Hi,
when user selects avatar on the main site I dublicate this data in forum database as following:

using (Stream stream = new MemoryStream())
{
image.Save(stream, ImageFormat.Jpeg);
if (foundUser != null)
DB.user_saveavatar(foundUser, null, stream);
}

Data in AvatarImage column saves correctly, I can check it by calling http://localhost:7839/TestForum/resource.ashx?u=4.
I also set sufficient size for avatar image on Forum Settings page.
But these avatars don't show on the forum.
Please tell me what did I do wrong?

It's all right now.

I've looked in disassembler code for profile page when Avatar image is initialized:

if ((base.BoardSettings.AvatarUpload && (row["HasAvatarImage"] != null)) && (long.Parse(row["HasAvatarImage"].ToString()) > 0L))
{
this.Avatar.ImageUrl = Data.ForumRoot + "resource.ashx?u=" + base.Request.QueryString["u"];
}
else if (row["Avatar"].ToString().Length > 0)
{
this.Avatar.ImageUrl = string.Format("{3}resource.ashx?url={0}&width={1}&height={2}", new object[] { base.Server.UrlEncode(row["Avatar"].ToString()), base.BoardSettings.AvatarWidth, base.BoardSettings.AvatarHeight, Data.ForumRoot });
}
else
{
this.Avatar.Visible = false;
}

All I have to do was to check 'Allow avatar uploading' option on Forum Settings page.

🙂 I love self help. Happy you got it sorted mate.

Hi lpuntmidgets,

I just ran into this myself and looked at EditUsersAvatar.ascx.cs under the "controls" folder. In the Page_Load method there is a call to user_saveavatar:


When I stepped through the debugger, it looks like the YafForumInfo.ForumBaseUrl returns a Url with a "/" on the end so you do not need the extra slash before "images" in the format string.

By the way, I am running 1.9.2 RC2 but it sounds like the same issue - although I was having the issue when selecting an avatar from the site supplied ones. Just an FYI...

Hope this helps...
