CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I created a custom field on a registration profile that gets used as part of the Drupal registration process, and the photo uploads without a problem, however it's distorted. In other words, if the original photo is taller than it is wide, the width gets stretched so the person looks fatter. The photo must be square in order to not be distorted.

Also, the uploaded photo looks more grainy than the original or than the result if uploaded directly through Drupal's registration page. I'd like the photo to be available in the CiviCRM contact info, so I'd prefer to upload it as part of the CiviCRM registration profile.

Help will be appreciated.

Thanks for the thought. Unfortunately, being that users will be uploading the photos upon registration, it's a sure bet they won't be the same size.

The site is still in development, so no live pages.

Thanks.

Can someone just clarify how the photo upload is working? Others have it working - my quick trial failed. Created field - type = file. Added to a Profile used for Reg'n.

Fields is exposed in the profile with a Browse button = so looks good. Browse to a jpg, url shows in the field - click Save - field now shows as empty. Go to users record - nothing showing in the field.

Am I missing a folder somewhere that isn't triggering an error msg?
