cover photo imported multiple times (fb / g+) with easysocial

hey alex,
we're using the option to always import the profile data and have both avatar and cover import enabled (using latest jfbc 6.0.3 with latest easysocial 1.2.5)

for the avatar it works just fine, it checks if the avatar is the one the user already has in use on the site and then skips it, for cover photos at the other hand the system imports the same photo every time. tested with facebook and google+
at the end that's how my cover album looks now screencast.com/t/9juN4wvPqBGC

best regards,
alex

hey alex,
no worries I'm perfectly fine with waiting for the next version, so take your time to investigate this - and if you need something just let me know here or drop me a line at skype (skype name: joomlaplayground)

best regards,
alex

hey alex,
started playing with the new 6.0.4 release on the latest easysocial 1.2.7 and have good news and bad news for you
the good news: the detection of cover photos seems to work nice now, no more duplicates so far.
the bad news: the cover photo is not created correctly (easysocial shows an empty image, checking the path to the image media/com_easysocial... it's not there at all)
I then digged deeper to see if the pic was catched from facebook and looking in the tmp folder it seems to be there correctly (sccover_facebook....tmp.jpg)

so it seems that in the step from fetching the image to the creation of the different variations for easysocial and copying over to the easysocial media folder something's wrong at the moment.

hey alex,
looks like the cover import problem may be related to another cover issue directly in easysocial - so probably nothing jfbc specific.
mark provided a fix for this (will also be included in easysocial 1.2. and that seems to solve the problem.

I attached the file here (for you and also in case anyone else having this prob) - this should be copied into /media/com_easysocial/apps/fields/user/cover/
as a reference here's also the complete forum post at the stackideas forum: stackideas.com/forums/problem-with-cover...n-profile-and-groups
