Images uploaded have a really low quality. Is there any way to have the process set to retain quality? I read a post above by rayk mentioning adding a value after $OutputImage such as 100. Following that the image processing changed to phpThumb and line 262 refers to something else completely.

Does anyone know where I would now put this value?

Resilient: I'm using an older version of this addon, I think 1.1. Haven't played with the new addon to find where it's gone to :(.

This is going to be long but I set the permissions, I made the folders but I keep getting this error:

Can you help me?? THANK YOU anyone who can help me out here. Have a lovely day!!

Still nobody knows how to increase the quality?
and:
how do i turn off the resizing for images that fit in the max- values?

Hi, I tried to install it and also created the directories with chmod777. Nevertheless the thing doesn´t seem to work. (Do these directories need to be in "path/to/vanilla/uploads..." or in "path/to/vanilla/extensions/AccountPictures/uploads..."? Now I did both)

When I try to upload pictures he doesn´t complain about anything, but the images won´t upload.

(Btw. The addon Attachment 2 doesn´t work as well)

---

O.k., I finally found the solution by accident. The problem is my webhost, which doesn´t support PHP Upload. (I never heard you can permit PHP, but forbid Upload, that´s why I didn´t check that option).
So there´s no work-around for me unfortunately :(

I am moving my forum to a new server and it appears the image paths for icons and account pictures are not based on Application Path, they still refer to old domain and host. How do I fix this? Is there a setting that I need to change or am I out of luck. Please help

T1, yes unfortunately it does that. The easiest (but fiddly) way is to correct it in the database using phpmyadmin etc (backup first!). In the table LUM_User do an SQL search in the Picture field for your domain-name and remove it altogether s that teh path starts with the opening / after the domain. From then on it should be okay if you transfer to another server, providing of course you don't change the path structure.

The way to stop it in future is to find the two lines below (a few lines apart from each other) in function AccountPicturesForm (about 1/3 way into the default.php for the add-on) and replace BASE_URL (which includes the whole domain) with WEB_ROOT (which begins from the first / after the domain). You can verify the values for these in your conf/settings.php file:

$User->Icon = $Context->Configuration['BASE_URL'] . $Context->Configuration['ACCOUNTPICTURES_UPLOAD_PATH'] . $FileName;
and
$User->Picture = $Context->Configuration['BASE_URL'] . $Context->Configuration['ACCOUNTPICTURES_UPLOAD_PATH'] . $FileName;

I'm not well versed in SQL either, but I can use google ...

UPDATE tablename SET tablefield = replace(tablefield,"findstring","replacestring");
which I guess would translate to:

UPDATE LUM_User SET Picture = replace(Picture,"http://your-domain.com","");
(as always backup first if you're not sure!)

I'm having a conflict between the Predefined Attributes extension and this one.
When trying to upload an image, I receive this error:

Notice: Undefined property: UserManager::$User in /extensions/PredefinedAttributes/default.php on line 509
The image does get uploaded and assigned successfully though.

The referenced line is around:

function PredefinedAttributes_AddFromPersonalInformation($UserManager) {
$pa = new PredefinedAttributes($UserManager->Context, $UserManager->User);
$pa->AddFromPersonalInformation($UserManager);
}
$Context->AddToDelegate('UserManager', 'PreIdentityUpdate', 'PredefinedAttributes_AddFromPersonalInformation');


Your predefined attributes get reset. :(

I've asked this before I still haven't been able to find an answer to this, but when you use this extension, you can upload two files-- the icon and the picture. Why do you upload the picture? I doesn't appear to display anywhere beside the upload page.

Let me clarify: I upload an account picture (icon is working fine), and this picture uploads fine, and is displayed on my account pictures setting page (showing the current picture uploaded), but the picture does not show up on my account profile page (All I see is the icon, name, and the user attributes data). Is there anything I have to do in the default.php of this to turn the feature 'on'?

UPDATE:
Got it to work by changing line 23 in account_profile.php from

if ($this->User->Picture != "" && $this->User->Permission('PERMISSION_HTML_ALLOWED')) echo "<li class=\"Picture\" style=\"background-image: url('".$this->User->Picture."');\">&nbsp;</li>";

to

if ($this->User->Picture != "" ) echo "<li class=\"Picture\" style=\"background-image: url('".$this->User->Picture."');\">&nbsp;</li>";


If anyone can explain to me where to either set PERMISSION_HTML_ALLOWED to true for all users, or why its there, that would be great.

users get confused when theres the Account Picture and Icon stuff on the personal information page AND a separate page for uploading account pictures. it seems like it would be more intuitive if the uploading functionality could be integrated with the personal information page.

Yeah... but still. I think it would be nice to have it all on one page.

I get the following error when trying to add pictures to my account:


Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class phpthumb in /XXXXXXXX/forum/extensions/AccountPictures/phpThumb/phpthumb.class.php on line 18


Does anyone know why this might be? I'm using Vanilla 1.1.4

If you'd like the image is scaled to the maximum dimension (as I believe it used to be), rather than scaled to the minimum dimension and then cropped on the large direction, comment out the line

// $phpThumb->setParameter('zc', '1');
in function CreateImage in default.php.

Reason: zc=1 switches on zoomcrop for phpthumb. zoomcrop is perhaps good for photos where most people are the centre of the photo but it is no good for logos.

I have been trying to give myself an icon for the past 2 weeks now, and after I save the icon in the Account Pictures settings page, it redirects me to a blank page with a little black square icon in the upper left corner that reads nogd. What does that mean??? I have made the upload folder, set my permissions right and it just won't work for me.
Come to find out, it has something to to with php-gd. You have to have it installed. I didn't. So for all you guys who get that little icon of noGD, now you know. -actually, it might be a good idea to list php-gd as one of the requirements in the AccountPictures "read me" file so the user doesn't have to go searching all over the net trying to find out what that little nogd icon means. For the beginner, I think it should be easier than this.

The problem I'm finding at the moment, is someone has specified an off-site image as their icon. Although it's 32 pixels wide. It's something like 128 pixels tall.

It works fine if you upload a picture through the interface. I'm tempted to just edit the code so people can't inject a URL themselves, as this appears to the be only issue. And honestly, I think I'd sooner disable off-site images anyway.

But on the off chance, has anyone else had this problem and/or fixed it?

I'm using GD, not ImageMagick btw.

Update:

I didn't realise, but the ability to have an avatar as an off-site URL is built into Vanilla. The add-on is working perfectly, but it conflicts with the built in functionality. Is there a way of easily removing the options for those URLs in the Account settings, without editing too many files?

Update 2:

I have removed this functionality, by editing account_identity_form.php. Search for the line with "GetDefinition('AccountPicture') and I've changed the code to the following, which basically remarks the old code and adds in two hidden elements with the previous data in, to stop the values being erased. This doesn't protect against POST injection, but that's not a huge problem.

/*
echo '<li>
<label for="txtPicture">'.$this->Context->GetDefinition('AccountPicture').'</label>
<input type="text" name="Picture" value="'.$this->User->Picture.'" maxlength="255" class="SmallInput" id="txtPicture" />
<p class="Description">
'.$this->Context->GetDefinition('AccountPictureNotes').'
</p>
</li>
<li>
<label for="txtIcon">'.$this->Context->GetDefinition('Icon').'</label>
<input type="text" name="Icon" value="'.$this->User->Icon.'" maxlength="255" class="SmallInput" id="txtIcon" />
<p class="Description">
'.$this->Context->GetDefinition('IconNotes').'
</p>
</li>
</ul>';

*/

//new code

echo '<input type="hidden" name="Picture" value="'.$this->User->Picture.'" maxlength="255" class="SmallInput" id="txtPicture" />
<input type="hidden" name="Icon" value="'.$this->User->Icon.'" maxlength="255" class="SmallInput" id="txtIcon" />';

Jazz,

The Account Pictures and the Vanea Black theme aren't playing nice with each other.

help? thanks!

Update: fixed a bug with people who don't have an uploaded image.

The following modification will IGNORE the height value. Any image will be resized to the set width (280 default). This is great for uploading portrait images.

First, find:

$this->Picture = $User->Picture . '?' . time();

And afterwards add:

if ($User->Picture)
{
$imagedetails = getimagesize($this->Picture);
$this->PictureHeight = $imagedetails[1];
}
else
{
$this->PictureHeight=0;
}

This gets the size of the uploaded image, so that the style is set correctly on the image with viewing the images on the upload page.

Then, find:

$phpThumb->setParameter('h', $NewHeight);

And remark the line. This means that only a new width is passed to phpthumb and is therefore scaled proportionally.

Then find:

$AddStyle = str_replace('{PictureHeight}', $Context->Configuration['ACCOUNTPICTURES_PICTURE_HEIGHT'], $AddStyle);

And replace it with:

$AddStyle = str_replace('{PictureHeight}', $pheight, $AddStyle);

Any time before this line, say above all the $AddStyle declarations, add:

$pheight = $Context->Configuration['ACCOUNTPICTURES_PICTURE_HEIGHT'];

if ($Context->SelfUrl == 'account.php' && $Context->Session->UserID > 0)
{
$tuser = $UserManager->GetUserById($Context->Session->UserID);

if ($tuser->Picture)
{
$imagedetails = getimagesize($tuser->Picture . '?' . time());
$pheight = $imagedetails[1];
}
}

And you're done! Note that this uses the GD library to get the image details. So if you're using ImageMagick, unless you have GD compiled as well, this won't work.

It has been mentioned. Possibly something to do with the upload class being used twice and causing conflicts or something. hmm..

ok I'll give it a try tonight and let you know

Lament - the include_once wasn't meant to fix that, it fixes uploading both the icon and picture at the same time.

For your issue, I had the same problem with the standard vanilla theme when going above the default 32x32.

Your issue will be with the style sheet in some way - either the VaneaBlack theme was designed to take a smaller icon size, or wasn't designed for one at all.

If you've not done much CSS, install the Web Developer plugin for FireFox and you will pretty quickly be able to diagnose what's going on :)

Yes - read my post above, explaining exactly how.

okay so that's not gonna work ... it doesn't add them one at a time, it adds them all aat once, and i don't know php well enough to exclude just those ones.
