Question [Resolved] Guest Avatar Not Showing Up After Upgrade

Thank you :blush: - it's a team effort (see also PM).

We'll be looking forward to your discoveries. I think I'll move this topic into our Community Builder category (even though it looks like it's the Kunena side of the integration that's getting in the way of a smooth operation for you).

Update: I was told to make sure I had the most current version the Simpleboard plugin, so I'm working on that. However, in the meantime I just noticed something potentially very important! When I looked at the Recent Discussions tab on my site, there was at least one latest post by a guest. And sure enough, the guest avatar showed up!


So it looks like the two areas area acting differently based upon guest avatars...

Ok, I wasn't able to get a good answer from over at Joomlapolis unfortunately, but in reality, I don't think that is the issue to begin with. Considering that the guest image shows up elsewhere in the forum, it looks like it is a Kunena issue.

But what I did was just fiddle with it and on the view.php file, there is this code around line 581:

And what I did was simply change it to "true" instead of "false". That actually worked, although the images all get resized a different way than before. I am not a coder, so I really have no idea why that worked, but it did. Do you think that's ok - in other words, will that have changed something for the worse somewhere else? (And do you know where the CSS is for the new resized image?)

Thanks!

That's a novel solution to your problem. For the images that are now too large, does K 1.5.8 & K 1.5.9: Large CB avatar images help?

The "novel solution" was actually just randomly changing things until something worked... :woohoo:

Before this latest issue, I actually had that image size problem and the fix you referred to worked for me. BUT, when I made the latest change (changing to "true"), now all images are resized to a max width of 60 pixels. That's not a big deal at all, in the big scheme of things, but if I knew where it was located I would probably make it a bit bigger. No worries, though!


(On a side note, is there not any way to stay logged in to Kunena.com when I use FB Connect to log in? Does it not have a "remember me" feature?)

Let me start with your off-topic question first: I don't know anything about Facebook Connect apart from what I wrote earlier today in another discussion: How to get FACEBOOK connect .

You would also see, from the K 1.5.8 & K 1.5.9: Large CB avatar images discussion, we were discussing Kunena's use (or non-use) of CB thumbnail images for avatars in the forum.

I think, on the basis of what you have found, and the other discussion on the whole issue of Kunena's use of CB avatar images, that work needs to be done to address the situation in a better way than through our workarounds.

Thank you for your help. I will try to get this matter on the developer's priority list, but I suspect it will be some little while longer before they address it.
