BuddyPress

Hello,
I am running BP 1.1.1 on different blog id other than the root, in my case blog id =3. I changed this in the bp-core for the site to function properly. Also at first I had the friends feature disabled, now I have it enabled and still the autocomplete feature does not function at all when composing to friends.

Any thoughts?

I’m having the same problem although probably not with the same background because no such core-alterations have been taking place.

But how can I debug this? How can we find out where to look?

I too am having this problem. Is this a javascript issue? Any help on this matter would be fantastic.

Chewbaker, if only not-friends are not self-completing, then this is the way it is intended to be.

If autocomplete is not working no matter what, then welcome to the club.

I’d really appreciate any troubleshooting and debugging hints on this one, as messaging is practically worthless without the function.

I agree, messaging is completely worthless without autocomplete.
I have friends enabled. made friends with users and still no autocomplete.
When I inspect in firebug, it says that autocomplete is off. See below code.

<input id="send-to-input" class="send-to-input ac_input" type="text" name="send-to-input" autocomplete="off"/>

I have searched the forums and found people have similar problems(though they were several months old), however, no solution has been posted that I could find.

Is this a 1.1.1 bug?
Hopefully a moderator sees this and helps us out.

Oh, lucky you. I get only this:

<input type="text" id="send-to-input" class="send-to-input" name="send-to-input"/>

Any suggestions about how to debug this effectively?

Hello all,

So I figured out what was breaking my autocomplete.

I have two blogs set up on mu using virtual sub-directories instead of subdomains.

The first blog is on the root using the default theme and acts as an outside blog (blog id=1) and the buddypress theme is on another blog for a private area (blog id=2). By doing this, I can have 1 wp-admin with a public and private area.

However, by changing the blog id in the bp-core file from 1 to 2 on line 20 for buddypress, it breaks the autocomplete ; but everything else works fine. i believe this is a bug …but if anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this please let me know.

Unfortunately, this is not helping me. No core modifications with my install. I just don’t have anything saying autocomplete=”off” in my sourcecode.

You must be friends with the users for autocomplete to work. No friends == no autocomplete.

Thanks Andy. Though I know that and that’s not the problem here. I’m only trying with friends. And it was working before my update to 1.1 I believe.

How can I troubleshoot this?

As mentioned above, I do not have the autocomplete=”off” in my source code for the send-to-input. I guess this is related.

Actually, for me, autocomplete does not even work on BP.org. I composed a message a couple of days ago to DJPaul and JJJ–who are both friends–and the autocomplete was AWOL. I just tried again, and no dice.

There is also an issue with messages not getting sent which is being discussed here:

I vote we stick JJJ on it. Nothing better than a nice easy AJAX-related bug for a weekend, eh.

Thanks Jeff. Noticed the same thing a few minutes ago. It’s just what I have on my local install (it seems so at least).

Paul, I agree. I’m sure jjj has nothing to do this weekend.

@Bpisimone

I’m not sure if BP.org has been upgraded yet to 1.1.2–but I’m assuming it has since it was a critical update.

On a related messaging note, I just tried another test message to jjj, and this time it went through without error.
