 I don't know what they are called, but when the system shows of a member, there is a little silhouette of man or woman above the username??? How do I make that go away. I think I want just the name, as a hyperlink to the profile page, if that is possible. |
The silhouette appears when the member has NOT uploaded an avatar (or profile photo 7.1) There are several different sizes of these profile thumbnails. Give me a list of page urls where you want these to go away, and I'll post specific instructions. These are very simple css changes, but I want to make sure I give you the correct information.

Hi, and thanks again for your insights. On this particular issue, I manually changed all the silouette picture files to a 1 pixel high line. That got them off the page, but left the boxes they used to be in. There is another icon that indicates online, or offline in the upper right corner of these now outline boxes with a thin gray line in the middle. At some point I need to rework that whole section so that it displays a custom picture, larger than it is now, and shows more information about that user, than simply the user name. |
RE: On this particular issue, I manually changed all the silouette picture files to a 1 pixel high line. That got them off the page, but left the boxes they used to be in. Not a good solution. You need to use Firefox with the Firebug extension to inspect elements that you want to alter. To use Firebug, you MUST have all caching turned off in admin. Fire bug will point you to the exact line of a specific css file wher the css rule for that element are located. To make an element go away, add the css rule display:none; to the css selector.

Thanks you for your insight. I agree that was not a proper solution. But as usual, I had to do something immediately, and that was the only think I could think of at the time, that actually showed the owner, that I was at least trying to follow his instructions. I have a similat tool, to the firefox/firebug combo, I can view the live code in Expression Web. That is how I saw the pictures names and locations, so I could change them. The pictures were in three sizes and three variations, depending if the member was a man, a woman or guest. It was only a stop gap measure, in reality I need to display a picture based member type. I also need to display much more data from the database here, instead of just the username. |
