But I need to know how that is a problem. If you open the image URL on its own, you will see that it works. One would suspect that the same URL inside an <img> tag would work too then.

My testfforum with version 5.2.x is on [test.clever-forum.de] (user: Phorum password: Clever)

I already know that bit. That what I tested before with cookies disabled in my browser. The alt tag shows, not the image. Normally a sign that the image is broken. Then you right click and do a "view image". The image shows. Click the back button and it is also visible in the page. Do a page reload and the image is gone again.

So far the symptoms. No idea on a solution yet.

Say what? Today is January 6th, according to my calendar... You updating in the future, Maurice? :)

Anyway, that's not why I am posting. I seem to have a problem with getting this mod to work. I've uploaded the module, put the files in the correct place (and edited the read.tpl, by I never get to that stage), but the option to upload or select avatars never shows up for my user in the Control Panel. Conversely, I cannot get the "My Files" menu item to go away, even though I have disabled uploading of files in the General Options.

I'm sure I am missing something... but what?

I've attached an image showing what the control panel looks like, for reference. The avatar options link should be showing up under the Change Password option, as far as I can tell.

To make the menu item visible, ddit cc_menu.tpl.
Add the "tpl_cc_menu_options_hook" hook:

{LANG->Options}
  <ul>
    <li><a {IF PROFILE->PANEL "forum"}....
    <li><a {IF PROFILE->PANEL "password"}....
    {HOOK "tpl_cc_menu_options_hook"}
  </ul>

And for completeness also the "tpl_cc_menu_moderator_hook" hook:

      {IF GROUP_MODERATOR}
        <li><a {IF PROFILE->PANEL "membership"}....     
      {/IF}
      {HOOK "tpl_cc_menu_moderator_hook"}
    </ul>

I added them in the repositories, so they will be included in the next release by default.

The file upload menu is always visible for you, because you are an administrator. Other users will not see it if you disabled the file upload feature in the admin interface.

Have same problem: custom template, module works but I can´t make it appear in the CC menu.
I followed your steps and not working. Should I simply add manually a link to the right URL?

Thanks!

This really should work by adding the {HOOK} code to the control center code in your template. Feel free to hack in the URL manually, but I don't see a reason for doing that. What exact version of Phorum are we looking at? What's the exact code that you added to your cc template?
