Uploading avatar problems

[Natasha]

I just converted my regular cutenews to cutenews.ru. I'm trying to get the user avatar to show up in the comments but it just doesn't show up. Also, in my personal settings I "upload" the image but it disappears when viewing the settings again.



Any help would be much appreciated.

You could try to CHMOD /data/userpics to 777 again

[Natasha]

still doesn't work.

Is it actually uploading and storing on the FTP?

[Natasha]

nope. It just says...saved and then when I go back to the page, the field is blank again. And nothing uploads into my ftp either. I tried uploading images in my news and that works. For some reason just the avatar is having the problem of uploading.

Hey, at least you -have- a field for the personal avatar...



We haven't used Avatars until now, but there's no avatar field, no upload option... nothing... Anyone any idea?

System Settings -> Avatar in comments: to Yes

[Falconer]

Hey, thanks Ramon



Strange though, cause one would expect that that setting would affect only comments... But, it's there, can't complain. Thanks!

[Falconer]

Ah, and then I end up with the same problem as Natasha...

I had the same problem, so i looked up into the code and found the error.

I don't know why, but sometimes when using a "file" input in a form, it does send the file, but the $_POST variable associated is empty, so the script doesn't know that u hhave uploaded the file.

To solve this, open inc/mod/personal.mdu and replace

if($newavatar) {

with

if(!empty($_FILES['newavatar']['name'])){

and it should work.

Hello
I have the same problem with user avatar uploads. When I try to update my personal settings or try to edit and update other users and chose a user avatar to upload, the script dose not upload user avatar. I have to go to PHPmyadmin and open user table and add "jpg" in avatar fileds of each users I want to update. This is killing me!
I have set user avatar settings to: width 1000 hight 1000. The userpics and data folders are marked:
Writing permissions for cache Yes
Writing permissions for userpics Yes
Writing permissions for upimages Yes

I downloaded again the latest version but still it dose not work. I think the old versions of the script was working because I used this script since 2006 and avatar upload worked fine. Recently I updated the script with the latest one and it started not to upload user avatar. The worse thing, It removes user's avatar previously uploaded, when i try to update any user information.

This is a bug and please help us to give a solution.

EDIT and Solution:
Anybody has this problem should apply the Skullbock solution both to Personal.mdu and editusers.mdu files. It works for me now after I changed the code in those files.
