Name: Killer Bees (aka blogger avatars)
Author: EdB
Description: I guess I could have called this "YAAP" because it is Yet Another Avatar Plugin, but hey what's in a name right?

This plugin is a knockoff of AstonishMe's AM Custom Profile plugin. What it does is allow your bloggers to upload an avatar and create a signature block. The admin has to allow "user directories" for it to work, then each post by the blogger will show their avatar and signature block.

Mostly good for multi-user blogs?

Avatar Fun! - The Killer Bees Widget must be screwed up - Avatars cannot be uploaded to proper folder or correctly rendered in posts.

First let me say that I know I'm not crazy - others have had this same EXACT problem!

Here is the link:

http://forums.b2evolution.net/viewtopic.php?p=82922&sid=3b15c05175081f0757b07aa0b20c4134

(And there is NO information from B2evo regarding this or any follow up replies. Why? Can't anyone solve this problem?)

If I was to go to:



ADMIN / USERS / Profile++ / users directory / >Quick Upload! - B2evo creates at link to avatar here:

http://MY-SITE/media/users/admin/.evocache/avatar.jpg/fit-80x80.jpg

...but you can't see it! It's not there! It doesn't exist! Why is that?

But in the Preview mode it is here:

http://MY-SITE/media/users/admin/avatar.jpg

Which you CAN see.

The image (avatar) shows up in ADMIN as black image with red text stating:

"Recursive caching not allowed"



Screen Shot (Click to enlarge)





(What is "RECURSIVE CACHING"?) A Google search mentions something about DNS Servers. DO I HAVE TO RESOLVE DNS SERVER ISSUES? (Just to upload an itty bitty image?)

.evocache - - - "Not a valid directory name" - but B2EVO created it!!! - SO WHY IS THAT?

In the directory > > > http://MY-SITE/media/users/ > > > There is an HTML file that reads:

"This folder is destined to receive images and other media files you upload from within b2evolution."

Oh really? I MANUALLY uploaded the avatar to this directory as well because uploading from ADMIN puts it somewhere else in cyberspace in a directory named ".evocache" (which was created by B2evo and is not even a valid or working or recognized directory!)

If I try to access the image directly through my browser (Where B2evo insists the avatar should be)

http://MY-SITE/media/users/admin/.evocache/avatar.jpg/fit-80x80.jpg - - - image doesn't show.

NOTICE: B2evo actually creates a directory (folder) named "avatar.jpg" (very odd!) - - - and also creates the directory ".evocache" (with the "." in the beginning)- - - and an image file named fit-80x80.jpg (This is getting wacky!)

If I go directly to the image (that B2evo created) using my browser at:

http://MY-SITE/media/users/admin/.evocache/avatar.jpg/fit-80x80.jpg

I get the page error: "You are not authorized to view this page"

(The "signature" works though....but when you change it in ADMIN, it doesn't change on posts already created with the old signature...but I could live with that I suppose.)
