  2. I would look at an existing user in the database, specifically the $wpdb->usermeta table, and see how the profile picture is being stored, with what meta key. You can duplicate that portion of the functionality in the Gravity Form. However, you would not have access to the other functions the plugin provides, such as cropping and resizing the avatar. The plugin could still be used to allow the user to edit their profile after the account is created though.

    There is no plan currently to include an avatar system with Gravity Forms. As Chris said, you would likely have to find out how that plugin is doing it and replicate it within Gravity Forms, or get a developer to create such an add-on.

  7. it would be a great feature... guys please! consider making an image upload to the avatar system especially for the add-on "user-registration" you know... the developer licence was not cheap to not have at least a support kind answer. Not just an "get a developer" x_x really?
