If you are going to install an Avatar module for the first time, then please use the more mature and maintained User Avatar Module

I had it fixed, and I tested it. It should work now.
Have fun with it.

Does this module work in 5.2.7 ?

I'm getting some serious errors with it:

WHEN UN-CHECKING "BLOCK DISPLAY OF AVATARS":

Fatal error: Call to undefined function phorum_user_save() in /path/to/phorum-5.2.7/include/controlcenter/mod_avatar.php on line 17

WHEN TRYING TO EDIT MY AVATARS (/forum/control.php?0,panel=mod_avatar):
Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /path/to/phorum-5.2.7/include/controlcenter/mod_avatar.php on line 73

Am I just installing too far ahead of this module?

Thanks,
Sean P

phorum_user_save() is a function that does no longer exist in 5.2. It was from 5.1 and lower. If such call is in this code, then it needs fixing. Replacing the call with phorum_api_user_save() should do the trick.

Did you try my User Avatar module? That one was written from the ground up for 5.2. Maybe that one is easier to install.

Maurice,

The "User Avatar" module worked beautifully, thanks!

It is strange, sometime I have no image avatar



Some users say me, and in IE 6, than they see the avatar image when they are log out and they see a cross when they are log in.

Right click the image, request its properties, copy the URL for the image. Then open the copied URL directly in the browser. That might show you an error message or so that reveals why the image is not shown.

Just installed 5.2.11...

When I try to do "Save Changes" in the Avatar Options page, I get this message:
Possible hack attempt detected. The posted form data was rejected.

Did I miss something on the install?

Module is installed.
File uploads are on.
Custom profile set up.
Both files copied.
Control Center page altered to show Avatar page. (I get the avatar options page, so avatar seems to work otherwise)
(Was waiting to finish other sections until having avatar confirmed)

That is reported by a new security feature in Phorum. To prevent CSRF hack attempts, POST forms should send a security token along with the rest of the form data. The token is checked to see if the user did the post or if somebody else is tricking the user into posting the form data.

I'll have to look into this module to see why this is happening.

Try the updated package (I just uploaded avatar.zip).
The cc_mod_avatar.tpl template is changed. You can do the changes by hand too.

- find the <form ...> tags in the template.
- after each <form ...> (there are two), add {POST_VARS}

and I'd recomment to use the user_avatar module anyway.
