No Avatar field yet! It's hardcoded in the template. It should be easy to add a custom field to the auth_user table following these instructions: http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/09/access-control?search=auth_user#Customizing-Auth
Then you can upload an avatar using the user profile page. I haven't done this with images but it should be straight forward (it's on my todo list!) You can also designate a dedicated folder for the avatar uploads so they're not commingled with other upload files ... http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/07/forms-and-validators?search=upload#SQLFORM-and-uploads On Thursday, March 24, 2016 at 3:03:41 PM UTC-4, Ron Chatterjee wrote: > > I am sorry, I was having some problem downloading the latest version so > everything is good.
