I understand users can create profiles from front-end. Awesome! Now, can they upload avatars? (not Gravatar by the way).

My avatar upload codes: // User Avatar if(isset($_FILES['avatar']) && $_FILES['avatar'] != NULL && $_avatar = $_FILES['avatar']['name']) { $ext = strtolower(pathinfo($_avatar, PATHINFO_EXTENSION)); $filename = implode('.', array($user->username(), $ext)); $upload = new Upload(kirby()->roots()->…

Makes sense! You are assuming the user is aready logged in, right?

@texnixe Docs outline generic uploads, but not avatars, so avatars are not special?

No, you can upload avatars just like other images; the only thing to keep in mind is to upload them to the right folder (/assets/avatars) and to match user name and avatar file name. The panel uses the same upload class to upload user avatars.

Let’s see: $upload = new Upload(__DIR__ . DS . 'assets' . DS . 'avatars' . DS . $file_name , array( 'input' => 'avatar', 'overwrite' => true )); The picture is there: dump($_FILES["avatar"]["name"]) => picture.png dump($_FILES["avatar"]["error"]) => 0 (zero means no error, right?) Upload fun…

By the way I’m trying to let the user upload avatar right from registration form. The registration form is already working fine. Not sure if user needs to be authenticated to upload files.

__DIR__ points to the directory of the current script, so that depends on where you create the Upload instance and is not necessarily equal to the root of the site. Try the following: $upload = new Upload(kirby()->roots->avatars() . DS . $file_name, array( 'input' => 'avatar', 'overwrite' => tr…

Solved: @lukasbestle I expected the docs example to work whatever the path to give me a rough idea. But it didn’t. I tried: __DIR__ . DS . 'whatever' => Error: “The file could not be moved” I tried: kirby()->roots->avatars() => Success! What’s the difference? I didn’t know about kirby()->roo…
