Topic: avatars uploading

hey

i have recently set up a new forum http://www.bath.ac.uk/~su7jitsu/forum/index.php

i'm having trouble uploading avatars. i have set the permission of the avatar folder and cache folder to 777, using a sftp client. However when i try uplaoding a avatar it says "You did not select a file for upload."

I cant think how to fix this
any help would be appreciated.


thanks

Re: avatars uploading

A browser issue maybe?
Oh, and don't enter URLs tongue

Re: avatars uploading

i have tried on both IE and firefox no luck. any reason why not allowed url's?

Re: avatars uploading

Because you're uploading from your computer

Re: avatars uploading

smarty's can  you please explain what you mean. I have tried to upload from my computer via the forum, but it says no file has been selected.

Re: avatars uploading

Can I have a URL to the forum?

Re: avatars uploading

i have sent you a link to the forum since elbekko said i'm not meant to post urls. If you need me to make you an admin to help just tell me. thanks for trying to help

Re: avatars uploading

=/ I didn't say in here, I just said you shouldn't use an url in the upload box tongue (people tend to do that)

Re: avatars uploading

Re: avatars uploading

Your host has disabled file uploads via PHP

Re: avatars uploading

Re: avatars uploading

phpBB uses links, not uploaded files wink
The image gallery mod might be good for you tho.

I believe he's talking about the Pre-installed Ad Gallery mod.

There is a remote avatar mod, although I'm not sure if it works or not.

Re: avatars uploading

thanks alot, using the pre installed avatar gallery , I can upload the avatars into the directory manually, so they can be selected by the user, slight bit more hassle, but gets round the problem

thanks for all your help guys

Well, you can try the remote avatars mod I mentioned above. If that doesn't work, you might try emailing the author to see if he'll consider making/releasing the new version he promised.

Re: avatars uploading

Look at my answer above. If you want to have users specify a URL for avatars, then give that remote avatars mod a try.
