Hello KK,
I am trying out your extended users feature and in the uers/index.php file I have defined this editable region because I want authenticated users to be able to upload profile pictures to thier account.

Code: Select all

<cms:template title='Users' clonable='1'>

<cms:editable name='user_image' allowed_ext='jpg, jpeg, bmp, png' max_size='2048' type='securefile'  thumb_width='100' width='600' height='800' quality='95' crop='1' show_preview='1' use_thumb_for_preview='1'/>

</cms:template>

On the regitsation page I used this in my form which works perfectly:

Code: Select all

...
    <cms:db_persist 
                                _masterpage=k_user_template
                                _mode='create'
                                method='post'
                                anchor='0'
                                _invalidate_cache='0'
                                _auto_title='0'
                                k_page_name = "<cms:random_name />"
                                k_page_title = "<cms:concat frm_fname ' ' frm_lname />"
                                firstname=frm_fname
                                lastname=frm_lname
                                extended_user_email = frm_extended_user_email
                                extended_user_password = frm_password
                                extended_user_password_repeat = frm_password />

To show a registered users profile picture in his account. I combined k_logged_in and id=k_user_id to bring the users details into perspective. However when I try to show the user profile picture with this

Code: Select all

<img src="<cms:show_securefile 'user_image' ><cms:if file_is_image ><cms:cloak_url link=file_id  /></cms:if></cms:show_securefile>">

it shows briefly when the web page is loading. Once it's done loading the picture disappears. Funny enough it only happens when an authenticated user is the one who's logged in. It works okay when the super admin is logged. I have no idea what is happening because I am new to couch.

A few questions:
1. How can I allow new authenticated users to just upload their profile images without using the secure file type?
2. How do I show a secure file which is an image on the frontend without using the cloak tag?
3. Are secured files not supposed to be in a secure folder in the uploads folder? Mine is rather saved inside the attachments folder.

Hello KK,
I found this topic that's related to my issue and it helped.
