I found this link on research, but I cannot find this section under the control panel, within the module configuration area.

I am using Dynamic reg 4.20.20, DNN 6.2.5 and ASP.NET 4

help please?

Hello Jabos,

After saving via Initial Registration or Updated Registration, did you see the name of the Image saved into the Profile Property named "Photo" for that User Account?

Please go to Admin -> User Accounts, located the account you created or modified and see if the image name is present for that User Profile field.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Ryan

The profile property named "photo" is the default photo field for DNN.

Here is the setup in Dynamic registration form profile photo: (screenshot - http://i49.tinypic.com/1221av6.png )

Once I upload the image and when I go to Admin -> User accounts -> Manage profile of the user, I see nothing in the photo field (screenshot - http://i46.tinypic.com/bhwvuq.png)

When I view the journal module, the images are broken - (screenshot - http://i49.tinypic.com/2rr525v.png )

When I try to view the source of the thumbnail in journal module, I get this error message:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Can you tell me what I might be doing wrong?

Hello Jabos,

I know that the Photo Profile Property is data type "Image". You can see that if you review your Photo Profile Property by going to Admin -> User Accounts -> Manage Profile Properties and edit the Photo Profile Property.

Typically, Dynamic Registration Image Question type is going to upload a string, the string will represent one of the following:

* Relative Path to the Image uploaded
* Full Path to the Image uploaded

My guess is that you're basically getting a data type conversion error. Create a new Profile Field named "UserPhoto" and make it data type String.

Then map your Dynamic Registration Image field to the newly created UserPhoto profile field.

Let me know if the path to the image is saved within the respective User Account when uploading an image.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Ryan

I already created a new profile field called "MyUserImage" which is having the datatype string. When I upload the image from the registration form, I see that the "file name" is being saved(example: 74f9157a-845f-4b32-9b73-c2560a53d1a1.jpg) but the DNN social modules(like journal module, member directory module, forum module etc) use the actual "photo" property to show the image.

So either we have to make the profilepic.ashx file show "myuserimage" field or the "myuserimage" field link to the photo property. Is this possible?

If the Image Name is uploaded from Dynamic Registration into a Profile Property that you created(that is of type String), then you should be able to go to Admin -> File Manage and look for the folder named:

DynamicRegistration_Images

If this folder doesn't exist, then simply create it by using the Admin -> File Manage create a folder functionality.

Now you'll notice that you have a physical path to the image that was uploaded by a user. They have that image file name in their User Account Profile as well.

So you can begin piecing together a Dynamic URL Path:

/portals/0/DynamicRegistration_Images/[DynamicValueHere]

I'm not exactly certain how Member Directory, Journal Module or Forum Module works, but I do know that with the instructions I've provided, that you'll be able to:

Link to the Image that a User Uploaded upon Registration via connecting to the Profile Property and building a Dynamic URL to that Image.

You can always run a SQL Query to obtain a value on a User by User basis utilizing the UserID.

Select A.PropertyValue from UserProfile A inner join ProfilePropertyDefinition B on A.PropertyDefinitionID= B.PropertyDefinition where A.UserID = '[userid token here]' and B.PropertyDefinitionID = [ID of the Image Profile Property]

That query will gain you access to the Image that a User uploaded, based on the User viewing the page.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Ryan

Yeah, I understand these are different ways to get the custom image field value, and this will be very useful if I am trying to use the image in a skin or in any html module.

But the issue is all the major modules(especially the social modules) are using "/profilepic.ashx?userId=1&h=&w=" and that webhandler needs to get the image from dynamic registration images folder instead of the DNN photo field. Is that possible?

This is what I see in the web.config file:

Hello,

You can refer to this post:
http://www.activemodules.com/active...ase-field/

You'll notice that in order to get a profile picture to operate in Active Social, an image must be saved to the Portals/{id}/activesocial/profile/_icons directory and must be named correctly.

More generally, you can refer to this post:
http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources...posts.aspx

You'll want the Dynamic Registration image to be uploaded into the respective section:
Portals\_default\Users\001\01\1

This is how the Profile Photo is determined within several Social modules, other modules have their own resources.

I'm really only able to support Dynamic Registration as it's not really my place to support other third party modules.

Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks,

Ryan

Ryan,

I found that there is an ashx file in the dynamic user directory module which can display the images uploaded to the custom image field

/DesktopModules/Dynamic%20User%20Directory/DUDThumbNail.ashx?width=50&height=50&Image=/Portals/0/DynamicRegistration_Images/[UserPhoto]

Just wanted to confirm with you before I try it on our site, this be used in place of "/profilepic.ashx?userId=[userid]&h=50&w=50", right???

It is supposed to work with the token [userimage], but the url is not properly formed...

/DesktopModules/Dynamic%20User%20Directory//DUDThumbNail.ashx?width=150&height=150&Image=/Portals/0/DynamicRegistration_Imagesimagename.jpg

There is a "/" missing in between DynamicRegistration_Images and imagename.jpg
