BuddyPress.org

Hey guys,

i am using Jukt micronics theme downloaded from BuddyPress webiste and avatar crop after upload works in all browsers except IE8. It’s strange that it works in IE7, but not working in IE8.

When i upload the photo it gives me this error:
Message: ‘document.documentElement’ is null or not an object
Line: 153
Char: 486
Code: 0
URI: http://www.teledruzenje.com/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.4.2

I didn’t upgrade BP to 1.2.5.2. Does this problem occur in new version too?

It would nice if somebody would give some hint to us what to do to solve this strange problem.

Cheers

Furthermore, we just updated the version today and it was having the same issue on the old version

Any suggestions on what to do? we have tried this on all versions of the top 3 browsers, different size of images, file types, etc and cannot update.
We get an error on page when attempting to do so.
This started happening about a week ago for us as well. When the image is uploaded there is a box that appears with resizing handles, and disappears as soon as you click on it. Very frustrating for our 225 members for our new site we just launched using buddypress

here are the details:

1) Yes, this is possible via this plugin – http://www.justin-klein.com/projects/wp-fb-autoconnect
2) Yup, BP offers profiles with avatar uploading / cropping.
3) By P2P, I believe you mean the activity stream. You can disable that in the admin area.
4) It depends what you mean by “simple forum”. The forums in BuddyPress do not offer a universal backend to administrate topics. Also, an important distinction you need to know is BuddyPress uses a concept known as “groups”. You need to create a group before you can enable a forum. This is similar to way Facebook works with fan pages. If you need a traditional forum (with forum categories, admin interface), stick to your bbPress install.

If you just want profiles, you can enable just the profiles component and turn off the rest.

The fundamental difference between BuddyPress and bbPress is this:
-bbPress is a forum
-BuddyPress is a social networking script

I believe it’s possible to have extended profiles and avatars on your bbPress install as well. There should be a few plugins out there that does the job.

Re: future of bbPress – it’s pretty much confirmed that bbPress will become a WordPress plugin some time late this year (in fact, work has begun!). Standalone bbPress will cease to exist. However, there are plans to provide backwards compatibility to the new plugin via an import script.

The default crop results in a final image that is different from default crop area shown.
Moving the crop handle even slightly results in proper cropping.
This is confirmed to occur in all browsers in all congurations in all fresh installs of fresh WP 3 and fresh latest downloadable BP 1.2.5.2.

It seems odd that the select tool to choose crop area still does not show at all. When I installed BP, it worked. I just tried deactivating all BP plugins, and even with just the base BPplugin, the select tool fro group avatar does not show, so unable to select crop area.

I think this may have occurred with the latest BP update, since I know it worked a week ago.

Thanks,
David

Also https://buddypress.org/community/members/pandragon/profile/change-avatar/ not working lol

Also having problem can’t replace avatars and can’t crop http://www.pandragon.com Also no new emails on registering are being sent out and password reset not being sent out

@intimez thanks for the info. What version of Chrome and Firefox are you using?

I said possible related, because who knows exactly what “can’t crop” means. It could mean they are completely unable to crop, or it could mean that it’s the same issue as you. That’s why it’s always good to give as much detail as possible. I am however inclined to agree with you since you’re having the issue on Chrome and Firefox.

As far as posting images on Trac, you just click the add attachment button. Make sure you fill in the “Description” box when adding an image so people know what they’re about to see.

From your images, it looks like you were uploading a transparent gif or png. Is this correct? If so, which one? If it’s a png file, is it 8-bit, or 24-bit? Would you mind posting, for download/testing, the actual image you used where you got the error. Along with this, do you get the error on every image you try, or was it just that particular image? I know that’s a lot of questions, but they help.

@intimez
Saw your ticket on Trac. Can you give some more info on your setup? What kind of file (jpeg, gif, png, etc)? PHP version? Windows or Linux server? Browser/browser version? There is what seems to be a similar/related report of this issue here (https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/ie8-cant-crop-avatar-last-step-of-registration-for-buddypress-1-2-5/) using IE8.

Same here http://blog.davidhthomas.net unable to crop avatar in bp profile.

me too… don’t even get the crop tool… just a preselected crop of the uploaded image… which often isn’t very attractive

same problem here. any ideas?

also custom avatars no longer appear, nor to most of my thumbnails, pictures or avatar cropping.
files are uploaded into blogs.dir/files (I upgraded from WPMU) I have included the rewrite rule

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

but so far it’s not doing anything usefull.

Hi there – have you found a solution for this because I have the same on my wpmu 2.9.1 and buddypress 1.2.4.1 the crop tool are not working at all and 2 images are shown also. Please let me know if you have found the solution.

Thx.

I was able to fix mine finally. While it may not be a conflicting plugin, it is quite possible that the theme you are using is calling its own scripts in away that makes the DOM skip BP’s loading of jCrop. (I could be way off and may not even be using the terms correctly. In the end, jCrop was inserting into the source code but it seemed like it would be after everything else had ran.) In my case, I looked into my theme’s folder, and found that it had its own “includes” folder. Inside this folder was a “scripts.php” function. From there, I read where it was pulling its scripts from. I then dropped the jCrop into the directory that it was looking into, and inserted the code to load up jCrop. It fixed it. I know this won’t work for you probably, but I hope that I was able to explain it enough of a way that you will be able to find and fix it similar to my example.

Hopefully this will somehow get fixed in the next update, but who knows how long it will take?

Good luck, and I wish I could give a more cookiecutter way of fixing it.

It seems v1.2.4.1 has removed that piece of code. So far, out of scouring the internet for almost a week, I still have seen no type of help or aid in this. A few people have pointed to plugins interfering with the crop functionality but the only plugins I currently have are BP, and the BP Template Pack. I’m still trying to discover a fix myself but would greatly appreciate it if someone a little more code savvy has stumbled upon the fix.

It seems to revolve around jCrop not being a function. However, I inserted the function straight into the page but still can not get it to recognize as a function, which is quite interesting.
