Please check over yesterdays threads as this issue has been covered in two threads and you’ll find the answers there. t’s not a bug but you will need to make some changes to your child theme files.

[@hnla Participant 16 years ago]

I really hope you’re wrong about that as this ongoing issue was meant to have been corrected once and for all in 1.2.6.

[@hnla Participant 16 years ago]

Ok quick test the rss feed link on my activity page 1.2.5.2 / 1.2.6 is being messed around with by JS as long as I disable JS in browser the link directs correctly, but not going to look into why at this hour

[@hnla Participant 16 years ago]

Another cheeky bump chouf1

Apropos the problem I had someone report to me earlier that they got a blank page when clicking the activity feed, I couldn’t replicate and dismissed them especially as the feed worked when parsed into another site, they were working on a Mac.

Content in cdata tags? is that correct?

Hmm just checked the feed and it’s gone all haywire the rss link isn’t working and wont take me to /activity/feeds/ just adds display none to div.activity, really hope this is not an issue but it’s too late to look into it but there goes my day tomorrow down the pan

[@hnla Participant 16 years ago]

You need to address this to the author of the theme.

[@hnla Participant 16 years ago]

Naughty bump!

[@hnla Participant 16 years ago]

Better that individuals don’t just pile in to trac adding enhancement tickets wily nily for this sort of area. We need a task group set up to tackle this that looks at what is required, and draws up a list of things to tackle, template tags that are needed etc.

[@hnla Participant 16 years ago]

20mb is far to low – try 64 or 96 or as high as you can provide but not so high that you allocate all your available system memory if a script does misbehave as that will result in the OS crashing

[@hnla Participant 16 years ago]

Not many then! I’ll have those memorised in no time

[@hnla Participant 16 years ago]

This was mentioned in another thread earlier.

The buttons are now called via the do_action hooks as well the members list you will need to remove ‘bp_group_join_button()’ from /groups/groups-loop.php

Still in the process of working out what has been done to the forums directory though!

[@hnla Participant 16 years ago]

If you ask Brajesh nicely when his site is back up and running he may help you with the theme, even though it’s a free theme. however as Roger says any more detailed adjustments customisations may be best handed to a developer to carry out for you.

[@hnla Participant 16 years ago]

BP default theme remains in the buddypress directory in plugins do not move it.

You may need to run the template pack plugin to make your current site theme BP compatible

White screens are indicative of a low php script memory value that will need to be increased, but please check the forums threads as there are many that cover this issue and explain how to deal with it.

[@hnla Participant 16 years ago]

Er you wouldn’t disable anything with the auto update function it does all that ‘automatically’ but yes the concern would be a rouge BP reliant plugin misbehaving possibly and another reason why in the case of BP I would not be chancing to the auto updater.

[@hnla Participant 16 years ago]

Yes the child theme files must be updated! those buttons are now fed via the hook ”bp_directory_members_actions” your theme will likely still be calling this function ‘bp_member_add_friend_button()’ thus the duplicates.

[@hnla Participant 16 years ago]

I have known situations where things simply have stalled or appear to have, and one has had to chance it and just navigate back to the dashboard where things were found to actually have completed, I’m not suggesting that this is the case here or that you chance interrupting the process, but that is a long time to wait.

In all honesty I would never upgrade BP this way, I always perform a manual removal and upload of fresh files via ftp or zip upload.

[@hnla Participant 16 years ago]

@mercime sorry the mention of ‘very odd’ wasn’t meant as a criticism of BP Gallery, more that users will find that facility to upload from that point in the site slightly confusing – as has already been highlighted to me so it’s not my supposition at work here, however all it needs is some UI clarity which I’m happy to work in so that users are clear what features do without them having to find out by trial and error e.g on an icon you MUST always provide an alternative means to identify it as a link, and an image MUST have an ‘alt’ attribute this is proscribed and not optional as well one may also decide to add perhaps title attribute to the anchor.

But far more importantly the issue that the thread alludes to is not one of BP Gallerys making, BP gallery isn’t at fault here it was never supposed to provide the ability to add a simple image directly to ones updates, or was it? have I missed something really obvious here in it’s functionality?

[@hnla Participant 16 years ago]

Please post this then in the ‘Jobs Board’ group

[@hnla Participant 16 years ago]

500 is an internal server error or misconfiguration it might be caused by to low a php script memory value judging by the sound of the profile field page error.

As always to troubleshoot first disable BP confirm that WP works as expected without issue, in this case that you can register accounts without issue, when that is confirmed as ok proceed to enable/activate BP but no other plugins just plain vanilla BP along with the default theme NOT a custom one, confirm whether issues arise.

You might possibly have syntax errors in .htaccess but if so I would expect issues from the get go as it’s read on page load .
If possible confirm the amount set for PHP script memory in php.ini.

[@hnla Participant 16 years ago]

Thread closed!

Please don’t post more than once it will not get seen faster and is poor forum etiquette.

[@hnla Participant 16 years ago]

Yep that should work!

[@hnla Participant 16 years ago]

I’m no longer on their pay plan, so they arent digging in deep for me.

I guess thats why I was hoping to get it resolved on here.

Er well while we’re willing to help there’s a limit to free support, but it’s not so much that that’s the issue it’s simply that we have exhausted what we can probably do without getting down and dirty with the actual site and files. You have an issue that shouldn’t be happening IF you have taken everything back to a clean install and default theme that is. It’s perplexing and I certainly don’t know what to suggest other to still think there’s some customisation or plugin at work causing issues – might not be a bp plugin!

As for asking whether there are files you can replace that is not a question that ought to be asked we have said and I think you have acknowledged that you must be testing with a clean install, core files should never have been modified if your child theme files were then that would be caught by using the default theme to test with – that theme as well as the core files should never be modified. If these conditions are met there is something very screwy going on and you will need to pay a developer to look the site over.

[@hnla Participant 16 years ago]

you can always do if( whatsit || thisit || orthatsit ) if you can’t find one overall check

[@hnla Participant 16 years ago]

The docs are your friend, always check them out:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/conditional-template-tags/

[@hnla Participant 16 years ago]

bp-custom does not exist until you create it. functions.php lives in the theme root

[@hnla Participant 16 years ago]

I would probably throw that one at your developer?

It will be very hard for us to help any further from this point of view, you sound as though you need a developer working with the real files and able to test and debug stuff.
