I am having issues with user profile avatars being saved. When I try to select a avatar and click submit it says it has been saved but when i look its not there.

I have also checked in PhPMyAdmin and it is not saving in the SQL Database either so not too sure where i am going wrong. I have well i am sure i have checked all the boxes that need to be checked and have uploaded and installed all the avatars through the admin panel.

I mass uploaded the avators into the server then saved them one by one in the admin panel of xoops.

Did this get resolved? I am having the same problem. It says the avatar is saved but when I check phpadmin, the avatar is still blank.gif.

I am looking at the code in profile/edituser.php and it seems that the XOOPS_UPLOAD_PATH is wrong. It is searching for the avatar pic in uploads when in fact the path should be uploads/avatars/. This needs to be fixed.

in userinfo.php I changed

$avatar = "";
if ($thisUser->getVar('user_avatar') && "blank.gif" != $thisUser->getVar('user_avatar')) {
$avatar = XOOPS_UPLOAD_URL . "/" . $thisUser->getVar('user_avatar');
}


to:
$avatar = "";
if ($thisUser->getVar('user_avatar') && "blank.gif" != $thisUser->getVar('user_avatar')) {
$avatar = XOOPS_UPLOAD_URL . "/avatars/" . $thisUser->getVar('user_avatar');
}

and now the picture shows up in the user profile.

now if only I can get the change user avatar working.

in edituser.php

wherever you see
XOOPS_UPLOAD_URL . '/'

change it to:
XOOPS_UPLOAD_URL . '/avatars/'


and also
XOOPS_UPLOAD_PATH . '/'
change to:
XOOPS_UPLOAD_PATH . '/avatars/'

This will make the avatars show up in the change avatar form BUT after you click the submit button, it still won't change the avatar so I don't know how to fix that.

I changed the user avatar in phpadmin. Since I am still testing out the new xoops that's not too much of a hassle but if you have a working site, you will definitely need a real fix.

There appears to be a bug tracker for the latest Xoops here

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=41586&atid=430840

It would be useful to post your issue there so the dev team can investigate it.
