hi, im a new xoops user and was going to add custom avatars for my users but i dont know where they go, i tried the uplad thing in the admin panel, but it says protector detected an attack, and i cannot upload.

i have an ftp client that i uploaded all the other xoops stuff with, i tried putting them in /htdocs/modules/system/admin/avatars but they didnt show up in the avatar list so i assume that wasnt the correct dir.

where do i upload them to?

XOOPS version?
You mean setting the system avatars, so, the users can choose from a standard range of avatars? /modules/system/admin.php?fct=avatars and /modules/system/admin.php?fct=avatars&op=listavt&type=s

Weird.
Deactivate Protector temporary trough its preferences for the time of the uploading.

What message do you get exactly?
And where or when do you see it?
Any other messages when debug is on?

There was a great little module for this called '342-Avatars'. Not a module as such, just an SQL import script you ran after uploading the images via FTP. It installed 342 avatars, but it was simple to change the script to use less. You did need access to your Xoops database.

You could also try this Avatar Manager

I think I have the old script somewhere in an archive. I'll see if I can find it. Don't know if it will work with the later version of Xoops though, but should only need a simple table name change in the SQL.
A thread is for life. Not just for Christmas.
