Avatars in PhpBB Side of the bridge

Hey ! :)

Is your bridge controlling the default avatar in phpbb , when a user i created on WP Side ?

I'm explaining why.

I have an extension, in phpBB, for have a random Gravatar in PhpBB Side, for new users.

But it doesn't works with the bridge. Users have only to register in phpBB to have this random avatar. But, on my site, they have to register on WP Side, and they get a "No-Avatar" by default.

Do you have any idea ? How to control the phpBB avatar by default when an user is creating on WP Side (and in phpbb at the same time) ?

Thanks by advance

hello Antoine, the problem about login for your account has been removed days ago, in true the day after it has been issued. So you can login with your username if you like.

About Gravatars: the plugin get the value from phpBB user default table, it work on a default phpBB, if the setting is setup for the user in phpBB where need to be (on in theory, it should!).
So i suspect that the joke with this phpBB mod could not work due to the fact, it set a random Gravatar email for the user, but not into default phpBB db record (where instead wp_w3all search for the gravatar email). It may use a separate table or different record to store the gravatar email?

This can be the answer. What's this mod?

p.s and also, look that if the user in phpBB have still NOT login one time, or as logged in into phpBB have still not visit WP side, than still do not result as existent user into WP side, avatar will assume the behavior you report, an avatar for a guest user in WP.

Check if these related users have been already added into WP, as they have login WP side almost one time or they have visit WP side as logged in into phpBB. This second i think is the problem you report.

(I still can not login into my account :( )

The plugin is BBrandom, from Sitesplat, creators of the Flaboots / BBoots theme for PhpBB .

The plugin works perfectly if i allow the users to register into phpbb.

But the users who have to register on WP Side, are forced to log-in into WP and then they log into phpbb after. So they have visit WP Side and Phpbb side more than once.

The users have been added in WP and phpBB at the creation fo the account.
This second i think is the problem you report.

Wich second ? :) Visit WP Side as logged into phpBB ? But if they do that, theyr are automatically logged into the two side, right ?

so, maybe i've not well read this before:

You want achieve the contrary, or better, both?
If an user register WP side and set Gravatar, this should be added into phpBB also?
And related gravatar update when they change gravatar into WP (and not only in phpBB). Or what you want to achieve?

p.s your account should be ok now, if not, in 30 min, as setting. But all should been reset from now.
