Does this file exist on this path? ./include/api/custom_profile_fields.php
All lower case?

What are the directory permissions?

HELP ME TO INSTALL USER AVATAR

leouser — Tue, 01 Apr 2014 17:21:41 -0400

Hi All
Good day to you all.

Please i need your assistance in installing user avatar.
I have read for 4 hours the guideline provided in this support section of the phorum, but i have not been able to solve my problem.

Can you help with step to step guide.
The progress i have made so far is that i have uploaaded the user_avatar file to my shared hosting, and i have also enabled the avatar module from the admin. But i do not know how to edit the necessary templates so as to display the avatar. I have tried to read instructions from the site for 4 hoours, but it couldnt work.

Please assist me if you.

I have no idea what finally fixed my issue but when I re-launched Firefox this morning and checked my files for tailing spaces after "?>" tags, I saw that the User Avatar module now showed my uploaded avatar image correctly in "My Profile".

I then uploaded the updated /include/upload_functions.php with an added "?>" tag at the very end, deleted all uploaded images, re-uploaded one of them, assigned it to be used - and here we are: [www.icalamus.net]

Edit: Maybe it was the closing "?>" in /include/upload_functions.php - because now I fixed this file in another Phorum installation first, then added the User Avatar module and the hooks to that Phorum and had no issues right from the beginning.

Thomas Seifert — Sun, 16 Feb 2014 03:18:59 -0500

Nowadays php doesn't require a closing ?> anymore and its even discouraged to avoid issues like the ones you mentioned.

I would start with looking for extra characters after the closing ?> including line feeds, and or carriage returns.
As to which files, and how many files to check ... probably all which contain ?>

After checking most of the .php files in Phorum, the majority of them had an extra line feed after the closing ?> This doesn't matter except in the case of binary data.

Thomas
There is one related file "upload_functions.php" which has no closing ?> php tag. Not sure if this is a bug or not.

Finding an answer relevant to your issue may take a while. I tried a variety of Google searches and while I did not come up empty, hits were few.

I have installed the User Avatar mod (v3.0.4) today on one of my Phorum installations (5.2.19) on an Ubuntu 3.10 server with PHP 5.5.3 and MySQL 5.5.35. (No other avatar mod installed, of course!)

Although the mod's "Avatar" menu is shown in my Profile and although I can upload an avatar image, it gets damaged after upload. It s stored in the relevant database table, but Firefox 27.0.1 (and other browsers) show the broken image placeholder. When I click on its URL to open it in an external image editor, I get the information that the file format is unknown.

(When I click the [ ] Delete checkbox and delete the uploaded image, it gets deleted, while the mod reports Die Änderungen wurden nicht gespeichert. which refers to ChangesSaved in /include/lang/german.php - probably a translation issue which I have now fixed for my local language file.)

What can I do to fix this issue?

Re: Module: User Avatar

zenon — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 17:06:41 -0400

I installed it today, it works great, but I had quite a fight with the templates before I managed to get the HTML formatting right and W3 compliant. The main reason for this is that the default background image of class="message-author icon-user" and the avatars don't mix well HTML/CSS-wise, so messing with the one tends to break the other.

So it occured to me that it would be much better if User Avatar came with a default avatar and completely did away with the default background icon. This would allow the module to come with ready replacements for the standard read_whatever.tpl and css.tpl and eliminate all the {IF MESSAGES->user_avatar} conditionals that mess up the HTML.

For this to work without filling the database with one copy of the same default avatar file for every user, all avatar files could be renamed to their respective md5hash.ext upon upload and be kept all in one user-independent table. Doing this would allow a single copy of the default avatar to serve all users who have uploaded no avatar of their own. Once uploaded, avatars should be removable from the user profile, but not physically deletable. This would also allow older postings to keep their original avatar after a user changes his current one.

Hence: RFE.

I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this or the support section but I'm having an issue with this module. I added an image to illustrate.

Now, this is ONLY happening on the local machine and everything works as it should once uploaded to the real server. The Avatars refuse to show in the CC + read pages. Also, if I click the "save changes" button in the avatar control center, you get the "Undefined index: avatar in" error. Obviously I can suppress the error.. its included for "just in case".

Localhost setup:
Apache 2.2.22
PHP 5.4.3
MySQL 5.5.24
Latest stable Phorum
Happens with all themes (including default).

Again, only posting the setup for "just in case" it may be relevant.

Considering that this problem only exists on the local machine tells me that my machines configuration may lacking something. This is really just an annoyance and a low priority... I'm just going crazy trying to figure out WHY its happening. It's annoying when working with the templates.

I'm thinking its not the module that my system is having issues with, but probably the file storage. I may be missing a php module .. I just don't know what php module I could possibly be missing.. so I'm hoping someone might have an idea as to what the causation may be.. or what modules are required to pull the images/files from the database and reconstitute (like instant coffee LOL) them. This is driving me batty!

Yes I'm sure

Are you sure that you've used *this* module? which version is shown in the admin? on which phorum version?
I've never seen a problem with installing the custom field with it.

Re: User Avatar

Birgitta — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 14:49:59 -0400

Hi Maurice!

No, no such field has been created. I have deleted the mod and copied it into the mods section again with the same result. What do I do?

Re: User Avatar

Maurice Makaay — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 14:04:36 -0400

Maybe the custom profile field that is required for storing the setting for the users has not been created correctly. Please go to the admin interface and take a look at the custom profile fields. Is a mod_user_avatar field created? If yes, what are its settings?

Birgitta — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 07:18:18 -0400

I installed the User Avatar module and I can upload a picture fine, but when I try to "select" it, it doesn't get "selected". The button that should turn blue just stays un-selected after I save.

I have modified the template files, but I think that as long as no image is selected, no avatar will show up.

Anyone know what is wrong?

Re: Module: User Avatar

Andy T — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 20:37:31 -0500

I have loaded this mod as well and I have gotten it to work for regular message posts, but it doesn't seem to come up in private message posts.

I have the following code in my read_threads.tpl file:

{IF MESSAGE->user_avatar}
user_avatar}" alt="avatar"
{IF MESSAGE->user_avatar_w}
style="width:{MESSAGE->user_avatar_w}px;
height:{MESSAGE->user_avatar_h}px"
{/IF} />
{/IF}

As I said, I the mod is working on other pages, so I know that I'm working with the right template at least. Just having trouble getting the image to show up in private messages... I just loaded phorum about three weeks ago, so I'm assuming that I'm using the latest version.

Any help would be appreciated!

It's not a feature in the avatar module to retrieve avatars from remote sites. In a new version of the avatar module (for future Phorum 5.3) I built support for using a Gravatar image, which kind of serves the purpose. That won't help you for now of course.

Re: Module: User Avatar

dsibilant — Sat, 09 Apr 2011 13:16:40 -0400

I too would like the feature so that the avatars could be on remote sites. I don't want to enable uploads. I tried doing it in the signature line, but it wouldn't take parse the img tag.

Re: Module: User Avatar

Scott Finegan — Sat, 08 Jan 2011 00:07:51 -0500

user_avatar is the correct folder name as extracted from the zip file. If any directory or file names have been changed, it won't work.

You mean that they have to explicitly *enable* avatars in their own control center before they are able to see other people's avatars?

Yes, an option for the administrator like:

- by default user don't see avatar

Like this, when I install the module, only user that want to use avatar have to activate the option.

Quote
You'd either have to modify the module code for that to work

And do you think it will be a big work for a man that has not code in php for several years to implement that from your module ^^ ?
