Avatars from separate forum not showing

gholsie · June 17th, 2010, 02:05 PM

Hi Chuck, it looks like my avatars from my forum (separate website (classicZcars.com)) are not showing up on my newly created Classified ads site (datsunclassifieds.com).

User database is from my forum, and the classifieds have their own database. Do you know what would cause this and how I can fix it? Thx.

Mike do you block images from showing on different domains via htaccess?

gholsie · June 17th, 2010, 04:43 PM

Hmm, I didn't explicitly block images from a different domain.

Here's my .htaccess on the forum site:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

I don't have a .htaccess on the classifieds site.

Okay well do you have your forum url correct in your classifieds admin forum settings?

what type of url is it looking for?

gholsie · June 17th, 2010, 07:02 PM

Here are a few screenshots of my config-int and config-inc files.
They look fine to me, but, maybe you can see something?

gholsie · June 17th, 2010, 07:06 PM

From what I can see, the signatures are coming in from the forum, just not the avatars when someone posts an ad.

Chuck S · June 17th, 2010, 07:14 PM

well do you have the option to show avatars set to yes?

auction - PhotoPost Classifieds

I am not seeing any specific issues in the code so need to know more about your settings

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

That option in admin show ad options should control whether we do a avatar or not.

gholsie · June 17th, 2010, 07:31 PM

It's set to yes in my control panel (admin->show ad). Should I check the code, too?

Chuck S · June 17th, 2010, 09:14 PM

well if vb avatars are enabled and our showavatars is set to yes the avatar should show

In pp-inc.php try setting the $showsqldebug line to 2 not 0 so I can see the queries used.

gholsie · June 18th, 2010, 01:57 PM

Hi Chuck, okay I set it to 2 and you can see the queries.

By the way, my forums are on a different domain name located on the same server. But, the forums I am using are located in a directory called /forums just off the root. I am using the vbPortal CMS root.

Chuck S · June 18th, 2010, 02:29 PM

well as long as your forum url is correct in forum settings that should not matter

Chuck S · June 18th, 2010, 02:30 PM

I do not see any queries and please post a login as I can not see forum content to see who has or has not an avatar.

gholsie · June 18th, 2010, 02:36 PM

Chuck, it looks like I'm having some other problems. Maybe there's a configuration issue somewhere and it's affecting avatars. Take a look at this error I just got. I see this after I created a new for sale category and tried to move an existing ad into it.

Copy of the file failed. Operation cancelled.

I did a search and found others with this same problem. The answer was always related to a permissions issue. However, I just went through all of my permissions and made sure everything was chmod'd the right way.

Here are the permissions for that file, not sure why it won't copy.

I can log in as root and copy the file manually, but, there seems to be a problem when PPClassifieds tries to do it. As I was thinking earlier, perhaps there's a config error somewhere I cannot access the system correctly in this install?

Does the target directory exist?

That is the first thing I would ask

http://datsunclassifieds.com/data/1/

http://datsunclassifieds.com/data/32/

see the difference that 32 directory either does not exist or is not 777 at every level

Is safe mode on?

gholsie · June 18th, 2010, 03:01 PM

Yes, the directory exists and is set to 777 permissions. Does safe mode on cause problems for the software?

I'm using Plesk and just looked at this domain setting. Safe mode was ON. I just turned it off and will retry.

gholsie · June 18th, 2010, 03:13 PM

Just tried turning off php-safe-mode and it's still giving me problems moving the ad into the new category and no avatars coming from the forum.

Chuck S · June 18th, 2010, 08:25 PM

http://datsunclassifieds.com/data/32/

Your saying the 32 directory and all directories thumbs large exist and are 777

The url tells me it doesnt exist or permission to access it is incorrect.

Yes you can not have php safe mode on. It must be off.

If this is a new category try deleting it after safe mode is off and recreating it.

gholsie · June 18th, 2010, 08:36 PM

Hi Chuck, that was the answer to my issue moving ads. It looks like I needed to delete the category that I created when PHP-save-mode was on. I re-created it when it was OFF and I can now move ads into the new category.

Although, fixing this problem didn't fix my avatar issue.

please answer post 13 for assistance with the other issue
