coldblooded , when a user doesnt choose an avatar in their phpbb2 profile then a failed images displays , my question is , how did you get it to show a blank.gif by default ?

I was curious about this as well. Mine just shows as a broken link

I'm having the same problem and also, no matter how I set the directory path, the rank stars don't show up! They show up in the admin when I add them, but only show a broken image link on the forums. Any help is greatly appreciated!

We don't have a fix for this at the moment, but it is alleviated by using the forum registration. Before we started using that I was manually setting the new members avatars in the db.

I wasn't too worried about it as I'm sure it will be fixed in the next release.

Ok guys. I have been working on this No Avatar(broken image) issue when a New User registers through Nuke.

Gimme another day to make sure it is working correctly and I will release a fix.

I have tested it on my test site by creating 3 test users and so far ALL of them came back registered with the correct blank image. WOOT!

EDIT***

Ok here it is.
This only works if you are running PHP-Nuke 6.0 and phpBB port 2.0.6

open modules/Your_Account/index.php

Line 86:

Code:

	if (($user_avatar) || ($user_avatar!="")) echo ""._AVATAR.": <img src=\"modules/Forums/images/avatars/$user_avatar\" alt=\"\">
";

Change to:

Code:

	if (($user_avatar) || ($user_avatar!="")) echo ""._AVATAR.": <img src=\"modules/Forums/images/avatars/gallery/blank.gif\" alt=\"\">
";

Line 99:

Code:

	    ."<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"user_avatar\" value=\"$user_avatar\">"

Change to:

Code:

	    ."<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"user_avatar\" value=\"gallery/blank.gif\">"

That should do it. When a New User registers, instead of a broken image showing for their avatar, they should get assigned the blank.gif image. It should now grab the correct blank.gif image in your modules/Forums/images/avatars/gallery folder.
