Whenever i log on,i tried to change the avatar but no way out!! i did every possibilities.

From member menu, i tried to click the available registered user. Then , the coming up page shows blank. So, please so me the way, how should i solve this problem!

I uploaded my own avatar to the host and it shows System avatar list. I thought it should be custom avatar.

But i think first that page should come up which should be shown after i click the registered user.

i'm the webmaster of the web site.

Thanks, please help me.

I'm not sure if this will help, but there is a minimum no. of posts before a user can upload an avatar.

Go to Sys Admin -> Preferences -> User Info. See if the "Allow custom avatar upload?" is set to "Yes". And then go to the next line, "Minimum posts required", and input a reasonable number. For my site, I set it to 10 posts.

Then check to see if you can upload an avatar. Even Webmasters are not exempt to this. Lower the number first if you want to put your avatar, and then raise it back to whatever you want for the other users.

Since, i'm on the initial stage of my website publishing. I just did make "1" in place of "O" for the minimum posts required to upload avatars. I also set YES to custom avatar upload. Still, nothing shows when i wanted to change avatar and click on the user.

I don't know what is the problem?

step back to the basic procedure..
did you chmod the upload folder to 777 ?

First of all, when you get a blank page, turn on PHP-debug mode in the system admin -> preferences -> general settings page. Then, return to the page that produces the blank page, and note the errors that cause the page to break. That way you can detrmine the offending broken code, and we can give a specific answer. XOOPS is a complex system, without this information we're just guessing.

Secondly, the chmod issue. This is a command for linux and unix (web)servers to set the read/write/execute rights for each file and folder. To set multiple combinations quickly, this command works with 3 digit combinations. 444 is read only, 666 is read and write, 777 is full access rights. XOOPS requires the cache/, templates_c/ and uploads/ folders to be given full access rights (chmod 777).
Setting these rights depend on where you're running the webserver (if it's a localhost or on space provided by the hoster), the server's operating system (is it a windows server or a linux/unix server), and the FTP client (to give the chmod command itself). The most common setup would be you have uploaded the filesd to a webspace on a shared hosting provider, using a linux webserver. That means it depends on your FTP client. Most clients I have worked with have a 'properties' or 'commands' menu in the right-click contextual menu. Thus, rightclick on the uploads/ folder, select 'properties' or 'commands', and then select CHMOD. Check your FTP client's help menu for clear instructions on how to CHMOD a file or folder.

I hope this makes it more clear for you
