Integrate avatar selection in screen name creation step.

Hi! Support suggested I post this question here.

 

I wonder if there is any way to integrate avatar selection with the screen name selection.
the process today on our forum is
1. User registers on HPID. Completely fills in all information and submits.
2. User is directed to the next page. Is asked to select a forum screen name.
Today user types in a screen name, submits it and is referred to the home page.


Is there any way to allow the user to select an avatar in the step 2 where he creates a screen name?
How would we go about that.


Thanks!
Wendy

    Wendy_S The avatar selection can be achieved. We have done that before. PM me, happy to share the details.

      HI peterlu,

      details could be interesting for other users as well. ;)

      So maybe you could share some details with us in public. :)

        Thanks cike for your input. We'll play around with this sometime :-)

         

        And peterlu. As Christian mentions, we would love to get some more details about this.

        Thanks everyone!

    Hi Wendy_S,

    at first, I like your idea to guide users through some initial steps of becoming community members and get their profiles staffed. :)

     

    Maybe you could try to add a custom redirect (instead of redirecting to the community homepage) to the users profile/settings pages, where the users then can make use of Lithium's default avatar selection features.

    As an other possible solution you could try to develop a customisation (components, APIs) which is included on the profile completion quilt (where the user selects his community username).

     

    Regards,
