Hi, We want to display avatars all Users in this section. Is there are control setting for this? At present User avatars only show if the User has uploaded a .jpg. If the User has not replaced the default avatar then they are not displayed in the User list.

I am assuming that you are referring to the Dashboard.aspx page in the demo site. You just have to set the ShowValidAvatarsOnly property of the ctlNewUsers part to false to achieve this.

Thanks Denis, I'm in the page /MonoX/Pages/SocialNetworking/Dashboard.aspx now but cannot identify ctlNewUsers part. I go to the Web part properties but these are for the whole Social Networking page. I cannot see ctlNewUsers. Where is this? Thanks

Hi Johnsamuel,

ctlNewUsers control is not in the web part zone so you need to open Dashboard markup and set the "ShowValidAvatarsOnly" property directly on the "ctlNewUsers" control.

Regards.

if you open up MonoX/Pages/SocialNetworking/Dashboard.aspx you see:

<div class="people">
<MonoX:NewUsers
runat="server"
ID="ctlNewUsers"
CacheDuration="600"
IsPagerVisible="false"
ShowValidAvatarsOnly="true"
SortBy="SortRandomly"
PageSize="20"
PagingEnabled="false" >
</MonoX:NewUsers>
</div>

need to edit the control property (XML attribute ShowValidAvatarsOnly) there

we just had the case where it was considering as invalid also some avatars coming from gravatar.com, without an obvious reason and was hiding those users

anyway I feel the default behaviour should be to show ALL avatars, even for those with no image/gravatar to thus suggest to the users to set their avatar
