Community

as i am using my own existing Plugin to edit the Users Profile, i just changed the Typoscript Setup :

config.tx_extbase {
persistence.classes {
Tx_Community_Domain_Model_User {
mapping {
tableName = fe_users
userGroup.foreignClass = Tx_Extbase_Domain_Model_FrontendUserGroup
columns {
// profile_image.mapOnProperty = image // actuall default
image.mapOnProperty = image // my setting, useful to work together with mm_forum
}

this Setting should be default ..

AFAIK community uses different field for image because the default one may have multiple values (multiple images).

the question here is if we want to have multiple fields in the database for the same thing or not. if there are multiple images, we could also just use the first one (use explode for ',' and use the first array index) if the array is longer than 1 item something like:

$explodedValue = explode(',' $dbfield);
if (count($explodedValue) > 1) {
    $image = $explodedValue[0];
} else {
    $image = $dbfield;
}

what do you think about that?

I like this solution, so we have the same profile image on the whole page. At the moment i have to set the image twice, in community and for example in mm_forum.

Of course, I would like to be as much compatible with other extensions as possible. If any of you can provide a patch I will be more than happy :)
Please keep in mind that the solution have to work with community galleries.
