@thelandman hey! thanks for making me realize i had 2 jquerys called in the header..i just deleted the other jquery call and the avatar crop problem is now fixed!

@r-a-y, when you say (YOUR IMAGE URL HERE) do you mean just paste a link to the picture we want? How would i change these codes so that I can simply upload a new header image in dashboard and crop it to a certain size?

i’ve used this tutorial http://buddydress.com/2010/04/custom-header-tutorial-adding-an-image-and-changing-the-size/
but it gets all messed up when i edit my child theme’s default.css

Ehi @rbbp22, thank you so much for your work on this.

Well, I’ve tried your solution, but the only thing I get is view the avatar changed after the cropping process (on the registration).

When my user is going to load his profile after the login, the avatar will not displayed (there’ll be the default one).

Seems something wrong in the ‘save’ process.

Hi folks

I think I may have found a solution, at least to how I was experiencing it.

I am using wp 3.2.1. and BP 1.2.9 with a bp-default child theme

FIRST the default gravatar image was not showing at all in firefox. I don’t use gravatars on my site and filter them out all together. I applied a filter to
bp_get_signup_avatar
to replace the gravatar.com image with a link to mysteryman directly on my site.

SECOND

I think the function

bp_get_signup_avatar_dir_value() in bp-core-templatetags.php

has a bug.

The last line applies the filter.

However, when the user signups up or uploads an avatar $bp->signup->avatar_dir seems to be empty.

There are a few if then else statements that work with $signup_avatar_dir so this seems to be the relevant value to pass along. I changed the last line in the function code to

THIRD

I found that register.php in the theme is lacking a hidden field for the signup avatar directory

The relevant section is: (REF section A)

You’ll notice that the section just below this that handles what the user sees when cropping has an additional hidden field.

I inserted this in the (Section A) that the user sees before and after cropping

The theme I’m using had Nivo baked in, and it was interfering with other jquery functions as well. I ripped all references to Nivo out of my theme, and also removed the redundant call to load jquery, especially given it was loading jquery-1.6.2 while WP was loading 1.6.1.

Cool — well done for getting the crop working!

Yeah. On the cropper page, it should be loading a jcrop javascript file. Does your theme have both wp_head and wp_footer actions?

> The image appears in the crop screen, but I don’t get the crop tool. So the image that’s uploaded is the “upper left corner” of the image.

Check your web browser javascript error logs after you do this. Any messages? If not, check your web browser’s logs, too.

== Click on “register”…fill out some random information and you’ll see ==
Uh, not many would register. Give a username and password and we can check uploading image using the U/P you provided.

Does it upload the image? Does it store it as a temporary file on the server (dump $_FILES)? Do you get to the crop screen? Does the image appear on the crop screen? Does the cropper selection box work / does the preview work?

WP/BP versions? Theme used? Is the image you’re uploading smaller than 150px x 150px? Do you have GD library installed in your server?

Hmm guess it may be time then for you to do the old “remove plugins turn one by one on”. I know it can be a pain but that may be required.

I don’t get any cropping issues so my first thoughts would be you say you have a version of the default theme from an older BuddyPress install. Can you try the newer version that came with 1.2.9 please? Also do you have any issues with other media uploading say through the media uploader?
