Question New Avatar Problem with Kunena 1.7.1 and CB 1.7.1

Hello. I recently tried to change my avatar on my site and noticed that the behavior was no longer working as it used to. When I upload the picture to use for the avatar it shows as if it has been uploaded and working but no longer appears on the Login module on the sidebar and doesn't show up on the actual posts. The avatar only shows up in small form on the top of the forum when viewing the index.

This used to work perfectly and only occurs when a user goes to change avatars. All the previous avatars that people had still work so the issue is quite puzzling to me.

I will include some screenshots:

Please note in Screenshot one that the "R" icon is the avatar that I uploaded. It is supposed to show up (it used to anyway) on the right side on top of the 'log out' button.

In screenshot 2, please note that the avatar is correct up top but not in the actual post.





This feature used to work perfectly and now without it the forum is an eyesore. Please help me determine what I need to do or what has changed to correct this issue.

I don't think we can help until we see your unedited Kunena configuration report. Please read What information should I include when I ask for help (including how to post my configuration report)? .

Your problem could be caused by any number of things. Could be folder/file permissions; could be a Javascript library conflict with Joomla; could be a Community Builder matter. I don't know. Hard to advise further without the required information )that you've removed) from your configuration report.

Most likely, the issue is caused by using an old, outdated and unsupported Kunena template. What happens if you use the Blue Eagle template?

I apologize for that oversight. I edited the original post with the required information.

I will attempt the template change and post back the results. Thank you for your time.

EDIT: Same problem. Screenshot posted:



I wanted to mention that the "Login" box on the right used to display the avatar before this problem appeared. That is the "CBLogin" module and it seems to have the same problem that the avatar function is having within Kunena as well.

Do you advise that I take this matter to the CB Forums? I have searched there for something related to this but I didn't know exactly which website to start on.

Thanks.

Please read Legacy mode in the Wiki.

Ah ok, so get Joomla to 1.5.25 and then ditch Legacy mode?

I'll see what I can do.

Ditch legacy mode, first. That's a must. Chances are that you're using an old J! 1.0 extension that's causing your problem (possibly something to do with CB, I can't say). Update J! 1.5.25 any time. There are a number of security vulnerabilities that are fixed with the later version of Joomla.

OK, got everything done in a snap.

I just need to proceed from here I guess:

Upgrade Kunena Latest.

Don't use that broken Kunena template. Use the Blue Eagle template.

I think you have some Joomla menu issues, too. Read Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) , and rebuild your Kunena menu as explained in the FAQs. If you want to create a custom menu, read the article in the Wiki Customised menus .

AFAIK Kunena Latest's most recent release is 1.6.4.

I'm not sure what you mean by Joomla Menu issues. I wasn't the original person to create the menus in Kunena or Joomla but before I go tearing everything apart can you please explain what we did wrong with the menus?

Kunena Latest 1.7.1 is available from the download page. Kunena Latest 1.6.4 was released in May last year and has been superseded (twice).

Your configuration report shows that you have a "non-standard" Kunena menu. Standardise it first. I've given you links on what you need to look at.

The technique to resolving problems with Kunena is to start with a working system: a proven, tested, up-to-date Joomla base with the most-recently released stable and supported versions of Joomla extension software. If people attend to the basics, first, most of the problems they have quickly disappear. Most of these matters we are discussing here are canvassed in detail in the K 1.6 and K 1.7 Upgrade Guide which we ask people to read before they upgrade Kunena.
