VB3.5 Avatars in filesystem not showing in PP 5.3

Signatures show, avatars dont. Saw reference here:
http://www.photopost.com/forum/showt...tars+vbulletin

To what might be a lack of compatibilty with avatars in file system.

Please advise.

Thanks

Do you have an avatar set? Yours is coming up with no avatar. I made a comment and the avatar shows from your set of avatars

However if I upload it to your site from mine it does not. I would you need to check your forum url out in forum settings in admin. I use fileavatars on my site with 3.5

I guess the best thing is to see what is coming out of your database.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Try running this query on your vb and post the results here

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

results:

SQL query:
SELECT u.username, u.homepage, u.usertitle, u.posts, u.joindate, uf.field2, s.host, t.signature, avatar.avatarpath, NOT ISNULL( customavatar.filedata ) AS hascustomavatar, u.avatarrevision
FROM user u
LEFT JOIN userfield uf ON uf.userid = u.userid
LEFT JOIN SESSION s ON s.userid = u.userid
LEFT JOIN usertextfield t ON t.userid = u.userid
LEFT JOIN avatar AS avatar ON ( avatar.avatarid = u.avatarid )
LEFT JOIN customavatar AS customavatar ON ( customavatar.userid = u.userid )
WHERE u.userid =905
LIMIT 1

Thanks BTW. This and the wysiwyg prob then and i should be done with the install. This software is truly awesome. Cant wait to be done wrenching on it so I can use it.

fwiw, the avatar that worked for you is in /images/avatars and the uploaded ones are in /customavatars

That is default coding from vbulletin...

Chuck S · February 2nd, 2006, 03:59 PM

You did not post the query results. I am user 905 LOL you should have had data pulled

ToyotaDiesel · February 2nd, 2006, 07:33 PM

sorry, it's been a long day.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Something is not right here with what your linking. If I am matching this up right

avatarpath hascustomavatar avatarrevision
NULL 0 1

Something is definately not right

First off hascustomavatar should definately be a 1 here I am using a custom avatar

ToyotaDiesel · February 2nd, 2006, 09:14 PM

Dont you sleep man? Haha. Yeah, I thought that too. I even double checked your account, and you do indeed have a custom avatar. They work on the forum..?

ToyotaDiesel · February 2nd, 2006, 09:20 PM

here you go

Chuck S · February 3rd, 2006, 06:20 AM

yeah something is not right about your setup

You can PM me an admin login and phpmyadmin to look at this

hascustomavatar should always be 1 when you upload a file like that.

I run my avatars on my vb35 setup in the filesystem and hasav will always be 1 because it is a custom avatar. here is a pic of how the result should be

I'm having the same problem with my 3.5.4 install and the newest PP. Any thoughts? You can see example here. http://www.thebluelodge.org/gallery/...o.php?photo=50

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

You have in Forum Option in admin of Photopost your forum url set incorrectly. If you correct fix the forum url you should be fine. See the code in vb3.php that corresponds to this

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

dwbro1 · April 27th, 2006, 01:04 AM

That did not work either I had to just put the Fully qualified link in there instead

Chuck S · April 27th, 2006, 06:36 AM

Is that not what my advise was above to set the proper forum url in the forum options.

Ok to clarify

.. Setting the FQDN in the config did not work I had to add it directly into the template

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

You can see here what I mean.

Chuck S · April 27th, 2006, 01:33 PM

Well okay if that works for you fine but makes no sense to me. Our program throughout uses the variable noted to autorewrite your links not just the avatar and they work on your site fine.

$Globals are pulled from the database and the forum url if set to this should pull as this

Oh don't get me wrong Chuck I'm not trying to say it is Photopost not working. I'm sure that somewhere between my many template hacks, etc. something has stopped it from working that way for me. Right now I have way to many other bugs to spend too much time tracking this one down right now so this was a quick fix.

Chuck S · April 27th, 2006, 04:10 PM

Ah there you go your started saying your many hacks. That why I said it works for you then good.

I just did not understand how it would not work correctly but with all the hacks and such yes I can see there could be issues.

Ok let me clarify a little more.. I suck at coding so when I refer to hacks I mean "plugin modules" for VB or VBAdvanced.

An "advanced" template "hack" for me would be adding an "if / else" statement too see if they are a member or not.
