I’m not exactly looking for a solution to this problem, but some pointing in the right direction would be really helpful.

Recently (I’m not actually 100% sure if this started happening right after an update to CBOX and BP Docs or after some other change) I haven’t been able to add attachments to Docs. The attachments that I’ve already uploaded still show up like they used to, but the Add File button doesn’t work anymore, and produces the following errors in javascript – “Uncaught ReferenceError: bp_docs is not defined” and “Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘frame’ of undefined” from the following functions respectively from attachments.js in the BP Docs plugin:

$(document).ready(function(){
  file_frame = new BP_Docs_MediaFrame({
    title: bp_docs.upload_title, // this is the line that produces the error
    button: {
      text: bp_docs.upload_button,
      text: bp_docs_attachments.upload_button
    },
    multiple: false
  });

  Library = file_frame.states.get('library');
});

$('.add-attachment').on('click', function( event ){
  event.preventDefault();
  // Change to upload mode
  Library.frame.content.mode('upload'); // this is the line that produces the error
  // Open the dialog
  file_frame.open();
  return;
});

It makes sense that if bp_docs is undefined that file_frame wouldn’t get defined and so Library would never get defined and clicking the Add File button would produce an error. My question is where is bp_docs defined in javascript for the BP Docs plugin? I looked around in the other js files in the plugin and couldn’t find it. I see that it’s referenced in bp-docs.js but not defined anywhere there. What would make bp_docs cause a javascript uncaught reference error in attachments.js? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Dan

Hi Daniel –

I think Ray or Boone would be the best ones to answer your question, as they have developed and worked with this plugin extensively.

Hi @r-a-y  /  @cbox-admin – can one of you help Daniel out?  Thanks.

I’m not that familiar with BP Docs to be honest. But I’ll try to take a look at this in the upcoming days or so.

Boone (@cbox_admin) would be a better person to ask.

Dan – What version of BuddyPress Docs are you running? Try (manually) updating to 1.8.1. It’s likely that https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-docs/commit/9189226e230308a4ecd25f5c365d8a9bc1d94f1d will fix your issue (you can also try applying it manually).
