AvatarURL field on mp_Users table being overwritten when new user is created.

mojoPortal Version 2.3.8.1 MSSQL/Windows NT 6.1.7601 SP1

The avatar on the User Profile page (Web/ProfileView.aspx) is showing an empty image for records that haven't been updated with an avatar.  Looking into this issue, I saw that the AvatarURL field in the SQL table mp_Users has a default setting of ('blank.gif') however, it wasn't being populated.  The field was blank.  I began stepping through code and found that SiteUser.cs runs Create() and then the Update() when a new user is registered.  Create() adds the required registration data and the default value is entered in the avatarURL field, but when Update() executes, it overwrites the AvatarURL value from blank.gif to " ".  I need to correct this issue so an empty image doesn't show on the profile page without forking the code.  Can you help?

Thanks!

Re: AvatarURL field on mp_Users table being overwritten when new user is created.

Hi,

I have fixed this for the next release so that if it is blank it will use a default blank image that can be specified in user.config to allow using a custom image:

<add key="DefaultBlankAvatarPath" value="~/Data/SiteImages/1x1.gif" />

shown above with the default value, but one can override it in user.config to point to a custom image.

Thanks,

Joe
