[FIXED] Following Plug-In, not showing friends pictures

mattrl

Anyone else have this issue? When I follow someone, it adds them as a friend and I can view the count in my profile. However, is the friend I'm following has an avatar, then is just shows a corrupted img file.

Seems to be missing the correct link to the image. This plugin also does not show the gravitar (from gravitar plug-in). Anyone else having this same issue?

I have the same issue, profile pics are broken. The plugin itself is very neat

@Raize

If you have found a fix, please let me know. It's a bit annoying to see broken images on a smooth forum... sticks out like a sore thumb!

Raize

I haven't found a fix, but I'm sure the next release will work better... it's a neat feature

mattrl

A real nice feature would be to grab each users current FaceBook avatar. Most of our users don't have anything uploaded for a picture

Raize

@mattrl i feel your pain... twitter pic would be better though (same dimensions)

Coders

The profile thumbnails are broken, looks like the "n" in the encrypted image name is misplaced. Fix please, thanks.

I'm having a similar problem, though worse. Even after disabling and uninstalling the plugin all user profile pictures are broken.

Any ideas on a fix?

I also have this problem.

The fix is actually very easy to implement:

In plugins/Following/class.followingmodule.php, change:

<img src="<?php echo Url('uploads'.DS.'n'.$User['Photo'], TRUE); ?>" />

to

<img src="<?php echo Url($User['Photo'], TRUE); ?>" />

...which removes the "uploads/n" portion of the image url.

It occurs twice, at lines 62 and 83. I'm not experienced in Vanilla plugin development, but it looks like the plugin expects a relative url based in the uploads folder, but it's actually getting an absolute url from $User['Photo'].

andelf

<?php echo Url('uploads'.DS.ChangeBasename($User['Photo'], 'n%s'), TRUE); ?>

Doesn't work for me either, the plugin also doesn't fetch the prefixes like "n"000000001.jpg or "p"000000001.jpg, you get just a 000000001.jpg link.

this plugin remains approved despite previous errors, why is that? or is it already fixed?

Hello all,
here is my solution:

After the foreach in line 58 and 79 add
$pieces = explode("/", $User['Photo']);
And replace the
<img src="<?php echo Url('uploads'.DS.'n'.$User['Photo'], TRUE); ?>" />
with:
<img src="<?php echo 'uploads'.DS.$pieces[0].DS.'n'.$pieces[1] ?>" />

So it will look like something like this:
foreach ($Followees as $User) { $pieces = explode("/", $User['Photo']); ?> <div> <a title="<?php echo $User['Name']; ?>" href="<?php echo Url("profile/{$User['UserID']}/{$User['Name']}", TRUE); ?>"> <img src="<?php echo 'uploads'.DS.$pieces[0].DS.'n'.$pieces[1] ?>" /> </a> </div>

Don't forget to repeat step for the second foreach in the code.

PS. There could be better code out there than mine :P

Hello all,
After a small dig...

In plugins/Following/class.followingmodule.php, replace:
<img src="<?php echo Url('uploads'.DS.'n'.$User['Photo'], TRUE); ?>" />
with:
<img src="<?php echo 'uploads'.DS.ChangeBasename($User['Photo'], 'n%s'); ?>" />

There are two occurrences in the file.

keesha

tried your code, and double checked the procedure, but sadly no effect

martian

Try this:
<img src="<?php echo Url('uploads/' . ChangeBasename($User['Photo'], 't%s')); ?>" />

The function ChangeBasename is how applications/dashboard/controllers/class.profilecontroller.php does it

Donutman

I can confirm that works. I'll close this topic. Thanks @martian
