Comment 2 for bug 1183872

The photo_url column is in actor.usr, and the image tag is already in display_overlay.xul. The only puzzle piece missing is the method to store the images and link the user to the image. An org_unit_setting could provide a default path per OU. If the images were named with the actor.id, and stored in the appropriate path, it would be very simple to implement. Although the image management would still be left to an outside mechanism.

In Elizabeth's case, if the photo_url column were populated during the student record load, they would just magically appear. Depending on image size, some style may be needed for proper display.
