I am using CB 2.0.14 with Joomla 3.6, and I have enabled the gender field which is mandatory for users. I have been successful (with help from this forum) in using Layout Parameters for the avatar field so that a male or female avatar shows up correctly in the Profile Layout, based on the setting of the gender field, using a few cb:if statements. Now I'm wondering if I can do the same thing for the Login Module, and for the Activity List, which appear to be using the generic thumbnail default avatars.

Under the Parameters tab of the avatar field, I notice an option that says: "Prepare Layouts using Content Plugins" but I don't know if this is the feature I need. If I set this to "yes" will there be options for Layout Parameters in the CB Activity plugin, and in the CB Login module? If not, is there a way to make use of thumbnail versions of my male/female avatars, depending on the gender selected in the gender field? I am including a screenshot to illustrate what I mean. Any help is greatly appreciated.

That worked perfectly! Now there is just one additional question - in the avatar field parameters, under Image Display, I have the Style set to "circle". This is working for uploaded photos, however for my generic male/female icons the setting is not working. (see attached screenshot) This is not a huge deal, but do you know the reason why it is behaving this way? Thanks! Rob

Krileon - this is fantastic help! There is only one more little issue. The circle image now works almost everywhere - in the Login Module it works when the user first logs in, but then as soon as they navigate to any other page, it reverts to the square image. Please see the two screenshots for reference. Let me know if there is a fix for this. Thanks!
