SocialProfile does not allow access to avatar images when using img_auth.php
Open, LowestPublic

Description

When using the extension, Social Profile avatars show correctly, until img_auth.php is used in the $wgUploadPath variable. After this, images no longer show. This is on a private wiki.

I am using MW 1.28 with Social Profile from the same release branch.

Happy to provide further details.

img_auth.php + SocialProfile (and/or any other social tools for that matter) is largely an untested (and therefore mostly unsupported) combination, given that the social tools were originally built for a public wiki.
I'll be more than happy to review any and all patches related to this, but neither I nor @SamanthaNguyen are actively working on this, hence setting the priority on this ticket as "lowest".

Just checking in .. Does anyone know of any progress that has been made on this?

There's been no progress whatsoever on this on my behalf or on the behalf of anyone else who'd have submitted their work to gerrit for review. The situation, unfortunately, remains the same as it did back in 2017. :-(

Usually when there's progress, it'll be noted on the task in question, save for some rare edge cases like when the developer in question forgets to connect the two (just earlier today I closed a task that had been fixed back in 2020 but somehow the task hadn't been marked as so). I do think that these cases are pretty rare and the management and prioritization of bugs and feature requests on Phabricator seems to work pretty well.
