You will find the images here:

YOURJOOMLA -> images -> comprofiler -> gallery

Believe it or not, I never used the default gallery, yet ;-) I guess you can just add and replace your own stuff. Also the image dimensions could be of your choice. Though, it might be possible that an automated CBupdate re-installs the default files!

As I mentioned in my first post... I have never tried it personally, yet ;-)

What happens when you add/replace the default files? Do they show-up in avatar gallery screen? Or do you have any issues with file type and names? ... just try it out...

Thanks - it worked. Now I am trying to change the columns to 3 (now 5). I have read a few comments but am a bit a novice to where to change this code. I understand Joomla modules but am usually using a savvy template that makes it easy. Any specific info on how to change the columns for this gallery from 5 to 3?

Many Thanks.

Unfortunately this is a core hack. Not just a CB profile template change. So, don´t expect an official support answer ;-) In general, I would not change anything in core, because you are getting in trouble on each update. Duplicating and changing the default profile is suggested...

All I can give you is the filename and line numbers. Just a quick search, so you will have to check this twice... AND make a backup! Look into:

com_comprofiler.html.php

search for the term "gallery" or look around line# 555

There is the table generation and Col-Spans ;-)
