Answered How do i call the username and display a photo that relates to the user

Good evening,

I am reworking a site (reworking, because after I followed the directions to move the site it lost everything and produced errors) that is similar to a editorial. It has Written by (User) | Posted [[*publishedon]]
But I would like it to display a photo (images/editors/(username).jpg) that displays the photo of the user that modified the page or created the page.

I had it written before but I cannot for the life of me remember how I got it to work. Can someone please assist me. I have tried creating a TV a Chunk and a snippet but neither seems to work the way it once did.

Hi blaqueberry,

Are you using GetResources? If you are, add this to your tpl:



As for the photo, I'm not quite sure as I've never done it before. But it should be pretty simple.

I got this information from the Create a Blog tutorial, found here:

[[+createdby:userinfo=photo]] - the rtfm on output modifiers has a whole section on getting user info.

Wow, I think this my be the first thread ever on this topic that doesn't use the technically incorrect phrase "output filters."
For the curious, MODX has only one "output filter." It applies any of the many possible output modifiers.

I'm off to pop open the champagne.
