sodbayar Posted January 14, 2003 Posted January 14, 2003 hello, SNH i created a Forum using Bulletin Board. and i enabled avatars to be uploaded, when i try to register it's not asking me to upload their avatar, it would happen to anyone who's gonna register right. any Gurus know the solution to my problem ????? check it here : http://www.sbmgl.com/forum/profile.php?mod...ter&agreed=true Quote
TCH-Don Posted January 14, 2003 Posted January 14, 2003 After you register, login, goto your profile, and at the bottom you should see Avatar control panel. also if you right click the top logo you will see where to upload your own, with the same name. http://www.sbmgl.com/forum/templates/subSi.../logo_phpBB.gif Quote
sodbayar Posted January 14, 2003 Author Posted January 14, 2003 thanks, but another question. is my avatar pic have to be in specific format?? like .gif or .jpg or something like that. coz i tried and my picture is not uploading or uploaded and not loading. actually when submitted it, its keep saying on the top of the page Warning: Unable to create './images/avatars/514d68613e238303de2be.gif': Permission denied in /home/sodbayar/public_html/forum/includes/usercp_avatar.php on line 227 Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/sodbayar/public_html/forum/includes/usercp_avatar.php:227) in /home/sodbayar/public_html/forum/includes/page_header.php on line 449 Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/sodbayar/public_html/forum/includes/usercp_avatar.php:227) in /home/sodbayar/public_html/forum/includes/page_header.php on line 450 Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/sodbayar/public_html/forum/includes/usercp_avatar.php:227) in /home/sodbayar/public_html/forum/includes/page_header.php on line 451 any answers???

TCH-Don Posted January 14, 2003 Posted January 14, 2003 Are you uploading through the profile panel, as a user would? Quote
sodbayar Posted January 14, 2003 Author Posted January 14, 2003 yes i am. i am just checking if everythings working .... any solutions??? Quote
sodbayar Posted January 14, 2003 Author Posted January 14, 2003 Path under your phpBB root dir, e.g. images/avatars = public_html/forum/image/avatars ??????? is this the right directory??????? Quote
TCH-Don Posted January 14, 2003 Posted January 14, 2003 use images/avatars/gallery/[image type name] to upload images for your users like images/avatars/gallery/animals or let them upload their own, by enabling "Enable avatar uploading' in the General Configuration, so they can upload from their computer.

sodbayar Posted January 14, 2003 Author Posted January 14, 2003 somehow that is not working. and it appears to be there's no way i can upload a avatar, there's no upload browse button an field. ??????? Quote
TCH-Don Posted January 14, 2003 Posted January 14, 2003 Log in, goto admin at the bottom of the page, goto General Configuration, enable "Enable avatar uploading' so they can upload from their computer. Quote
section31 Posted January 14, 2003 Posted January 14, 2003 I'm assuming u are using phpbb, and if u are, this must be the most asked question on the phpbb forums....normally they forget to goto the admin configuration set the avatar path accordingly preferrably images/avatars/uploads...create the directory and then chmod it to 777...hope this helps ...BTW, i saw ur site...good start but i couldn't access ur forums...

sodbayar Posted January 14, 2003 Author Posted January 14, 2003 thanx, you cannot access the form coz i got some error occured on that page. i wanted to delete the forum but there's some fatal error and i cannot delete it and the forum doesnt work Quote
section31 Posted January 14, 2003 Posted January 14, 2003 I'm assuming you wanted to delete the forums so u could start over...and if you are having trouble deleting stuff via ftp...i suggest using the file manager on cpanel...for some reason i've encountered that problem as well...Shell access or the cpanel file manager can delete anything...so try the file manager...

sodbayar Posted January 14, 2003 Author Posted January 14, 2003 thanx but what is chmod???? and my path to avatars is images/avatars ????? what do i need to do more??? Quote
KevinW Posted January 14, 2003 Posted January 14, 2003 chmod is short for 'change mod' -- which means to change or modify the permissions for a file or directory. With Unix/Linux, you can declare whether someone can have Read ( r ) permission, Write (w) permission, or Execute (x) permission for any given file or directory. These permissions are usually listed together as a group of three characters, such as rwx :read/write/execute r-x :read & execute, but not write rw- : read & write, but not execute --x : execute only Not only that, you can further assign these r,w,x permissions to 3 different groups of users: (1) the owner of the file or directory, (2) the group that the owner belongs to, and (3) everyone else, commonly known as 'others'. Most FTP utilities (WsFTP, CuteFTP, etc) provide the ability to do a CHMOD on a file or directory, usually by right clicking on the file or directory in question. You may decide that the owner of the file (you) should be able to read, write and execute the script (rwx), while other people in the group the owner belowns to should only be able to read or execute the script (r-x), and that any other users only be able to execute the script (--x) If so, this is how the permissions may appear: rwx r-x --x Where the first group (rwx) is you, the r-x is others in your group, and --x is for all other users (the world). Since Unix/Linux and computers in general are really mathematical beasts, it's possible to replace rwx with a single value. A read ( r ) is given a value of 4, a write (w) is given a value of 2, and an execute (x) is given a value of 1. Simply decide on your desiered permissions for each gorup (you,, the group, and others) and add up the numbers in each. Examples: rwx = 4 + 2 + 1 = 7 r-x = 4 + 1 = 5 rw- = 4 + 2 = 6 --x = 1 So, my earlier example of rwx r-x --x can also be translated as 751 , where rwx=7 r-x = 5 --x = 1 Finally, In many CGI/PERL scripts, they may include instructions to CHMOD a particular file to 755. Know you know that 755 means: the owner gets top read, write, and execute (rwx = 7) others in the same group can read or execute (r-x = 5) all others in the world can read or execute (r-x = 5) Know, aren't you glad you asked? -kw Quote
