BuddyPress.org

I also have the same problem. Not just with my regular site, to which I’ve done a ton of tweaking, but also on a fairly fresh install on a different domain. What happens is that I click on “send private message” and everything comes up fine, an email with name of the person I’m about to email, plus a text-entry box to the right of the name. If I try to type into that field, the first thing that happens is that my header image reverts to the original blue of the default buddypress install… and then if I click “tab”, the following html comes up in that field I just tabbed out of: “”. Odd.

This installation of WordPress only uses the BuddyPress plugin. No other. It’s a relatively clean install, again, with 1 plugin. My main site, however, also exhibits this problem.

thanks in advance for the help on this.

@farmerpaul I’ve added root components starting from bp_loaded, with the component registered at setup_globals (setting up $bp->{component name}, etc.) and bp_setup_root_components and adding the controller for the component at wp,1 and navigation at wp,2 (I needed them to be after init as I was joining custom posts types which become available at init).

See these files:

http://code.google.com/p/eventpress/source/browse/trunk/eventpress/controllers/main.php

Make sure your style.css starts with…

/*
Theme Name: BuddyPress Dusk
Theme URI: http://example.org/themes/dusk/
Description: Dark theme for BuddyPress.
Version: 1.0
Author: John Doe
Author URI: http://example.org/
Template: bp-default
Tags: buddypress, two-column, grey, dark
*/

and don’t forget the bold line!

@jeffsayre Uhhh… is it the 8th or is it the 15th? The main page says the 8th, today, but the badge at the top says 15th.

Have you read this post?

Hope this helps.

I had the same problem, and this page is ranking in google for the error message, so for future reference:

I had the “Avatars” plugin installed — disabling it made the error go away (Buddypress provides the functionality I need)

@burtadsit i have same problem ….. i am using latest theme pack plugin for buddypress so that would be controlling the date output on the profiles …. everyones birthday is 1 day back ….. please help

SInce BP 1.2.6 has the same problem, I would like to open my idea, which is based on @liemcc.

As $upload_dir in bp-core-avatars.php seems to be correct, I changed $upload_dir only.

At line 571 or so,

`[ Original ]
$upload_dir = str_replace( get_blog_option( $current_blog->blog_id, ‘home’ ) , get_blog_option( BP_ROOT_BLOG, ‘home’ ), $upload_dir );

[ Changed ]
$upload_dir = get_home_url( BP_ROOT_BLOG, ‘/’ ) . get_blog_option( BP_ROOT_BLOG, ‘upload_path’);`

Note: There are some other way of correction, and I selected the above becuase I do not want to write the direct path like “/wp-content/” in case upload path changes in the future again.
The reason why we have to change the original script is that WP 3.0.1 has changed upload path for the Blog ID 1 from blogs.dir to “wp^content/uploads” unless we change the default upload path, where “BP_ROOT_BLOG” means Blog ID 1.

I hope this will be helpful for everyone and the next-version BP.

@auphoria – Review how to create a functions.php file in your theme’s folder:
https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/functions-php/

Then add the code snippet in between the PHP tags.

@EvanBerard ~ I hope this helps, but if not, let me know and I’ll see if I can help some more. The code is certainly not ready for prime-time but does give the ability to add profile fields for groups in Buddypress. You have to know your way around the code a little to understand what is going on though. You can see loader.php @ buddypress-group-fields.php @ http://pastebin.com/DfxwhLXU and compare it to my starting point which is the BP Group Extension API in the BP Codex @ https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/group-extension-api/ to see what I’ve done, which isn’t much, but hopefully it helps you a bit! The ZIP is online for now at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/244479/buddypress-group-fields.zip if you want it but probably won’t keep that up there forever so I wanted to include the code as well.

@r-a-y
Thanks! Sorry I didn’t reply sooner, I don’t have email notifications on for this site. That’s a neat piece of code for the library.

@clawder — bbPress may be more appropriate for your needs.

@defunctlife OH snap! you’re right. I’ll update that, thanks!

Hi @BuddyPresser !
I have found out another way get it not editing core files. Put this filter into your functions.php file:

`function bp_remove_gravatar ($image, $params, $item_id, $avatar_dir, $css_id, $html_width, $html_height, $avatar_folder_url, $avatar_folder_dir) {

$default = ‘http://yoursite.net/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/images/mystery-man.jpg’;

if( $image && strpos( $image, “gravatar.com” ) ){

return ‘‘;
}else
return $image;

}
add_filter(‘bp_core_fetch_avatar’, ‘bp_remove_gravatar’, 1, 9 );

function remove_gravatar ($avatar, $id_or_email, $size, $default, $alt) {

$default = ‘http://yoursite.net/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/images/mystery-man.jpg’;
return ““;
}

add_filter(‘get_avatar’, ‘remove_gravatar’, 1, 5);
`

It worked for me

@defunctlife I made a blog post about how i did it if you want to check it out.

WP – 3.0.1
BuddyPress – 1.2.5.2
Buddypress theme with compatibility
Ok.. I want to make clear the problem I have been having with my Avatar Cropping process in my BuddyPress installations.
I can crop successfully on my dashboard, Using the “User-Avatar” plugin. But then I installed buddypress and when users attempt to build their own avatars inside the themed site, the only thing I get is a cropped preview of the top left corner of any picture I choose(both pictures display properly), but no ability to crop or even see the cropping elements.
I have read thru the solutions, and tried to implement them. First.. I use “qian-ava”s solution. I am using WP 3.0… so I need to find my Upload paths by going to..
SETTINGS -> MEDIA
When there I add to the Uploading Files fields by entering “wp-content/uploads” into the” Store uploads in this folder” area and my full path of http://www.ningbotoday.com/wp-content/uploads/ into the “Full URL path to files” area. Just note… I added all the double quotations.
After I do this I attempt to go into line 389 of my bp-core-avatars.php file and…
‘Replace:
if ( !$path = get_option( ‘upload_path’ ) )
$path = WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/uploads’;
With:
if ( !$path = get_option( ‘upload_path’ ) )
$path = WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/uploads’;
else $path = ABSPATH . $path;’
But… I do not have the “if” statement to replace! The closest thing I have is from 384 – 390…
‘if ( empty( $bp->avatar_admin->resized ) )
$bp->avatar_admin->image->dir = str_replace( BP_AVATAR_UPLOAD_PATH, ”, $bp->avatar_admin->original );
else {
$bp->avatar_admin->image->dir = str_replace( BP_AVATAR_UPLOAD_PATH, ”, $bp->avatar_admin->resized );
@unlink( $bp->avatar_admin->original );

}’
But I don’t see anything that I can replace. So either way.. I tried to test the script and just pop it in nearest to the line 389 to no avail. I ended up getting an error and my page does not load. Back to the drawing board. I reversed the process and started again.

I then took “Creay”s advise (https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/avatar-upload-issues/?topic_page=7&num=15#post-70855), because his problem directly describes mine, and decided to look into the expression of Jcrop and its possibility of not firing off. He changed core-cssjs.php inside the pb-core folder inside the buddypress plugin. He added
‘<script src="/wp-includes/js/jcrop/jquery.Jcrop.js”>’
After the line ‘$aspect_ratio = (int) constant( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH’ ) / (int) constant( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT’ ); ?>’

I have a area in my bo-core-cssjs.php file that reads between line 88-91
‘ // Calculate Aspect Ratio
if ( (int) constant( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT’ ) && ( (int) constant( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH’ ) != (int) constant( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT’ ) ) )
$aspect_ratio = (int) constant( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH’ ) / (int) constant( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT’ );
?> “
So after the ?> I added the line. Nothing. Still not getting the crop to work properly. I encourage anyone to take a try and register on the site.. I would like to nail this problem down before I launch the site or even more to far forward. The site is http://www.ningbotoday.com
Thank you for all your help in advance.
