add child" ect.

Would it be possible to add a condition to the module such as use the profile image if the user image does not exist. Actually i tried to change the code of the module but i couldn't make it work :(

Private notes is a User-to-user module - that's why it shows User images and NOT profile images (since a profile can have multiple user tied to it). Since a profile cannot sent a PN (only a user can), then the user must be logged in to SEND the PN. In this case, the best thing to do would be to allow them to upload a USER image (i.e don't hide that field).

I know that may not be what you're looking for, but is the easiest way to get it working.

Hope this helps!

In this case, as far as i understood PN module and Genosis skin are not exactly compitable from this point. I think it's not very sensible to tell users that you can have a profile picture but if you want to see your picture in PN you have to upload a user image too. It is very logical to display user image as a profile image when it is uploaded. But as you know the family tree consists of profiles that has no users in the beginning. I will try to change the code of the module again. If i can't be successfull i will remove the user image section from the page because it looks funny this way since the only think you see is an empyt man icon as you are messaging.

Thanks for your help.

You're correct - most Genosis profiles are not going to have an attached user account - but that means no one will be "logging in" as that account to send a Private Note.

Maybe I'm not understanding the issue? From my understanding you want the PROFILE image to show in Private Notes - not the USER image - is that correct? If so, my explanation above is why the user shows.

Let me know.

Thanks!

For example let's say that i create a profile for you in my family tree in the beginning. I uploaded every information and a profile image for you. When the web site is completed i inform you about the web site and i wanted to create a user acoount for you. In this case you will have to upload a picture again to be able to see your image in PN.

Thank again.
