Hi,

I apologize this because it's may based on my server setting issue.

Regarding EasySocial> Account> Preferences> Account Settings > Appearance > Upload Avatar,
when the user uploads his profile picture, the system says
Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 68681728) (tried to allocate 4915201 bytes) in path/to/mysite/public_html/administrator/components/com_easysocial/includes/image/adapters/asido/class.driver.gd.php on line 208.
This only happens when the user uploads big file e.g. 3MB.
I've checked memory_limit and I think it is OK.

The user belonging to Super Users of Joomla! user groups can upload those big files for his avatar.

What should I check then?
Hi,

That same settings actually applies for profile photo too.

Hi,

It seems like your server only allocates 64M for memory limit. With GD driver on your site, we would recommend a higher memory limit and you could consult your hosting provider on increasing the memory limit.

Hi Jason,

Thank you for your note.
But an administrator can change the user's avatar in back-end.
Also he can change the avatar from front end but the registered user can not...

How do you think?

Hi,

Registered user might have extra actions such as create stream, send notification to friends, etc, and all of these action takes up memory while administrator updating profile might not have a similar set of actions.

Hi Jason,

Thank you for the advice.
That makes sense thank you.

I'll ask hosting provider about this.

I see max. file size setting for photos in administrator>esysocial>profiles>title>access>photo.
I appreciate it if you could add an option of max. file size for profile pictures, in the future.

Thank you Jason;)

I think this issue is resolved.
Thank you again and have a nice day.

FYI
/administrator/components/com_easysocial/includes/image/adapters/asido/class.driver.gd.php
$transparent = imagecolortransparent( $_ , imagecolorallocatealpha( $_ , 0 , 0 , 0 , 127 ) );
when I reduce the number of 127 the memory usage is reduced.
I don't know if I have the troubles with this change.....
