All true. Unfortunately I’m not Shiva, nor can I clone myself, and am having a hard time working on QA contracts AND developing a business with a broken install of buddypress. Plus my test environment would be on a live server anyway since I just don’t have room on my laptop. One thing I’d love to see is for BuddyPress to become more compatible with WP themes in general – so that what should be at most a 30 minute install isn’t a 3-month-12-hours-every-single-day hackfest. BuddyPress has a lot of potential which is why I decided to use it. But my business idea is dead in the water until I can get questions answered.

[@kkradel Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

Good thinking but also time intensive – I gave myself two weeks to get BuddyPress 1.2.10 and then 1.5 up and running and marketed on my site and three months later I’m still trying to get it working. I wish I had the time to set up a test environment.

[@kkradel Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

Thanks.

Seems that the 1.6 upgrade won’t be as tooth pulling as I had imagined it might be

In the meantime, I think that while my current setup is running ok, when I find some time I’ll set up a test environment for the new uprades – so as not to have a jumble for my users when the time comes.

So, the answer is, or rather, my answer to this, was just to remove the activity update altogether. It seemed redundant anyway and the layout looks much better without it.

All I did was delete this line:

“

Deleting any more of of the code for that line, such as the div tags or the function line screwed with the page layout.

That will stop a robot …

I’m hesitant to post my links on this site because of all of the spammers that have been fishing around here lately. But as a QA Engineer, I agree, you have to give as much detail as possible about the bug – even stuff you think is too trivial.

[@kkradel Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

Anyone?

[@kkradel Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

Thanks! That worked for the stream …

[@kkradel Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

Woops, we cross-posted ….

[@kkradel Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

Oh, that was short lived …

It did fix the bit that was wonky, but now adding the sidebar widgets (making the left-column longer) makes the entry-loop in the activity stream push down.

I do have firebug, I just really don’t know what to look for.

[@kkradel Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

OMG! Finally something that seems to have worked!!!!

Thank you @mercime !

[@kkradel Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

What page are you on, or where are you clicking on a username?
Are you using a custom theme or the default?

[@kkradel Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

Strike that last sentence – this menu seems to be appearing to the public now.

[@kkradel Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

It’s off.

[@kkradel Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

OK, I’ll turn it off for a bit.

[@kkradel Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

Yes, I got it to work too! Thanks @r-a-y !

[@kkradel Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

The temporary fix for this is to delete the Activity Plus plugin, download a new copy of it, install it and activate it. That seemed to work, for now.

Wondering if this is going to break every time more than one person posts to groups at a time.

[@kkradel Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

I try not to edit the functions file unless absolutely necessary.

The plugins I am using are absolutely necessary for the site to function, so turning them off or deleting them is not an option. BuddyPress will get deleted before any of the others do!

Not sure what you mean by “I assume you are using a plugin”? Yes, I’m using BuddyPress?
I’m working on adding your snippet to the entry.php page. Still need the edit bit for fixing typos. So far it hasn’t worked … but I could be putting it in the wrong places. Also my activity stream just blew up – which has nothing to do with adding the snippet, and I’ll write it up as a separate report.

Thanks r-a-y!!

[@kkradel Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

Yes, I’ve noticed this too. They aren’t blurry in the person’s or group’s avatar, but they are blurry when they are added to a status update. For instance, the group avatar when I post in a group is fine but then it is included in the status update and there it is blurry.

[@kkradel Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

Maybe could someone tell me what changed in 1.5 that might have affected this? At least point me in the right direction?

[@kkradel Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

I had some folks online today testing this and we realized these are really needed – an edit and delete button in the activity stream (to be used by the logged in user/member and the Network Admin). I had these when I was running 1.2.10 but lost it in the upgrade to 1.5.

Is there a code snippet?

[@kkradel Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

enderpal444 you mean it’s not working now?

I just like to hard code wherever I can and to stay away from plugins as much as possible. That said, I’m already using 27 or so plugins for various things on the site because I don’t have the time to rewrite everything.

[@kkradel Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

I found my fix … it was another typo in the activity/index code. the “padder” was called an id and it should have bee a class.

[@kkradel Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

I’ve just started working on this page and while all of my other pages are following CSS, this one isn’t. I did notice a few typos within the code, but changing them didn’t affect the page layout. This one is driving me nuts.

[@kkradel Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

The mysteries of numbers 2 and 3 may be solved. In Firefox on XP the invite list is way off in the margin and is not see-able unless I use the overscroll bar at the bottom of the page. Site wasn’t designed to have an overscroll bar, so I didn’t think to look beyond the page in front of me!

I figured this out when checking the site on Safari on Vista, where the layout is fine. I had already checked the code and knew that the code was ok.
