Xevo – thanks – you beat me to the typo correction – I reversed the database position when typing the question – I’ve now fixed it and written what I actually meant to say, rather than the opposite of it – LOL – coffee NEEDED urgently.

[@gazouteast Participant 16 years, 11 months ago]

Thanks Rocket – that’s less new code than the method I’d ended up using after 6 hours of hair pulling

well done that man.

Ooh I so want this plugin for when I finally get group avatars to work

Westpointer, anyway you can add me to a notify list for once the bugs are ironed out? – maybe create a group here on BP.org that we could all join

Thinking about it – does BP.org allow group creation for individual plugin and theme authors to develop a “fan club”? Would be a good idea in my reckoning.

Still not resolved after countless hours of researching and searching for a solution.

[@gazouteast Participant 16 years, 11 months ago]

Found similar issues on the osCommerce forums related to javascript uploaders for images, and in the WordPress.org forums for the WP media Library’s flash uploader since v2.5

Although I’m not tech enough to solve this issue, it does absolutely appear to be related to the javascript cropper for uploaded images ….. AND NOTHING ABOVE HAS FIXED IT FOR ME

Please don’t trot out the “start your own thread” instruction – there is too much of the above posts that are pertinent and the problem is not resolved.

…. or do you want the same situation as the WP.org forums that have hundreds of report threads about this error? None of them resolved other than to point at the WP plugin to use the “no flash uploader” plugin.

I have a 3-4 day old install of WPMU 2.8.4a & BP 1.1.2

I don’t have the above settings in wpmu/wp-config.php but I do have 3 of them, but not SITECOOKIEPATH in wpmu/wp-settings where they are not supposed to be edited from what the comments in the file imply.

Or … are you saying there is a file of the same name under wpmu/wp-content/buddypress/ ?

The answer might assist with a problem I’m having.

Not sure if this is a clue to the issue, but using FireBug to check the create avatar page css and html shows up a few things that I think are contributory …

First thing that hit me is that there are an awful lot of unescaped <div>’s in there

Second thing that hit me was that it’s taking an uploaded image of 150px x 150px and only giving it 82px x 16px to display itself – add that to the “overflow:hidden” css command, and there’s no way the whole avatar is going to be allowed to display.

This looks to me like the avatar cropper is incomplete – both it’s code (php or js files) and its css file seem to be missing chunks of code – but then I’m no expert.

What do other people think?

[@gazouteast Participant 16 years, 11 months ago]

I don’t have AWPCP (but do actually want it once the basics are sorted) and I have the same problems as above,

It nmanifests itself in the incomplete avatar display and the non-functioning crop tool. It also hides the skip avatar step button so that ANY group creation gets stuck in the step 3 avatar upload screen and cannot progress.

BP 1.1.2 on WPMU 2.8.4a no BP plugins and only Akismet and Blog Defaults plugins on WPMU

[@gazouteast Participant 16 years, 11 months ago]

Am having the same issue but it reports there was a problem saving the uploaded file – am wondering if it’s a permissions issue, or if it’s a fall-over from WordPress Media Manager where the flash uploader simply refuses to complete the operation for some host configurations, and the “No Flash Uploader” plugin is then needed.

Really would appreciate some input from the devs on this one.

[@gazouteast Participant 16 years, 11 months ago]

DJPaul – I fear you are wrong – this is EVERYTHING to do with buddyPress – BP KILLS WPMU themes when that pig of a 1960’s ice cream parlour decor known as bp-sn-parent and it’s cantankerous child bp-default take over the entire site.

The plugin “Default Blog Templates” is available from the WPMU Plugins repository but the “bluddypress” default theme also kills the settings in that, and takes control of the blog admin pages too, such that saved drafts cannot be previewed and the top left button to “visit site” simply returns the user back to the blog admin dashboard.

I don’t know if this is specific to just v1.1.2 on WPMU 2.8.4a but it’s getting closer to a rip-out and ditch for BP for me. At least WPMU was working and ready for custom development before BP went in.
