What is the picture field in the node object?

Question

print_r($node) outputs:

stdClass Object
(
    [nid] => 4
    [type] => grouptype
    [language] => fa
    [uid] => 1
    ....
    [title] => sample group
    ....
    [name] => roshd
    [picture] => 
    ....
)

What is picture and how can I upload a picture into this field?

Answer 1

This is the profile picture of the author of that node. You can upload that in your edit profile form and you can display it using theme('user_picture', $node);.

If you want to be able to attach images to nodes, have a look at CCK and ImageField..
