Avatars not showing up in CMPS

[ncangler]

I have upgraded to vbulletin 3.5, CMPS 2.0.0 for 3.5, etc. My avatars show up fine in vBulletin but do not show up in CMPS. I can't figure out what could be causing this. Any ideas? Thanks for the help.

Here is the CMPS page: http://www.thestudiocafe.com/?

Admin CP => Avatars => User Picture Storage Type

On that page, select the 'Move Avatars to a Different Directory' option, then make sure you enter './images/customavatars' as the Avatar Filepath and 'images/customavatars' for the URL to avatars.

The path created for the customavatars folder by vBulletin when I did the install was ./customavatars and I had my avatar in there. The avatar shows up everywhere in vBulletin with that path as it should. But it does not show up on the CMPS page, Gallery or Links pages. So there is a connection being lost between vBulletin and the vBadvanced products somewhere. ?

i encountered this problem too... but i fixed it by doing so:

open your welcomeblock.php and find this line
$avatarurl = $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/' . $avatarurl[0];

change it to
$avatarurl = $avatarurl[0];


and viola! :D

Worked for me. Thanks!

Thanks Keymistress. That solved the avatar problem with the Welcome block but they are still not showing up in the news section. I looked for an avatar setting in the news.php but didn't see one.

There are several lines of code in the news.php module that could be the culprit but I'm not sure which one to change. Brian, it looks like others are having this problem too. Is there an official fix for this?

The path you're using currently is not the default way vB stores avatars, and that's why you're having problems. If you use that option though so that the paths will be updated then that will fix the problem.

[ncangler]

That is the way vBulletin installed the files on my system. I tried changing the path in CP but it did not make a difference. A step by step example of what you think I should do would be very much appreciated.

[Brian]

I'm not entirely sure why that wouldn't have worked... Would you like to just submit a support ticket and let me have a look at things?

[ncangler]

That would be great. I'll do it now.

Brian, I've just upgraded another site (Triumphowners.net) and I'm having the same problem with Avatars not showing up in the CMPS. Can you tell me what you did to fix theStudioCafe.com?

That's all I did on your other site.

[ncangler]

I've got it now. I was putting the entire URL path in. Duh! Thanks for your patience Brian. :)

I have the same issue.

I tries the move avators and all I get is


vBulletin Message

We attempted to write a test file to .images/customavatars, but we were unsuccessful. Please verify that the web server has write/delete permissions for this path.

I have changes the dir to 777

Is your customavatars folder in your images folder? I just moved mine and it worked.

[CorvetteMan]

Worked for me. Thanks!

Worked for me too. Thank you.:D

And me too, although I suggest that vBadvanced shouldn't use the original vB_bburl variable, but instead it should use it's own defined one (if cmps installed else where).

Thank you for the great support and replies.

I had this problem aswell, thanx for providing the help :D

Brilliant. Problem puzzled me but editing the welcomeblock.php solved it. God bless open-source and god bless you :)
