Adding Profile Phot and URL to view_video.tpl

[grynmoors]

I have solved in a "drastic" way, just putted 3000 standard pictures on /photo/, batch renamed 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg etc etc... So the script have the pictures to associate to users (first 3000) and when a user upload his picture automatically the default one is overwritten! ;)
Rough but it works!

The code you provided works to get their profile picture showing, is what you did make it so that a generic picture will show if the person has not uploaded one?

I'm revisiting this because I want to use the profile pics on the view_video.tpl

I haven't figured out how to get the no_pic.gif to display when no profile picture has been uploaded, but raimus, how did you mass rename the images? I have Vista and when I go to do it it does this: 1(2).jpg, 1(3).jpg...it puts the original name with the sequential number in a parenthesis.

OOPS, never mind, I found this handy little thing:

I tried this. When I uploaded a new avatar, it was not overwritten. :/

Yes it is overwritten! I'm using it for a long time and it is working fine.. May be you need to reload the page or clear the cache of the browser? ;)

[grynmoors]

Tried that and even went into FTP to check the image and view it, it was still the default image. Weird, huh...

[ramius]

Permission CMOD of the folder? Is it right?

[grynmoors]

Oh definately.

It says "your upload was successful", yet the image doesn't get overwritten, which it *should* especially if a person decides to change their profile picture. I'll have to test this on all my sites and see what happens.
