pligg avatar based on user id
hello, this is a simple trick to force pligg avatar system to use user id instead of username. the problem of pligg avatar system arise with non english letter. it happens when pligg try to write the avatar image file using the username_30.jpg which gives a wrong filename so pligg can not reuse the image file again.
this problem was solved in pligg 1.0.1. I am writing this post to whom using an older version of pligg and do not want to upgrade to the newer version.
all required steps are written in this file: pligg avatar based on userId
