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

mattrl · October 2010

This discussion is related to the Following addon.

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 · October 2010

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

mattrl · October 2010

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 · October 2010

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

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'].

<?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 · January 2011

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

martian · February 2011

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 · February 2011

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

Howdy, Stranger!
