BuddyPress.org

I don’t have enough time to read through this right now, but I will later today or in the morning.

Hello,

over here i encountered this problem too.

I am using wpmu 2.8.4 with Buddypress 1.1.1 and an BBPress Forum (not the integrated version, cause i want to use it as standard forum too).

So since i changed from the old “Two-Theme” system to the new one where the member theme is inside my wp-maintheme, i have this Problem and cant get rid of it.

Step 1:

Everything is in DB and seems correct

Step 2:

after clicking “Next Step” there is another group created without base data but with status.

There is no new groupforum created.

Step 3:

Sometimes i get here and if so i have a correct group(or so it seems in database), but after choosing the avatar i get another error saying “try again”.

Step 4:

Long time no see ^^ I have not seen this step since i changed the theme -.-

Hopefully someone will find out what causes this error

@kas2 – can you try this on your install without running any plugins other than BuddyPress?

I don’t have AWPCP (but do actually want it once the basics are sorted) and I have the same problems as above,

It nmanifests itself in the incomplete avatar display and the non-functioning crop tool. It also hides the skip avatar step button so that ANY group creation gets stuck in the step 3 avatar upload screen and cannot progress.

BP 1.1.2 on WPMU 2.8.4a no BP plugins and only Akismet and Blog Defaults plugins on WPMU

Found similar issues on the osCommerce forums related to javascript uploaders for images, and in the WordPress.org forums for the WP media Library’s flash uploader since v2.5

Although I’m not tech enough to solve this issue, it does absolutely appear to be related to the javascript cropper for uploaded images ….. AND NOTHING ABOVE HAS FIXED IT FOR ME

Please don’t trot out the “start your own thread” instruction – there is too much of the above posts that are pertinent and the problem is not resolved.

…. or do you want the same situation as the WP.org forums that have hundreds of report threads about this error? None of them resolved other than to point at the WP plugin to use the “no flash uploader” plugin.

Gaz

Same issue here.

No other plugin installed except buddypress.

The errors i get are the same as Marcelo Vetter describes

For those of you using Another WordPress Classifieds Plugin it’s quite possible there is a conflict with the thickbox.js reference. I am revising the method used by the plugin to insert the thickbox code in the header. I believe that might be the cause of the conflict as it relates to AWPCP. I have not verified this yet. Have sent a modified test file to the user who reported this thread to me and awaiting his report on whether the changes do in fact fix his problem. Will update once that information is provided.

If you want to test for yourself in the meantime you can find and completely remove this function at around line 144 in awpcp.php

function awpcp_insert_thickbox() {

global $siteurl,$wpinc;

echo “n”.’

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”‘.$siteurl.’/’.$wpinc.’/js/thickbox/thickbox.css” type=”text/css” media=”screen” />

<script type=”text/javascript”>

var tb_pathToImage = “‘.$siteurl.’/’.$wpinc.’/js/thickbox/loadingAnimation.gif”;

var tb_closeImage = “‘.$siteurl.’/’.$wpinc.’/js/thickbox/tb-close.png”;

</script>

‘;

}

Update: you will also need to remove the line

add_action(‘wp_head’, ‘awpcp_insert_thickbox’, 10);

(you’ll find it around line 167)

It’s very possible there is a JS conflict between plugins, but it’s less likely there is a conflict in the core WordPress files (though not impossible.)

Since the cropper tool relies on JavaScript entirely to function, it will fail without any real degradation if there’s a JS error or the user has JavaScript disabled. The first scenario is more likely to upset people, as if someone specifically has disabled JavsScript in their browser, they’re probably used to getting jipped on their web experience.

I’m going to link this topic to…

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/avatar-upload-issues?replies=1#post-28737

…but I’m keeping it open for now, since it seems to be a little different than the above link.

This is my savior, yes the tickbox in ACWP is the culprit. THANK YOU!!!

@JJJ: Thats great news – will this be also merged in trunk code? I couldn’t find it there yet.

I have the same issue here. WP 2.9.1 with BuddyPress 1.2.3. It worked in the beginning, but yesterday it just stopped working. I added a few plugins from the BuddyPress extensions list, but the avatar panel doesn’t load even when I disable them.

Should I uninstall all of the BP extensions in order to check whether this is going to work again?
