Fatal error: Call to a member function getDirectoryPath() on a non-object when gravtar is enabled

Also happens in Bartik theme, after default, fresh installation

Same here. If you go to the user page with gravatar enabled you see

Fatal error: Call to a member function getDirectoryPath() on a non-object in [path_to_site_install]/modules/image/image.module on line 809

@chrissearle, duplicate issue: http://drupal.org/node/937562

@Narno Thanks for the link :)

OK - after update to beta2 I can now set a default pic as described in http://drupal.org/node/937562 without breaking the site. I don't see the image on any posts or the user pages though - so something there is still odd (I used the example given - http://images.adbard.net/sites/default/files/audience_1.png)

The 2010-Aug-14 7.x-1.x gravatar is still giving the error about getDirectoryPath() - line 809 in image module.

$url = url(file_stream_wrapper_get_instance_by_scheme($scheme)->getDirectoryPath() . '/' . file_uri_target($destination), array('absolute' => TRUE));

http://drupal.org/node/950348 for non-display of default pic

Just tested in D7 beta3 - still seeing the error about getDirectoryPath(). http://drupal.org/node/937562 is marked fixed in CVS head over a month ago - so I assume that fix has made it in to at least the latest beta.

The patch mentioned in #937562: [Regression] Fatal Error Call to a member function getDirectoryPath() on a non-object when Default picture is set has gone into D7 beta 3. This error is due to an error in the gravtar module itself. In the gravatar_preprocess_user_picture function theme('image_style', ... is called for an external URI. The check on file_valid_uri($picture) should be done here as well.

I have changed the title of the issue to reflect the error message

I am attaching a patch that adds the file_valid_uri check before calling the image_style theme function.

Changing status

this patch fixed the problem for me

Thanks! Committed #9 to CVS!
