Main Picture

Can some please explain to me how my members including admin uploads the pic for their profile pic all mine on the site are the gray silhouette that's comes standard in dolphin. which are the steps they can get them in their albums but not profile ones?

Thankyou

First of all, there are profile photos and then avatars.  If the avatar module is not installed, then Dolphin will use the first photo of the profile photo album as the avatar.  When a member joins, one photo album is created automatically for them, and that album is used as the profile photo album.  The first photo in the album is the one that gets used for the profile photo.  A member can arrange photos in an album by just dragging the photo to a new position.  There are settings for photos in the admin section for Dolphin.

Now if you decide to install the avatar module, then that is separate.  In that case a member uploads and crops an image to use for the avatar.  I have both on my site, members often wish to use a comic image, or such for their avatar and then have their profile photos separate.

For profile photos, the member simply goes to their photo album and clicks on upload.  The image is uploaded to the site and stored as the original.  Then a smaller size is created to use for the display page and a thumbnail is created for areas of the site that uses thumbnails.

Hi

Thankyou for the reply. I have avatar installed but cannot find on account or profile how to set it up

it says manage avatars but there is nothing there?

What happens when you hover over the Avatar in the profile page?

nothing

What should the settings be from admin for users to choose? As they cant even get a pick to show up on the homepage of all the members ?

I am at a disadvantage because my main site has a different Avatar program. Let me download a test copy. Give me a few.

Hi

Thankyou very much I think ive fixed it now.

Yes it was in the settings.

Thankyou again for your time.

Okay, Attchment1 is my initial pic of with Photos and Avatar modules installed no avatar picked yet. See the edit photo at bottom left. This is 7.4.

Second attachment is after I clicked the link and downloaded a Avatar from my computer. The third attachment is the Avatar module admin, and the fourth is the Photo settings under the Admin for photos.

Sorry for the delay getting back, I had dinner and watched a film.  If you have any more questions let us know.
