The standard "User - Profile" plugin for Joomla does not have an avatar field. Could you please explain in further detail what you mean?

Looking at the source on your page for editing a profile, that looks like a third-party extension com_djclassifieds you're using for profiles, not the standard Joomla user profile system as you stated. We do not currently support importing social profile data/avatar into DJClassifieds. I can add it as a potential feature into our issue tracker, but don't have a timeframe on when that would be.

JFBConnect uses the Joomla plugin system to integrate with 3rd party extensions to import profile data. In the /plugins/socialprofiles directory, you can see a few that would have been installed with JFBConnect. There are others in the installer zip file that include avatar import.

I'd recommend looking at the K2 plugin as it's one of the simplest. The setAvatar function is what is used to set the avatar in whatever extension the plugin is integrated with.

I hope that helps explain, but should you need anything else, just let us know.

Thanks,
Alex

Thanks Alex,

How can I bring the avatar using a clean Joomla Installation without using a 3rd party extensions (K2,Jomsosial etc) do I need one of the zips? if so, how can use them? Do I need to install the zip as normal plugin?

Thanks :)

Hi Alex, I have Found that DJ-Classified has the avility to use avatars from other components.

File Attachment:


If I use Jomsocial and install the plugin do you think it will be ok?, I'm happy to implement jomsocial to my site.

Cheers

JFBConnect imports into JomSocial, so if DJClassifieds can use that, I'd expect it should work.

Definitely let me know if you run into issues though and we'll help investigate however we can.

Thanks,
Alex
