Is there a way or a plug-in which allows a member to select the friends he would like to show his profile picture to ?

Or if not, could a member choose to show his profile picture only to his friends ?

thanks,
Didier

Hi, Didier.

That's interesting :) Well, to make avatar visible only for selected user will involve a lot of coding... and you'll need to hire a developer.
But if yous hide avatar and show it to all friends only? It can be done with simple hack :D

Go to this file: ROOT/components/com_community/templates/default/modules/profile/userinfo.php
(WARNING! Core file hacking! Please make a safe copy of that file before any changes. It mean also that this file will be overwritten during next JomSocial upgrade. So please make copy of customized file as well)

Edit file in line 69, change this:

				<div class="thumbnail js-focus-avatar">
					<img src="<?php echo $profile->largeAvatar; ?>" alt="<?php echo $this->escape( $user->getDisplayName() ); ?>" />
					<?php if( $isMine || COwnerHelper::isCommunityAdmin() ): ?>
						<b class="js-focus-avatar-option">
							<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="joms.photos.uploadAvatar('profile','<?php echo $profile->id?>')"><?php echo JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_CHANGE_AVATAR')?></a>
						</b>
					<?php endif; ?>
				</div>

with this:

			<?php if($isFriend OR $isMine) { ?>
				<div class="thumbnail js-focus-avatar">
					<img src="<?php echo $profile->largeAvatar; ?>" alt="<?php echo $this->escape( $user->getDisplayName() ); ?>" />
					<?php if( $isMine || COwnerHelper::isCommunityAdmin() ): ?>
						<b class="js-focus-avatar-option">
							<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="joms.photos.uploadAvatar('profile','<?php echo $profile->id?>')"><?php echo JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_CHANGE_AVATAR')?></a>
						</b>
					<?php endif; ?>
				</div>
				<?php } ?>

Now avatar will be show only to profile owner and his/her friends :D

Even more could be done with this condition e.g for all other users only default avatar could be shown or some information... or anything else :)

- Tell us how to replicate the problem, we can't fix it if we can't find it.
- Make sure that your site/server meets JomSocial System Requirements
- Make sure to setup JomSocial Cron Job
- Always provide us with access details to the backend and ftp. We need it to debug problems.
- If you have a similar problem, but a solution you found isn't working, open a new thread instead of 'merging' with an existing one.

- Use the "Thank You" feature on any post that helped you
