Loading of activities compromised after last update

Hi @elexem –

Thanks for the detailed post.

First, regarding SocialMag. It appears to be written in such a way that it’s not fully compatible with BuddyPress. It contains a buddypress.php top-level template, which attempts to load a /parts/content-buddypress.php template, but the latter does not exist. So it loads the default content.php template, which calls the_excerpt(), which doesn’t work properly with the way that BuddyPress injects its contents into templates.

Aside from this, I was not able to reproduce your errors. I tested against both BuddyPress 4.1.0 and BuddyPress 3.2.0, to test whether a BP update changed anything, but found the same thing:

– Activity pages load content whether running Heartbeat or not
– Activity pages load content whether running Glossary or not

It could be that there’s some more complex interaction causing failure in your case, and it could be that these aspects are part of the story, but with these items alone I cannot reproduce the problems.

It may help if you can clarify the following:
– Have you tested with both Nouveau and Legacy templates? I see that your liberal.is site is currently running Nouveau. Dashboard > Settings > BuddyPress > Options.
– When you say that activity items are not loading, I have a feeling you mean different things in different cases. For SocialMag, it appears that none of the BP content actually appears (or rather, only a small plaintext excerpt appears, with no dynamic functionality or styling). But I’m guessing that the behavior in other cases is different. Could you explain in more detail? Perhaps share screenshots.
– Please open your browser’s developer console to the Network tab, and see whether the AJAX requests made by BP are returning any sorts of errors.

hey, @boonebgorges;
first of all, thanks a ton for getting back to me even tho I posted in the wrong place. Now, to your feedback ??

– understood re SocialMag; so we drop this;

– re >> some more complex interaction causing failure<< I have in the meantime received also a reaction by Glossary’s Author Daniele Scasciafratte (@mte90) in another thread over @ https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/conflicting-with-buddypress-after-their-last-update/#post-10979256 + will pursue his suggestions also + let you know once I did.

– interesting hint re Noveau vs Legacy template/s; I’d _never_ thought to think of that ?? Let me check that first of all things > I have switched BuddyPress’ template back to legacy + the activity items _do_ load on https://liberal.is/aktivitaet/ [re your question: >> When you say that activity items are not loading, I have a feeling you mean different things in different cases<< I’m sorry I wasn’t more precise before. What I mean is the listing of BuddyPress community members doing stuff, like posting updates, commenting status updates, change pictur/es etc. etc.] when Glossary is off. Next, I switched Glossary back on + the activity items failed to load again.

So, I think next I’ll be giving Daniele’s suggestion a spin + then take it from there, yeah?

Cheers so far! + best regards – LX

checked and confirmed : definitely a line in Glossary causing the hiccup > https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/conflicting-with-buddypress-after-their-last-update/#post-10979894

Pursuing this further with Daniele ftm, then. More thanks for your help so far, nonetheless. Should you have any ideas on how to reconcile Glossary + BuddyPress by all means do feel very welcome to join on in over there. ??

Cheers – LX

Excellent – glad to hear that the Glossary team is following up! Glancing briefly at the code, I don’t have a clear idea of how to make their query process more effective, but I’ll jump into that thread if I have any brainstorms.
