a questions about avatars

[Shelly]

Im sorry for asking so many questions. This is my first VB and Im still a little loss...





How do I set it to upload avatars? Members cant upload personal ones. ( this is what they get...

Imageinfo Failed:
/identify: not found )


Thank you so much for the helping :)

Sounds to me like you set a directory for avatars to be uploaded to, and that directory don't exist.

this is my exact problem. where would i start looking for that non-existant directory or how to fix it.

please help, thanks.

What does it say at AdminCP->Avatars->User Picture Storage Type?

[patrickstar]

in: Admin CP -> Avatars -> User Picture Storage Type

avatar file path ---> ./customavatars

URL to avatars ---> customavatars

and the way my vB is setup is i have my public_html with a Forums folder and all my forums files in that. and the customavatars file is in that 'Forums' folder. do i need to move those files elsewhere?

What does it say there?

[patrickstar]

it says:

Images are currently being served from the database

AdminCP->vBulletin Options->Image Settings:

What are the values for:
Allow Image Size Checking Failure
Image Processing Library
..(And is there a picture showing under it?)
Image Verification Library
GD Version
Generate PNG Thumbnails

AdminCP->vBulletin Options->Image Settings:

What are the values for:
Allow Image Size Checking Failure :YES
Image Processing Library : ImageMagick6
..(And is there a picture showing under it?):with no image just red X
Image Verification Library : GD
GD Version : Detected GD Version 2.0.28

Generate PNG Thumbnails : YES

thanks so much for helping.

*edit*

it looks like i have no file path for ImageMagick6.

ImageMagick Binary Path = BLANK

ok so when i use GD i can upload an avatar. so when im set to use ImageMagick6 i cant due to no path specified.

im not sure where to go from here.

**EDIT**

ok i think i figured it out, maybe. do i need to install ImageMagick6 on my sever? lol. i hope i didnt go thru all this to come to this. lol

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Yes if you want to use ImageMagick it must be installed on the server. Most servers have by default only GD installed.

I suggest you start by using GD and see if that solve your problems.

[patrickstar]

thanks, i will do that.
