Double Data?

    Hi,

    I had a developer insist that I disable all plugins to address a problem in their code. I wish I had ignored them because disabling XProfile sync and then reactivating it has caused a weird issue.

    I was aware of this: “Note: because there is no way to hide XProfile fields, all data associated with this plugin will be lost when it is deactivated.”

    But upon reactivating XProfile, I now have double instances of the existing profile fields for my users – not in the administration of the extended fields. I can’t find any replication there or in the user profiles via the dashboard. However, a BP member’s profile has two instances of all the extended fields, and a registration page does also. You can see that here:

    https://www.quiltersbug.com/subscriptions/?action=registeruser&subscription=1

    This site hasn’t been rolled out yet, so if there are DB entries to delete, that’s not a big deal for us. But I wouldn’t know where to begin.

    Can you help me get rid of these duplicate fields? Again, they are not indicated in the admin area at all.

    Thanks for a great plugin otherwise – I intend to use it once I clear up this issue.

    James

    Hi James, no email received as yet – but I’ve checked to see if I can replicate the duplicated profile fields you’re seeing and so far I can’t. Deactivating this plugin does indeed delete the field definitions but does not the field data. So in theory your developer should be able to reconnect the data with the newly created fields by manipulating the IDs that the data references. Cheers, Christian

    Hi Christian. I’ve sent two messages. Would you mind if I share the additional information here? Or could you check for emails from [email protected]?

    Christian – I’m sorry for the hassle with email not passing through. I just tried sending again from my gmail account rather than my corporate account. Thanks for hanging in there for me. – James

    Please close this topic. I’ve worked it out in the database.

    Great to hear James. I’ll see if I can do anything about the issue in the next release – having looked at your issue, I realise that it would be possible to store the outgoing field IDs and reconnect the field data to the newly created field IDs on reactivation. Might be an expensive operation with large datasets, but some documentation for those instances would help sysadmins. Cheers, Christian

    Hi @james,
    Sorry to bother you was hoping you could clarify how you worked this issue out in the database I believe I’m experiencing something similar.
    Thank you

    Hi Garrett,

    I see you’ve posted elsewhere too, but I think it could be useful to others to post what was happening:

    “The caching that was happening was that the initial default profile groups query was being pulled from the cache and being *added to* when my plugin re-queried the profile groups. Hence the duplicated fields.”

    I haven’t fully addressed this in the plugin, but now that BuddyPress has a filter that runs before the query takes place, I will update the plugin to use that when it’s available. This may solve the issue.

    Cheers, Christian

    Thanks @christian,

    I greatly appreciate the update and elaboration, now it makes sense how the caching could have created a conflict there. Looking forward to your update, but no rush as I can live without that cache enabled.

    All the best,
    Cheers

    Hi Garrett, have you tried out the new branch on GitHub to see if it helps?

    Cheers, Christian

    Hi @christian, we’re good to go with the new branch worked like a charm, only thing I probably won’t get to test for you is any Buddypress versions before 2.1, aside from that you’re good to push it into the next update.
    I appreciate the expedited support mate, truly spectacular.
    All the best,
    Cheers
