How to print User picture in a block

By cnario on 2 Mar 2014 at 23:18 UTC

Hi guys!

I'm trying to create a custom welcome block in drupal 7. I've been able to print Username an all the other links that i want, but have not been able to figure out how to print the current logged-in user picture in a block.

Here's the code I've been trying to adapt to no avail:

<?php 
            $user = user_load(arg(1));
 if($user->picture){           
            print theme('image_style',
                array(
                    'style_name' => 'avatar',
                    'path' => $user->picture->uri,
                    'width' => NULL,
                    'height' => NULL,
                    'attributes' => array('class' => 'profile-avatar')  
                )
            ); 
}else{
                    echo '<img src=" ' . base_path() . drupal_get_path('theme', 'theme_path') . '/images/user_icon.png" />' ;
                }   
        ?>

The above code only shows up when I'm viewing a user's profile (it displays the picture of the user being viewed as opposed to current logged-in user). I want to know how to show the current logged-in user picture on all pages where the block is displayed.

Change this:

$user = user_load(arg(1));

To this:

global $user;

I did that already but got

global $user;
if($user->uid && isset($user->picture, $user->picture->uri)){
            print theme('image_style',
                array(
                    'style_name' => 'avatar',
                    'path' => $user->picture->uri,
                    'width' => NULL,
                    'height' => NULL,
                    'attributes' => array('class' => 'profile-avatar')
                )
            );
}else{
                    echo '<img src=" ' . base_path() . drupal_get_path('theme', 'theme_path') . '/images/user_icon.png" />' ;
                }
