Hello,
I'd like to build a database where each student posts one entry and I would like their name and picture to appear at the top of their entry, similar to what the forum looks like. Is there a way of doing that?
Thanks for your help!
Avatars are not possible in the standard module but possible in a plugin called dataform and available at: https://github.com/itamart/moodle-mod_dataform. Note that the plugin is alpha and not yet recommended for production sites. But it may be worthwhile to start playing with it so as to get ready for the time it matures. Here is an illustration of the use of avatars in entries. The dataform allows for using pseudo avatars and names alongside the real ones for role playing (not available yet in the current release).
Hi Ilaria,
Anthony Borrow helped me when I had a similar question (see http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=127757). Of course Itamar's solution is a lot nicer and more flexible and I am looking forward to the final release of dataform.
With kind regards,
Hartmut
