it's still not working

but look at these, they have a dot in front of them

$cfg['plugins_dir'] = './plugins';
$cfg['system_dir'] = './system';

hm.open config.php on line 72 and replace it with $cfg['av_dir'] = './datas/avatars/';
i just looked on my host how the avatar directories are created and if its runing on linux your avatar directories should look like this : ./datas/avatars/1-avatar.gif

here you go

I don't get why there is numbers next to it though. becuase that's not what they were named when they were uploaded, and there not all in .gif format

Open phpmyadmin and ...
there you will have a User_avatar colonn.It will have data about the avatars like data/avatars/1-avatar.gif

i'm having a hard time following you.

so upload a file names avatar.pen into my database then open sed_users in view mode. then look in user_avatar.

i kind of get the second part but I don't get what you mean by upload some avatar.pen.

I really appreciate you taking your time trying to help me.

Upload some avatar.pen your data base and open the sed_users in View mode.Look in user_avatar what is the directory of the avatars.

# Trustmaster : You don't need to rename any folders, just make sure $cfg['av_dir'] is set to
$cfg['av_dir'] = 'datas/avatars/';
in your datas/config.php

yup that's what it says and I even copied and pasted your code to make sure that there was no extra spaces

now I'll try putting '.datas/avatars/';

Edit putting .datas in the config.php didn't work I'll make a list of everything I have done so far to see if I have made any mistakes.

I chmod the folders

then I opened up the php information thing to make sure that uploads wasn't disabled which it wasn't and everything else looked fine.

Then I tryed uploading different image formats e.g. .jpg and .gif all in the 64x64 px which didn't work

Now I am lost and have no idea what else could be causing this

# SunChase : i found out that if the Hosts OS is linux(or ect.) then ".datas/avatars"(not "datas/avatars" is correct.You need to remove the dot if the host runs of a Windows hosting

I'm on a Linux Host BUT I ALSO had to correct the url killing the dot...

You don't need to rename any folders, just make sure $cfg['av_dir'] is set to

$cfg['av_dir'] = 'datas/avatars/';

in your datas/config.php

# Kilandor : Removed the PHPinfo link, its not recommended to publicly place those

Did you modify and fix your config.php with the above?

there's nothing that I can really modify the only things that are in any way related are

$cfg['dir_perms'] = 0777;
$cfg['file_perms'] = 0664;

which does this need to be changed to 0777

and this

$cfg['av_dir'] = 'datas/avatars/';

does this need to be changed in anyway like SunChase said above ^

do I need to rename my datas folder to .datas

Thx for your help

Got the same error.
The avatar size is normal.No errors appear.When i check /datas/avatars/ i see that its empty.
Through the hidemenu i have an avatar shown.If the avatar is chosen from the default avatar list it works.But if i upload an avatar it shows : /.datas/avatars/1-avatar.gif

This has been checked on localhost and on a host.DB was also checked.

eeeeeehh.I found whats the problem.This is a bug.The defaul avatar dir for upload is really set to ".datas/avatars"(not "datas/avatars").

Here is a simple temporary solution - in the sites root folder create a folder and name it ".datas",and create a "avatars" folder in it...this will work

Добавлено 25 Минут спустя:

found what was wrong.
change $cfg['av_dir'] = '.datas/avatars/';
to
$cfg['av_dir'] = 'datas/avatars/';
in datas/config.php

Create a new PHP file.

Call it phpinfo.php

Paste this code inside:

Upload phpinfo.php to your /www folder.

Simply point your browser to www.yoursite.com/phpinfo.php and then find this lines:
file_uploads, upload_max_filesize, upload_tmp_dir

And write back here with the info.

For example:

file_uploads	On	On
upload_max_filesize	64M	64M
upload_tmp_dir	X:\xampp\tmp	X:\xampp\tmp

I uploaded photos through pfs, and no problem. But Avatars wont upload.
@Trustmaster: I went to users and I had the settings at 180x180 and 8000 kb. I tried to upload a .png .gif, and .jpg to no avail.
How do you do the second step?

Trustmaster

вс, 02 авг 2009 15:30:43 -0000

Please check:

Administration => Configuration => Users => Avatar options
These options of you php.ini/phpinfo: file_uploads, upload_max_filesize, upload_tmp_dir

I actually don't recall if avatar shows error's. Try uploading your avatar straight into PFS, it will say if there are any errors

Thats the thing. I dont get an error.
You just cant upload an avatar. When you try, it says : Updated
But ur avatar doesnt show. Instead, theres a broken image icon. i chmoded, did a fresh install and still nothing

Hello.
When you go to Profile and try to upload a avatar on my site, it won't upload and shows a "broken" icon that I think represents the image.
I have repeatedly install Cotonti and CHMODed all the folders in /Datas/ to 777. I can still upload photos. Its just the avatars.
My site is http://www.ibloggr.netau.net/
