Hi all,

I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I have gone into my DNN profile and uploaded an image to the Photo section via users-manage profile. I have then gone to the User Detail Template and added the [photo] tag. Right now all that shows up is the number 7106.

What exactly am I doing wrong here?

Thanks,
Drew

Hi Drew - Well actually all DNN does when you save your profile image is saves the actual File ID number to that file within the file system. This can make it difficult for other systems to actually pull out the real file and it has to be handled via code.

The good news is that we did code for this

So, you should be able to go to module configuration and define all of your settings there for the [UserImage] token. [UserImage] is a specific token within the Dynamic User Directory module that should look at your settings there in module configuration where you can choose things like the thumbnail size, if you want an alternate profile image if a user doesn't have one, etc...

Thanks,

Chad

Thanks for the quick reply Chad.

The thing is I am using the [photo] token instead of [userimage] because every time I use that one it creates an issue were I get logged out continuously.

I have a field in the Dynamic Registration that allows the user to upload an image and the module configuration referencing this. What should the "User Image Field" contain to reference this? Is it Photo?

Thanks,
Drew

Hi Drew - Well I do know that the [photo] token itself is only going to render what DNN stores as the ID for the file (it references the FileID which references the Files table which has the directory and file name in it etc...)

So the bigger issue is what the [userimage] token isn't working for you. We might need you to set us up with host rights or open a support ticket so that we can review why you are getting logged out when referencing the user image field token. It should be taking your settings, finding the FileID number for that user and finding the actual file name, displaying a thumbnail of that file based on the thumbnail settings etc...

Is this on a local host environment? Is this using a standard URL such as www.site.com or something like www.site.com/anotherdirectory?

If you open a support ticket we should be able to do some research and debugging on why the user image token isn't working. I do know that you will need it and won't be able to go the direction you are going with the other token.

Thanks,

Chad, I'm experiencing a similar situation as the OP with the number displaying when I use [photo] . When I use [userimage], for users who do indeed have images the "no user image" is displayed (/DesktopModules/Dynamic User Directory/NoUserImage.jpg). Users who really don't have an image have the browser's missing image displayed. Can you provide examples?

Please include some HTML and any values that should be in the configuration settings section titled:
"User Image / User Online Image / User Offline Image"

• Integration Type
• User Image Field
• Image Location
• Image Type

Thanks, I'm trying to get this working but based on your description I'm not sure how it matches up to those fields. A concrete example might help.
For example, I've looked at the file system for the user images, and they have real names, not numbers, so I don't know what path to use. (since apparently it isn't Portals/[portalid]/Users/[userid]/[userid]/[userid] which is what I guessed.

I'm on DNN 5.6.1 and the trial module that I downloaded tonight.

I'm seeing the same behavior. Profiles with photos are displaying as "NoUserImage.jpg".

Chad,

Wow, now I'm concerned.  The last couple of posts are 6 months old and I see no replies and there still is no documentation on the photos features.

We just purchased Dynamic User Directory yesterday and I installed and started configuring last night.  Everything seemed straight forward until I tried getting the user photos to work.  I am experiencing the same problem as the last two posts.  Please help!

Can we please have some explanation of the fields in the "User Image / User Online Image / User Offline Image" section of the COnfiguration screen?  Also, an example and updated documentation would be greatly appreciated.  The example could be just the templates used on your demo site and in the video.

Thanks,

Chuck

I did some more digging and I am seeing what appears to be an invalid URL. I have a feeling that this is related to what others have posted regarding not knowing what entries to put in the "User Image" fields on the module configuration screen. Below is the URL that is seen when right-clicking the missing image and looking at the properties for the object.  Note the "double slashes" just before "DUDThumbnail.ashx".

...DesktopModules/Dynamic%20User%20Directory//DUDThumbNail.ashx?width=150&height=150&Image=Users/102/02/102/Chuck-Rizzio-200.jpg.

Below is a screen-shot of what I am seeing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I was having this problem a couple of months ago - I couldn't find what I supposed to put in the User Image fields. Chad referred me to this post which was very helpful:

http://www.datasprings.com/news/blo...rectory-pr

Currently, this is what I have entered and everthing seems to be working:

Integration Type: Dynamic Registration
User Image Field: imgUpload
Image Location: /portals/0/DynamicRegistration_Images/
Image Type: Thumbnail with full image hyperlink

As I said, these are my settings and it works well. Good luck

Jim

Sorry, I just noticed that you aren't using Dynamic Registratoin and as you can see, my site does. Maybe what I just gave you doesn't help much. Sorry, again.

Jim

Jim

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

You were right in that we are not using the Dynamic Registration module but the article you refered to solved the problem. Not knowing what to put into the User Image fields I left most blank. The article explained each of the fields (an added bonus). I added "/Portals/0/" for the "Image Location" and BINGO it worked.

Thanks again!

Chuck

Thanks for pointing out the blog post, Jim! I was about to refer Chuck there when I noticed your post.

Chuck, thanks for bringing it up and for letting us know that the article was helpful. For those following this post, here's the link to the blog again:

I cannot get the photo to appear.

Hi Trent - I know I responded to your email directly via the Contact Us form however I wanted to respond here as well. Basically the only way to handle the integration options that you are trying to use is to use the very latest version(s) of Dynamic User Directory (we have the current 4.0 version and the upcoming 4.1 version that will be released on Tuesday). These builds allow for the [UserImage] field which can then replace the FileID number into the Filename. Basically DotNetNuke stores all of these profile images as the FileID number (an auto number that is a primary key into the Files table). So... basically this is stored in the UserProfile table as a number and we have to then convert that into a filename.

Thanks!

Chad:

As you know, I have been able to integrate Dynamic Registration in such a way that my user images display properly in my pages. However, I recently installed a Social Groups skin which incorporates the hyperlinks bar at the top of every page. This bar includes a profile avatar. My Dynamic Registration image does not appear here - instead I have to go to Admin > User Accounts > Manage Profile, and load the image that way.

Is there a solution for this so I can have that Avatar load through Dynamic Registration?

Thanks,

Jim

I've been experiencing the same problem. I have the /portal/0/ set - but no image appears.

What gives?

any real solution to this yet?
