global $DB,$CFG;And then the template would look like this:
require_once("$CFG->libdir/outputcomponents.php");
$users = $DB->get_records('user',array());
foreach($users as $user) {
$user_picture = new user_picture($user);
$user->picurl = $user_picture->get_url($this->output);
}
$data=[];
$data['users']=$users;
return $this->render_from_template('mod_mysupermod/userpics', $data);
{{#users}}
<img src="{{{picurl}}}">
{{/user}}(I copied and pasted bits of code of mine to make that, but did not test it. It should get you close, even if it does not go)
Hi Justin
Thanks for the response and I hope you're well old buddy.
I got something similar from the userpix/index.php example:
foreach ($students as $student) {
$studentlist = array();
$studentlist['name'] = $student->firstname;
$rs = $DB->get_record_select("user", "id = '$student->id'", null, user_picture::fields());
$studentlist['pic'] = $this->output->user_picture($rs);
$data->students[] = $studentlist;
}Where students is a list of course student users from an SQL function in the block code.
Then in the template:
{{#students}}
<ul class="list-group">
<li class="list-group-item list-group-item-warning"> {{{pic}}} {{name}}</li>
</ul>
{{/students}}And the result looks like this:
So there's life in the old block yet
Absolutely the pix template helper is only designed to take pix from the relevant pix folder (a moment's thought would have told me that). I need to find out how to write a template helper but that's something for another day.
However, maybe this will help someone searching the forums for something similar.
Best wishes
Richard
