Default picture not showing

reporting back: disabled APK and Author pane modules and same behavior. When imagecache profiles are set, I get text "Guest's Picture" where there is suppose to be the default picture.

I have the same issue. I am using v6.6. I have searched but have been unable to find any info on this issue other than this post. I do notice that the pictures field in the users db table is not being filled in like the users who upload their own pictures. Is this normal?

Thanks!

Same issue here. Now the user's pictures are not showing across the site. Just the "user's picture" text.

Might have to disable the modules if we cannot find an answer.

Thanks

Hello

Just make sure the GD2 module is also installed. It fixes the issue. Its working just fine after that.

you talking about the ImageAPI GD2? if so I had that enabled and still had the issue regarding the default image.

Can you explain little bit better? I do not seem to have any issues anymore. Did you follow all the instructions regarding picture sizes and pixels?, Did you check that you do not have anything else in your theme that might be overriding the pictures styling?. Check that with firebug. Did you update the PHP and cleared the Cache after you installed the module?. Is it only having with new accounts?

Hi,

I'm having the same issue and I will try to explain it better:

I have set default user image with full path and this is what I get when try to use it with imagecache profile on comment and also on User profile page:

Everything works fine when I upload a picture to the user profile, but that's not the case with default pictures.
Obviously default picture is not processed.

Thank you in advance.

Have the same issue.

User photos show just fine. The default photo doesn't show. In internet explorer it's a white box with an x - even though the path is correct to the photo (and photo is right size, etc).

Using ImageAPI GD2.

Has anyone found a solution?

The problem is that it is looking for the default photo in the wrong place. If you tell it to look for the default photo in mysite.com/sites/all/default, for example it will in fact append that path to wherever imagecache is storing files, for example in system/files/imagecache/user_image_default with the result that it is looking for a photo in system/files/imagecache/user_image_default/mysite.com/sites/all/default. oops.
You can see this for yourself with firebug.
This is obviously a bug that should be fixed pretty easily. But in the meantime you can solve it by simply putting your default pic where the module expects to find it. In my case, for example, I put one default_avatar.gif in system/files/imagecache/user_image_default and one in system/files/imagecache/user_image_large. Then, in user settings, set the default photo to be simply default_avatar.gif (or whatever your image is called), with no path in front of it.
Good luck.

This helped, default images are showing now, thanks a lot!!

in my case i checked that image location and it is found to be varying when i vary the default settings for user .so i made an image for the location where the browser says ..thus i managed this problem

and the above method seems to be working for me...

Looks like the problem is more related to imagecache not this module.

Any opinions?
