Front End

I’ve got a similar problem. I was able to easily retrieve the image with this:

<?php userphoto_thumbnail($current_user->id) ?>

However, I’m still struggling trying to upload a photo from the frontend (though your delete solution works, kudos!)

Hi,

I tried also several things to upload @ the frontend but no results.
It seems the system does not see the upload $_FILES['userphoto_image_file'].

Does someone have a workaround?

Ps. The delete function is working perfectly.

Regards

UPDATE: SOLVED
I forgot the following line in my form. <form enctype="multipart/form-data" >

Hi Arvid,

Hi Kevin,

Here is my code:

On the page

<form action="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="adduser">
      <table class="leden">
        <tr>
          <td class="links" width="205"><strong>Profile foto</strong></td>
          <td width="10">:</td>
          <td class="rechts" width="205"><?php
		  if(userphoto_exists($current_user)){
		  userphoto($current_user);
		  ?>
            <input type="checkbox" name="userphoto_delete" id="userphoto_delete" />
            Delete current photo?
            <?php
		  }
		 ?>
            <input type="file" id="userphoto_image_file" name="userphoto_image_file">
            <br></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td class="links"><strong>Password</strong></td>
          <td width="10">:</td>
          <td class="rechts"><input name="pass1" type="password" id="pass1" />
            (min. 4 chars)</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td class="links"><strong>Password again</strong></td>
          <td width="10">:</td>
          <td class="rechts"><input name="pass2" type="password" id="pass2" /></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td class="links"><strong>Last name</strong></td>
          <td width="10">:</td>
          <td class="rechts"><input name="last-name" type="text" id="last-name" value="<?php the_author_meta( 'last_name', $current_user->ID ); ?>" /></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td class="links"><strong>First name</strong></td>
          <td>:</td>
          <td class="rechts"><input name="first-name" type="text" id="first-name" value="<?php the_author_meta( 'first_name', $current_user->ID ); ?>" /></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td class="links"><strong>E-mail</strong></td>
          <td>:</td>
          <td class="rechts"><input name="email" type="email" id="email" value="<?php the_author_meta( 'user_email', $current_user->ID ); ?>" /></td>
        </tr>
      </table>
      <?php echo $referer; ?>
      <?php wp_nonce_field( 'vdsgvsdgcs' ) ?>
      <input name="action" type="hidden" id="action" value="update-user" />
      <a class="button mb30" href="javascript:;" onclick="document.getElementById('adduser').submit();">save</a>
    </form>

This script does the update and you can put it above the form:

<?php
/* Get user info. */
global $current_user, $wp_roles;
get_currentuserinfo(); 

/* Load the registration file. */
require_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/registration.php' );
$error = array();
/* If profile was saved, update profile. */
if ( 'POST' == $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] && !empty( $_POST['action'] ) && $_POST['action'] == 'update-user' ) {

    /* Update user password. */
    if ( !empty($_POST['pass1'] ) && !empty( $_POST['pass2'] ) ) {
        if ( $_POST['pass1'] == $_POST['pass2'] )
            wp_update_user( array( 'ID' => $current_user->ID, 'user_pass' => esc_attr( $_POST['pass1'] ) ) );
        else
            $error[] = __('The passwords you entered do not match.  Your password was not updated.', 'profile');
    }

    /* Update user information. */
    if ( !empty( $_POST['email'] ) ){
        if (!is_email(esc_attr( $_POST['email'] )))
            $error[] = __('The Email you entered is not valid.  please try again.', 'profile');
        elseif(email_exists(esc_attr( $_POST['email'] )) != $current_user->ID && email_exists(esc_attr( $_POST['email'] )) != false)
            $error[] = __('This email is already used by another user.  try a different one.', 'profile');
        else{
			wp_update_user( array ('ID' => $current_user->ID, 'user_email' => esc_attr( $_POST['email'] )));
        }
    }

    if ( !empty( $_POST['first-name'] ) )
        update_user_meta( $current_user->ID, 'first_name', esc_attr( $_POST['first-name'] ) );
    if ( !empty( $_POST['last-name'] ) )
        update_user_meta($current_user->ID, 'last_name', esc_attr( $_POST['last-name'] ) );
    if ( !empty( $_POST['description'] ) )
        update_user_meta( $current_user->ID, 'description', esc_attr( $_POST['description'] ) );

    /* Redirect so the page will show updated info.*/
  /*I am not Author of this Code- i dont know why but it worked for me after changing below line to if ( count($error) == 0 ){ */
    if ( count($error) == 0 ) {
        //action hook for plugins and extra fields saving
       // do_action('edit_user_profile_update', $current_user->ID);
        wp_redirect( get_permalink() );
        exit;
    }
}
?>

I hope it helps

Arvid,
Can I add some script to a page to give the user the possibility to just upload a user photo?
I am using wp-members to show and update member info.
Thanks
