Hi,

I’ve come across a weird issue with AJAX (jquery) calls from the admin page of a group extension and I’ve been looking for a solution for a few days now without much luck.

I have a child theme of the BP Default theme and a group extension that loads and displays data depending on user selection. This was all working fine in BP 1.5.2 / WP 3.4.1. Since updating to BP 1.7.2 and WP 3.5.1 this no longer works correctly. Instead of loading/displaying the data it supposed to it loads and displays the full html of the admin page again.

In order to debug this I’ve tried the following:

1. Clean install of WordPress 3.5.1 with Buddypress 1.7.2 the only activated plugin
2. Activated TwentyTwelve theme
3. Added a basic group extension to the theme’s functions.php. This extension only contains a link on the group admin page and does nothing else.
4. Registered a simple “Hello World” ajax function in functions.php
5. Added some jquery in a seperate Javascript file to load and display the output from the “Hello World” function when the link on the group extension admin page is clicked

-> Testing this at this stage works fine and the output is “Hello World” as expected.

However I then switched the theme it to a child theme of BP default. This theme has nothing else than functions.php containing the group extension and the “Hello World” AJAX function, the Javascript file (using exactly the same code as above).

-> Testing this the output is now the full html of current admin page again instead of “Hello World”.

Has anyone else come across this problem?

Is this a bug within the BP default theme?
