[image] Kirby 2.3.0 Beta The thumb()method is not implemented for the Media class, but only for the file class. The user avatar, however, is an object of type Media, not of type File. How can I show a smaller thumb of the avatar picture for the logged in user, using the new methods?

You can still use the thumb helper and pass the Media object to it.

The code <?php if($user = $site->user()): ?> <?php echo thumb($site->user()->avatar(), array('width' => 50, 'height' => 50)); ?> <?php endif; ?> shows the avatar picture (*.jpg) in the original size (100px × 120px). Something is wrong. [added:] In the avatar directory I now find a new file call…

That is very strange. What is the HTML code you get from the PHP code you posted above? Does it point to that dfm file or to the original? Also I have no idea why the file gets the extension .dfm, that’s very very strange.

OK, so that’s the original image, which is even more strange. Did the same code work on your machine with Kirby 2.2.3?

Yes, with Kirby-Version 2.2.3 the same code runs and shows a picture with 42px × 50px from the thumbs directory.

Thanks for testing. I have created an issue .

Thanks. But look at https://forum.getkirby.com/t/kirby-2-3-0-beta/3809/13?u=heineref too. I don’t know but may be the change of the type of the user avatars from Media to File may help in this case.
