Hello,
i was encouraged to update to jomsocial 3.1 after seeing some positive comments and now running through annoying issues
1- clicking on any video will take me to white empty page .. after switching error reporting i get the following error
Fatal error: Class 'CEngagement' not found in /home/demo/public_html/components/com_community/controllers/videos.php on line 557
2- after uploading the video, and running the cron i get error says fmpeg couldn't convert videos .. it used to work before .. check attached a screenshot1
3- when i upload a profile cover, you get promoted with (1 new message), the new cover image is borken when i click to load the message (check attached screenshot2)
4- when i upload a new photo, the share button keeps on loading despite the image being uploaded (check attached screenshot3)
5- i tried uploading a new photo from mobile, when i choose one, the page refreshes with nothing happening .. (android Samsung S3)
Hello Muhanad
Can you please check the provided credentials for your site.
I cant seem to pass the htaccess check
Ill try to answer your questions "on blind"
1, 3, 4, and 5.
I cant replicate this on the clean Joomla and JomSocial installation so it looks like a one-site-specific issue, most likely caused by some third party integration or plugin.
2. This was an issue on CentOS servers, fixed with version 3.1.0.1
Hi Sinsia,
Please try username:author pass:birdfish instead
I'm glad you are looking into this, im sure its some third party but this has to do with js 3.1 since it was working with no issues in all previous versions .. Thanks buddy
Hello Muhanad
Im not sure what updates youre expecting
Can you try this
Go and setup the clean version of Joomla you are using at your site, on the same server where your site is.
Install the clean JomSocial in it, with no third party extensions.
Try to replicate all these issues you have on this new site.
Hello Sinsia,
Updates:
issues #1 #4 are resolved after reinstalling jomsocial
issue #2 remains and previous uploaded ( not shared ) videos are not working. new video upload doesn't work as well, as the system is not converting the files
Issue #3 reminds - when i upload a profile cover, you get promoted with (1 new message), the new cover image is borken when i click to load the message (check attached screenshot2)
Issue 5 remains - mobile photo upload doesn't work
Regards,
Hello Muhanad
I have just tried this at your site
#2 changed and uploaded cover photo several times - they all appear, everywhere
Hello Sinsia
#2 cover page is not working properly at my end, i have uploaded a video for you to check. btw im using chrome
screencast.com/t/7Vh3ti2AhY7
#3 yes im running centOS but i can see that other members having problem uploading new videos. i have both problems with new videos and already uploaded videos not working!
#5. im going to investigate this issue on another phone and let you know
Regards,
Hello Muhanad
The issue number two happens because you never really saved the cover.
The autoload script "waits" for the cover image to actually be saved first.
If you navigate away without saving, or refresh,, the cover stream image will be automatically created and youll see it in your stream.
Why its happen?
Because stream content which all the pictures are, is not ajaxified and either require a save/cancel action or other browser trigger (such is moving away to other page)
#3 Everyone having issues with using FFMPEG on CentOS and its not limited only to JomSocial users
Hi Sinsia,
#2 i thought it's a bug on my website. i wonder how you can guys fix this in future cuz it doesn't seem professional to have an image looking broken .. users might get to think it failed or something as well
#3. so what do you advice me to do. 1 to get old videos to play 2 to get new videos to start playing .. do i open another thread for this particular problem? is the fix going to be released soon, what is the progress of this bug and are you going to continue try to convert videos to mp4 or you are going back to flv?
Hello Muhanad
#2 is really architectural issue that has to be discussed.
First, i would probably increase the autoloader time to something more than 30 sec. There is an option in the backend for that. If users still come complaining, as a quick fix, i would just remove it from the profile page with simple one-liner hack.
But to reach you with proper reply, we can do it right now, the problem is, majority of servers where people host their Joomla sites would simply stay out of memory.
That would indicate as page is stalling, and doing nothing... Ofcourse, im sure we can all predict the first one to be blamed right :)
#3 We are still fiddling with the various settings and workarounds. Currently a fix is being tested and we are at the point where ffmpeg on centos converts and plays video, but no thumbnail is being created. Surely, you can see it
here
You dont have to start new thread. We are well aware of the issues with FFMPEG on CentOS and are working really hard to find the proper solution which will work for it, while not breaking the other servers and as soon as we got the proper fix, it will be published.
Hi Sinsia,
I need to publish my website and the video issue remains .. any news ? i see in the forum that none of the members have problem with old videos not playing .. they only face problem uploading new ones .. what is the deal?
Regards,
Hi Muhanad,
The issue of videos not converting is in the final stages of testing so we hope that we can realise the fix to everyone as soon as possible
