Put an onclick event on the img and then write code to do it. Where are you stuck?

Solution 2

use jquery to select the element and create a onclick event. The easiest way to do this is to use an ID.

add an id to the img tag of say "profile_pic".

then in your javascript file do.

JavaScript

$('#profile_pic').on('click', changePic);

then have a function called changePic to do the changing logic, i.e load up a dialog with a file upload input etc.

You would need to code the logic for changing the profile picture. The idea is to wireup a JavaScript click event and then have the user choose a picture. You can then issue an AJAX request to store the uploaded file to your server for future use. And finally, set the src of your image to the new uploaded image.

I believe there are tons of examples that demonstrate how to do it in jQuery. It's either using a plugin or rolling your own code to do the uploading. Just find them at google.
