Hello,

Sorry for late reply, but I have been in contact with my theme developer and he shared a photo of errors showing … can you please tell which error is preventing the cropping tool from showing?

Figured out the problem. The file name for the profile image was too long. It needed to be shortened. Upload and cropping is working great.

I revised bp-custom.php to have the following code –

<?php
// hacks and mods will go here
define ( ‘BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH’, 60 );
define ( ‘BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT’, 60 );
define ( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH’, 150 );
define ( ‘BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT’, 150 );
define ( ‘BP_AVATAR_ORIGINAL_MAX_WIDTH’, 640 );
define ( ‘BP_AVATAR_ORIGINAL_MAX_FILESIZE’, 20000 );
add_filter( ‘bp_do_register_theme_directory’, ‘__return_true’ );
?>

By changing the line – define ( ‘BP_AVATAR_ORIGINAL_MAX_FILESIZE’, 20000 ); to have the numeric value of 20000 it now allows me to upload an avatar image.

But now it will now allow me to crop the image.

Error message reads – There was a problem cropping your profile photo.

Update 3, correction:

The crop did not work for files which contains -bpfull in his name.

For example, if you download your avatar, and try to re-upload, the crop will not work.

Update 3:

The crop did not work with files with a wrong permission.

As an update, when new UI is disabled, the jcrop css and js are loaded without any problems.

However, when I open the console, it says ” JCrop is not a function”.

Something is disabling JCrop function or it needs to be enabled through some specific function?

@imath please provide some suggestions to troubleshoot.

Tried the following: inactivated all the plugins; tried loading avatar.css and avatar.js files

Thanks. Oh joy! 🙂 Why cant someone invent a plugin to spot conflicts in plugins or something! Thanks I’ll do this tomorrow.

By the way it would be nice if the group cover process lets you crop an image you upload too or something.

Thanks again!

Thanks @henrywright
I have the Divi Theme activated.
WP 4.4
latest BP 188
about 18 plugins activated.
I deactivated all the plugins.
Cropping worked.
Reactivated each one by one.
Cropping still worked.
All of them!
Then I refresh the page on the group avatar editing page and bam, not working again.

wtf I dont get it?

Also Im using a plugin called Buddypress Docs its like a Wiki plugin and the Visual editor doesnt work now in it just the text editor. Maybe thats related?>

Is there a way to easily get a list of plugins I’m using to show you/others?

I very much doubt my install has been compromised. In fact, searching through the buddypress support forum it seems this is an issue that crops up after imports – so I believe there is probably something in the core code doing this.

A couple of examples:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/post-migration-constant-user-email-notifications-for-mentions/ @zane

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/mass-notifications-of-old-mentions/ @halo-diehard

Disabling my mail server is not a practical solution. For now I will just have to block all email notifications for mentions until (hopefully) a solution is found.

Pssst @netweb – are you still around?

Still looking for any direction or examples where I can create a separate page (outside of the BP member registration or member profile) where members can upload and crop there avatar using the new BP_Attachment_Avatar introduced in 2.3.

The most help/up-to-date info seems to stem from this post.

@imath Would you be able to point me in the right direction? What is restricting the avatar from being uploaded on a page outside of the member profile?

Thanks!

Thank you mrjarbenne, I appreciate the advice and will keep that doc in my back pocket through this adventure. And thanks for pointing me in the right direction with the above suggested IIS link.

I am pleased to report that my BP links are now working. Here is what I did and where I got stumped initially:

Using Windows 2012 R2 server with IIS manager to setup a local intranet.

So I created a site called “Test” and here is what happened:
1- I followed the direction in the link provided above by first taking Permalinks off of Default and using the suggested custom structure.
2- I created a web.config file and placed it in the wwwroot folder (same top level as the “Test” folder).
3- I copied the code from what was suggested in the link:
`<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name=”Main Rule” stopProcessing=”true”>
<match url=”.*” />
<conditions logicalGrouping=”MatchAll”>
<add input=”{REQUEST_FILENAME}” matchType=”IsFile” negate=”true” />
<add input=”{REQUEST_FILENAME}” matchType=”IsDirectory” negate=”true” />
</conditions>
<action type=”Rewrite” url=”test/index.php”/>
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>

Two differences with what was provided in the link and what I used above in order for it to work for me:
1- I placed it within the <system.webserver> container. Not a coder, so not sure if this mattered or not.
2- I correctly entered MY FILE LOCATION to the index.php file (test/index.php)

At this point, I have links that are working. That’s a win and it’s on to the next challenge in order to use BP. Totally stoked now. Having some issue with the profile/avatart pic not appearing in order for the user to crop, but that is likely another topic to search or create 🙂

Thanks!
