Invite Anyone 1.0
-
Hi Boone,
Is your update to 1.0 planned for BP 1.5 only?
It looks like “save changes” button in the backend of BP 1.2.9 does not work anymore.thanks.

IA 1.0 has been tested with BP 1.2.9 and BP 1.5-beta-1. It should work on either.
I just tested saving options on BP 1.2.9/BP 3.2.1. It is working correctly. What is happening on your installation? Can you be more specific than “does not work”? And what is your setup?
BP 1.2.9/WP 3.2.1
when I do any changes in the backend (like allow to edit subject line, change words in the text boxes etc.) of invite anyone and push save button, I do not have any changes in the frontend.
Had to install my site from backup and previous version works just fine. Don’t know, maybe it is some conflict of new update and my plugins.
Do not think that we should investigate here something, if you have it working. Do not plan to update to BP 1.5 in near future, because of too important losses in amount of available plugins.thanks.
When you click Save Changes, do the changes look like they are saved on the *back* end? Or do they reset to their previous settings?
Using BP 1.2.9 and IA version 1.0 I get an error on clicking the Settings link from the plugins list. The Settings link is pointing to myrealdomain.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=invite-anyone/admin/admin-panel.php which results in “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”
I can access the settings through the Dashboard > BuddyPress > Invite Anyone and everything seems okay there, but my front end isn’t functioning at all. All the elements appear on a group’s invite existing members page but the quick search filter isn’t doing much at all and ticking the checkbox then submitting takes me back to the home page with no invitation sent either way. Please help. I love this plugin and need it working again for BP 1.2.9I’ve got a conflict. I’ll have to check tomorrow which other plugin is conflicting. Testing on my local sandbox works fine. Damn.
I’m having the same problems. I deactivated all other plugins apart from BuddyPress itself and went back to the default theme.Downloaded and nstalled the plugin again, and on the installation page, when I try to activate it I get a “does not have a valid header” message.
I can activate it from the main plugins page (and it shows up ok on the site), but can’t alter any settings in the backend and I get warning messages across the insert image page in the main blogging area about headers already being sent….

Yup, this was an oversight. Will fix.
`my front end isn’t functioning at all`
If you do figure out the conflict, please let me know.
@gtn Do you have access to your server’s PHP error logs? Can you check to see whether there’s anything helpful in there?
I found the issue with settings not saving properly. It was due to a logic error on my part. https://github.com/boonebgorges/invite-anyone/commit/f74d2ca2b9a44c3211c386898f04d3441e64e0fa
I’m still looking into why there might be problems on the front end. Working properly for me at the moment.
hi Boone, sorry for the delay, had an excellent opportunity to delete my local www again – good for IA, bad for me.
after save button is pressed/loaded, in the backend changes look like saved, but in the frontend same old text. As I see, you have found some issue, probably, my help is not necessary anymore, as I do not get any errors.I have released IA 1.0.1, which fixes the settings issue for 1.2.x.
thaks Boone, 1.0.1 fixed my problem
Cool! Thanks for the quick and thorough bug reports. Can’t fix them without you

I’ve installed the new version, which seems to work ok, although it’s still throwing up the same error messages during the installation process. Across the Media Library popup when you’re creating a new post, I’m getting “Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/sitename/public_html/wp-admin/includes/media.php:313 in /home/sitename/public_html/wp-content/plugins/invite-anyone/by-email/by-email.php on line 391″
I’ve looked for error logs in my hosting Control Panel (not deeply technical here, I’m sorry), but all that I’ve found are empty. It’s a very new site, unlaunched.
@gtn Thanks for the more detailed report.
I’m not able to reproduce your problem, but it appears to have something to do with the cookie that IA sets (and then attempts to unset on line 391 of by-email.php) in order to present error data.
Are you seeing the “cannot modify header information” warning anywhere else on your site when IA is enabled? Is it *only* the media library?
Try commenting out the line in question by doing the following:
- open wp-content/plugins/invite-anyone/by-email/by-email.php in a plain text editor (like Notepad)
- Search the file for the phrase “// Unset the cookie”
- The next line, which begins ‘setcookie’, is the line in question. Comment it out by putting two slashes in front of it, like this:
`// setcookie( ‘invite-anyone-error-data’, ‘ ‘, time() – 360000, COOKIEPATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN );`
- Save the file.See if that helps.
Thank you so much for your incredibly speedy help with this (and I’m sorry not to have been able to provide you with better info from my end). I’ve not seen the error message anywhere else outside the media library popup so far, and a test invite went and arrived without any problem.
I’ve done as you suggested, and the warning message has cleared. Thank you again!
Great, so glad it’s fixed. I’m going to try to do a better job of clearing that cookie in a future version. Good luck, and thanks for your patience!
hey the plugin works great but when i send invites to site members, the invites don’t show up under inventions for each member. I checked the database when i checked the wp_bb_groups_members there were some entries in there i checked the inviter id and it showed 0 i changed that to 1 which is the admin and i also changed the invite_sent from 0 to 1 and now the invite showed up in the member space under invites. what could the issue be ? i have friends turned off , i’m using version 1.01
thanks for the help
I’ve encountered the same problem as rtn, and commenting that cookie line out worked for me. Thanks.
I’ve been experimenting with IA, but I can’t seem to get the email invitations to work (the link generated leads to a page that doesn’t exist so it produces a 404 error). Is there any advice anyone could give me to fix this?
Thanks in advance, btw.
