BuddyPress.org

Users crop when they activate – not when they signup.

Just to add I have had a smilar no cropping issue (leaving black thumbs) and isolated the issue down to the WP Carousel plugin which iteslf resolved a previous issue I was having with an old jQuery image gallery!

I am now stuck between a rock and a hard place- have the nice image gallery rotating on the home page OR have the cropping fucntions working correctly wihtin BuddyPress

Weirdest issue with this jquery compatabilty theory is that I actually modified the WP Carousel plugin so it didn’t pull in it’s own jquery.js file so there SHOULD be no conflicts.

Will get in touch with the plugin authors but can I ask Jeff or anyone else what version of jQuery we can expect to see in the next BuddyPress update?

If I know this I can at least give the plugin developers a little more idea as to what I would like in an ideal world (after 1.2.6) but I can see some late nights getting friendly with jQuery ahead zzzz

I’ve heard of some issues related to IE8. That the ver you are having problems with?

Check all of your blogs.dir, 1, and uploads directory’s permissions, and see if any plugin you’ve installed previously has locked down any of them with .htaccess or .htpasswd files or modifications.

I’ve seen a few plugins (caching, or roles/capability/permissions) put strange rights on those directories, that allow the uploading of the initial image, do not allow the cropped images to get saved, and then disallow the website from accessing any image in those directories.

Physically go through each directory and manually assign the permissions yourself. Then also look for the existance of .htaccess or .htpasswd files in your wp-content/blogs.dir directory, and delete them if they exist.

I’m really not too sure what options you have at this time. But, I would strongly suggest that you contact each of the plugin developers and let them know of the issues you’ve had with uploading and cropping avatars in BuddyPress.

WordPress 2.8 will be using an updated version of jQuery. This may very well cause issues with plugins using older jQuery based scripts. Also, BuddyPress could be using a newer jQuery codebase than the plugins that you’ve mentioned. So, this issue will continue until the plugins are updated to a jQuery codebase that is compatible with BuddyPress.

The majority of the avatar handling code can be found in bp-core-avatars.php. The cropping code is found in bp-core-cssjs.php in function bp_core_add_cropper_js().

You’ve mention that the issue is resolved but then you have another thread here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=3103

So as to provide potential help to others, would you please take a moment to share the resolution with us.

I’m having a similar problem. On the activation screen I get a javascript error: “v1Cropper is undefined.” I haven’t changed the buddypress theme, but I have a custom wordpress theme installed and renamed its folder to “default” to force new blogs to use the customized theme. I saved the original default theme in a backup folder. Is it possible I need some file(s) from the original default wordpress theme? I’m using wordpress 2.7.1 and buddypress 1.0.

Hum, I’m at a loss as to what is going on in your particular situation.

Jpegs can be processed via the file uploader and cropper. You get a message of success, but then they are not actually written to the blogs.dir directory.

PNGs on the other hand, have issue with the file uploader and cropper. You get a 404 message but then they actual DO get written to the blogs.dir directory.

So, the permissions and ownership of the blogs.dir directory must be okay. You are able to write to this directory.

1. What are the avatar file sizes that you are attempting to upload?
2. What are the sizes of the jpg versus png files?
3. What is your setting for for maximum upload size in WPMU’s backend: “Site Admin > Options > Max upload file size”?
4. Do you have the png file format added to the list of accepted upload file formats? This option is found just above the setting for maximum upload size.

I created a ticket in trac a few days ago that may be of interest, but I do not think that it is the primary reason for your issue.

Uploading and cropping avatars appears to go fine – it even displays the proper thumbnail for each..they result in broken image links.

According to your posts, you have no problems uploading and cropping an image file. They get added to the blogs.dir directory. Otherwise, you would not be seeing them displayed, as you state.

But then you state this:

I look at that directory and the other images are there, but *not* the jpg (ie, owen3.png)

[later you state]

the jpegs seem to be what are missing. libjpeg does itself seem to be working as we can upload and crop jpegs elsewhere.

Look at the link you’ve provided. Those two-digit numbers preceded by the % sign are a two-digit hexadecimal representation of special characters in the URL encoding.

%20 --> equals a space

%27 --> equals an apostrophe

So your URL really looks like this:

noisepages.com//File 'wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/21/owen3.jpg' is not an image

Notice the space after the word “File” and the apostrophe before the “wp-content”. You also have more special characters after the jpg file extension.

Basically, this link is stating this:

'wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/21/owen3.jpg' is not an image

What file type are you initially uploading for use as your avatar? Is it a jpeg or png? What size?

I’d like to implement Jcrop before 2.8, but I’m not sure where the code should go… or is there a Plugin that could do this?

Thanks Jeff, the problem is, that it is a WPMU-Message and the only option I can choose is “try again”.

It only occurs, when I create a new group, when it comes to finish the avatar-cropping.

If I change it afterwards in the group options it soesn’t bring up this message.

It seems kind of strange… any ideas?

yes me too when i crop the picture I uploaded inmy site it became black when saved. using firefox browser

Jeff:

1. I’m using Facebuddy theme, but it is only CSS changes, so I don’t believe it could possibly cause the problem.

2. Running PHP5

3. My GD version is 2.0.28.

I’ve had a few users install Firefox and they were then able to properly upload and crop their avatars. The strange thing is that it looks like it is working, but once the final crop is done it goes black.

As suggested in this topic, Jcrop is gonna be implemented to WordPress 2.8

Perhaps it’s a good chance to replace the cropping system with Jcrop in the future releases like 1.1?
