Help Avatars not showing up in the forum

[Icewolf 258]

The database transfer is going well. I can upload avatars, but they do not show up in posts, profiles, or on the ACP user list, but do when looking at a user's information in the ACP, showing that the image is uploaded. I think it might be something to do with the coding for the avatar url paths, but I don't know where these are to fix them.

Can I grab your site link? Just in case it's not in the usual template.

[Icewolf 258]

Sure. I have it closed right now to stop people from signing up as it's no where near ready for opening.

Did you remove the CDN url? Check your Admin Panel settings first but if they are correct there then check the file below.

Go to File Manager

• Right click on Public_HTML > Inc > settings.php download it to back up the file.
• Right click and edit. Click Edit.
• Find 

  
  $settings['cdnurl'] = "https://static18.icyboards.net/pirates";

  Where the end word is your icyboard's forum URL. Can't find it or any cdnurl? Good! Skip the next step.

• Make sure to empty it

  
  $settings['cdnurl'] = "";

   

• Find 

  
  $settings['avataruploadpath'] = "./uploads/avatars";

   

• Make sure the upload path mirrors the above.

• Find 

  
  $settings['cookiedomain'] = ".icyboards stuff here";

  Make sure it's changed to your own domain, so for my site it's

• 
  $settings['cookiedomain'] = ".kit.wootflakes.com";

   

• Click on save.

In addition to ensuring that the settings are correct in the ACP (you can find where to look in the guide spoiler alert: it's the site details, Server & Optimization Options and profile options in the settings)

 

postbit_classic - has an error.

<div <span class="post_avatar" style="">

Make sure to open the div properly

 

Templates

postbit_avatar - holds the actual avatar. It should have {$useravatar['image']} as the image source.

memberlist_user_avatar - is the template for the memberlist. It should also have {$useravatar['image']} as the image source.

 

However, if you look at your page source you'll note that there are a lot of references to icyboards. I am more inclined to stick my flag next to Morrigan's. In particular, that you are pointed at Spork's CDN ( Configuration > Settings > Server & Optimization Options ). Check your ACP settings in the areas mentioned. Checking the settings.php is more about double checking or a temporary solution to help you get into the ACP. The ACP will over write the settings file in due time.

 

In future, if you can't remember what template to edit, right click on the element you want to edit and select inspect element. Some code will pop up on the bottom or the side of the screen:

 

The amazing thing about mybb is that it starts each of it's templates with <!-- start: template_name --> so you can see that the avatar is in the memberlist_user_avatar.

 

Hope that helps! Holler if you need further help. :D

It is in the ACP settings. What do I change them to?

 

Uploads path is: ./userfiles/legendsofarda/uploads

 

URL to use for static files: https://static18.icyboards.net/legendsofarda

 

Is it ok just to remove them?

From the guide that I linked you to:

 

- Go to your new forum and log into your Admin CP.

- Click on Configuration > Settings

- Site details

-- Board URL - your new forum's URL. Do NOT include the trailing slash. So pirates.com not pirates.com/

-- Homepage URL - Your new forum's URL.

-- Cookie Domain - empty it

- Click on Save Settings

 

- Go to Configuration > Settings > Profile Options

- Scroll down to Avatar Upload Path and make sure that it's set to ./uploads

 

- Go to Configuration > Settings > Server & Optimization Options

- Scroll down to Uploads Path and change the value to ./uploads

- Scroll down to Use a CDN? Select No and save settings.

 

Is there anything that you have found that I missed?

Thanks. It seems to be working now. If I come across anything else, I'll let you know.
