profile picture does not show.

Hey guys,

Im kinda new here but although i been reading all the topics and founc them very useful and interesting.  I have a problem with my site. After installing Dolphin 6.1, when a user upload his/her picture, it doesn't show the actually image but upload is successful. I tried unchecking the GD Lib but that only affected the security image.  Please can someone help. Thank

You need GD library or imagemagick. Because that is used for image processing during upload.

Hello,

Thanks for repling, very much appreciated it.  I have GD Library checked in the admin panel but i cant find imagemagick anywhere.  Please tell me, how can i get it?

Many thanks

Check with php.info if GD library with true fonts is available on your server or ask your host provider.

If you have GD installed, you don't need ImageMagick.

Hello Mich,

Thanks for your reply.  I just emailed my host now asking if GD library with true fonts is available/installed on the server.  Hopefully they will get back to me and i will fill you guys with the feedback.

One more thing i forgot to mention is that, the image i upload on classified items actually shows but not the profile picture. So i don't know if its something i did wrong.

Regards

Chudi.

Hello Mich,

Just got reply from my host and they said GD Library is installed.

I really don't know what's wrong.

any chance the pics are awaiting moderation?

No, it approved automatically.

Open your file inc/header.inc.php to check the path to profile images.

Also check in your database if these pictures are really active...

Open the folder media/images/profile/some_no/

Whether the uploaded images are there. There will be 3 files for each upload.

Hello Everyone,

Sorry to replying this late, was a bit with exams.  But anyway thanks to everyone

that has helped me sorting out this problem.  I have been able to fix the profile picture

to show but on the homepage, member picture and gallery picture doesnt show.

I followed praveen suggestion (Open the folder media/images/profile/some_no/) and i was able to

make the profile show up by deleting "Indexes-Topic", some command like this. Thanks.

Now the new dilemma now is gettin the member and gallery picture to show.  Any more ideas please.

Many Thanks

Chudi.

I can't understand what you mean. Plz. explain

Hello Parveen,

I meant that, i got the profile picture displaying now, thanks to you.  But the "MEMBERS column on index page (homepage) www.c-dizzle.co.uk, doesnot display members picture.  And when a member puts up a poll, his/her picture doesn't display beside the poll.

I hope you understand what i mean now, you can chedck out ma site and see what i mean.

Thanks Alot for your assistance.

Chudi.

Open the folder "media/images/profile/some_no/"

check whether there are files that starts with

"thumb_"

"icon_"

Hello Parveen,

Yes there are files that begin with thumb, icon and photo.

icon_1211805697.jpg

photo_1211805697.jpg

thumb_1211805697.jpg

I don't know what else to do, maybe i need to reinstall dolphin from fresh again.

This may be too obvious, but it's at least worth explaining if you're new.

When a user signs up, and uploads a photo, it is not automatically set as their primary profile image.

Once a profile photo is uploaded, the user must either click on the default grey profile image, or Profile Photos menu option, which will bring them to the profiles photo gallery, select an image, then click to make it their primary profile image.

Check whether there is any restriction from server side. You can see your server error logs.

under media/images/profile/

i do not have a "some_no" directory..no pictures are showing up and I cannot upload a picture once the account is already created..i would expect to be able to do this under the edit profile page--but I cannot add it in the builder area either

I am using hostmonster.com--which websites say does have GD library capability

Hi, I am having this same problem with D-7.0.9  

Everything is working on a new installation, except I see no photo uploads, either from initial profile picture upload during account creation, I see no avatar option, or any options to change profile picture under Profile Settings.  

I don't have any ./media/images/profile/some_no folder either which by the following looks like where it should be

My inc./header.inc.php file has:   $dir['profileImage'] = "{$dir['root']}media/images/profile/";  

Has anyone been able to figure this out?  I'm stumped after hours.....

Thanks

just a thought did you installed avatar module.....:)

Thanks for your quick reply - that was indeed what I was overlooking! I didn't think to find modules to add below 'Tools' and not the 'Modules' main section (where I was only seeing flash modules)!  Thanks a bunch!
