How do I add a custom avatar gallery? 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
Hi there,

I recently installed Fireboard and I just cant seem to manage to get a custom Avatar Gallery to show up. I've got a ton of little avatar gifs, when placing them (in a folder) into images/fbfiles/avatars they do show up. Placing them in the Gallery folder, and they dont show up. Nothing I do seems to make them show up within Fireboard!?!

Can anyone help me as its driving me bonkers. I've looked all over the net but cant find anything.

I have tried to do this too. Changed permissions, even deleted the default avatars but somehow they are still there. I can't figure this out either.

Figured it out. See below.

Ahh... I was trying to change the avatars in the com_fireboard/_fbfiles_dist/avatars/gallery folder, which didn't work. I found the folder in the actual Joomla images folder... yourdomain/images/fbfiles/avatars/gallery. I was able to change the avatars here and it worked. Maybe you have to change them in both folders?

I am having one problem though. My avatars are 150x100 pixels. I uploaded several football helmets as avatars and it widens then page for some reason. Does anyone know a code that i can keep the width the standard template width when displaying the avatar gallery? Screenshot below

Thanks alot.

You seem to only have to put them in Images > "fbfiles". So I have no idea what the point in "_fbfiles_dist" is even for.

But I put all the images in the gallery folder and all is working fine. Previously I was trying to create new Galleries but it doesnt seem to work.
