I’m very interested in creating a page where members can change their profile picture. It is part of a custom “getting started” signup up process, so the member has completed registration and the following code is only displayed to logged in members.I have found very little documentation or examples out there, especially since the changes that took place in BP 2.3.

I’m not looking to abandon the current approach or fallbacks. So far I have the basic “change avatar” template by placing the template part on my page template:
bp_get_template_part( 'members/single/profile/change-avatar' );

When testing, the avatar is not being uploaded not to mention none of the additional scripts are being loaded. Through my research I did see suggestions to add:

wp_enqueue_style( 'jcrop' );
wp_enqueue_script( 'jcrop', array( 'jquery' ) );
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'bp_core_add_cropper_inline_js' );
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'bp_core_add_cropper_inline_css' );

but are they still relevant to the changes since 2.3?

First question: what is restricting the avatar from being uploaded on a page outside of the member profile?

Second question: are the current parts (styles/scripts…) not being loaded via bp_avatar_get_templates because I need to alter the bp_avatar_is_front_edit filter?

Thanks! Any directions is greatly appreciated.
