Actor Photos
This article applies to CARMA 1.3.2.2 and greater
CARMA contains a feature that allows it to display a photo of your actors on pages featuring that particular actor.
Upload Photos
Before CARMA can display any photos for your actors, you must first upload the photos you wish to use. To upload a new photo, go to the Actors Admin and add a new actor or edit a currently existing actor. On the Editing Actor page, upload your desired actor photo into the "Photo" field, then click Save Actor.

You can display just the actor photo on any page by using the carma_actor_photo_name template function. For example:
Template Code
{carma_list count=500 list="actors" order="name ASC"} {foreach from=$carma_list.actor item=actor} {$actor.name}<br> {if $actor.photo} <img src="view_image.php?actorid={$actor.actorid}&width=300&height=300"><br> {else} [no photo]<br> {/if} <hr> {/foreach}
HTML Code After Smarty Runs
Actor 1<br> <img src="view_image.php?actorid=1&width=300&height=300"><br> <hr> Actor 2<br> <img src="view_image.php?actorid=2&width=300&height=300"><br> <hr> ...
Other Template Functions
