XF 2.0 Settings default avatar (image)

[Robru]

I have disabled 'Enable dynamic default avatars' and want to use a default (image) avatar for a new user.

In which folder I must place the avatar picture.
And where are the settings to ensure that a new member gets this avatar.

Thank you

Hi,

Go to style properties > Avatar
In there you can choose whether you need a text Avatar “?” Or an Image and you can set the default avatar image URL

I have changed Default avatar type and Default avatar image URL in Style Properties. A new member now gets a default avatar.

Now there are existing members who already got this standard avatar.
But in AdminCP, I get to see this now:



How can I make sure that these members all get the default set avatar.

Since this is a style-specific setting, you won't see it in the ACP. Any user who doesn't have an avatar will get the avatar in the front end (provided they're viewing a style where the value has been changed).

Thank you @Fethi.dz , @Mike

I'm curious to know ... in XF2 - can there be default avatars set as in XF1 for male, female and unknown gender users?
If yes - how would you go about adding them?
Thanks,

J.

As the gender fields are now gone in XF2, you would need a addon to get the gender avatars back.

The gender field is missing in XF2?! Huh?! Why??? Interesting...
I wonder if anyone is even interested in creating an add-on for that. It seems weird to have removed the option from XF2. Wow.
And I've been meaning to install XF2 - just haven't gotten around to it quite yet. But wow. May do so sooner rather than later.
Anyway - thanks for the info @ozzy47 = I appreciate ya

Hold on, I just checked and the gender fields are indeed present. It's just the gender avatars are gone. Sorry for the confusion.

The default/gender based avatars are gone.

 

[Ozzy47]

I see now why I thought that. In XF2 there is not a gender field by default and it has been moved to a custom field.

 

[Chris D]

Only been moved to custom fields for upgrades. The gender field is no longer included by default for new installs.

 

[Ozzy47]

Well I was kinda right, but it makes sense why there is no gender avatars.

 

[JacquiiDesigns]

Okay! Thanks so much for the clarification fellas.
I've designed a set of custom avatars that do use a rather subtle gender indicator. A client wants to add them on his XF2 install as he had on the XF1 install. So it's nice to know that he can easily add them as a default type of setting. Without having XF2 installed, though, I'm rather afraid that I'm not at all sure how to advise him on installing the images. And I don't necessarily have access to his AdminCP at the moment, as I'm only his graphic designer. Now the question is ... Will he have to add a specific code in order to have the gendered avatars show in his XF2 install?

I appreciate the info!

Is there already an addon that can set the standard avatars for women and men Alternatively via the user group?

Hi! Can I have some help with this default avatar?

We (@Thriller Bark and myself) have uploaded and inserted the link on the right place, but new members aren't showing with the default image we set, they keep showing up with the previous letter avatar. Only guests and robots show up with the image.

Hi, I have the same issue. Did you find the solution?

OK, found it, remove dynamic avatars tick here and it is working:
