I’m using the following query

to pull member data.

For some reason, {avatar_filename} won’t parse when it’s inside an html tag. For example, /images/{avatar_filename} outputs /images/.

If I place {avatar_filename} on it’s own, outside an html tag, it parses fine.

I tried to work around this by assigning a variable like so

but the behavior is exactly the same: {avatarimage} parses fine, but /images/{avatarimage} doesn’t.

Help!

Can you post the relavant part of you template, ie the whole query tag?

When I use your code, this is my output:
(using {screen_name} - {avatar_filename}<br />)
Rebecca - uploads/avatar_1.jpg

uploads/filename.jpg is what the avatar_filename is pointing to. It doesn’t get the rest of the path.

Ingmar, here’s the full tag:

Sue - try wrapping {screen_name} - {avatar_filename} in an html tag (even something like <span class=”{avatar_filename}”> to test it)

Works for me..

Test

I had to add /images/avatars/ to the {avatar_filename) value to achieve a valid filename.

Sue, I tried this on a blank template, and it works for me too. Something very strange is going on. I’m going to just delete this template file and start with a fresh one. Weird weird weird…

Yup, yup, yup.. clean templates are often best.

Hehe, the “clean slate” school of development I’m a disciple, too. Closing this thread for now, just open a new one if anything else comes up, thank you.
