Can I put the user Portrait image on the Author Menu?

Can I put the user Portrait image on the Author Menu?

Please clarify further where you're wanting the avatar to display as I don't know what you mean by the Author menu, sorry. If it's a Joomla menu item you can use the CB Content Module and substitute in the avatar with [cb:userfield field="avatar" /] then assign the module to that menu item.

On this site -- afrisnet.org
Once you log in (here's a temporary username: pablosmedberg, pw: smedberg)
registered users see a menu with Create a Post, My Afrisnet Profile, Change Password, Log out, and Edit My Profile -- on every page
I'd like to see each users Portrait image on the top of or part of that module.

Following your advice I went to create a new module with the code snippet you provided. There didn't seem to be a module type called a CB Content Module. I then installed cbcontentbot, but nothing labeled CB Content was available in module types.

Thank you for your help.

You can download CB Content Module below.

Great. Thank you.

I got the CB Module, put the avatar code in. Set position and it appears.

I was unable to figure out how to attach the module to the menu.
Can the short code spec an image size?

Within your module click the Menu Assignment tab and select the menu items you want the module to display on.

Nope, just surround it with a div element that has inline styles limited to the size you're wanting or use custom CSS specific to your module. Example div usage as follows.
