Since doing the WP 3.6 CBox 1.0.5 updates I now get a “You are browsing the archive for Posts.” page when I click on the “Create new doc” button in any group’s Doc page.

FWIW I also saw the CBox theme options returning “0” bug but then it went away without my having applied the hotfix.

Help?
Dale.

More FWIW the access log entry says
64.79.125.74 – – [19/Aug/2013:13:41:10 -0400] “GET /wp-content/uploads/exports/cbox-theme/dynamic.js?ver=3.6 HTTP/1.1” 304 – “http://femtechnet.newschool.edu/docs/create/?group=commons-committee” “Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/28.0.1500.95 Safari/537.36”
And nothing appears in the error log

[Dale MacDonald]

Bump!

Any call to /docs/create whether raw or with a group name query results in a “You are browsing the archive for Posts.

Not Found
” page.

Any hints on where to look to debug this?

Thanks,
Dale.

[Dale MacDonald]

Curiously, Lisa Brundage thinks the buttons on the group Docs page should result in URLs of the form
/groups/groupname/docs/create (which actually does create a new doc in the right place) where what is currently showing up is of the form /docs/create/?group=groupname

Does this ring any bells?

[Boone Gorges]

Dale – Do you have FTP or file-level access to the server? Could you look at the file wp-content/plugins/buddypress-docs/loader.php and tell me what it says by “Version” in the plugin header? It should be 1.4.5.

You may be having a problem with permalinks. Please go to Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks and re-save your current settings (this will regenerate any corrupt settings).

Are you able to visit individual Doc pages without any problem? How about /docs/, the Docs directory?

[Dale MacDonald]

1.4.5

Permalinks reset. No help.

/docs works fine (though the add doc button there suffers the same fate).

I did see this in templatetags.php which smelled funny

	/**
         * Get the link to create a Doc
         *
         * @package BuddyPress_Docs
         * @since 1.2
         */
	function bp_docs_get_create_link() {
		return apply_filters( 'bp_docs_get_create_link', trailingslashit( bp_docs_get_archive_link() . BP_DOCS_CREATE_SLUG ) );
	}

is bp_docs_get_archive_link() right?

Thanks,
Dale.

[Boone Gorges]

Thanks, Dale. Yes, bp_docs_get_archive_link() is right. /docs/create *is* the correct link for the Docs create page. I’m a bit surprised that /groups/groupname/docs/create works at all – this is an error in the implementation.

I’ve also been looking at the diff between 1.4.3 (the previous version of Docs included in Commons In A Box) and version 1.4.5 (the version currently included), and I can’t see anything that would affect something like this. Still, as a test, perhaps you could try getting the older version and replacing your newer version with it, just to test whether this actually is the culprit. You can get it from here: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/buddypress-docs.1.4.3.zip

Do single Docs resolve correctly? /docs/foo etc

Can you say more about your server? Are you running a fairly vanilla Apache setup on Linux? I ask because the Create page is a kind of pseudo-page created by faking an endpoint within WP, and I wonder if something funny might be happening with the way your server is handling rewrites. On this same note, maybe you could test some places where similar rewrites are happening: for instance, editing or viewing the history of a single Doc. Do these work correctly? Here’s the place in the plugin where WP should be intercepted to create the pseudo-page: https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-docs/blob/5caaee85522197d565a50635cfd18c2cc43a0635/bp-docs.php#L427 If you were going to debug, this would be the place to start. Maybe the check on 448 is failing? Or maybe the parse_query() method isn’t getting run at all?

[Dale MacDonald]

448 runs fine. the $posts_query looks like

"name":"","post_type":"bp_doc","create":"1","error":"","m":0,"p":0,"post_parent":"","subpost":"","subpost_id":"","attachment":"","attachment_id":0,"static":"","pagename":"","page_id":0,"second":"","minute":"","hour":"","day":0,"monthnum":0,"year":0,"w":0,"category_name":"","tag":"","cat":"","tag_id":"","author_name":"","feed":"","tb":"","paged":0,"comments_popup":"","meta_key":"","meta_value":"","preview":"","s":"","sentence":"","fields":"","menu_order":"","category__in":[],"category__not_in":[],"category__and":[],"post__in":[],"post__not_in":[],"tag__in":[],"tag__not_in":[],"tag__and":[],"tag_slug__in":[],"tag_slug__and":[],"post_parent__in":[],"post_parent__not_in":[]},"tax_query":{"queries":[],"relation":"AND"},"meta_query":false,"post_count":0,"current_post":-1,"in_the_loop":false,"comment_count":0,"current_comment":-1,"found_posts":0,"max_num_pages":0,"max_num_comment_pages":0,"is_single":false,"is_preview":false,"is_page":false,"is_archive":true,"is_date":false,"is_year":false,"is_month":

[Boone Gorges]

Thanks. The next place to debug is https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-docs/blob/5caaee85522197d565a50635cfd18c2cc43a0635/includes/theme-bridge.php#L39, where at line 55 $new_template should be set to single-bp_doc.php.

[Dale MacDonald]

bp_docs_template_include() returns from the if ( ! bp_docs_is_docs_component() ) clause with $template = /home/femtechnet/public_html/wp-content/themes/cbox-theme/archive.php

It never gets to line 55

Great, it sounds like this is where the problem is. The next step is to check why the bp_docs_is_docs_component() check is failing. Here’s the source: https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-docs/blob/5caaee85522197d565a50635cfd18c2cc43a0635/includes/functions.php#L387 On the Create page, the first condition should be hit: is_post_type_archive( bp_docs_get_post_type_name() ). But apparently it’s not being evaluated to true.

Could you do some further debugging from that point? Looking at how is_post_type_archive() is supposed to work, I’m guessing (and this is only an educated guess) that for some reason WP_Query is not setting the is_post_type_archive flag around here: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-includes/query.php#L1577 I can see from your $posts_query paste above that is_archive is set to true, but not is_post_type_archive, so something is amiss, though I can’t guess exactly what or why without further debugging.

Thanks.

[Dale MacDonald]

OK I’ve poked around a bit indeed is_post_type_archive( bp_docs_get_post_type_name() ) returning false.
I’ve played a bit with wp-includes/query.php and I don’t see anything interesting if I put an else clause on

 if ( ! empty( $post_type_obj->has_archive ) )
$this->is_post_type_archive = true;  

so I’m not sure where above that we are running off the rails. Putting debug statements in parse-query() generates a whole lot of stuff and it frightens the users when it suddenly appears so I have to be judicious. Do you imagine a smarter place to trigger_error()?

Thanks,
Dale.

[Boone Gorges]

If you’re freaking out your users with debug stuff, just wrap it in if ( is_super_admin() ) {}. Hopefully you can keep plugging along and find a lead….

[Dale MacDonald]

LOL It’s the other super-admins that freak out the most! :-O
I’ve discovered in this process that there are a couple of other plugins that still have if ( WP_DEBUG) statements lurking in them. While I really need to get this problem fixed my server has decided to wedge an httpd process every 12 hours or so and run away with the CPU so I have to get that tamed first.
