Hi, I'm trying to the user picture to match to a course contact.
Currently I get the course contacts using the function from the coursecatlib.php:
$course->get_course_contacts()
And then I cycle through the course contact list using:
foreach ($list_course_contacts as $userid => $coursecontact)
However, this doesn't return a user object, and I need a user object to use the function below:
$OUTPUT->user_picture($coursecontact, array('size' => 50))
what step am I missing?
cheers,
Brad
hi,
in fact, the get_course_contacts cannot be used (directly).
you can add something like this this inside the foreach loop
$sql = "
SELECT *
FROM {user} t1
WHERE id = :param1
";
$params = array('param1' => $userid->id);
$user = $DB->get_record_sql($sql, $params);
$OUTPUT->user_picture($user, array('size' => 50));
I hope it's help
Thanks for your reply Dominic. The get_course_contacts function works but it only returns the user id, username and role.
I'm kind of surprised, if there is no function to get a complete user object based on a userid rather than having to use an SQL query.
Cheers

Sorry I meant Dominique
