Package: phpbb2 Version: 2.0.13-6sarge3 Severity: normal
I have a problem using the avatar gallery feature of phpBB. First, to get the gallery avatars to show up at all, I had to run the command "chmod g+r /var/lib/phpbb2/avatars/gallery". And I also had to make all the gallery subdirectories[1] I had to create also be readable and executable by the www-data group. (I suspect this bug to still be present in phpbb2-2.0.21-4.) Anyway, with this, a user can see the avatar images in the galleries and can select them when editing his profile. BUT, when the user then selects "Submit" on the profile editing screen, the avatar setting is ignored and the database is not updated. The SQL UPDATE command issued does not include the 'user_avatar' or 'user_avatar_type' columns. So the previous avatar setting is kept, except that if the previous avatar setting was a user-uploaded image file, this file will still be deleted, so the avatar setting will then be set to a non-existing image file. Note that changing the avatar image to one from a gallery *does* work *if* done using the "Administration Panel/User Admin/Management" page. But the user can not do it himself from the "Profile" page. /Teddy 1) <http://www.phpbb.com/support/documents.php?mode=faq>, question 15: "How do I use the avatar settings?" -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-686-smp Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages phpbb2 depends on: ii apache2 2.0.54-5sarge1 next generation, scalable, extenda ii apache2-mpm-prefork [htt 2.0.54-5sarge1 traditional model for Apache2 ii boa [httpd] 0.94.14rc20-1.2 Lightweight and High Performance W ii debconf 1.4.30.13 Debian configuration management sy ii libapache2-mod-php4 4:4.3.10-16 server-side, HTML-embedded scripti ii php4 4:4.3.10-16 server-side, HTML-embedded scripti ii php4-mysql 4:4.3.10-16 MySQL module for php4 ii php4-pgsql 3:4.3.10-4 PostgreSQL module for php4 -- debconf information: * phpbb2/httpd: apache2 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
