I'm just an elggnoob, but the answer is probably that the Elggchat plugin is not (yet) compatible with Elgg 6. The last version I can find is for Elgg 4.

From what I can tell by teaching myself about Elgg is that Elgg 6 is quite different to older versions.

As a general hint (which helped me a lot navigating this website): If you browse for plugins, use this link:

https://elgg.org/plugins/list/newest

Only the plugins on the first (about) 5 pages work with Elgg 6. Everything after that is outdated and not worth checking out. (Something might still work though, but most likely not.)

thanks for the reply, I would like to post a chat in elgg anyone knows how to help me

I’ve integrated the Gravatar third-party libraries with PHP Faker, and it's working as expected. Now, I’m trying to generate a fake user avatar using Gravatar, but I’ve encountered an issue.

Here's how I retrieve the avatar path from the temp directory (/tmp/e3395a721f569696dd6e9509dd20c8bb.jpg), and it works fine:

$profile_icon_url = $this->faker()->gravatar(sys_get_temp_dir(), 'wavatar');

After that, I set the user’s avatar using the following method:

$user->saveIconFromLocalFile($profile_icon_url);

When trying to see the user profile the avatar is not displayed, and I have the following error in the log file

ELGG.ERROR: ErrorException: imagewebp(/var/data/elgg-6.x.x/5000/5667/profile/5667medium.webp): Failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/pessek/WEB/elgg-6.0.0/vendor/imagine/imagine/src/Gd/Image.php:648\nStack trace

After investigation 

The directory  /var/data/elgg-6.x.x/5000/5667/profile/ does not contain a file named 5667medium.webp. It only contains a file named 5667master.jpg
 

So 5667medium.webp has not been generated.

Could someone help me ?

Regards,

can it be that the cli uses a different user than the webserver?

In your seeding (cli) only a master icon is created. Then on the website when you view a user the thumbnails are created which are needed. If the webserver can write the thumbnail (like it says in the error log) you won't see a thumbnail.

So check the permissions on the dataroot folder.

I found the issue. I was not running the cli as apache user.

Thanks a lot
