I am using CB with Joomla 3 on a Mac OS 10.9.3, with MAMP on a localhost. I have spent the last couple of months getting familiar with CB and have 4 new questions I am hoping someone can answer:

1. When I try to make any changes in the CB configuration parameters, it does not save the change the first time I click “Save.” I have to keep going back to the parameter, make the change again and click “save” again several times before the parameter will actually change and be saved. It seems like some kind of a bug to me and I am wondering if there is a way to fix it?

2. When a user uploads a pic/avatar to their CB profile, it uploads two copies to joomla/images/comprofiler. In Facebook, when you upload a photo as your profile pic, it is saved in a user folder called “profile pictures.” Then you can change the photo used for the profile from that profile pictures folder. Is there any way to do that with the profile pics uploaded to the profile in CB? As it is, the user is only given the option to replace the former avatar/pic rather than add more to an avatar/pic folder? Is there a way for the user to have multiple avatar/pics from which to choose as on Facebook?

3. I installed the add-on, CB Profile Gallery, thinking this might resolve the problem I mentioned above in #2. When I click on the Profile Gallery tab, it says “No Items published in this profile gallery,” so it is obviously not accessing the profile pic/avatar previously uploaded with the “Update your image” in the Edit menu of the CB User Profile.

4. When I try the option in CB Profile Gallery to “Submit New Gallery Entry,” I get the error message, “Gallery repository could not be created! Please notify system admin.” I AM the system admin and have no clue what to do here???

Besides the profile pic, I would like all pics uploaded through CB Image field types to be also accessible in albums as in Facebook or other social sites. I see there are multiple photo and media plug-ins available for Joomla and CB and I have tried downloading free ones and have actually purchased several as well. I can’t seem to get any to access pics in the joomla/images/comprofiler folder where the user profile avatar is uploaded. I don’t want users to have to upload their pics twice- once to their profile pic/avatar and then again to a separate gallery. When the user uploads a profile pic/avatar, it should also be saved in a gallery too.

It is critical to the site that I am building that the user can upload various media to their profiles and then access that media in albums or galleries as well. For now, I would just be happy to get the photo/avatar situation resolved. The user should have the option of uploading more than one profile/avatar to their profile folder and be able to change those pics from time to time. Eventually, I will probably want to have similar options for video and audio files but for now, just focusing on the pics/avatars. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction?

I too had this issue and somehow, the folder plug_profilegallery was not created on install. Creating this folder solved the problem
images/comprofiler/plug_profilegallery/(userfolder)
