Hello,

I just installed ES 1.05 and tried a migration from Jomsocial 3.

For some reason, avatars don't appear in the ES user profile. However, there do seem to be photos in media/com_easysocial/photos

Am I doing something wrong?

Jordan
Hi Jordan,

I am sorry for the delay is this reply.

Regarding your issue, I've checked your site and it seems like your migration from Jomsocial into EasySocial was not complete I've re-run the migrator and now the avatar is migrated correctly. Please see http://screencast.com/t/inwcsXqx

Hope this help and have a nice day

Thanks,

Its strange, I ran the migrator twice myself.

This happened on another site as well.

Some additional issues with the migration...

The users first name/last name does not appear in their account. It seems the username was migrated as first name.

hey jordan,
to correctly migrate first name / last name from jomsocial to easysocial the fields in jomsocial needs to have the field code that was suggested by jomsocial in the past. so first name needs to be: FIELD_GIVENNAME and last name: FIELD_FAMILYNAME

hope that helps

Hi there,

I see.

But in my Jomsocial installation, users don't enter separate first name/last name. The stock registration form contains simply 'name', presumably a requirement since it writes to the Joomla user table with 'name'
