Tool Sync: Avatar import file
Introduction
To synchronise user avatars, a compressed archive file (ZIP) must be built with the image files. The service configuration lets you choose the primary identification field that will link the images to the user accounts. The image names must then be built on that basis:
<%valueid%>.gif or <%valueid%>.jpg
The zip file must have a recognisable prefix that must be given to the userpictures_fileprefix parameter. The evaluation order is the alphabetical order of the (physical) file name.
