Hello,

Just wondering if anyone has successfully done this.. We’re looking to streamline the registration process, and we think that uploading an avatar on registration is the best way to do that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I just wrote up an extension that does it. Very basic prototype but it seems to get the job done in my tests. Basic instructions for using it are at the bottom of the file.

I cannot really support this as we are in the middle of development crunch time, but it should help you get where you wish to go. Another option would be to use some manner of AJAX script to do uploading.

Thanks so much for such a quick response..

I seem to be having some troubles getting it to work though, i’m not entirely sure where to place “$data[‘enctype’] = ‘multi’;”... could you help me out?
Maybe a line number i should be looking for?

Right at the bottom of the registration_form() function:

$data['hidden_fields'] = array(
                                    'ACT'    => $FNS->fetch_action_id('Member', 'register_member'),
                                    'RET'    => $FNS->fetch_site_index(),
                                    'FROM'    => ($this->in_forum == TRUE) ? 'forum' : ''
                                  );            
    
    $data['id']         = 'register_member_form';
    $data['enctype'] = 'multi';

Hey there,

just wondering if this is still possible with the same set of code on the most current build of EE.

I’ve attempted to implement it but without any luck.

Any help would be appreciated!

Yup, i’ve just tested it, and it says that it completes, and everything is fine, however, the avatar doesn’t get uploaded..

Ideas?
