Love this idea. I've been thinking about this ever since IPS v4 was released with the cover photos on the profiles.

Can you think about the following enhancement:

1.  Randomized cover photos?  (Eg. I upload 5 choices, and the system chooses one)

Maybe some time down the road.

Can I ask how the server stores the default cover photo?  

For example, do all of the default cover photos point to the original source image, or is the source image copied for each user over and over again?

It's not copied. It's stored once into the database and then when a user registers it will set their cover photo.

Okay, got it.

I do like the idea of default cover photos and default profile photos, since so many of my members don't take the time to upload anything and it leads to a very grey and boring and faceless community.  I've had an idea for a long time for "Default Profiles" ... where there would be a choice of cover photos, choice of user profiles, and perhaps even some default profile text to encourage users to replace it with their own. (My thinking is that it's hard to start with a blank box - how do you even begin to describe yourself?? But it's a lot easier to replace and correct something already there).  This is the closest thing to the idea, and even though your plugin is very simplistic, I appreciate you taking your time to publish it to the IPS Marketplace.

I see what you're saying, I've fixed the issue and will be updating the plugin in a few minutes.

Any size not displayed!
Perhaps the error lies in the fact that the forum runs on php 5.6.19?

 

I'm not sure if that's the reason but I do develop on PHP 7, I would make a local install and see if it will work that way.
