Replace Sidebar Visitor Panel Image?

[DRE]

How do you replace the sidebar_visitor_panel image? I keep getting a broken image link.

The avatar in the visitor panel?

The avatar in the visitor panel?

Yes sir!

When I was messing around with it I tried using this code

<a href="{xen:link account/personal-details}"><img src="{$user.customFields.customsidebarimage}" height="190" width="190" /></a>

something like that but it kept coming up with a broken image.

Presumably you want to use $visitor instead of $user.

Didn't work.

I assume "customsidebarimage" is a field_id of a custom user field? And I assume your user has something entered into that field in his profile?

Try debugging the output of {$visitor.customFields.customsidebarimage} by adding that variable to the top of the template. That should allow you to see the output directly on the page.

It's a custom userfield and no that didn't work either.

 

[DRE]

Wait how do you debug whatever you just said? I did remove the custom userfield though and just used the direct link of the picture instead.

Look at the source code of the page. Find the img tag where you used that custom field. Confirm that the value is showing correctly in the source.

Thanks I had written the url wrong. I even have the CSS lined up for this perfect now!!!
