That's not a bad idea at all and it would be a good way to learn about Roller internals.
Take a look at the weblog object, which provides an image for the weblog itself, allowing either an image URL or an image path int he file uploads area -- you could take a similar approach. With the code in trunk, it is now possible to associate name/value pairs with any user, so you would not even need to add a new database column to the roller_user table. If you have questions about the Roller code, this is the right place to ask them. - Dave On Mon, Feb 23, 2009 at 7:44 PM, Lauchlin Wilkinson <[email protected]> wrote: > I've been using roller for a while now as the blog software for my > website and have recently been thinking about making some > modifications so I can contribute back to the project. > > So far I have been working on adding the ability to add an avatar to a > users profile.
