Facebook Avatar

JFBConnect doesn't directly store a user's avatar. We rely on 3rd-party extensions that have profile systems, like JomSocial, Kunena, Community Builder, EasySocial and others.

We don't support PHPBB because it's a whole other PHP package. Can you explain more about about what you mean by 'I need the avatar in Joomla'? Is there already some way you have to 'pull' avatars from Joomla into PHPBB? If so, what extension do they need to be stored in? We may be able to help you more with that, we'd just need to understand your configuration a bit more.

Thanks,

Thanks for the explanation. I understand what you're saying, but I think there's still a bit of a mis-communication..

Please note:
1) Joomla, by itself, does not store avatars for users anywhere. On a new Joomla installation, if a user registers a new account, there's no method to let that user upload or set an avatar.
2) JFBConnect, by itself, does not store avatars for users anywhere. We *can* save a user's avatar from the social networks we support to multiple 3rd party profile extensions, like JomSocial, Community Builder, EasySocial, Kunena, K2, and some others.

When you say "so if they get an avatar in joomla , they get an avatar in phpbb ...", I'm not sure how you expect that to work. Does:
a) RokBridge have some method of importing an avatar from a Joomla extension into phpbb?
b) Does this avatar import work for you already in some way? If so, can you explain how (where does the user upload a photo in Joomla that is then 'pushed' to phpbb)?

I'm not trying to give you busy-work here, I'm just not familiar with your system or RokBridge in general, so I may be missing something.

I hope the explanation above makes things a bit clearer, but if not, please let me know!

Thanks,

There really isn't much we can do right now. Our Social Profile plugins are meant to interface with other extensions. It may be possible to update our CustomDB plugin to also store the user's avatar in a specific directory, but there would also need to be a SQL query to update PHPBB with that user's avatar. Those are things that JFBConnect simply doesn't do right now.

A few more questions from your last post:

this default or custom avatar later will be displayed on joomla login page as the official user avatar .

What is showing the image on the login page? Is that a RokBridge module that's showing the avatar? Again, Joomla doesn't store the avatars, so knowing 'what' is actually showing the image there may give some information on how to proceed, but right now, there's nothing native we do.

2- JFBConnect can store avatars for my users avatar from the social networks on my phpbb database or users table i mean ? i think this way can be worked out current/big_smile
and yes i know CB can store avatars and stuff and it even got a social connect but i prefered your plugged in coz CB is causing me problems in joomla and phpbb bridge so i prefer to keep it simple ..

Yes, JFBConnect can fetch a user's avatar. It's what to 'do' with it and SQL queries required that we don't know right now. I'm not familiar with PHPBB, so this is something that would take investigation and work to figure out.. not something we'd be able to get you an answer to in a day or so, unfortunately.
