can't upload avatar

[yagami]

I've install phpBB on orgfree.com,everything goes smoothly, except that all user (include admin), can't upload avatar, even that my avatar directory has been set to read write by everyone, I'm using phpBB 2.0.16.

oh yeah.. my phpBB site is http://j-blue.tk or http://yagami.6te.net/forum0/

Hi & Welcome,

Do you get an error message when you try to upload??

Also, having 2 possible means of accessing your forums is not such a good idea....
Messes up your cookies and other settings a treat!!

there's no error code, it's say that I've successfully upload, but the avatar not show, what shoulkd I do?

about URL, I think It's no problem cause j-blue.tk only redirect, just for my site easy to remember

Hi,

Nor does having no www in the correct url do any good either.

I suspect that warez are not so popular either...

Check with you hosts if you have CHMODed the images/avatars folder to 777 or they have blocked this by other means.

same thing happens to my forum, i even CHMOD' all the folders to 777.

i think its a host problem to prevent image hotlinking

I am having the same problem with my mb. I have file permissions for both images/ and /images/avatars set to 777. I have contacted my host and they know of no safeguards that would be preventing the upload.

[yagami]

directory images and all subdirectory has been change to rwxrwxrwx or 777, but still my avatar can't show, FYI, I'm using Opera v8.01 for uploading avatar

I'm also having this issue but I get "The avatar filetype must be .jpg, .gif or .png" . Any ideas?

I'm also having this issue but I get "The avatar filetype must be .jpg, .gif or .png" . Any ideas?

In includes\usercp_avatar.php find:

Code: Select all

switch( $type )
{
   case 'jpeg':
   case 'pjpeg':
   case 'jpg':
      return '.jpg';
      break;
   case 'gif':
      return '.gif';
      break;
   case 'png':
      return '.png';
      break;
   default:
      $error = true;
      $error_msg = (!empty($error_msg)) ? $error_msg . '<br />' . $lang['Avatar_filetype'] : $lang['Avatar_filetype'];
      break;
}

Change To:

Code: Select all

switch( $type )
{
   case 'jpeg':
   case 'pjpeg':
   case 'image/pjpeg':
   case 'jpg':
      return '.jpg';
      break;
   case 'image/gif':
   case 'gif':
      return '.gif';
      break;
   case 'image/x-png':
   case 'png':
      return '.png';
      break;
   default:
      $error = true;
      $error_msg = (!empty($error_msg)) ? $error_msg . '<br />' . $lang['Avatar_filetype'] : $lang['Avatar_filetype'];
      break;
}

For the rest of you, look in the avatar direcotry and see if the images are there.

geocator,

Thanks for the quick response, I've made the changes you suggested and i'm now getting a different problem. No matter how big you up the "allow avatar size" still says it's too big.

Any ideas?

[geocator]

Hmm, any MODs installed?

[Chops]

Yes, IMPortal and attach_mod_2313

[Chops]

interesting, when you go to User Administration and try from there, it still says: The avatar filetype must be .jpg, .gif or .png

They aren't.
