I installed but I cannot activate. I enter url of avatar to membergroup page but when I look at that again I see empty. So this mod is not running perfectly. This mod gives some errors during install I install by manuel. Thanks

Hi, that's weird, did you run the install.php file? It seems that you forgot the database changes.

Hmm - I have a similar problem (but it may be my own fault) : Installed via packet manager, no errors. Database ok Now to my question: which path have I to set in the field for the default avatar? I tried several possibilities already: full server path, path from the forum root dir (./avatars/...), the path from the avatar basedir - no effect neither in postings, in my SimpleDesk portal nor in the user's profile. (BTW: force avatar is checked).

[checkmater]

You need to set the image URL, I do not tried a path for it, so it may not work.

Greetings!

Thanks for your reply. In the meantime I found the correct path from the base avatar folder: <uploaded collection>/img.name without extension There seems to be a bug (?) though: The default avatar for my (new) Lurker group 0-4 posts) is Blacy Avatars/ashamed but it does not show up in the profile nor in Simple Portal (force group avatar is checked). I guess there is the code sequence for selecting the default avatar missing

Can you please send me a link to your site?, so I can look at it and develop a fix.

Hi, this is not a problem with the mod, yo need to specify an image, and the URL should be valid, please revie it.

http://forum.michgeyer.de/Blacy%20Emoticons/ashamed is not a valid image.

Greetings!

Well - that was my first question. In the settings you must not give a complete path but a filesystem path relative to the general avatar path. The complete URI is http://forum.michgeyer.de/avatars/Blacy%20Emoticons/ashamed.png although in the member group the setting says  Default Membergroup avatar: Blacy Emoticons/ashamed

With this entry the avatar shows in the forum head but not in the user profile nor in Simple Portal 2.3.5
