Howto disable display of avatars from Public Photo

Hi!

I just notice that when I added new avatar photo, it got displayed in the public photo as well. This is a problem as I can predict that people will be adding avatar (small thumbnail photos) but they end up in public photo, how to disable this?

Thanks,

Sam

It is the "add to photos" in the avatar upload.  That should be removed; which I never got to on my site.  Not sure why it was thought to be a "good thing" as it is not and it is still present in 7.1.x.  Search the forum on how to either unchecked the box by default or remove the thing entirely.

open file modules/boonex/avatar/templates/base/block_wide.html

and find this code and hide it

<span><input type="checkbox" name="copy_to_profile_photos" id="copy_to_profile_photos" checked="checked" /><label for="copy_to_profile_photos"><bx_text:_bx_ava_copy_to_profile_photos /></label></span>

 

change to this

<!--<span><input type="checkbox" name="copy_to_profile_photos" id="copy_to_profile_photos" checked="checked" /><label for="copy_to_profile_photos"><bx_text:_bx_ava_copy_to_profile_photos /></label></span>-->

Its strange because it wouldn't work for me. Not only that I changed the code to >>>

<!--<span><input type="checkbox" name="copy_to_profile_photos" id="copy_to_profile_photos" checked="checked" /><label for="copy_to_profile_photos"><bx_text:_bx_ava_copy_to_profile_photos /></label></span>-->

But also tried to remove it all together but still the 'Avatar' text is appears within the Public Photos. I have a fresh D7.1 install...I will be grateful if anyone has any suggestions for me to try.

Even Unchecked it still goes to public photos, it';s like it's got nowhere else to go.

Tried hiding it as suggested above as well but that only hides it from being viewed, it doesn't stop it from working in the background.

This needs to be re-coded for avatar images to be stored elsewhere or only one place like where the other site avatars are.
