Hey All,

Looking to see if anyone else can verify this issue . . .

We have been getting complaints that some user profile images are disappearing after a user has set them.

Its taken a while to get to the bottom of what was happening because it seemed totally random.

BUT HERE IS WHAT WE FOUND 

DNN 6.0.1.

Login as user  "a" 
go to User Profile - upload and select a profile image.

Logoff 

Login as user "a"
go to User Profile - and verify that the profile image is still there.

NOW login as ADMIN

go to Admin - User Accounts

Edit user "a"  -  there is NO - profile image showing 

DO NOT HIT UPDATE  

Logoff

Login as user "a"
go to User Profile - and the profile image is still there.

Logoff

Login as ADMIN 

go to Admin - User Accounts

Edit user "a"  -  there is NO - profile image showing 

ALSO the DROPDOWN is empty -  if you hit UPDATE at this stage
and log back into user "a"  - the profile image will be gone.

===========================================================

So why is this happening ?

The reason is because there is a BUG in the DNN:FilePicker  when you set  the  UsePersonalFolder  flag.

What is happening is that this flag is using   UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo()  as the source of the user path.

This is OK when you are in a NORMAL user profile -  BUT when you are logged in as ADMIN - the DNN:FilePicker is trying to use the ADMIN user path - the user that's returned from GetCurrentUserInfo   -  INSTEAD of the user that is currently being edited.

=====

The dnnFilePicker needs to be changed to include the ability to pass in a UserInfo property that points to the user being EDITED - instead of the currently logged in user.

And the User Profile Editor updated to pass in the UserInfo for that user to the dnnFilePicker whenever you are in  ADMIN user manager mode.

Logged - was definitely one of those - oh of course - once you see it bugs - but until then  . . .

I have logged an issue in this area
http://support.dotnetnuke.com/issue/V...

But my impression is that noone reads the issues any longer and if someone does he/she does not understad the issue.
I have stopped logging issues. If I dont get a respons for a month or two why should I care then.
