User Avatar in Messages web part

Hi!

I have created a custom web part to display the user messages using the CMS Query repeater. I am using a transformation, query name, and where condition properties to display the messages from DB.
I am able able to get all the data for a message from my transformation, but not able to display the Avatar of the Message Sender. I am using the transformation method GetUserAvatarImage() and passing the required parameters.

Can any one please help me in this issue.

Thank You,

Naresh

RE:User Avatar in Messages web part

Hi,

could you please try to use following transformation code? The code uses this method:
GetUserAvatarImage(object avatarID, object userID, int maxSideSize, int width, int height, object alt)

<%# GetUserAvatarImage(CMSContext.CurrentUser.UserAvatarID, CMSContext.CurrentUser.UserID, 100, 100, 100, "altDescription") %>

It will dispaly avatar image of current user.

Best regards,
Ivana Tomanickova

But, I have solved the issue. I have created a custom query, now am able to get the avatar. Thank you, Naresh

Kentico Developer	kentico_ivanat - 11/29/2011 8:20:50 AM RE:User Avatar in Messages web part Hi, the image is stored in the table CMS_Settings, UserPicture column. You can use user API to get value of this column using GetValue method. Best regards, Ivana Tomanickova
