Dear all ..
thanks i'd like to thank everyone who made it possible for this module to happen specially Michelle. i saw the socnet site and i was trying to make a similar duplication by fallowing the guide with all the modules used in the socnet site. but it seems that there was something missing. i can't see the author pane icons. the only icon i can see is the online status icon. i can't see any of the other icons under the user picture. i updated all the modules and tried the APK beta version. still nothing changed. i remade the whole site again and fallowing the guide carefully still i didn't work.
i was reading about other people that had this issue but there was no solution mentioned. i even tired to add the code for the add buddy link to show from this thrid: http://drupal.org/node/326833
it didn't work too. so i'm wondering if i missed something. please guys i'm welling to give you all the information needed if your welling to help.

other thirds that had the same problem before ..

Did you clear your cache? This is working fine for me on my two D5 sites.

Title: APK auther pane icons not showing » APK author pane icons not showing

yes i cleared my browsers cache, i'm using firefox2 and IE7. both are not showing the icons. but i can see the online status icon. do you think this have to do anything the WAMP server i have? maybe the php version i have which is 5.2.5 or the Mysql which is 5.0.51a?
i'm also suspecting the modules being linked to the author pane. because it's mentioned here that they have to be linked
http://drupal.org/node/326809
but i have the latest versions of privatemsg and buddylist .. drupal 5.14 with all the community modules updated. i also played with the author pane and removed the if condition out of the function and just pasted this

print $privatemsg;

i still didn't get the icon. but i got an empty block with out the icon.
i don't know what else to do. can someone do me a favor, can you do a new installation of drupal and the APK and see if you get this issue?

thanks

So just to be sure I have this right:

1) You have buddylist.author-pane.inc in your buddylist directory with the buddylist.module file.
2) You have buddylist enabled.
3) You cleared your cache after adding this file.
4) The user account doing the viewing has access to add buddies.
5) The user account being viewed allows buddies.
6) The user doing the viewing and the user being viewed are not the same.

Are all of those true?

That's way more advanced support than I'm going to have time for any time soon. I've given you all the advice I can think of. You'll need to do more troubleshooting on your own. If you are still stuck when I get done with this project I'm working on, then maybe I can get on your site and look.

i'm having the same issues. i followed these instructions:
http://drupal.org/node/214350

the instructions seem to be missing steps. doesnt mention anything about "Author Pane" module or copying buddylist.author-pane.inc to buddlysit directory.

The next section on "Extra configuration with helper modules documentation" (http://drupal.org/node/214392) only indicate that the "author pane" panels content type will make use of these modules automatically. but there seems to be several manual steps that are missing.

Where are these steps documented??? I seem to be missing some critical info.

Is "Author Pane" module required?

@tborrome: The file is here: #326833: Advanced Forum / Advanced Profile Kit integration . No, the author pane module is not required for beta1.

ok thanks ... where do you have links for the other contrib modules as well (privatemsg, guestbook)?

also - what cache are you referring to for clearing ? the browser cache, Drupal page cache or Panels cache?

You mean this one listed under "important note" right on the project page? #343853: Integration of other modules with Advanced Forum and Advanced Profile Kit

By cache I mean the site's cache. Using devel or clearing the cache* tables in the database.

alright thanks, that helps.

one more question - is user node still required for APK with Buddy List to work?

Pardon all the questions - I got so used to the previous version of APK.

There is no buddylist integration in beta 1 since it was taken out in the rewrite. I changed my mind, mostly because a client wanted it, and put it back so it will be there in beta 2. And, yes, it will require usernode. Views 1 doesn't work with users.

Sorry - your last comment got me confused ...

So if there's no buddlyist integration in beta 1, why do we have to copy over buddylist.author-pane.inc to the buddylist module? I still see buddylist integration in your socnet demo site. (buddy avatars appearing in the profile view .. is this not beta 1?

The author pane file is different. That's just for the little add/remove buddy icon. That never went away. It's the buddylist gallery that I removed because it was a PITA. The demo site is running the dev, which is why it's there.

Ok, now that beta 2 / alpha 1 are out, this discussion is moot.

tborrome commented

cool .. looking forward to trying beta2 out..

is integration with PrivateMsg available in beta2 How come in your socnet demo, there are no "Send a Message" and "Add as Buddy" icons? The only icon I see is the Online/Offline indicator.

Thanks again!

Version: 5.x-1.0-beta1 » 5.x-1.0-rc2

Comment #10 is the solution for ICONS not showing up. On my website www.bodynsoulmodels.com I could not seem to get the Private Message Icons on the Author Pane. After adding the privatemsg.author-pane.inc file into the root folder of the Private message module the problem was solved. My users can PM each other again from the visited user profile. I am using Private Message 3, and could not find an updated version of it that had the solution build in.

But thanks to the inc file it works!!
