Image of poster mod

[fiasco]

Is there a mod that will include a thumbnail of the author of each particular post? Maybe just a tiny thumbnail next to the poster's name.

Here is a thread that talks about this. It isn't hardcoded into the system, but rather a trick of how you use your templates:

I think that will work for now, thanks coldstone.

Bringing back a dead thread here, But I'm having some issues trying to use <img src="{{authorname}}_avatar.png" /> to embed a poster's avatar into each topic posted.

Here is my current template for <Index Entry Template: Standard Entries>:

<div class="content">
<br />
<p>{{authorsmartlink}} | {{hourhour}}:{{minuteminute}} {{ampm}} {{timezone}} <img valign="top" align="right" src="{{authorname}}_avatar.png" /></p>
<div style="background-color:#320001;"><h4>|AMP|nbsp;{{entrysubject}}</h4></div>
<p>{{smartentrymusic}}
{{smartentrymood}}<br />
{{entrymainbody}}
<div align="right">{{commentslink}}<a href="{{pagelink}}" title="{{monthmonth}}/{{dayday}}/{{year}}: {{entrysubject}}">Article Link</a></div>
</p>
</div>

each time I try to use {{authorname}} i get a broken link with all web browsers, as the page is trying to call URL/%7B%7Bauthorname%7D%7D_avatar.png instead of the Authorname )in this case Staminatic_avatar.png.

Any Suggestions?

Ahh, you caught a typo of mine. I am going to update the file.

The correct variable is {{author}} not 'authorname'. My apologies for that. Greymatter ships with a file gm_manual.html which gives a good listing of variables that can be used in Greymatter templates. It may not be complete, but its on my todo to audit it.

Thanks a bunch, I'm still fairly noobish with GM, so even looking through the gm_manual probably wouldn't have helped much!

Thats cool, just wanted to let you know its out there. It could use a redesign to be more user friendly.
