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
