Everything good execpt for avatar croping

Nobody have problem with firefox 3.5.2 to crop avatar ?

Same here, the crop tool doesn’t appear for the first thumb.

Wp Mu 2.8.4

BuddyPress Version 1.0.3

Firefox3.5.2

Default budypress community theme

Worked fine with Bp 1.02

Deactivate any plugins you may have installed that esp lightbox.It worked for me.When I deavtivated It did not only allow for cropping but also showed the right image after uploading(previously it used to turn black.)

I’m hoping to get a beta out today, but if not it will be in the next couple of days. Then 2 weeks of testing then a final at the end of the month if nothing major crops up.

Probably not, but you could probably edit the text yourself!

One way of doing this is by cropping just the text as an image and running it through WhatTheFont to identify the font and then making your textual edits (providing you have the font in question!)

I receive a JS error and the Crop box doesn’t appear. Pretty sure that’s your problem as well.

In another thread, one of the BP developers was saying they are aware and working on a fix for this. It’s an issue with several browsers at the moment..

i have this issue on my newest DarkPress 2 theme: http://www.buddydress.com/2009/08/darkpress-2-now-compatible-with-firefox-3-5/

the cropping works fine with IE, but it sucks with Firefox.

I have had the same problem from WPMU 2.7.1, Buddy Press 1.0, all the way up tp WPMU 2.8.4 and BuddyPress 1.0.3. It’s driving me crazy and I can’t figure out why this is happening. It’s difficult to crop user avatar and impossible for groups to crop avatars.

Hello Andy,

Another thing that I noticed is that when a user signs up with facebook connect, they get their profile image as their avatar but when you click on change avatar and upload and crop, nothing happens. The avatar still remains their facebook profile picture.

Any thoughts on why that is happening ?

Thanks

The cropping tool will be getting a makeover/update in upcoming versions. This isn’t only with Firefox but other browsers as well. It usually works really well with the normal BP member theme, but anytime a theme has a fixed width, the JS doesn’t play nicely and it doesn’t get the dimensions of the bounding box properly.

Long story short, we’re on it.

I do not know if the NextGen Gallery plugin modifies the wp_sitemeta table. I suggest that you disable the plugin and see if the issue goes away.

If you are running a newer version of WPMU than is currently supported by NextGen Gallery, you could have issues.

Also, I do know that there are some issues running BP with the NextGen Gallery plugin–with avatar cropping. It’s possible that is could be causing other issues as well. Contact the developers of that plugin and ask for their help and whether or not they plan to support BuddyPress.

Changing these settings will also not go back and change any existing avatars, so it’s best to set this one time and forget about it (until you update later.)

I recommend copy and pasting those define’s into a bp-custom.php file so that way BuddyPress upgrades won’t reset those values for you.

Take a look at the first few lines of file bp-core-avatars.php in the plugins/buddypress/bp-core directory.

/* Define settings for avatars. [TODO] This will eventually end up as admin configurable settings */

define( 'CORE_AVATAR_V1_W', apply_filters( 'bp_core_avatar_v1_w', 50 ) );

define( 'CORE_AVATAR_V1_H', apply_filters( 'bp_core_avatar_v1_h', 50 ) );

define( 'CORE_AVATAR_V2_W', apply_filters( 'bp_core_avatar_v2_w', 150 ) );

define( 'CORE_AVATAR_V2_H', apply_filters( 'bp_core_avatar_v2_h', 150 ) );

Currently they are not admin configurable yet, so keep not of the changes you make.

I’m having the same problem with the ShareThis plugin. What’s weird is that you didn’t get that annoying code — SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: ””, url: ”” }); — with BuddyPress 1.0, only subsequent versions. You can see it in action on my site at http://injersey.com

I see the same thing happening with the Popularity Contest plugin automatically adding code into the “Featured Members” part of the site:

AKPC_IDS += \”,\”;

Popularity: unranked [?]

I’ve already contacted the plugin authors to notify them. But anyone on here have an idea what might be causing these issues? As I mentioned above, they’ve only cropped up in the latest revisions to buddypress

I have a similar problem, but this only occurs with Firefox 3.x and Opera, with Exploiter (IE) the Crop appears without problem and you can view the image and select you crop area.

I’m advocate to debug it, or if someone has the fix where can I download ?….

What other 3rd-party plugins do you have installed and activated?

There is a growing list of plugins that interfere with the avatar uploading and/or cropping process within BP. See this thread: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/faq-how-to-code-snippets-and-solutions#post-11864

Just to address JohnJamesJacoby’s first concern, that’s not how OpenID works. “Sniffing” ain’t allowed. Authentication takes place *not* on the new site, but on the old site, i.e., Google or Facebook, and the *only* thing the new site is getting in terms of authentication is an oAuth token saying “Google says you’re good, so I’m going to authenticate you, using Google’s token and whatever other information you and Google have chosen to give me.”

That means the new site gets NO password.

ZERO.

ZILCH.

Now porting other data, and concerns over privacy with regards to that? Well, it’s not using Google or Facebook’s data, it’s *porting* it, so, yes, I can see privacy concerns cropping up all over the place with that, and it is a little Wild West right now.

But that will get better over time. Somebody will think of a way to better secure your data, etc.

Incidentally the OLD way for porting data *did* have the new site capture your password, i.e., to import friends on Facebook, you had to enter your email and password for, say, gmail, and then trust that Facebook wouldn’t keep it but would only scrape the data from gmail *one time*…THAT is dangerous, and, thankfully, OpenID and oAuth (distributed social networking) is doing away with that bad practice.

First of all, since this post has not seen any activity for 3 months, it is better to start a new thread as most people that can help you will often ignore posts marked resovlved, preferring to spending their time focusing on threads that stll are unresolved. Please read this for more information.

Second, read this and see if you can find your answer.

Hi all,

I have the same problem of image crop on my site http://yaarian.net. Is there anyone who has the solution for this.

Whenever a new user registers he get an email saying click this to activate.

And when I click it it takes me to a wierd place to crop avatars

Okay, I’m a little confused by what you are reporting:

1. So, are you just testing a new BuddyPress installation? Why else would you be clicking on a new user’s registration.
2. If that is the case, have you tried using two different browsers–one for each user?
3. Have you cleared old session cookies before registering a new user?
4. Which version of BuddyPress are you running?
5. There should only be one confirmation email sent. It is the one with the activation link. Are you using different emails for each account? Be default, WPMU makes sure that there are no duplciate accounts.
6. Are you using a custom themes, or the default themes?
7. Do you have any other plugins, besides BuddyPress, installed and activated? If so, have you tried deactivating them to check if they might be causing a conflict?

Believe it or not, I’ve actually had this EXACT same problem on every website I’ve used BP for, and I cannot for the life of me find a fix. I think the problem lies with websites that use a set width and use a specific method of positioning.

The JavaScript in the cropper is actually another opensource project that was included into BP, as there are several to choose from. It looks like it’s getting the wrong dimensions from somewhere, but I haven’t been able to find out where.

Maybe this weekend if I have time I’ll take a look at this in more detail.

There is nothing mysterious about this problem. It occurs when bp is not activated and you launch the home theme. The home theme’s functions.php runs it gets to the first bit of code that requires a bp global BP_PLUGIN_DIR and crashes.

Does bp live in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress? (not /mu-plugins)?

Have you activated bp sitewide?

Does it activate properly?

This error began cropping up initially way back when bp moved from /mu-plugins to /plugins. There were also errors like this when bp was not in the dir /buddypress and couldn’t activate properly.

This is not a bug. It’s a config/install issue.

What I suggest is “height: auto and width: for example 50px as it is. Is that possible?

I tried to change the code as follows:

/* Define settings for avatars. [TODO] This will eventually end up as admin configurable settings */

define( ‘CORE_AVATAR_V1_W’, apply_filters( ‘bp_core_avatar_v1_w’, 90 ) );

define( ‘CORE_AVATAR_V1_H’, apply_filters( ‘bp_core_avatar_v1_h’, auto ) );

define( ‘CORE_AVATAR_V2_W’, apply_filters( ‘bp_core_avatar_v2_w’, 180 ) );

define( ‘CORE_AVATAR_V2_H’, apply_filters( ‘bp_core_avatar_v2_h’, auto ) );

define( ‘CORE_CROPPING_CANVAS_MAX’, apply_filters( ‘bp_core_avatar_cropping_canvas_max’, 450 ) );

define( ‘CORE_MAX_FILE_SIZE’, get_site_option(‘fileupload_maxk’) * 1024 );

Unfortunately it gives me an error message. I have no idea why….
