Hello

Unable to change PictureImage Path value in admin>>settings>>users

Does anyone know where the value you enter in the field Picture Image Path
for the Avatar picutres in the User Profiles entered at admin>>settings>>user.
is saved.

I searched the datbase and can't find .

When you delete the field and update an old value keep coming up
when you enter a new value you get error message#

warning: mkdir(): No such file or directory in /home/paratlan/paratlan-www/includes/file.inc on line 91.
The directory does not exist.
The settings have not been saved because of the errors.

IT looks it is almost impossible to implement this simple feature
in DRUPAL 4.7 .

Cheers

ok, i solved this by manually changing the line
INSERT INTO `variable` VALUES ('user_picture_path', 's:29:"files/userspics";'); into the `variable` table.

Cleaned Drupal cache and voilà: userspictures working again!

...still why the hell changing it from admin>settings>users wasn't working?! ~:-|

I messed around with this for hours and hours trying every different fix on here including yours. Nothing worked!!!! Then just as a joke I though...hey why not try Firefox. So I openned Firefox and what do you know...NO ERROR. I entered the new info and all is well. Now maybe I fixed the prob earlier and the page in IE just was messing with me. So as a joke without deleting any cookies in IE I went back to the settings>>Users page and the error was gone there too. Makes me wonder wtf was the problem. I hate IE, now more than ever, since this last update Ver. 7.xxxx.

I'm having the same problem. I did not have a pictures directory in my sites/default/files directory. I went to edit the picture image path from the default (pictures) hoping to get fancy with using u%uid/pictures to place the picture in a user's pictures directory. I guess it does not create a directory on the fly.... That seemed to wound it, then I used a php: ... string, and It hasn't come back since. Somewhere in the trials, I went to my host and created the pictures directory, and set the permissions to 777. Nothing seems to work. I have cleaned the cache; logged out; and tried firefox. I'm using IE8.

Oh, I even tried to disable the field, I still I get the same error.

Any thoughts? Where exactly is that value stored?

Thanks,
Bob

Very frustrating -- chmod doesn't work, and I've tried leaving the field empty, disabling images - no avail.
