BuddyPress.org

its working for me in FFox 3.6

what browser are you using?

You really should search before posting, rather than have us do it

this is most likely a mod_rewrite / .htaccess issue o in this instance on a windows server a lack of mod_rewrite.

It is a question that crops up many times, try this link for some info and follow it’s links as well.

The WP Codex also has advice on url rewriting in particular on windows servers.

@nit3watch wp-config is not a file that gets overwritten otherwise everyones site would go down every time one upgraded Adding Constants to wp-config is an method set out in the codex as is bp-custom, not that I like adding bp stuff to wp-config particularly.

@PiManIII you should always check the documentation and do a quick search first as it’s a subject that crops up often have a look through the bp codex as there is a page on this subject. (scroll to bottom)

There seems to be something wrong with the custom header process with the buddypress theme. I set up images with 1250 × 125 pixel dimensions, but they are then cropped and expanded, so part of the image is missing and the resolution is lowered. Most frustrating. Has anyone found this?

does anybody working on bp-events now? it’s working, but not so good.. for example avatar crop doesn’t work..

i found the problem.. but not the solution. there is a javascript i am running called <script type="text/javascript" src="/js/jquery-1.3.2.js”>
that… when i take it out…. enables the crop lines to show up. Pain in the butt. the problem is that the jquery1.2.3 is controiling my drop down menu. Any ideas how i can keep the js and still have the cropping functionality?

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.

ooh.. and to add… i used the plugin “user-avatar” and the crop from the dashboard profile works fine.. so i know it has something to do with my themes expression of the code…

Hey everyone. I am having the same problem. I have tried most everything… but i am sure it has something to do with the jcrop function being disabled by the theme i am working from. Can someone please HELP ME?!? it is driving me crazy. The site is http://www.ningbotoday.com&#8230; and so far i have enacted most of the solutions in this topic. For the most recent… my bp-core-cssjs.php file has the following line..
// 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 i add the line as you say, and i get nothing. I have also changed the upload directory to the specific directory, and no love there either. I want to get thru this so i can attend to the rest of the slew of projects i have lined up for this site. Can anyone help?

I just registered to say this: @creay one million THX!!

S2Member is not the problem.. Unless you do not use the regular BuddyPress signup option and only allow people to signup through a S2Member registration form.

The avatar upload step should always appear. You might have a jQuery conflict but even then you should SEE the upload process, you just would not be able to crop your avatar after upload.

@Annoyed, What theme are you using? Do you have a link I could take a look at. Often the problem is that a theme or plugin includes a different version of jquery to the that comes with WordPress. You could load jquery from google. Put this code at the top of your functions.php (in your theme folder)

`function my_init_method() {
wp_deregister_script( ‘jquery’ );
wp_register_script( ‘jquery’, ‘http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js&#8217;);
}

add_action(‘init’, ‘my_init_method’);`

Those control the size of the avatars (used in and for cropping, and in theory throughout the site): https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/changing-internal-configuration-settings/

I’d definitely look at s2member. It hijacks the normal user creation process and that’s probably why it doesn’t have the capability.

Do you have any other pluginstthemes installed? Try disabling s2member temporarily and using the out of the box theme. I just had a very similar issue with facestream causing issues with group setup/avatars on my end.

Not a single solution? really?

Have you honestly scoured all the docs pages here and the WP codex ones, have you searched the posts in the support groups here?

I know that this issue crops up often enough that there are many posts that have covered this aspect or issue, there is also WP
codex pages on permalinks and how to deal with them which essentially is the issue you are experiencing by the sound of things.

One last point this isn’t really a BP issue , it’s a WP one WP handles this aspect and it’s important to get WP working correctly before moving on to activating BP.

Is it happening in case of multiple web-browsers ?

as it happen with my demo install , the solution was , I restarted the browser and everything turn ok ….
also updating the browser or delete browser cache can solve the problem , If its related to browser ?

Yeah, my problem was the jquery version as well.. thanks for the help.

@djpaul I agree… probably a 1.2.61 or something… It seems like there are a couple of other little “bugs” that should have been cleared cropping up as I read through the forums… Thanks for the fix.
