Avatar renaming and data retreval

Post by HankRock »

This is really two separate issue that are linked in a way:

First, is there a reason / way to control how the avatars are renamed once uploaded? I am using the mysql database and it adds a random number string to the photo.

Second, I am trying to create a page that shows the fullname and avatar images, but due to the fact that the script adds the random number to the filename I can't figure out how to do this automatically. Any suggestions?

1. The reason why this is done is for security, so hackers cannot guess the filename on the server.
If you do not care about security then you can modify the code and remove the random filename.
2. You can display the avatar on the page via de 'Login Name' object.

Thanks for the reply,

1. Do I have to change the form to HTML to edit it or is it in a php code somewhere? Also, I'd love to just have it rename the file with the fullname from the registration form!

2. how do I display all the avatars, not just the currently logged in persons. I would like to create like a member directory!

1. Right click the login form and select 'Convert to form' then you can customize the PHP code.
2. There is no standard solution for this, this will require a custom script.

The login form? or the signup form?

By the way, when I use the login name object, all I get is a white square, no avatars
