Sidebar avatar (only mine) not showing!

[donald1234]

bump!

How to upgrade from 4.2.1 to 4.2.2? Should I upload all files and overwrite or only the install folder and run upgrade.php? Maybe the upgrade will fix the issue with the avatars?

You will need to upload all the vb 4.2.2 files and delete the install folder after running upgrade.php.

You must upload all files then run the upgrade script.

Backup before you begin.

Hello Joe D. Yes I have uploaded all the files and upgraded to v.4.2.2 but still the avatars not working. The default avatars showing in sidebar but if someone changes the avatar it wont show anymore in sidebar.

When the wrong image is shown in the sidebar, if you right click on the image, what is the URL to the image?

[tim.liton]

its: mysite.com/image.php?u=136&dateline=1362400516&type=thumb

We have the same problem, when we copied the image url link explorer come up with an error that the image has an error. Also, check your image path collates with the actual image url as we found one or two that mysteriously changed numbers (i.e avatar1234-4.jpg to avatar1234-9.jpg)

its: mysite.com/image.php?u=136&dateline=1362400516&type=thumb

And if you go to that in your browser, what happens? What happens if you go to the same URL but remove the &type=thumb from the end?

[tim.liton]

Hello Joe.D.
When i remove the &type=thumb the avatar is showing normally!

Please guys help me.

Then thumbnails are not being created, and that is the issue that needs to get resolved. Are you sure your server has GD or ImageMagick support?

[tim.liton]

Everything was working great till I updated from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2. Now I updated to v.4.2.2 and still wont work.

[tim.liton]

Someone can tell me how to fix it please?

You probably are using Imagemagick and there's an issue with Imagemagick. We had similar problem with avatar thumbnails not showing but for animated gif only. We resolved it by using different version of imagick.

If its imagemagick isuue, what you could do now is change your image processor to GD...
ACP > Settings > Options > Image Settings > GD

Then rebuild the thumbs by going to...
ACP > Maintenance > General Update Tools > Rebuild Custom Avatar Thumbnails


Before you do the above, make sure you are using the file system for your image storage and you are using the correct image directories and properly chmoded to 777 recursively.
